Freshly deposed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson gave
some hints at his farewell news conference that he may not recede from public
view just yet. Addressing the challenges
ahead, Tillerson noted, "It's in times of transition like this when you
reconnect with old friends, or maybe even make new friends. For example, I hear this Bob Mueller is a
really nice fellow. Any of you have his
number? Seriously, anyone?" When the businessman-turned-statesman was
asked what was the most important thing he's learned during his time in
Washington, he responded cryptically, "Always get your immunity deal in
writing." His biggest regret: "I never figured out why they call it
Foggy Bottom." In closing,
Tillerson thanked the diplomatic corps present, and asked again,
"Seriously, does anyone know Mueller's number?" before being pulled
from the podium.
