Putins pumpkinfuhrer fires intelligence director for doing his job and telling the t***h.
Feb 21, 2020 05:18:07 #
US intelligence officials are reported to have warned members of Congress last week that Russia was trying to interfere in the 2020 e******n campaign in favour of Donald Trump, in a briefing that led to the abrupt removal of the acting director of national intelligence.
When Trump heard about the briefing, he railed at the acting DNI, Joseph Maguire, in the Oval Office, over what the president saw as disloyalty. Until then, Maguire had been a leading candidate to become permanent DNI and is understood to have told colleagues he expected to stay on in the position.
But in the wake of the briefing and Oval Office confrontation, Trump announced the appointment of a hardline loyalist, the US ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, in an acting capacity, which does not require Senate confirmation.

It's BS. Trump had already said probably Grenel would be the new director. Trump was mad because the Dems will use this for political points claiming once again that Trump is c***ting and colluding with Russia, perpetuating the endless fantasy.

Russia is looking to help Trump win in 2020, e******n security official told lawmakers

The intelligence community's top e******n security official delivered a briefing to lawmakers last week warning them that the intelligence community believes Russia is already taking steps to interfere in the 2020 e******n with the goal of helping President Donald Trump win, three sources familiar with the matter tell CNN.
The briefers said Russia does favor Trump, but that helping Trump wasn't the only thing they were trying to do as it was also designed to raise questions about the integrity of the e******ns process, the source added.
Trump became irate in a meeting with outgoing acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire last week for allowing the information about Russia's meddling efforts to be included in the briefing, a White House official said.
"What the (intelligence community) sees as reporting the t***h -- simple statement of facts in evidence without judgment -- the President sees as undermining his legitimacy," the former official told CNN.
On Wednesday, Trump announced he was naming Richard Grenell, a staunch loyalist and current US ambassador to Germany, as acting DNI despite him not having experience in intelligence. A source familiar with internal discussions said White House officials saw Grenell as a good stopgap solution for the acting DNI vacancy as time was running out on Maguire's time in the position and because of Trump's dissatisfaction with Maguire due to the intelligence briefing.
Trump confirmed in a tweet Thursday night he plans to nominate a permanent DNI soon, and floated Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee and a top congressional ally, for the position when speaking to reporters on Air Force One.
