Are you aware that Grenell reorganized the DNI?

Grenell tweeted his response: Imagine being in a position and then not doing your job.

The only reason the committee and the senate approved him so quickly was because they wanted Grenell out asap. He made them nervous, especially with his eagerness to declassify and publish.
