Richard Grenell, a True Hero of Our Times

You may have noticed, as a mere citizen of this country, there are many things you are not supposed to know.

You are not mature enough or intelligent enough to handle certain information. You are in, in effect, a child in a supposedly democratic republic.

When Congress wishes to interview key players on a matter of significance, they first, and often only, do it in camera so you infants are not allowed to hear the truth as it emerges under oath.

The result? In public, you are lied to, repeatedly, until you are constrained to believe the lie that is being echoed endlessly by the media.

Most of us, therefore, regard our nation’s capital as the epicenter of obfuscation and prevarication, a place where you can’t find an honest man and if you need a friend, as Harry Truman said, you should get a dog.

This is nothing new. It goes back at least to Ancient Greece when Diogenes of Sinope wandered the Peloponnese looking for that honest man. (He, in reality, was it.)

America in 2020, in the midst of a pandemic and a fateful presidential election that may determine whether our future is free market capitalism or socialism, has found its Diogenes just in the nick of time.

His name Is Richard Grenell, formerly ambassador to Germany and before that spokesperson for various UN ambassadors and now acting director of national intelligence.

Mr. Grenell, that ingrate, decided that we weren’t so stupid after all and were able to determine the truth for ourselves if given access to the facts. So he marched testimony, heretofore hidden, due to the restrictions of one Adam Schiff, regarding the Trump-Russia probe over to another potential Diogenes (William Barr—two for the price of one) and the rest is emerging history,

What are we discovering so far? That the aforementioned Mr. Schiff is a serial liar verging on the pathological is something of a yawner at this point.

Much more important—wedged between a slew of “leaders” who apparently said one thing in public and something entirely different under oath— is the following, well explained by Zachary Stieber on this outlet:

“Outgoing President Barack Obama revealed in early 2017 that he knew details from phone calls incoming Trump administration National Security Advisor Michael Flynn made, surprising one of the Department of Justice’s top officials, according to newly released documents.”

What? The nascent Trump administration was being spied on by….

Cutting to the chase, we are already in the land of “what did the president know and when did he know it” for a scandal that far exceeds Watergate because it involves a potential coup. More is certainly to come with the reputation of the Obama administration hanging by a thread………..
