Grenell already paying off...

"Sending shockwaves through the intelligence community, it was reported yesterday that newly appointed Acting DNI Richard “Ric” Grenell asked the intelligence community, specifically including Shelby Pierson, to produce the underlying intelligence within the briefing she gave to the House Intelligence Committee.

Well, what do you know…. All of a sudden today, anonymous intelligence officials are reporting to CNN that Ms. Pierson “overstepped” her position, was “misleading” in her briefing, and “mischaracterized” the underlying intelligence. Imagine that."

@Mott-The-Hoople
Expert opinion has already ascertained that Grenell is not remotely qualified for the position.
But that’s ok, because the Donald is smarter than everyone in the department. 😛

@Mott-The-Hoople
Well what do you know. He makes the conclusion Trump wanted him to make considering how many decades he has with intel.

As soon as he gets appointed, a story leaks about a classified briefing given Bernie Sanders a month ago:

"Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign has responded to recent reports about Russia attempting to aid the Vermont senator in 2020 by suggesting the claim was leaked as part of a conspiracy against him concocted by Team Trump—specifically pointing the finger at President Trump’s new acting director of national intelligence, Richard Grenell.

In a Friday campaign email titled “Facts to Remember on Russian Interference Briefing,” Mike Casca—the campaign’s communications director—lays out an argument questioning the timing of the Moscow meddling report.

The email first skeptically notes that the briefing given to Sanders’ campaign warning of Russian meddling was “classified,” before pointing to Sanders’ past warnings that “Trump would use the federal government to help his reelection.” (Sanders himself confirmed to reporters Friday that his campaign had been informed of Moscow’s attempted interference about a month ago, but he said it was not clear how exactly the country was trying to help him.)

Casca then appears to suggest that it’s no coincidence reports about Russia seeking to boost Sanders came out immediately after Trump tapped Richard Grenell to serve as his new acting intel chief.

Citing a 2018 speech by Sanders, the email notes that Sanders had “called out” Grenell for exposing the Trump “administration’s support for right-wing extremist parties across Europe” while warning about the rise of authoritarianism."

Grenell's a hack and " anonymous intelligence officials: are probably him and/or Nunes' cronies.

Unlike Grenell, Pierson has "more than 20 years of intelligence experience." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_Pierson

So right wingers loved Pierson, until she had the temerity to tell the truth.

@mott-the-hoople said
she kind of blew it when she made a claim that she couldnt back up. Grenell asked her to provide the intelligence that supported her claim and she backed off.

You seem very tore up about this 😂

This is only thd beginning...Trump is going after the obama holdovers that is undermining his administration.

Another completely unqualified political hack promoted to a position that he has no experience that would make him an appropriate choice for. He's basically just a lawyer who happens to be a big Trump booster (now- he previously worked in Romney's, Scott Walker's and Ted Cruz's Presidential campaigns). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_C._O%27Brien_(attorney)
