President Trump’s decision to name Richard Grenell to lead the country’s intelligence community raises a staggering array of questions, ranging from the staunch Trump loyalist’s preparedness for the job to his oversight of whistleblowers past and future.
And, according to Parnas, he’s a Russian asset. So Putin is in our intelligence apparatus.
Jeffrey Edmonds, a former director for Russia on the National Security Council and a former CIA intelligence analyst, told TPM. “I just think it’s quite dangerous in the sense that the right information might not get to the right people.”
I think the bigger danger is certain information getting to the wrong people. Funneled to them for the express purpose of weaponizing it to harm other people.
Grenell has no qualifications other than being a lackey of King Donald.
Only Vladdy’s best people.
I already thought so, so I guess this just highlights it for me.
I’ve thought so since I found out in October of 2016 that Russia hacked the DNC (although Assange is now claiming it wasn’t Russia.)
I can only thank goodness that Jared Kushner never set up that back channel to the Kremlin. Now they have to use their cell phones.
Hell he should have just cut to the chase and appointed Bannon or Richard Spencer.
What makes you think he didn’t? How do you think Trump got approval from Putin for this appointment of Grenell?
Germans reached their fill of this clown a year ago. Grenell was installed about a month after Tillerson was canned. The gutting of State had been underway for just over a year. Putin must have gotten a kick from this guy’s installment, as Putin, you will recall, was station head for the KGB in East Germany back in the 1980s.
“Grenell is a complete diplomatic failure. [He] damages trans-Atlantic relations with his repeated clumsy provocations,” Carsten Schneider, a lawmaker with the Social Democrats (SPD), told the German news agency DPA.
Just Trump showing his middle finger to anybody who’ll watch.
.
Yeah I know, I thought of that after I posted.
Grenell is the sort of jackass who gives gay people a bad name.
Thus giving life to the lie that gays were responsible for Nazi Germany…
Assange may claim that, but only because former Rethug Rep. Dana Rohrabacher has been dangling a presidential pardon in front of ole’ Julian.
This is just NOT f_ckin’ funny anymore. It never was, folks.
I understand he was going to be the next spokesman for Flex Seal but the DNI gig came along.
Why Richard Grenell Is Such A ‘Dangerous’ Pick For Acting DNI
Maybe because he is an outright Nazi that will rather collaborate with the Russians than with his own countryman if he considers them “libruls”?
I still predict that if his numbers tank before the Nov. 2020 election (almost a certainty) that Trump, in a desperation move to bump up his numbers with “the base” will withdraw the US from NATO.
Also, it will be a final “gift” to Putin for all his support.
Wonder why he named Grenell.
Was Jared’s plate full?
