Maddow sounds the alarm on State Department deputy being fired to cover up a Trump White House lie

[UCmeNdc]

Soon after the president announced via tweet the secretary of state’s firing, the White House said Tillerson had known since Friday that he was soon to be removed.

Following the White House’s comments, however, the State Department made its own statement. Steve Goldstein, the department’s fourth-highest-ranking official and a spokesman for its secretary, said Tillerson had no prior knowledge of his termination. He was fired, as Maddow noted, the same day as he made his comments.

1. Andrea Mitchell was on last night and reported he was fired in part because of his Russia comments.

2. Also for the fucking moron quip

That must have been eating away at the orange anus ever since he first heard it.
He wanted to humiliate Tillerson.

3. I hope Rachel pulls at this thread a little more.

The criminal enterprise seemed to be trying to damp this down pretty quickly.

Again, Rachel demonstrates that timing is everything.
