Rex Tillerson fired: Trump replaces secretary of state with CIA director

Tuesday, 13 March 2018

quote [ President tweets CIA director Mike Pompeo will be top diplomat and Gina Haspel named to become first female director of agency ]

Because he named Russia in the attack on Skripal? The timing is certainly ... suspicious.

Not good, except for Tillerson. He probably hated his job.

tl,dr: the incident was engineered in the sense that the method and source were meant to be discovered.

I'm not 100% convinced, since Skrival's son was also likely assassinated some years ago it would appear that he and his family was on Putin's hit list already.
