Richard "Ric" Grenell, the former acting director of National Intelligence in President-elect Trump's first administration, is reportedly under consideration to be special envoy for the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Currently, there is no special envoy responsible for bringing an end to the war in Eastern Europe. Trump is strongly considering whether to create the role, Reuters reported, citing four sources familiar with the president's deliberations.
If he does create the new position, Grenell is said to be a leading candidate, though Trump may select someone else, the sources told Reuters. There is also no guarantee that Grenell would accept the position if it were offered to him, the sources reportedly said.

In that role, Trump needs someone with the character and moral fortitude to stand up to CIA and State Department deep staters who would attempt to hinder or sabotage Trump’s plans. Grenell has shown that needed strength, IMHO.
ZEEPERS will hate Grenell, I predict.
Russia doesn’t like him.
Maria Zakharova (July 2024):
“An aide to former US President Donald Trump, Richard Grenell, proposed the creation of autonomous zones in Ukraine.
Where were you, Rick, when the Minsk agreements dedicated to exactly this were on the international community’s table, and Russia was doing everything possible in support of them and calling for a search for a form of federalization of Ukraine to preserve its integrity?
Then you were the US ambassador in Berlin and called on the Germans to abandon the construction of the Nord Stream gas pipeline, grossly interfering in the internal affairs of Russia and Germany.
Now the Germans are without gas and the economy, and the Ukrainians are without a country and a stable future.”

ummmm, No
Hunter has the most experience.
Taxpayers already sent a massive $300 Billion to the corrupt sleazy Zelenskyy Ukraine regime.
And still pay the salaries and innumerable costs of the Ukraine
government, its civil servants, and the population’s needs.
Zelensky is lying in wait adding up the “rebuilding” costs.

Hope he gets this - or another position - in the Trump administration.
I like Ric too.
Me too!
Grenell is the perfect choice. Trump needs someone he can trust and won’t leak. Will the Dems and Deep State try to use the Logan Act against him?
He may well do a lot of good work behind the scenes and not get the credit for it.
You KNOW it’s way more than $300 BILLION!!! Biggest Money Laundering EVER!
Revisionist history Maria. Germany deindustrialized itself with a terrible energy policy driven by the Greens. Eliminating nuclear power plants was a disaster. And who blew up the NordStream pipelines?
The Russians may not like Ric, but they respect him.
"I put $19 billion in an offshore bank for you, Joe, just like Hunter told me to."
BIMGO!
You hate America.
That an openly homosexual former cabinet level official in a supposedly conservative administration is touted as a paragon of "character and moral fortitude" helps illustrate just how far our society and culture has fallen.
Or perhaps how stupid and illogical you are.
My guess is that Grenell knows how to handle the Zelensky type, however just a puppet he may be.
