Richard Grenell, a True Hero of Our Times

Roger L. Simon May 10, 2020

You may have noticed, as a mere citizen of this country, there are many things you are not supposed to know.............When Congress wishes to interview key players on a matter of significance, they first, and often only, do it in camera so you infants aren’t allowed to hear the truth as it emerges under oath.  The result? In public, you are lied to, repeatedly, until you are constrained to believe the lie that is being echoed endlessly by the media.

Most of us, therefore, regard our nation’s capital as the epicenter of obfuscation and prevarication, a place where you can’t find an honest man, ...............America in 2020.......... has found its Diogenes just in the nick of time.

His name is Richard Grenell, formerly U.S. ambassador to Germany and, before that, spokesperson for various U.N. ambassadors and now acting director of national intelligence.

Grenell, that ingrate, decided that we weren’t so stupid after all and were able to determine the truth for ourselves if given access to the facts. So he marched testimony, heretofore hidden, due to the restrictions of one Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), regarding the Trump–Russia probe over to another potential Diogenes (William Barr—two for the price of one), and the rest is emerging history.
What are we discovering so far? That the aforementioned Mr. Schiff is a serial liar verging on the pathological is something of a yawner at this point.

Much more important—wedged between a slew of “leaders” who apparently said one thing in public and something entirely different under oath—is the following, well explained by Zachary Stieber on this outlet:

“Outgoing President Barack Obama revealed in early 2017 that he knew details from phone calls incoming Trump administration National Security Adviser Michael Flynn made, surprising one of the Department of Justice’s top officials, according to newly released documents.”...............The president must have known it was time for a Diogenes, an honest man to open the books, be transparent, and reveal the truth of what’s been going on in the last few years. That’s something to celebrate. But don’t just say it, sing it!............To Read More....

Taking the Coup Clan to the Cleaners

Trump's Director of National Intelligence nominee will “speak the truth to power.”   
 

Lloyd Billingsley May 8, 2020

If confirmed as Director of National Intelligence, Texas Republican John Ratcliffe said this week, he would not let any “outside influence,” impact or alter intelligence. His loyalty would be “to the Constitution and rule of law” and Ratcliffe would “speak the truth to power.” As Ratcliffe knows, the intelligence community has been protecting the powerful from the truth, but change is in the wind.

On May 4, acting DNI Richard Grenell informed Congress that some 53 transcripts of interviews were declassified, redacted and ready for release. These include interviews with former DNI James Clapper, Loretta Lynch, Samantha Power, Andrew McCabe, Susan Rice, Ben Rhodes, and John Podesta. As Fox News reports, none of the 53 witnesses could provide evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia........To Read More....
