Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell chose not to appear at a congressional briefing on foreign election meddling on Tuesday because he reportedly did not want to discuss issues that make President Donald Trump angry.
Foxhole for one, Mr. Grenell?
Yo Richie self quarantine was the correct get out of Trumpās Dog House card. You blew it.

Lick harder, Richard! Lick harder!
Now get your minds out of the gutter! I was talking about boots!
Really.
This whole āchecks and balancesā thing isnāt working out too wellā¦ That darned U.S. Constitution interferes with all of Donnieās plans! Thanks, Obama.
The arrogance, fear of angering Dear Leader, and contempt for Congress is typical of the Trump regime. How about subpoenaing and then imprisoning him if he doesnāt show up?
He doesnāt want to give up the gamedā¦the fix is already inā¦ hey only need a contingency in case a pandemic of Covad-19 that takes out too many Trump-voting old farts in Florida

So, Iām guessing this acting director will not be submitted for Senate confirmationā¦again.
Iām all for it. Then when they get pissed about the arrests and push to go to court, we can remind them that the courts claim they canāt get in the way of a subpoena fight between legislative and executive branches.
If he really gave that as his answer (I skipped election security meeting because it would make fatass angry), is it in fact the most cowardly thing said on record this century?
The denial by Grennelās spokesperson was parsed pretty carefully.

I know, and they act like somehow they were āhonorableā and the people complaining are the miscreants
āWe did not say we were going to appear at the normal briefing where we are required to report, and then chickened out! We planned on ditching you the whole time, and never bothering to say squat about it!ā
Spokeswoman Maura Beard said in an emailed statement that the office ādid not communicate to Congress at any pointā that Grenell would be there.
WaPo: āGrenellās name had been included in a list of briefers given to Congress on Feb. 27 and again Monday, people familiar with the matter saidā¦ā
Ms. Beard is clearly angling for a promotion from the Virus-In-Chief!
Evil Trumpās all.
Evidently the Director of National Interference is aāskeared of the boss.
āā¦because he reportedly did not want to discuss issues that make President Donald Trump angryā.
I can only sit here and shake my head. How did this all happen?
Thatās exactly what the US needs in a Director of National Intelligence: āSee no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.ā
2016 was a time for purity tests on the Dem side and a failure of Repubs to deal with a bully on the other. Add a heaping help of disinformation by Russians, bots, and Russian bots. Add dash of āboth siderismsā and 30 years of Hillary hate flavoring, and Bobās your uncle.
In the example of the three monkeys they are present, in the example of Grennell he is a scaredy cat who couldnāt bother to show up to defend the indefensible.
