Pence even threw him a 'welcome home' party with Prince came back to the US to testify before Congress regarding the Nisour Square massacre.

I'm not so sure.<br /><br />I'd be surprised if Tillerson goes (I was just trying to figure out some past context and how Exxon fits into things), but I guess we'll see how it plays out. One thing's for sure, it will be bad no matter what. Sigh.AWnoreply@blogger.com
