PING...
Totally unimportant but.. what is it with President Elect Trump and guys named Michael/Mike?
;)
Could this further bolster the conspiracy theory that the NSA is nationalist and the CIA is globalist?
Isn’t he the jerk wad who claimed the Russians “ hacked” the election?
Sure sounded like he was making a political statement
I’m sure the staffs of many agencies can’t wait until the grownups take charge. The eight year reign of terror is over.
This is a test post only.
This is only a test.
Placemarking for a good read!
Rogers’ bosses — Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper — advised the White House that he be removed last month, before it was reported that Rogers was meeting with President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday in New York City.

2056: Looking Backward from a Trump Future
The Reuters article is interesting. Good thread, thank you for posting. Perhaps the most fascinating article I have read all year. Not the article per se, but my fevered imaginings of what it all means.
On another intel front, things might get really dicey for Obama/Clinton:
Trump’s National Security Picks Want to Air Obama’s Iran Secrets

For years, many Republicans and conservatives have charged that President Barack Obama was shielding embarrassing intelligence and policy details about Iran in order to support the nuclear deal reached last year.
With Donald Trump’s upset victory, the party of Lincoln will have an opportunity to declassify and disclose this information. While no decisions have been made, two early picks to Trump’s cabinet suggest this is going to happen.
Let’s start with retired general Michael Flynn, the next president’s choice to be national security adviser. Flynn served for two years as Obama’s director of the Defense Intelligence Agency from 2012 to 2014. Just as relevant, however, is that in 2011 he ran a team at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence that reviewed the troves of material captured in the 2011 Osama bin Laden raid.
Under Obama, the intelligence community has declassified a small fraction of those documents and released them in drips and drabs. This prompted Flynn, after he retired in 2014, to charge that the disclosures were selective. Flynn has said in interviews and writings that some documents captured in the bin Laden raid showed a much tighter relationship between Iran and al-Qaeda than previously disclosed.

The sweet thing is that if Obama fires anyone who may be really useful, Trump can do a very quick turnaround once he takes the oath...instead of being fired, he may end up with a promotion if he impresses the CINC properly.
NSA chief Rogers is recommended to be fired.
State Department supposedly can't find thousands of emails and other documents.
The only thing that makes sense to me is criminal activity is being planned by the Obama administration.
