Acting Intelligence Chief Richard Grenell “increasingly concerned” over handling of sensitive U.S. person information among agencies and orders broad review

The acting Director of National Intelligence has ordered all 17 of the intelligence community agencies to immediately review whether their handling and sharing of information that identifies U.S. persons — such as citizens and those with permanent residency — are in compliance with strict privacy policies and procedures, according to a memorandum exclusively reviewed by CBS News.

Richard Grenell, who became the acting intelligence chief in February, signed the memorandum with the subject, “Protecting the Privacy and Civil Liberties of U.S. Persons,” on April 29.  It directs agencies including the CIA, the NSA, military intelligence and Homeland Security to report back findings, and identify specific actions that will ensure the rules are followed, within 30 days. 

The memo does not make clear the catalyst for the broad review.  But Grenell wrote, “As the Acting Director of National Intelligence, I serve as the approving official for dissemination of unmasked congressional identity information…I have become increasingly concerned with intelligence reports that inconsistently apply the policies and procedures governing how U.S. person identities are masked.” more here

  1. POTUS putting a ‘gay person’ in this position is a one of those chess moves you all hear about.

    DJT is a few moves ahead with the Deep State Swampers.

    Per what Ghost said, RG is in the same position currently that Flynn HAD in 2014.

    Think about that one?

  2. Stolen information on its enemies has been the fuel for the corrupt engine of the deepstater machine. Take that source from them and half of their illigitmate power is gone.
    DJT is finally picking up the sword to cut the head off of the DC Hydra.

  3. @Horatio Prim:

    RG is in the same position currently that Flynn HAD in 2014.

    Respectfully, minor correction: Lt. Gen. Flynn was head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), not ODNI. Your point is still a good one.

  4. I have been waiting for one of you to make the observation but let me get this straight….. In a sternly worded letter, rg has “demanded” that the corrupt policing bodies investigate their own malfeasance??? Is that what we are being told? Have I miss-read this? WTF?……… BURN IT ALL TO THE GROUND!
