Is this why Tillerson was fired yesterday ?

Tillerson: Ex-spy's poisoning 'clearly came from Russia'
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Monday that the poisoning of an ex-Russian spy in Britain "clearly came from Russia" and "certainly will trigger a response."
Tillerson said in a statement that he doesn't know if the Kremlin was aware of the poisoning, but that the nerve agent used in the attack could not have come from any other country.
He called the attack "a really egregious act" and said it was "almost beyond comprehension" that officials of any government would use the poison in a public location.
"From Ukraine to Syria -- and now the [United Kingdom] -- Russia continues to be an irresponsible force of instability in the world, acting with open disregard for the sovereignty of other states and the life of their citizens," Tillerson said.
Ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter were found to have been poisoned with a nerve agent in Britain last week.

2. Yep, trump didn't like how he talked about his puppet master. Tillerson was ordered to be axed.

3. Very likely.

Remember the rumored resignation suicide pact among Tillerson, McMaster, and Kelly (possibly others)? Now coming to fruition?

5. Yes.

On edit: or so I thought. According to WaPo, Trump asked Tillerson last Friday to step down. Other accounts say Tillerson was blindsided by this. Hard to reconcile both...

edit 2: The WH fired the aide who said Tillerson didn’t know the firing was coming. So we’re back to square one.
