Tillerson's ouster has been in the works for some time. The fact that on his plane ride back to Washington, D.C. he chose to lend his voice to Theresa May's bombastic theatrics with regards to the Skripal poisoning ("Ex-spy Skripal poisoning 'clearly came from Russia' & 'will trigger response' – Tillerson") is proof that he didn't follow orders from the White House (because the White House has danced around the Skripal episode).
Trump is on the verge of putting Russiagate and the Mueller probe behind him. The last thing he wants is another manufactured Russia crisis.
The #NeverTrumpers are on the verge of getting buried and need something big quickly -- any old Russia crisis will do -- because they are losing control of the narrative. The problem here for the rest of us is the Doomsday Clock is already only two minutes to midnight. Ginning up crises with Russia is going to usher in midnight.
