Richard Grenell
Was almost a regular on Tucker Carlson’s show
And yes, the Ambassador that stated he want’ed to bolster right-wing communities in Europe
This would be a disaster: https://t.co/ST1adUqJJR

Because Grenell is Senate-confirmed (as Ambassador to Germany), the President has the authority to name him Acting DNI under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act.
Of course, there’d be no reason not to _nominate_ him to be the actual DNI if he were actually qualified for the job… https://t.co/PGNShWGzXp— Steve Vladeck (@steve_vladeck) February 19, 2020
And no, there is absolutely nothing in Grenell’s past that qualifies him to be more than the spokesperson for the Director of National Intelligence
