[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So Trump fired the DNI and is bringing in Grenell to shut down the election interference working group that Dan Coats established - is that what's going on here?

Pretty much. And worse.[/quote]

You all are so FOS.

President Trump didn't fire him in response to the briefing, He is literally REQUIRED BY LAW to step down.

From The New York Times:

"....under current law limiting the duration of postings for acting cabinet-level officials, Mr. Maguire must step down next month."

And, you do know that Ric Grenell has been pretty tough on Russia in his role as ambassador?   [/quote]

It was expected that Trump would nominate Maguire to be the official DNI, and that he would be confirmed by Congress.  But he decided, right after the intelligence briefing, to replace Maguire with Grenell.  It's technically not firing him.  But that's what he did.[/quote]

So Trump didn’t do as Congress expected.  OK. Then?[/quote]

Trump is doing what one who is abetting Russia, would do. Barr is dismantling the Department of Justice. Grennell and Patel will dismantle the Intelligence community, our schools are being undermined by DeVos - see a pattern? Trump is consolidating wealth and power into a very few at the expense of the health and well being of the masses. Unhealthy air and water, minimal if any education, no path forward except for the very rich. This is where we are headed.[/quote]

Geez you people are hysterical. Everyone knows it’s largely a ceremonial position anyway, it’s the people in lower positions that do the work. I can’t get too worked up about it.[/quote]
