Stephanie Grisham says group of ex-Trump officials to meet next week to discuss how to 'stop' him
CNN ^ | January 6, 2022 | Veronica Stracqualursi, Betsy Klein and Gabby Orr

Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said Thursday that more than a dozen of her former Trump administration colleagues plan to meet next week to try and stop former President Donald Trump as he continues to "manipulate people and divide our country."

"Next week, a group of former Trump staff are going to come together, administration officials are going to come together and we're going to talk about how we can formally do some things to try and stop him and also, the extremism, that that kind of violence, rhetoric that has been talked about and continues to divide our country," Grisham told CNN's John Berman and Brianna Keilar in an interview on "New Day."

Grisham, who was also chief of staff to former first lady Melania Trump, declined to reveal who will be joining her in the efforts, but said there would be "about 15" of her former colleagues, including some who worked inside the White House. Some of the officials, she said, were junior to her, while others were senior. A few of the officials had "informal chats," did outreach to others, and conducted "some Zooms, some conference calls," culminating in the partially in-person formal meeting next week, according to Grisham.

Several people involved in the effort who spoke to CNN said the group currently includes between 15 to 20 individuals who served in the Trump administration, but have since soured on the former President, and who believe his indisputable control of the Republican Party is negatively impacting the country.

Among those invited to participate in the meeting were former senior officials like Chris Krebs, who had directed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency inside the Department of Homeland Security, and former top White House aides like John Bolton, whom Trump ousted from his role as

If we listened to you the Democrats would have had a permanent majority many years ago - supermajorities - including having far-left control of the SCOTUS for many years now. You have been campaigning for Democrats to be elected since you showed up here...nonstop.

No, I am campaigning to elect real Republicans to replace the fake Republicans that are nothing more than Uniparty tools.

We have now reached the point where the only way forward is to ditch these old legacy Bushies from the GOP, because they will only continue to block the MAGA agenda. It’s no good to keep them in power anymore, they must be expunged from the GOP.

I wonder if they’ll invite “The Wiz-Kid of K-Street”, Paul Ryan...or is Mr. Ryan too busy lobbying for the Deep State?

Did she even see any of the coverage of Biden’s speech today? All he did was attack conservatives and try to divide us even more. I hope some real dirt comes out about this beeyotch to shut her up.

Wasn’t that Reince’s responsibility? Blame him for doing such a crappy job...unless it was on purpose of course.

Nothing strange about it. Republican voters have been hoodwinked multiple times, supporting and voting for open border globalist, who did nothing but loot the American treasure of trillions and open our border to tens of millions.

You people make really bad decisions...

And you excuse all this because Gore might have been worse?

Gezzuz...

Kerry would have been worse, I must say though, I don’t really think Gore would have been much worse at all.

Trump must be unhappy as he contemplates how many of his subordinates were backstabbers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well... he maybe won’t know all the potential backstabbers when he takes office in 2024 but he will at least know quite a few of them.

No traction.

What is traction is firing a person from their livelihood to take a vaccine that could kill or injure you and not guarantee you’ll get covid.

That’s real traction.

But the point is the Republican party has been hoodwinked and conned over and over and over. They got millions of Republicans to back and support open borders, one world order globalist...Not enough, the GD Bush cabal spent multiple trillions on fake “compassionate wars” lasting 10 GD years long...Literally looting the American treasure..

I don’t even think Kerry would have been capable of that kind of destruction.

That was his biggest mistake. Hiring people with prior experience in the government. More people like Ben Carson would have served him better.

They were Swampers all the time. Perhaps Kazakhstan has the right idea.
