It could be. Trump may be planning to use the bogus House Intelligence Committee's report as a reason to get rid of Sessions and Mueller. We might be on the verge of a purge of Trump's team and replacement with people who will do his bidding more reliably.
It may be that Tillerson's firing is just the beginning for a week of turmoil.

Trump is a coward. And an idiot.
