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.

I bet the NSA has all the information required to put most of these people away.

The big question is, who does the NSA work for - us (Trump) or the deep state?

Get ready for these bastards to come after Trump and Grenell with a VENGEANCE!!! If these pricks had paid attention to their jobs as much as they go after Trump 9 / 11 would never have happened!!!! These bastards are so busy going after AMERICAN citizens, Ruby Ridge, Waco, Trump, Flynn, they don’t have the damn time to go after terrorists, people crossing our wide open borders, the truth about the weapons of mass destruction, Benghazi attack!! These IDIOT Congress critters just CANNOT possibly understand why Trump doesn’t believe them I frankly don’t believe a word coming out of their mouths, and the fact that this country has not been attacked is by the absolute grace of God!!!

"The FBI couldn’t even find a 50,000 Square Foot Warehouse!!!"

They've never had more than a Field Office here or there that could actually find anything. They never had to until the digital camera and cell phone came along.

If there weren't WiFi or Cell Towers everywhere to quickly distribute digital imagery The FBI would have gotten a teletype about that warehouse being found, contacted the news wires to hold the story, flown two dozen agents in an assortment of attire down to PR along with four dozen selected media chumps, and had a huge news conference about how after years of hard, minutely detailed, work they had uncovered possible theft of Federal Aid to PR.

While this was all going on, the DoJ would be selecting the appropriate patsy to trot forward after a few more days of FBI magic.

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

Alas, the Ark of the Covenant will remain lost for another 3000 years....:(

I am waiting for that rat hack Wray to announce their intent to investigate the BS that the Russians are at this moment working to help Trump to give legitimacy to the crap story the intelligence service fed the NYT and CNN.

Step one: Remove all Muslims
Step two: Arrest and send all known perps to Gitmo.
Step three: Quick trials, public hangings every day for a year.

Isn’t Grenell a homosexual? I’m sure they’ve got something on him. Just sayin’...

Don't confuse fad with fashion. Deviants in high office are always a liability, and some of PDJT's personnel picks haven't worked out well at all.

I guess we'll see.

You can’t blackmail someone who will agree with what your trying to blackmail him for. Don’t know if Richard Grenell ever hung out at the Anvil, but I suspect if he did and you asked him he would say yep.

But since he is an evangelical christian conservative, I suspect he did not check out those types of places. He has been with his christian partner, Matt Lashey of over 16 years.

I heard K T Mcfarland this morning telling about the strong arm tactics of the FBI.

The fact that Barr sits by and doesn’t lead a slash and burn operation against the endemic corruption in the FBI can mean only one thing: Barr is a dirty cop. He praises the ones who managed and orchestrated it.

News was reporting this afternoon that the FBI notified Bernie last month that Russia was working to get him nominated.

“FBI notified Bernie last month that Russia was working to get him nominated.?

Oh, so they did’t go to the FISA court and get a warrant to spy on Bernie’s campaign and not inform Bernie? After all that is protocol isn’t it?
