The Trump Administration's ill-conceived, unlawful, and counterproductive Muslim ban executive order raises new concerns about the nominations of Jeff Sessions for Attorney General and Rex Tillerson for Secretary of State. According to the Post story, Sessions, one of Trump's earliest supporters in Washington, helped craft Trump's first-week strategy "although Sessions had advocated going even faster." But Tillerson has developed close ties with Putin, and in 2012, Russia awarded Tillerson one of its highest honors, the Order of Friendship decoration. Like Trump, Tillerson has refused to be accountable about his actions. Tillerson, like Sessions, may be a good fit for Trump.
