characteristics about rex tillerson that donald trump views at positives are things that have john mccain concerned. he said he wants answers about the connection to the russian government. i have concerned over his reports of relationships with vladimir putin who is a thug and a murderer. we will have hearings on that issue and other issues concerning him. that is the time to make up your mind. what kind of questions would you ask rex tillerson? his view of vladimir putin, his role in the world, and the leader of the opposition was murdered on the orders, i believe, of vladimir putin and the shadow of the kremlin. the deal that he did in 2011 is estimated to be worth half of a trillion dollars. so you know these are enormously large deals. a reflection of that that was putin in 2012 awarded him the order of friendship, one of the highest civilian honors in russia. tillerson has also spoken out against sanctions in russia and that may be essential in understanding his te ....
