O god! hahahahahahahahaha That would be tantamount to giving that position to Roger Stone if he wasn’t headed to prison.

The optics for either Jared or Vlad was bad, so Grenell it was.

Everywhere I read today people are commenting on how incompetent this guy is and how he will eviserate and damage our intelligence gathering abilities
And probably more importantly our ability to keep secrets.
Who will benefit from that disarray? Can you say “PUTIN“?
How come nobody in our media is pointing to this fact? Heaven knows if Obama did something like this Faux would be 24/7 saying “Some people are saying this could be treason”

“It’s difficult to contemplate managing 17 different organizations without having any experience with the intelligence process overall,” 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.”
One thing is for sure–every day is going to be an adventure.

This guy is going to be like Barr has been at Justice, except without any credentials. I am so relieved to know this.

As a citizen of Germany I can say with some authority that our gain is your loss… That person has inflicted more damage to German-American relations than any previous diplomat. Considering that the first ambassador was John Quincy Adams, we’ve come down quite a long way.
BTW, he’ll still be ambassador to Germany, apparently managing that little job on the side and presumably from Washington. Tells you how much the president values German-American relations… Appointing Grenell to the job was insulting enough. Telling us that this job can be done part time? Don’t get me started.

I briefly read the headline as: Why Richard Grenell Is Such A ‘Dangerous’ PRICK For Acting DNI
I think it might actually be the better headline.

Though it wouldn’t matter (Trump can decide who can get a security clearance), I’m looking forward to hearing about how he failed those requirements.

Maybe he will just do part of the damage from now on?
Where’s Melania?

The only qualification that matters is Grenell’s canine loyalty to Trump. Eventually everyone in the administration will be this loyal.

And speaking of the DNI, I still want to know why my ex-Senator and his second got the hell out of Dodge. That has never been explained.

It was the Ukraine call and the Whistleblower.
So Maguire was apparently kicked out last week when donnie was told that the DNI’s election security head gave a report to Adam Schiff alone. In reality, the report was given to the entire bi-partisan committee on election security (I could have the committee name wrong, it might just be Intel).
So basically, donnie fired him on a vague rumor.
OY.

We know. He has problems but the biggest ones are with strong women in positions of power and they don’t come much stronger or more powerful than Angela Merkel.
We’re sorry - he is a vengeful 4 year old not a real President.

Chained to her bed 23 hours a day.
It’s been clear that that’s how the WH has been run for a while. All it would take to upend the West Wing would be one guy with the ear of the President venting his spleen in a private meeting in the Oval Office.
“You know Sheila, in the communications office? She told me you look fat. And her boss Stephanie has a Buttigieg bobblehead in her desk. Frank down in the Congressional Liaison office goes drinking with Sen. Sanders’ Chief of Staff. And…”
