This GRENELL creep fits right in with Roy COHN, SHITLER, & their Nazi smear techniques

Will intrepid reporters mention GRENELL's shady career moves (Wiki, below) and (contrary to the SHITLER mob) that the unmasking was done by *AUTHORIZED* persons and procedures under the legitimate duties of their positions and their performing due alertness and diligence to potential security threats?

Flynn ‘Unmasking’ List Made Public; Biden, Brennan, Clapper Among Those Named

Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden was revealed to have been listed on acting intelligence chief Richard Grenell’s list of “names of Obama administration officials who ‘unmasked’ Michael Flynn following his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States in 2016,” Wednesday.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) released the list, showing Biden’s name among others, which opened with, “Below is a list of recipients who may have received Lt. Gen Flynn’s identity in response to a request processed between 8 November 2016 and 31 January 2017 to unmask an identity that had been generically referred to in an NSA foreign intelligence report.”

Former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director for National Intelligence James Clapper were also named.

As noted by Politico, “An accompanying memo to Grenell, signed by National Security Agency Director Paul Nakasone, notes that each person was ‘an authorized recipient’ and that the unmasking was approved through the agency’s normal process.”

The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that Grenell had “given the Justice Department the names of Obama administration officials who ‘unmasked’ Michael Flynn following his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States in 2016,” after deciding to declassify the names.

Richard Allen Grenell

.... In 2016, Grenell's consulting firm accepted more than $100,000 from the Magyar Foundation of North America to provide public relations support for the Hungarian government of Viktor Orbán. Grenell did not disclose this payment under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) prior to his work in the Trump administration.[25]

Days after Grenell’s appointment as DNI, CNN reported that his personal website had—until 2018—touted consulting work he had done for clients in Iran, China, Kazakhstan and other countries.[26] ....

Grenell presented his credentials to the President of Germany on May 8, 2018.[34] Within hours of taking office, Grenell offended diplomats and business leaders when he tweeted that “German companies doing business in Iran should wind down operations immediately.”[35] The tweet was widely perceived as a threat, with the Foreign Minister of Luxembourg, Jean Asselborn, commenting that "This man was accredited as ambassador only yesterday. To give German businesses such orders … that’s just not how you can treat your allies.”[36] The leader of Germany's Social Democratic Party stated that Grenell "does appear to need some tutoring" in the "fine art of diplomacy", while the Die Linke party urged the Merkel government to summon Grenell to explain his comments.[36]

Grenell stirred controversy in June 2018 by telling Breitbart News, "I absolutely want to empower other conservatives throughout Europe, other leaders."[37] This comment was described[by whom?] as a breach of diplomatic protocol and a breach of Article 14 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which requires ambassadors to be politically neutral in the domestic politics of the countries where they serve.[38][37] Prominent German politicians called for Grenell's dismissal.[39][40][41][42] Martin Schulz, former leader of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, said, "What this man is doing is unheard of in international diplomacy. If a German ambassador were to say in Washington that he is there to boost the Democrats, he would have been kicked out immediately."[39]

The Ukraine thing blew up in Trump's face, and the Reade "scandal" went nowhere. Now this?

THE END, until the next one.



They have no give up button, so just expect a predictable sad slowly progressing political suicide/desperation spectacle up to early November?

Pretty soon:

Biden will be cast as SATAN level evil, meanwhile their plant actual IS that and a deluxe super evil mega obvious skidmark on the planet at that?

Meanwhile, I too enjoy the smell of women's hair.

Good luck!
