Secretary of State Rex Tillerson sought to lay to rest longstanding speculation about his impending departure from the State Department on Wednesday in an impromptu address that derided recent media coverage as "erroneous."I don't put too much stock in this report. Primarily because Mnuchin is an ex-Goldman Sachs guy and one of the folks who profited greatly from kicking people out of their homes at the start of the Great Recession.
...
One US official expressed confidence in Tillerson's status due to a so-called "suicide pact" forged between Defense Secretary James Mattis, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, and Tillerson, whereby all three cabinet secretaries vow to leave in the event that the president makes moves against one of them.
He might was well have "WEASEL" tattooed in block letters across his forehead. Or "POND SCUM".[1]
