Or does Grenell also have rouble-stuffed pockets?

Richard Grenell - Wikipedia
The White House press release stated that Grenell had "years of experience working with our Intelligence Community in a number of additional positions";[101] however, this assertion was disputed by others who asserted Grenell had little background in intelligence matters.[102][103][104] Republican Senator Susan Collins, one of four co-authors of the legislation creating the ODNI in 2004, said: "I care deeply about that position and believe the person needs experience in the intelligence community, which regrettably Ambassador Grenell does not have."[105]
On the day his tenure began, it was reported that Grenell had not disclosed payments for advocacy work on behalf of Moldovan politician Vladimir Plahotniuc.[106][107]
On March 10, 2020, Grenell declined to attend a congressional hearing on election security, "citing apprehension about his preparedness to address sensitive subjects that tend to upset the president."[108]

Days after Grenell's appointment as DNI, CNN reported that his personal website had—until 2018—touted consulting work he had done for clients in Iran, China, Kazakhstan and other countries.[29]
