*snicker* It's hard to find out if it was before Tillerson criticized Russia or after.
As an aside, the new deputy director of the CIA, Gina Haspel, oversaw the torture of people and later took part in destroying video evidence of the torture.
The Secretary of State fired by Tweet.
It would be nice to have a woman in charge of the CIA for the first time, if she's the best qualified.
I think Haspel will probably have a harder time getting senate confirmation due that torture scandal than will Pompeo.
