Richard Grenell Appointed Acting DNI

Last Wednesday, “President Donald Trump announced that Richard Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, will become acting director of national intelligence… Grenell follows Joseph Maguire, who has been acting national intelligence director since August.” (AP News)

The left criticizes the firing of Maguire and the appointment of Grenell, arguing that Grenell is unqualified and overly partisan.

The right praises Grenell, arguing that fears about his qualifications and partisanship are overblown.
