Ric Grenell Will Get It Done
< < Go Back
RUSH: I want to mention a name to you: Ric Grenell, Richard Grenell. He has been named by President Trump to take over the job of Director of National Intelligence. He’s also Trump’s ambassador to Germany. He will remain Trump’s ambassador to Germany while remaining acting Director of National Intelligence. This is the job James Clapper had for Obama. The Director of National Intelligence oversees every intelligence agency from the CIA to the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency), to the National Security Agency, the NSA.
There’s a bunch of them, and the DNI is actually a clearinghouse and collection point for all the intel that is raised. This is why Clapper had a key role with John Brennan, the CIA director, in running the silent coup against President Trump. Now, the acting director that he replaced had to leave because acting directors can only serve for so long. You can’t put an acting director in forever. They have to, at some point, be confirmed. So Grenell will not be there forever.
I don’t know if Trump is gonna try to make him permanent or not, but he does have a limited amount of time to get things done.
