Richard Grenell Scores Major Win: Secures Freedom for 6 Americans in High-Stakes Venezuela Negotiation
Townhall ^

Posted on 02/01/2025 9:15:53 AM PST by DIRTYSECRET

The meeting focused on Trump’s plan to deport some 400 violent Venezuelan immigrants, including members of the Tren de Aragua gang, back to Venezuela. However, the country has refused to accept illegal immigrants that the United States is deporting. At the same time, the U.S. used the meeting to try to secure the release of American detainees held there.

Put on your GM/Human Resources cap here. This is big but overshadowed by other events in DC. Grenell is based in Calif. where we have more than our share of problems he'll be called to work on. Governor Newsom's influence will be crowded out as he's a big part of the problem.

Back to Grenell. Where does he end up next? A talent Trump recognizes.

Remember the Rollman skating rink?
Mittens saved the Olympics.

We are living in a time where getting things done is taking on more importance. Grenell is in charge of the LA fires cleanup.

I’m wondering if he should be the point man if there’s another recall. If not there’s November, ‘26.

“We are living in a time where getting things done is taking on more importance.”

What an astonishing contrast to the last Administration.

"Grenell is in charge of the LA fires cleanup."

I must have missed that one since the cleanup and rebuilding is a Local and State issue.

Rick Grinnell is there to make sure the money doesn’t get stolen.

Think of what Ric could accomplish as governor of CA. Maybe he wouldn’t be interested but boy could he turn that state around.

Democrats only cause problems they ignore and then milk for every penny. Republicans fix and find solutions. As Hollywood dies, It will turn to ash. Nobody wants to fix that evil pit.

President Trump Confirms Emissary Position – Ric Grenell, Presidential Envoy for Special Missions

December 15, 2024 | Sundance 

It is all coming together nicely.  With Lt General Keith Kellogg special envoy to Ukraine and Russia, and with the appointment of Steven C. Witkoff to be Special Envoy to the Middle East, President Trump has essentially created a construct that works around the insufferable issues with a globalist State Department.

Senator Marco Rubio was nominated for Secretary of State, thereby removing him from the Senate Intelligence Committee and leadership role in Gang of Eight intel; but Trump simultaneously put in guardrails against the neocon tendencies of the Florida Senator and junior McCain.

Rubio doesn’t have Ukraine/Russia in his portfolio, nor does he have diplomatic or policy control over the Middle East.  President Trump has neutered the State Department, and the cherry on the proverbial cake is what he just announced.

[Source]

Yes, President Trump has just confirmed that Ric Grenell will be the Emissary we have discussed.  Great job Mr President (for all the obvious reasons).

With Nunes leading a private intel advisory committee and with Grenell being the most powerful, agile and flexible person to run strategic foreign policy operations, the tentacle influence of the Deep State is removed from the Oval Office.  Now the official cabinet team can start pouring sunlight into the silos.

Without a doubt in my mind, the “emissary” is the most important person President Trump will select.

The Washington DC Intelligence Community (IC) actively work to isolate the office of the president.  This is an almost impossible dynamic to avoid, caused by an entrenched and ideological adversary who has dug themselves deep into the apparatus of government.

The “emissary” is the person who carries the word of President Trump to any person identified by President Trump.  The emissary is very much like a tape recording of President Trump in human form.  The emissary travels to a location, meets a particular person or group, and then recites the opinion of the President.  The words spoken by the emissary, are the words of President Trump.

The IC cannot inject themselves into this dynamic; that is why it is so valuable.

The emissary then hears the response from the intended person or group, repeats it back to them to ensure he/she will return with clarity of intent as expressed, and then returns to the office of the presidency and repeats the reply for the President.  The emissary recites back exactly what he was /is told.

This process is critical when you understand how thoroughly compromised the full Executive Branch is.  More importantly, this process becomes even more critical when you accept the Intelligence Community will lie to the office of the President to retain their position.

Read this next sentence slowly….

If the Senate confirms a director of an IC silo, then that director is demonstrably going to lie to the office of the President.

The Senate only confirms Intelligence Community leadership who are willing to LIE to THE PRESIDENT.    This is just a factual reality.

If the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) confirms them, they will lie.  That is the main role of the SSCI.

The people who constructed the Silos then metastasized the control rot within them, use the term “continuity of government,” to describe the true role and responsibility of the system.  This is not factually wrong.

Where people go wrong is misunderstanding what the “continuity” is that is being maintained.  Truly, the continuity of government is the priority. However, it’s the continuity of currently corrupt and immoral government we are now maintaining.

The CIA Director will lie to President Trump (they did, remember), the information that comes from within the CIA institution is political and false.

The FBI Leadership will lie to President Trump (they did, remember), the information that comes from within the FBI institution is political and false.

The AG will lie, same problem.

The DNI will lie, same problem.

The NSA will lie, and all the deputies therein will lie, same problem, same problem, same problem.

Washington DC puts it this way, you probably heard Bill Barr talking about ad-infinitum.  The IC leadership is responsible for maintaining the “continuity of government” at all costs.  The government is more important than The President.

If the continuity of government is maintained by lying to the office of the President, then so be it.  Or, as James Comey said when justifying his lies to the President and his manipulation on March 20th, 2017:

because of the sensitivity of the matter.

You can get as angry as you want about this, it’s just the DC system that exists.  We must deal with what exists, not what we would pretend there to be.

If a candidate for an IC position is not willing to lie to the President, that is to believe the lies that come from within the silo they are in charge of, then the Senate will not confirm him/her.   This is why President Trump needs an emissary.

The role of the emissary is critical, the qualifications for that role are extremely important.

Remember, this person is speaking on behalf of President Trump.  And representing the responding voice with a similar level of clarity.

The emissary must be of incredible moral character.  They must be honest.  The person should be entirely altruistic.  They must have exceptional judgement, possess no ego, be impervious to scrutiny or review. They must maintain themselves at the highest moral standards at all times and exhibit incredible judgement and wisdom.

Due to the nature of the position the emissary is extremely powerful; therefore, a disposition of humility is also critical.  The President must be able to trust this person without reservation or issue.  At the same time, the entire weight of the U.S. Intelligence Community apparatus will seek to compromise the emissary, as they try to put walls around the President who holds silo-busting power.

Honesty, integrity, humility, trustworthiness, unimpeachable character and exceptional judgement, establish the baseline of traits the emissary must possess.

This is a choice that will be deeply important to President Trump.  Fortunately, it is not a position that requires any confirmation or external approval.  Judgement, discernment, wisdom and silence are the strength characteristics.

Excellent choice!

And, I suspect, to keep a close eye on who in fact does steal it, the incompetency of the Mayor and other officials, and after the state and locals have totally muffed everything, will be the one to step in on Trump’s behalf and do what must be done.

Which could turn CA red.

Grenells real name is Luca Abrazzi. Delivers an offer they cannot refuse. “Nice presidential compound you have there muduro, pity something could happen to it.”

Grennell was in the first administration. Possibly one of the best appointees the country has seen in decades. Wherever he goes he asks for competence, transparency, and accountability to the US taxpayer.

I seem to remember some American mercenaries who were involved in a coup a few years back.
