Hedda - it's so easy to give 'frank and fearless reports' - when you expect those reports to be classified!
Put simply, the system betrayed him - after criticising the most powerful human on earth.
A blond loudmouthed chap - who the UK will need to be very friendly with after the inevitable no-deal Brexit.
Whitehall/Westminster read the tea leaves - as Boris.
No time to make such comments - later leaked - so he had to go, and was instructed to resign.

Dissing POTUS, as a Washington diplomat, is an exit route - when caught!
Leak. Probably.
Resignation. Unlikely.
well he's resigned even though he was retiring this year because Boris the Boofhead wouldn't support him apparently and I'm sure the diplomatic corp worldwide are alarmed.
He gave frank and fearless reports which is his job.
Whoever leaked the reports should be hung & quartered as it was clearly for cheap political gain that will cause endless problems.
And now the ghastly Farage says any civil servant who is not a Brexiter should be driven out of office.
Which would mirror laws the Nazis put in place in the late 30s in Germany.
I've now come to the view that it is probably China and Russia's time to "shine" as that seems to be the end game
The old orders are reversing rapidly. England will be screwed because of Brexit and the USA is doomed under Trump.
A good time to be old (and look years younger)

Now certainly!
Ongoing investigation delaying appointment of successor.
And more leaks expected - which may be significant, at this critical time.
To Brexit and the imminent election of the Tory leader...

I was speaking to a friend last night discussing all rich and famous we supplied alcohol to. He said one of his branches supplied alcohol to the Plaza Hotel. He got paid handsomely. Then the taxman took a nice chunk out of it - the IRS are bastards.
