Trump’s New Spy Chief Worked For A Foreign Politician The U.S. Accused of Corruption

[Lakhota]

Richard Grenell did not disclose payments for advocacy work on behalf of a Moldovan politician whom the U.S. later accused of corruption.

President Donald Trump’s new acting intelligence director, Richard Grenell, used to do consulting work on behalf of an Eastern European oligarch who is now a fugitive and was recently barred from entering the U.S. under anti-corruption sanctions imposed last month by the State Department.

In 2016, Grenell wrote several articles defending the oligarch, a Moldovan politician named Vladimir Plahotniuc, but did not disclose that he was being paid, according to records and interviews. Grenell also did not register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which generally requires people to disclose work in the U.S. on behalf of foreign politicians.

FARA is the same law that Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort and former deputy campaign manager Rick Gates were convicted of violating. (Manafort went to trial. Gates pleaded guilty.)

Trump only hires the best. Grenell is now in charge of all 17 of out intelligence agencies. What do you think?

 

[ABikerSailor]

Well, he knows nothing about intelligence, but he is staunchly loyal to Trump. In the eyes of the loyalists, he's qualified.

A lot of innocent people are being accused of corruption these days...Grenell is a very smart America first capable person...perfect pick for DNI....

Manafort was convicted on bank fraud, genius.

And actually there is only 3 agencies that have anything directly to do with intel....the rest are agencies like the Coast Guard.

 

[ABikerSailor]

He has zero experience in working with intelligence, as he has only been a diplomat. But, like I said, he's a loyal Trump supporter, so he's qualified to be his lackey and direct the intelligence agencies towards whatever Trump wants.

Grenell could be the first openly gay American president...he is a true blue America first director of national intelligence...

Sanders spent his honeymoon in Russia during the coldest part of the Cold War. Maybe lefties should worry more about the likely possibility that he will be the democrat presidential candidate.

He's never worked in intelligence. The only thing he's done is be a diplomat to Germany.

You need to realize that not being a lifetime entrenched swamper is what this nation needs more of...

In 2001, Grenell was appointed by President George W. Bush as Director of Communications and Public Diplomacy for the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations. Serving in that role until 2008, Grenell became the longest-serving U.S. spokesman at the United Nations, advising four different U.S. Ambassadors.

Isolated in Berlin Trump's Ambassador Finds Few Friends in Germany
Since arriving in Berlin as U.S. ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell has flouted diplomatic conventions and attempted to interfere in domestic politics. He has since become politically isolated in the German capital.

‘He Does Not Understand What the Role of an Ambassador Should Be’
U.S. Ambassador Ric Grenell managed to shock and offend Berlin’s political class in his first month on the job. Now protocol-loving Germans are wondering—will he learn to change?

[White 6]

Does not matter. His job will be to keep intell under wraps from the American people. He doesn't have to go before congress for confirmation and if he did, it would only be before the trump Senate. Slam dunk. I cannot think of a single department, trump has appointed a director to that was actually good for the department appointed. Notable in passing, but nothing new here or even surprising. Guess none of his kids wanted it.

Hmmmm? The Podesta brothers worked on behalf of Russia by lobbying the lifting of sanctions after the Ukrainian coup d'état.

Not really a diplomat, more of a agitator.
