Richard Grenell Trump's new Acting Director of National Ingellegence.

[Pete F.]

White House's next move:

1. Nominate someone like Ratcliffe.

2. Senate will certainly not confirm.

3. Grenell remains in place under Vacancies Reform Act rather than leave by March 11 while the nomination of his successor lingers for months.

And then they have successfully eliminated Congressional oversight.

All baby steps to eliminating Article 1 and Article 3 powers, such unimportant little things.

Yes, he's gay, anyone that remotely follows NATSEC knows this. The Germans don't like him because he (like his predecessors in Ambass, SECDEF, and Pres) tells them to meet their defense spending obligations, which the Germans are sorely missing.

He also tells them not to cozy up to Russian Natural Gas, Nordstream 2, Huwaei 5G and the like.

That said, he should be Ambassador to DEU or DNI, not both.

(Ohh, and experience? Leon Panetta was a First Lieutenant before becoming DIRCIA so surely I agree, Leon was more qualified at the Dir level )
