Richard Grenell has declassified a new batch of Russia probe documents on his way out as acting director of national intelligence, leaving the decision on whether to make those files public up to newly sworn-in Director John Ratcliffe. The transcripts Grenell has declassified, though, are for five phone calls Flynn had with Kislyak on Dec. 29, 2016. “Richard Grenell brought unmatched energy and transparency to ODNI during his tenure there,” a senior administration official told Fox News. "This is inconsistent with the oath and obligations of an acting Director of National Intelligence." However, aside from his declassification of documents related to the Russia probe, Grenell made other big moves within ODNI during his three-month tenure.
