Putin? Rex Tillerson of ExxonMobil Expected to Be Named Trump's Secretary of State: Sources

He will also be paired with former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton as his deputy secretary of state, one of the sources added, with Bolton handling day-to-day management of the department.

The sources cautioned that nothing is final until the president-elect officially announces it, which could happen as early as next week.

The news of the Tillerson pick comes less than a day after reports that the CIA concluded that Russian hackers did intervene in the U.S. presidential election to help Trump win over rival Hillary Clinton.

Rex Tillerson has ties to Russia and Putin

Dec 2016

Sometime back,Mr.Obama closed some areas of the Arctic to drilling,and Exxon shut down their Rigs. That was Thanksgiving week last year,happened to be in Alaska visiting a sick Relative. Returned on Sunday the 27th,on our flight back to Denver were 150 just laid off Exxon workers. Some 400 hundred were laid off at Mid Day and given a one way ticket home and to catch their flight by Midnight that day. Sat next to one of the Drill Platform Pushers(Rig Boss),they shut everything down because of tensions between the US and Russia as to Territorial rights.

Irony was,the Russians had Exxon Drilling a few miles away. Like Trump once said,it's our Oil.
