A Quiet Hero – NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers Retires

A quiet hero, most will never understand what Rogers did for our country.

It’s difficult to fully convey or appreciate Admiral Rogers’ actions. He quietly stood against a deeply embedded Intelligence apparatus and risked his reputation and career.

Although it may take some time, it is my hope that his role will be more fully appreciated.

It’s entirely possible there would have been no FISA disclosure without the 2016 actions of Rogers.

There might have been no investigation by Inspector General Horowitz.

We all owe Admiral Rogers a debt of gratitude and a special spot in the pantheon of American heroes. His name shall not be forgotten.

Thank You .. I'm stealing that!😁

Rogers’ original patriotic act was telling Candidate Trump that his campaign HQ was under heavy electronic surveillance, thereby prompting an immediate move and the famous comment —widely mocked at first— “They tapped my wires”.

The mechanism Rogers used to tell Trump is interesting:

He drove and then physically WALKED into the building.

Now why would the head of the NSA do that, right..?

I think everyone here can figure it out.

Anyway, Trump moved his whole HQ the very next day.

Decades from now, if we’re not all in chains in some American Gulag, the name Rogers will evoke great feelings of heroism and sacrifice.

I did not know that--like a scene out of "Enemy of the State"...

Someday a movie will be made about him... The pendulum is swinging back... he'll be recognized as a hero.

Thanks for the reminder, guys.

If I’m not mistaken, Rogers was handling two agencies prior to his retirement. He spoke eloquently regarding their value. I can only hope he was certain.

Admiral Mike Rogers:
1) A true American hero who informed President Elect Trump of the massive electronic surveillance against his transition team on November 17th, 2016 at Trump tower (wish I could have heard that conversation).
2) Stood against corrupt deep staters such as Clapper, Brennan, Comey, Obama and others.
3) Needs to further testify and write a book about his work at the NSA, uncovering and revealing unprecedented FISA abuse and deep state corruption.
4) Needs to be publicly recognized by President Trump (at the proper time) and awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Thank you & God bless you Admiral Mike Roger’s!
