Tillerson Scrubbed From State Dept Website

[edpc]

The "Secretary of State Tillerson" link at the top of the department's homepage (www.state.gov ) disappeared overnight Saturday and was replaced with a generic "Secretary of State" tab. When clicked, it leads to a page that informs visitors in a brief statement that Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan "became acting Secretary of State on April 1, 2018." It shows a photo of Sullivan signing his appointment papers as deputy in June 2017 but offers no explanation for the change in leadership.

In addition to that change, links that had connected to Tillerson's speeches, travels and other events now display those of Sullivan. The link to Tillerson's biography as the 69th secretary of state returns a "We're sorry, that page can't be found" message.

Well, of course.  Tillerson is no longer SOS. 

I worked at a law firm where the attorneys knew they were being discharged when they came back from lunch -- while they were out, their belongings had been packed up and a painter was removing their name from their office door.
