If there actually is a deepstate, Grenell is it. I know this first hand. He (and Trump) chose not to release compelling evident the Saudi govt directly aided the 9/11 hijackers. I got this directly from the people who met with him. He’s a fraud just like the rest of them.
Getting info from folks who met with Grenell isn’t firsthand; firsthand is if you were one of the people who met with him.
