Our top intelligence official to Congress: Russia is at it again.
The response from the WH?
Fire the person with the bad news. Replace him with a neophyte who knows nothing about how to do the job. But he is totally loyal to DT personally.
"The Times reported that lawmakers were told Russia is interfering in the 2020 election specifically to get Trump reelected."
"After the classified briefing, Trump brought Maguire into the Oval Office for a "dressing down," The Post reported."
"According to The Post, the briefing was the "catalyst" for the president's decision to replace Maguire with Richard Grenell, a controversial figure and fierce loyalist who has served as the US ambassador to Germany."
Grenell has no experience or background in intelligence but is now charged with overseeing the 17 agencies that make up the US intelligence community."
"Trump has continued to exhibit skepticism, despite ongoing warnings from the US intelligence community about the potential for Russia, among other countries, to interfere in the 2020 election.
The US intelligence community, which the president has repeatedly expressed animosity toward over the course of his tenure, concluded with high confidence in 2017 that Russia interfered in 2016 to propel Trump to the Oval Office.
The Senate Intelligence Committee in July 2018 released a report backing up the intelligence community's findings.
In October, the committee released a report urging Trump to "reinforce with the public the danger" posed by foreign election interference leading up to the 2020 election."
