© APInterim Director of National Intelligence, Richard Grenell
The appointment of U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell as interim Director of National Intelligence (DNI),
a position that he will apparently hold simultaneously with the ambassadorship, has been criticized from all sides due to his inexperience, history of bad judgement and partisanship.
The White House is now claiming that he will be replaced by Texas Congressman John Ratcliffe after the interim appointment is over, though sources in Washington suggest that Ratcliffe might have some problems in being approved by Congress.
But such criticism, including my own, has somewhat missed the point, which is that
what we are already seeing is a purge orchestrated by Grenell of federal employees in the White House and national security apparatus who are holdovers from the Obama Administration and who are therefore considered to be unreliable. That is why Grenell will continue to be ambassador as well as DNI as it is envisioned that his wrecking ball will have completed its task within six months and he will be able to return to Berlin,
in spite of the fact that he is despised in Germany and many officials there
even refuse to meet with him, which characteristically doesn't appear to bother the White House at all.
