Every President tried to shape the Intelligence apparatus for their own purposes and in their own image, just like everything else. How successful they were, is a different question.  John Kennedy fired Allen Dulles , and the rest became history. These dynamics are much more complex than the mechanical interactions.  Trump will never be able to destroy the Intelligence machine, and the shaping process is bidirectional. Richard Grenell will be the adaptive and efficient communicative belt, assuring the smooth functioning of this machine, he has no intentions of destroying it. Richard is smart, strong, and a charmer, when he needs to be. I am not acquainted with him at all, that's how I see him from the Web.
