Running a business

if you fire the project manager for not living up to your expectations and the assistant PM goes off the reservation, you fire him too

I love that the left is reduced to criticizing trump for firing the Under Secretary of State.

Yet when Holder and Clinton "resigned" it was an event the left cherished as jobs well done. Go figure.

Doing this signifies their bases are covered and they have the documentation/corroboration to show that Tillerson was indeed notified on Friday

No ma'am..... Tillerson was told Friday. This little girl was out of the loop because it did not involve her.

What basis do you have to determine when he was fired?

So then,

Tillerson was fired Friday
trump tweets about it today
Under secretary claims Tillerson never knew anything about it
under secretary passes info to reporters
contradicts what actually happened

That right?

Pretty crazy, we'll see if the WH says again that they told Tillerson he was fired on Friday.

Notified he was being replaced. Fired yes, but on until replacement could be named.
