Incoming Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, who previously served as the U.S. Ambassador to Germany, has been given a mandate in his new position: clean house.

To get the job done, Grenell is hiring staff with a history of finding abuse, specifically with the FISA court, inside the intelligence community.

CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge has the story.

It’s a big job.
The intelligence community was thoroughly corrupted by John Brennan.

The FBI has turned into the Democrats Crime Machine.

Remember after the hurricane in Puerto Rico, we were told that there were warehouses full of food and supplies being hidden by the Democratic Governor and Mayor of San Juan?

Then we were told, “Don’t worry, the FBI is going to investigate.” Then, NOTHING.

Then two full years later, a lone guy with a cellphone finds a huge warehouse full of rotting supplies that were hidden so that they could blame Trump.

Not news though. The FBI couldn’t even find a 50,000 Square Foot Warehouse!!!

Then there’s the Clintons and their crimes, Loretta Lynch, Holder’s gun running... crimes galore on the Democrat’s side, but not a single arrest.

If a Republican parks in a no-parking zone, the FBI and CNN show up at his front door and drag him out in handcuffs in front of the cameras.

Then there’s the murder of Seth Rich and the fact that Strzok and Page were somehow involved.

Hope he has some vetted white hat protection. I’m sure the patience of the deep staters is growing thin.

Be easier and more effective to simply locate the very, very small number of honest people and fire the vast majority of the organization.

Considering they just fed the NYT and CNN the BS story the Russians are helping Trump it’s fair to say there is a lot of work to do.

There’s going to be a lot of squealing pigs like Comey, Brennan, Rosenstein, Warner, etc. It’s going to get interesting, hopefully. A bit late.

If we asked former Chief of Staff John Kelly what the Pentagon plans are for a bio-attack (very similar to a pandemic) he would draw a blank.

If we asked him the right way to talk to a trans or gay couple he would know.

That’s how our ‘defenders’ protect the nation: they protect the exulted feelings of white liberal elites in DC and their pet funding sources in the middle east and China.

Oh, and that scum John Brennan and the other lowlife ‘elites’ in intelligence. They gotta do better than leaking to the Washington Post. Someone needs to call these phonies on the carpet.

Clean up ‘intelligence’? Yeah, right. How about ‘clean out’ the scum... they don’t protect us. If they did we wouldn’t be in this mess with China, the middle east, our borders would be secure and plans would be being put in place for a potential pandemic.

This isn’t 1947 - we have computers. We know the worse our enemies can do to our country and we need to spend our ‘intelligence’ money protecting ourselves against those threats. (No I’m not talking about ‘slights to elite’ feelings) I mean plans for how our citizens survive attacks... nuclear, bio and cyber etc. Then use the money we save by downsizing ‘intelligence by 80% to PAY FOR THE SOLUTIONS.

I have been so damn pissed about the Puerto Rico mess since it happened; we (FEMA workers) all knew about it and no one gave a damn. I PRAY that those responsible are hung on a short-drop rope and left for the world to see as they rot.

STEP ONE: Comply with all FOIA requests immediately!!!

Between Tom Fitton and Jay Sekulow, there must be thousands pending. They are both willing to do the grunt work, just get them the information.

Three years ago PDJT was a political neophyte and had ZERO experience in dealing with corruption in this level. Needless to say, he is a fast learner.

No, don’t fire them. They would then to walk free and do more damage. They need to me locked up in Super Max, 23 hours a day in solitary and no communications with the outside world.

In just a couple of week? Pretty ambitious mandate.
