CIA Director Mike Pompeo To Replace Tillerson.

Current CIA director Mike Pompeo would reportedly replace Tillerson.

U.S. officials and individuals familiar with White House plans have spoken about the possibility of a broad shakeup in President Donald Trump's national security team. But the timing of such a change is unclear.

Also unclear is whether Pompeo has been approached about the Cabinet reshuffle, but another administration official said he is open to taking the job.

While the report claims President Trump has yet to sign off on the plan, it would not come as a surprise as the two have butted heads throughout the year over the Iran nuclear deal and North Korea.

There have been so many reports in the past year about Tillerson resigning that I am going to wait until it happens. Part of this rumor is Tom Cotton would become head of the CIA. As a solid conservative I am not sure I would not desire for him to stay in the senate.

Even though it was the Slimes breaking the story, it sounds pretty credible. However, he's still there.

Mr. Pompeo would be replaced at the C.I.A. by Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas who has been a key ally of the president on national security matters, according to the White House plan. Mr. Cotton has signaled that he would accept the job if offered, said the officials, who insisted on anonymity to discuss sensitive deliberations before decisions are announced.

It was not immediately clear whether Mr. Trump has given final approval to the plan, but he has been said to have soured on Mr. Tillerson and in general is ready to make a change at the State Department. Mr. Tillerson was at the White House on Thursday morning, although he was not listed on the White House public schedule.

Asked by reporters if he wanted Mr. Tillerson to stay on the job on Thursday, Mr. Trump said only, "He's here. Rex is here."

John F. Kelly, the White House chief of staff, developed the transition plan and has discussed it with other officials. Under his plan, the shake-up of the national security team would happen around the end of the year or shortly afterward. But for all of his public combativeness, Mr. Trump is notoriously reluctant to fire people, and it was not known if Mr. Tillerson had agreed to step down by then. Public disclosure of Mr. Kelly's transition plan may be meant as a signal to the secretary that it is time to go.

Well let see. Lets put another career politican in their that know nothing except how to shake down people for money. The last two worked so well Kerry and Hillary. T Rex lead one of the largest and most successful Corporations in the world and I don't think BIG OIL is a problem and has worldwide experience through a set of business eyes. NOT Political but BUSINESS. Also, he is not a member of the SWAMP and that is the problem. Add to that that he believes JARVANKA is nothing but a punk kid who only claim to fame is nailing TRUMPs daughter and his farther and uncle are convicted felons and T RX does not have to suck up to them to stay on TRUMPs good side. TRUMP choice and look at his appointments and most hate him personally and 100% against his MAGA agenda. T Rex is loyal and for the MAGA but the Generals probably don't like him because he does not dance to orders. He does NOT have to dance to orders in the REAL WORLD he works in and that is something the Generals know nothing about the REAL WORLD other than fighting wars. So lets put another politican in the SOS , maybe even JARVANKA and that has showed to work so well in the last 40-50 years.

Then there's the issue of Tillerson being a solid leftist, in spite of your claim he's not of the swamp.

Tillerson is your quintessential crony capitalist; the types who infest most of the corporate world
and who keep their ear glued to the ground as close as possible to the daily DC fandango.
Their position, derived from political pole dancing, has virtually nothing to do w/any grasp of economics.
Tillerson has absolutely zero in common w/predecessors such Jefferson. Jay, Madison, Monroe, Adams; among others.
As Ko-Ko sang (Mikado); he never will be missed.

The kind of capitalist that signed your checks or wrote you checks if you are or were in your own business. Or possibly paid people who in turn bought your products. What a BASTARD T Rex is. Also, no more member of the SWAMP that your are just not a politician that lives off other people taxes and he earned every dollar he has made and that SOB cannot do that and survive in GOV"T. Lets put another politican in his place and watch what happens???? You are about to find out. Go JARVANKA!!!!!

What you're asserting is completely unclear.
Anyway, agree that Jared and Ivanka should not be in any position of influence.
However Trump is an absolute zero when judging character; as his nominees attest.
Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations" was the economic blueprint for the modern industrial era.
Yet he intuitively understood that capitalism sowed the seeds of self interest and greed;
unless checked by adherence to the moral order of the Natural Law.
Our modern corporatists are largely consumed by this behavior and their performance
in the marketplace is testament to that cold reality.
Tillerson was just another member of that posse.

You do know as the CEO of Exxon, Tillerson advocated a Carbon Tax, was extremely cozy with the Clinton Foundation when they and Exxon partnered up.

You seem to be confusing American business with a global corporate entity that could give a shit about other than their bottom line.
Tillerson is connected to the swamp, be it with Putin, or DC, his being a CEO of a global corporation, places him dead center of DC politics.

Look it up, Putin Gave Tillerson Russia's highest civilian medal for work he did for Russian interests.
Again, it's not my fault you aren't up to date on politics, but again, there's nothing stopping you from starting now.
Go ahead, search Putin awards Tillerson medal, and the other, Clinton, Tillerson ties through the Clinton Foundation, it's out there, you just have to be willing to accept the truth about people you look up to.

Good observation!   Here's the problem, as I see it, and it's always related to the market & debt.
A company wishes to grow, not organically (increased sales) but by a huge influx of CASH.  They sell stock to raise cash, and begin expanding, hoping they will increase sales.   The people/person at the top, who founded the business, knows everything about it from the bottom up - isn't necessary, because now they have a board of directors.   The board of directors, a bunch of buddies and hacks who know *nothing* of the actual business - but, have all the right wall-street & banking connections.  They take the company to new depths of debt (they're expensive, themselves), and convince the company staff, "This is a great idea!!!" 

In comes another company head, the money manipulator, Mr. EBIDA.  Debt just becomes the norm, stock is falsely inflated, and everyone is happy-happy-happy, so long as the stock doesn't tank.  Every small businessman knows, debt is the cancer, eating away at real growth.  In big business, debt is the just the expense-of-doing-business, a welcome write-off, nothing inflation can't fix!  These non-company guys occupy several board-of-directorships across many businesses, and use those associations to leverage more lucrative positions for themselves... they have NO LOYALTY.

I believe Rex Tillerson is one of those guys with ZERO experience in the actual business at the ground level.  In-it-for-himself.

nzone,
Solar is factually correct about Tillerson.
All this back and forth reminds me of a comment made many years ago by Milton Friedman, in an
interview by William Buckley; who asked him the most important position in the corporate hierarchy.
Friedman responded, " Obviously it's their Chief Lobbyist and Law Firm in DC."
