JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: ON THE POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT AS SECRETARY OF STATE OF REX TILLERSON WITH MIKE POMPEO



COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN


"White House reportedly has plan to replace Rex Tillerson with CIA chief"

Makes sense to me.

After all, Tillerson actually does say some intelligent things on occasion.

We just can't be having that, now can we?

Mike Pompeo?

Trump couldn't pick a better mouthpiece for CIA and the intelligence establishment.

I don't say that just because Pompeo has briefly served as CIA Director (isn't all service brief in this chaotic administration?)

He has a record in Congress and before.

Trump is so weakened and flawed, the security-military establishment is grabbing for all the power it can get.
