Massive Implications – President Trump Considering “Appointing” Ric Grenell For ODNI Position…

UPDATE: Appointment Confirmed

Lots to unpack here. Maggie Haberman is warning resistance allies in the Senate to prepare all defensive weapons against a possible Trump appointment of Ric Grenell as Director of the Office of National Intelligence (ODNI).

Grenell currently serves as the U.S. Ambassador to Germany. He can serve as “acting” ODNI, but to become permanent ODNI he would need to survive confirmation railroading by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), Chairman Richard Burr and Vice Chair Mark Warner. The SSCI is deep swamp and and participated in the coup effort against the office of the president. The SSCI has a vested interest in controlling the ODNI position; hence their prior blocking of Representative John Ratcliffe.

this tells you all you need to know:

Samantha Power @SamanthaJPower One by one, day by day, @realDonaldTrump is taking steps to destroy America’s fact-based institutions, at the same time he eviscerates rule of law. Appointing as @ODNIgov

@RichardGrenell , who has politicized every issue he has touched & has contempt for facts, would be a travesty

cnn was going nuts over him. They seem to think he is the worst human being ever on the planet.

So that must mean he is the right man for the job.

Sounds like a good choice. Openly gay I read, big deal. What he does on his own time don’t bother me. The fact that it tweaks the libs is a plus.

Grinnell is openly gay. It doesn’t bother me or most FReepers. The Dems should love him in this important position. Oh, what? That’s right, Grinnell is a conservative Republican. Disqualified.

The President’s first order to Grenell should be “Close down this organization.” I remember when it was created and was skeptical about that move, it has become a hindrance rather than a help.

LOL. Power’s tweet is a fact free smear of Grenell.

I did not know Lankford had quit the corrupt and Democrat controlled SSCI. I would think that type of move is very unusual mid term.

Assignment for deep state members:

Write a 9 page essay on how you joined the deep state, your initial motives for doing so and what it now feels like to know the deep state is going down in flames. 2 of those pages should be devoted to an analysis of why you think this low IQ idea was worth the price you paid.

In your conclusion, expand on possible options for getting out of the deep state while you still can, and be sure to mention the 5 highest ranking members against whom you could turn state’s evidence.

Really? He’s been a prominent supporter of POTUS since the campaign. A real Trumpian brawler.

Grenell has done a great job of pointing out to the Germans that they’re a bunch of virtue signaling, hypocritical, greedy, free loaders.

Bringing him home to help drain the Swamp seems like a good move - particularly if it bothers the corrupt leftist swamp creatures.

I know. Trump is purposely daring them to oppose Grinell In order to be able to charge them with homophobia. It is also a cabinet position, and Trump may want to do you have something, if only that, to defend himself against chargers of lack of attention to LGBT issues. Nobody remembers that the man was appointed to ambassador to Germany. But this is A much more public and prominent position. One question for everyone here: how long can an “acting” director act?
