Eric Swalwell just destroyed Donald Trump’s stooge Richard Grenell
Now that Donald Trump has replaced his Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell with someone permanent, it’s not clear what Grenell is getting in return for having helped Trump play up the phony “Obamagate” nonsense. Grenell is denying reports that he’s set to join the Trump 2020 campaign, which could bring him a handsome payday.
In any case, Grenell seems intent on picking fights on his way out the door. Unfortunately for him, he’s shown up to these battles completely unarmed. Grenell has spent the day insisting on Twitter that there was “no collusion” between Russia and the Trump 2016 campaign, despite the clear evidence in front of everyone’s eyes. That’s when Congressman Eric Swalwell jumped in and began destroying Grenell:
Did you read:
— Manafort gave polling data to Russians
— @realDonaldTrump lied about Trump Tower Moscow deal during the 2016 primary season
— Jr. meeting with the Russians in Trump Tower
— @realDonaldTrump asking Russia to hack @HillaryClinton
Read it again. https://t.co/B4zrD0n9ej

But Swalwell was just getting started: “remember the time Richard Grenell came and briefed Congress and cleared all this up? I don’t either. Like his former boss, he’s just a tough guy on Twitter.” Swalwell then continued piling on:
Is this a real person or a Trump AI account? This started because you said as DNI you’d release the Flynn tapes to prove the batty Trump conspiracy. You didn’t (& you refused to come to Congress). Now that you’re gone, it’s time to “brief the American people.” You had your chance https://t.co/WssN1V98h6

By the time Eric Swalwell was finished piling on, Richard Grenell was left sheepishly declaring that “I was there 3 months” in an attempt at distancing himself from much of the Trump regime’s corrupt antics. Noting that Grenell is now out of a job, Swalwell fired back with “Bye, Richard.”
