President Trump has named Richard Grenell, the vocal and controversial U.S. ambassador to Germany, as the new acting director of national intelligence, replacing the current acting head of the nation's 17 spy agencies.

Grenell, who has been the U.S. envoy to Berlin since May 2018, is known to be fiercely loyal to Trump, but critics have noted that he has no background in intelligence and no top-level management experience.

Another Trump lackey PLUS by appointing him "acting head" it avoids a senate confirmation hearing.

I am thinking Trump did all those pardons the other day (none of which were deserved) to make it look routine when he pardons that idiot Stone. I'd love to see Roger in orange if only for the fact orange jump suits don't have spread collars. SAD, as Donald says.
