Tillerson won?t fight Russian election meddling
The Kremlin reportedly wanted a more accommodating secretary of state than Mitt Romney.
The question is whether these two stories are connected. In other words, was Tillerson Russia?s preferred secretary of state? And if so, are the Russians in fact getting just what they wanted? And, therefore, should Special Counsel Robert Muller be looking into how Tillerson came to be nominated?
Significantly, few of the recent stories have pointed out that Tillerson has a two decade-long relationship with Russia and Putin. Indeed, at the time Trump nominated Tillerson, former CEO of ExxonMobil, he had been the director of the U.S.-Russian oil firm Neftgas since 1998.

The funny thing is that story was published just last week... LOL!
Confirmation bias is when people use any new piece of data to confirm their existing beliefs. That is exactly what is happening here.
