Wither goest Grenell?

Now that the Senate has confirmed John Ratcliffe as the new director of National intelligence,  acting DNI Richard Grenell  is vacating  the position.   Apparently he does not wish to continue in his other role as U.S. Ambassador to Germany.   He had already completely reorganized that ambassadorial spot and saved us millions of dollars in the process,  so  I suspect he considered that job done.   As acting DNI he has made the Democrats look like the lying,  corrupt,  hypocrites they have long been.  His swift and elegant put-downs of the odious Adam Schiff have provided me with great entertainment during his tenure.

I sincerely hope Pres. Trump will put him in  another position  of authority where he can cause much-needed change.   God know every agency of the federal government would profit from his leadership,  but I personally vote for the FBI.

 

 

 

 

Release the Kraken!

In September of 2018,  the Intelligence Committee voted unanimously to  release the transcripts  of 53 interviews.  They first had to be checked for classified information by the Intelligence Community.   We now know that 43 of the transcripts have been ready since June,  but Adam Schiff refused to release them.   Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell has kindly sent Rep.  Schiff a letter notifying him that all 53 are ready and that if necessary,  he will release them from his own office.

Schiff has been  claiming forever  that he had direct evidence of Trump’s guilt,  which he has,  oddly enough,  never produced.   Could that be because he had nothing?   Could it be that  he lied  through his pearly whites?   I’m betting he will try desperately to come up with another excuse to stall.   One plot might be to try and start an argument about whether the DNI has the authority to release the transcripts,  but that would just allow more focus on Schiff’s  refusal to release them after a unanimous vote to do so.  I would never want to be Adam Schiff.  I especially would not want to be him right now,  when his corrupt house of cards  is encountering  gale force winds.
