So it's notable that the House Intelligence Committee's GOP report just took another credibility hit, this time from within the party's ranks. A key Republican sided with the CIA on Tuesday about Russia's intentions for Trump. In a statement, Rep. Trey Gowdy (S.C.) said it was “clear based on the evidence” that Russia wanted Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton to lose. Russia wanting Clinton to lose is the same thing as wanting Trump to win, a Gowdy aide clarified.
House Democrats Cite ‘Evidence’ of Trump-Russia Collusion
Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee are sharply disagreeing with Republicans on the panel who say they don’t see any evidence of collusion or coordination between President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia.
California Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the panel, said Tuesday that he believes there is “significant evidence” of collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia, though he couldn’t say if there was criminal wrongdoing.

When Tillerson was first announced as SOS my first thought was "OH great, another trump lackey" However, I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by his actions. And he was fired for that exact reason. He wasn't just another trump mouth piece. He took his job seriously, likely knowing he would be fired eventually. He was respected in this country, and likely around the world.
