Flynn is a sideshow, what's Tillerson doing?

Either believe what you are being told, do your own research to disprove the allegation, or shut up about it...

I don't really care what you choose.

Oh, wait. I forgot. Let's see some proof Trump is getting a cut. Oh, and that he's going to remove all sanctions.
 
This comes across as some first rate conspiracy theory crap. Unfortunately, it also comes across as completely plausible to me.

It might be CT but even it is Exxon and Tillerson can and most likely will make millions in oil deals with Russia.

From the following:

Exxon Mobil has various projects afoot in Russia that are allowed under American sanctions. But others have been ground to a halt by the sanctions, including a deal with the Russian state oil company to explore and pump in Siberia that could be worth tens of billions of dollars.

Russian officials have optimistically called the agreement a $500 billion deal.

As for Mr. Tillerson personally,
he was scheduled to retire next year from Exxon Mobil. According to company filings this year, Mr. Tillerson owned $218 million in company stock, and his pension plan was worth nearly $70 million.

Russia was already a focus of concern after the Central Intelligence Agency said the Kremlin had intervened in the American presidential election to help Mr. Trump’s candidacy. Now Mr. Tillerson’s career is igniting a debate over the blending of business and politics — and whether that could tip the scales in Russia’s favor on major policy decisions like the sanctions.

Now to be fair Tillerson was to sell off his Exon stocks if confirmed as Sec. but how many share of Exxon stock does President Trump and his family own...that is the million/billion $ question.

Under the agreement developed in consultation with federal ethics regulators, if Tillerson is confirmed as secretary of state, the value of more than 2 million deferred ExxonMobil shares that he would have received over the next 10 years would be transferred to an independently managed trust and the ExxonMobil share awards would be cancelled.
