I don't think the problem is at the State Department.  I think the problem is at the WH.  In most Administrations, the Deputy secretaries and the Assistant Secretaries and Bureau Chiefs are put in place pretty quickly.  I don't think Trump realizes that these people are the people that will ensure that his policies are being carried out.  I've actually been pretty impressed with Tillerson for someone with no foreign policy experience.  I think he is a real asset and it would be a shame if he left because Trump kept his hands tied. 

I think at this point the only thing Sessions can do is resign.  When your boss starts bad mouthing you in public and says your job is not secure, it's probably time to think about doing something else.  Maybe there is still time for him to throw his hat in for his old Senate position. 

I confess, I am beginning to lose confidence in Trump.  I really thought he would jump in and straighten things out, get the government moving again.  Cut down on the bureaucracy.  But I don't see that happening. I thought the very reason for bringing in the smart people was to let them do their thing.  The only one he doesn't seem to be messing with is his Defense Secretary.
