U.S. says Exxon under Tillerson violated Russia sanctions in 2014 http://go.fidelity.com/bnp4u "WASHINGTON/HOUSTON (Reuters) - The United States on Thursday admonished Exxon Mobil Corp for "reckless disregard" of U.S. sanctions in dealings with Russia in 2014 when Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was the global oil company's chief executive, and fined it $2 million. ExxonMobil said the decision was "fundamentally unfair," and sued the U.S. government in Texas in an effort to overturn the decision. The fine came after a U.S. review of deals Exxon signed with top Russian oil producer Rosneft weeks after Washington imposed sanctions on Moscow for annexing Ukraine's Crimea region. |

Great retort, meanwhile the evening news has this as a lead story, or it's just another nail in the coffin of the semi-still born Trump administration.

Speaking of basement dwellers you must be talking about yourself, Alt-Right-Pepe, Little Bobby Stout, KatoBlue, the Inquisitor, ad infinitum. Hope you all have stocked up on enough Kool-Aide to see you through what's left of the Trump Debacle!

CNN Cites Anonymous Sources Who Declare Rex Tillerson is Thinking About Resigning from Secretary of State; http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-07-24/cnn-cites-anonymous-sources-who-declare-rex-tillerson-thinking-about-resigning-secre "Tillerson has a growing list of differences with the White House, including a new debate over Iran policy and personnel. His frustration is hardly a secret and it has spilled out publicly at times. But friends sense a change of late. For weeks, conversations with Tillerson friends outside of Washington have left the impression that he, despite his frustrations, was determined to stay on the job at least through the end of the year. That would allow time to continue efforts to reorganize the State Department and would mean he could claim to have put in a year as America's top diplomat. But two sources who spoke to CNN on condition of anonymity over the weekend said they would not be surprised if there was a "Rexit" from Foggy Bottom sooner that that. Both of these sources are familiar with Tillerson conversations with friends outside Washington. Both said there was a noticeable increase in the secretary's frustration and his doubts that the tug-of-war with the White House would subside anytime soon. They also acknowledged it could have been venting after a tough week, a suggestion several DC-based sources made when asked if they saw evidence Tillerson was looking for an exit strategy." |

Drip, drip, drip, drip.....drip: Tillerson resignation rumors 'false,' State Department says - ABC News - http://abcn.ws/2vGqH1D Tillerson takes time off as State Dept. refuses to say he is happy in his role; http://cnn.it/2tXbF5H "Amid reports Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is frustrated and considering resigning, State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert refused to say Tuesday whether Tillerson is happy in his current role. Tillerson is also taking time off at a time when the US faces multiple foreign policy challenges. Nauert dodged a question about Tillerson's feelings over the White House's involvement in foreign policy decisions." And then there's this: State Department head of diplomatic security resigns http://wapo.st/2tDGOLY?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.890ca936ac64 |
