The heads of the Pentagon and the nation’s intelligence community have recommended to President Obama that the director of the National Security Agency, Adm. Michael S. Rogers, be removed.

However, some of Obami’s security its being against him, might be a positive for Trump.

In a move apparently unprecedented for a military officer, Rogers, without notifying superiors, traveled to New York to meet with Trump on Thursday at Trump Tower.

Could be he pissed off some of Obama's career minions?

Thanks AB. I thought that something like this happened.

Admiral Rogers is a good man. He is dual-hated as the Director of NSA, and the Commander of US Cyber Command.

My feeling is once Obama is out, the NSA wants to go after Valerie Jarret.
WaPo doesn’t want the American people to know she was funneling info to the WaPo.

Thanks for your feedback.

If he is a good man as you, Trump will make a place for him in this critical area.

Would make you wonder - if true - just how bad are the obamas and Clintons that intel professionals would go to those lengths to see them defeated.

NSA Head Rodgers accuses WikiLeaks of electing Trump

Everything in this country is so goddamn wild right now, it’s easy to miss things.
