GRENELL: Biden CIA Nominee Bill Burns Had My Support Until Troubling Revelations of His Connections with China Surfaced
ACLJ ^ | Feb12,2021 | Rick GrenellFeb 12, 2021

Posted on 02/12/2021 10:11:59 PM PST by LeoWindhorse

I originally applauded the decision by President Biden to nominate Ambassador Bill Burns to lead the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The idea that an outsider would bring a new perspective to the agency is definitely a goal worthy of support. Burns, a 33-year career foreign service officer, has been a consumer of the CIA’s products long enough to know what is useful for policymakers. His status as someone who hasn’t spent their career inside the intelligence agencies should be the model for Intelligence Community (IC) nominees. But the new revelations about Ambassador Burns' post-diplomatic career are too troubling to ignore. His recent dealings with China, at a time when the Biden Administration has been downplaying the threat from China, are extremely concerning. He isn’t the right person to lead the Central Intelligence Agency at this time.

The ACLJ has always been scum the fact they even entertained the idea of supporting Biden’s pick for the CIA just shows how much scum they really are.

Are you sure you’re thinking of the right group? The ACLJ is Jay Sekulow’s organization.

I was referring to Burns. “Served” his country for 30 years, then immediately goes to work for the biggest most mass-murdering communist dictatorship in human history.

I don’t trust him. I thought he was a white hat but the DNI report was unforgivable. Basic production management would have signaled he had a problem with managers over the analysts that were doing the report.

A report with the stakes as high as they were......unforgivable. No senior intel officer gets surprised by a report he is charged with producing. The managers and analyst should have been subjects of a CI investigation and a new team reassigned to finish the product.

including the Biden crime family. I am starting to see a pattern. Duh!

When is Biden adding a wing to the WH. The Chinese Communists cannot rule the country from Beijing.

Traitor Joe will name it the Jinping wing.

I think it’s time to build an Ark, and try to fill it with 2 people from every country in the world, who don’t have troubling connections to China

I think China connections are a requirement to work for the Biden Administration

Ric Grennell is a patriot.

Calling Obama a treasonous, lying bastard just doesn’t do him justice, but I have no other words.
