Huntsman resigns as Ambassador to Russia after Trump confers with ...

More collusion?

Probably.

Trump is still being dragged kicking and screaming away from Putin and he just doesn’t want to go.

Jon Huntsman may run for Governor of Utah again. More than likely he got canned by Vlad.

Maybe that East Texas Piney Woods goober who Trump had to walk back as DNI is still available. He’d gleefully service both Trump and Putin. We’ve already seen how delighted he is to give Trump TUHA!

US Ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman resigns

Washington (CNN) — US Ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman has submitted his resignation letter to President Donald Trump and plans to move back home to Utah, according to a source familiar with his thinking.

Huntsman's resignation is effective October 3 and there is some speculation that he is planning to run for governor of Utah, a role he previous served in from 2005 to 2009. However, a source close to Huntsman told CNN that decision is still up in the air, saying: "We shall see, it's been a long two years."

The decision comes as the Trump administration is also dealing with the departure of Fiona Hill, the top official on Russian affairs at the National Security Council.

Trump and Putin discussed need for new ambassador during phone call
Hill is expected to leave her post this month meaning the administration will have to replace two of its top Russia hands at the same time.

The Salt Lake Tribune was first to report Huntsman's resignation.
Huntsman's successor, whoever it may be, will face the difficult task of fulfilling Trump's goal of improving ties with Russia at a time of heightened tensions between the two countries over issues including Moscow's annexation of Crimea, election interference and the attempted poisoning of an alleged Russian spy in Britain.

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have voiced concerns about Trump's reluctance to impose sanctions on Russia and continued attempts to cast doubt on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election amid his efforts to improve relations between Washington and Moscow.

Trump and Putin discussed need for a new ambassador

CNN previously reported that Trump and Putin discussed the need for a new US ambassador in Russia during a phone call last week. The two men did not mention any names of potential replacements for Huntsman, two officials said.
Huntsman and his wife have been having dinners over the last few months with fellow diplomats and others as they prepare to leave the country, according to an embassy source.

Huntsman's wife, Mary Kaye, has posted some of their recent events -- such as a Friday night pool competition with the embassy's marine guard members last month and a walk along the Moscow river -- on Instagram.

Huntsman, who has served in the post since 2017, was directly involved in the case of Paul Whelan, an American corporate security director who was mysteriously detained by Russian authorities on suspicion of spying.

In January, Huntsman visited Whelan personally -- an atypical move for an ambassador, CNN analyst John Kirby said -- when Whelan was arrested in a possible retaliation move 15 days after alleged Russian spy Maria Butina pleaded guilty in US federal court to trying to infiltrate political circles and influence US relations with Russia.

Huntsman revealed in November that he had stage one melanoma -- a diagnosis that he did not share with anyone in Moscow out of concern over how the information would be received. Huntsman, a former Utah governor and 2012 presidential candidate, previously served as ambassador to China in 2009.
Frustrations about the administration's inaction and its soft-handed approach to Russia came to a head in mid-February, with a bipartisan group of senators introducing a massive bill aimed at countering Russian malfeasance.

Last week, Trump imposed long-overdue, legally mandated sanctions on Russia for its poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, yet questions about the administration's willingness to confront Moscow continue to linger.

Another 5-star spunktacular YR...you just out do yourself.
Is your arm long enough to pat yourself on the back??
As long as these threads keep you excited...it will save your SO.
CNN source...thank you thug supporting poster.

is this another conspiracy thread?? down vote!

Another Hillary lost butt hurt thread.

Huntsman has had many other jobs in different administrations. He was Ambassador to China under Bush. He left to run for President. Reports say he’s going to run for Governor of Utah.

Horseshit!

You fellas want to make this about about everything other than the fragile egos of the leaders for and with whom the US Ambassador to.Russia has to work.

Huntsman is a respected diplomat with decades of service under a number of presidents.

Trump and Putin wanted him out. So he’s out.

Don’t think this was about the race for Utah Governor. He may or may not run for that office again. But there is no way he left without encouragement.

You don’t know this as fact. You’re speculating as usual. Huntsman is apart of the political class. He moves around. Your link also stated that Huntsman recently revealed he has stage 1 melanoma. The Huntsman’s own and operated one of the leading cancer hospitals in the world in Utah.

This convo happened. And while they were on the phone about Siberian wildfires, this happened too.

You’re losing it. What does that link have to do with Huntsman or Trump? Is Trump now colluding with Twitter???????? LMAO.

From Wikipedia:

n October 2018, Huntsman was diagnosed with stage-1 melanoma and is seeking treatment at the Huntsman Cancer Institute.[1

Yeah think he might want to get healthy?

That was under Obama (2009-2011), not Bush.

Huntsman also worked for Reagan.

But to the point, the link I posted was ALL about that conversation between Trump and his master.

He offered to help with Siberia, Putin asked him to help him with Twitter and ...

Unless you’re trying to say they talked more than once that day.

It’s possible that Trump was telling Putin that Huntsman was sick and needed time off to get healthy. NAAAAAHHHHH! The compassionate leaders of these countries? naaaaaah!

Horseshit!

You're completely nuts. All eaten up with Russian conspiracy bullshit. You have no evidence he was FORCED out. If anything like that happened, Huntsman would say so. Trump and Putin had a brief phone convo AFTER it was known Huntsman was leaving and it was mentioned that a new Ambassador would have to be found. So what? What's your fucking point? Other than to make wild insinuations that would make Wretching Madcow blush??

Oh darn. He was also Ambassador to Singapore. The bottomline line, YR can’t defend his own threads. Because they’re indefensible.
