Trump is expected to name Richard Grenell, the American ambassador to Germany, to be the acting director of national intelligence, NYT reports.

The move would place a Trump loyalist atop the intel agencies long viewed skeptically by the White House. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/19/us/politics/dni-national-intelligence-director-grenell.html …

Grenell’s Senate confirmation fight for his current job got pretty ugly, with Dems objecting to his nomination over past comments about women. Naming Grenell as *acting* DNI means no Senate confirmation fight for a permanent role.

NEW: People who’ve known Bill Barr for years (and in some cases decades) pour cold water on reports that he considered resigning. They say he won’t quit anytime soon because he’s too busy using ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ to get the power he‘s always wanted. https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/william-barr-trump-resign-roger-stone-fascist-classmates-a9345386.html …

Donald hires man who doesn't have experience in the field of his new job. What could go wrong?

We're officially a banana republic brehs.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

So they replaced one emergency meeting with another? Or the 1st one wasn't really an emergency at all?

New: Trump’s allies are urging him to push for a purge at DOJ of anyone involved with the Russia probe. The MAGA punditry’s outsized influence over the president means their campaign against the so-called Mueller “holdovers” is not falling on deaf ears Trump allies target Mueller team, one by one …

Grenell is...still going to be ambassador to Germany while serving as acting DNI. He’s also Trump’s special envoy to Kosovo and Serbia as @nahaltoosi notes. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/19/us/politics/dni-national-intelligence-director-grenell.html …

@nedprice
PSA re the @RichardGrenell tweets in which he: dismisses Russian interference, defends torture, calls for Guantanamo to be filled with MORE detainees, and makes horribly misogynist remarks...

...They've all been deleted. Just like he'll do for Trump, he's made them all go away.

Is there a max time frame someone can be an "acting" role? Or can these people just stay in that title for as long as Trump is President?
