President-elect Donald Trump reacted quickly to protests from supporters who believed that he would choose Mike Rogers as director of the FBI.
Trump's long-serving advisor and social media director Dan Scavino delivered an update on the idea on Friday morning on his X account.
'Just spoke to President Trump regarding Mike Rogers going to the FBI,' he wrote. 'It’s not happening — In his own words, “I have never even given it a thought.” Not happening.'
Rogers, a former FBI agent, congressman, and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, ran unsuccessfully for Senator of Michigan in November but was a rumored contender for the position after he met with the Trump transition team at Mar-a-Lago.
Key MAGA figureheads started protesting the idea after learning that former deputy director of the FBI Andrew McCabe endorsed the idea of Rogers leading the law enforcement agency.
McCabe described Rogers as a “totally reasonable, logical selection” to lead the agency, in an interview on CNN and warned against Trump choosing MAGA loyalist Kash Patel. now “It’s inconceivable to me that an outsider with no experience in the organization, no knowledge of the work and the scope of authority that’s involved there could perform adequately,” McCabe said.

Kash! Yep!!!
He better effing well pick Kash Patel. And Bongino for Secret Service.
HOORAY President Trump! Mr. Rogers and his wife aren’t very neighborly. He should put on his slippers and retire.
The deep state has been trying to gaslight Trump and the voters by pretending there is a groundswell of voter support for Mike Rogers as FBI Director. There wasn't and isn't any support for Rogers except at the never-Trumper GOP and deep state level.
If he picks Rogers this will be the second most failed Trump picks. Sorry Pam is one and then this piece of crap will be number two! This is not what MAGA wantSS…. I hope he reconsiders and does not pick Rogers.
Sorry, but key MAGA figureheads started protesting the idea the very moment it was floated. The hashtag #KashOnly trended on Twitter/X long before the McCabe endorsement.
Kash.
He should dump Oz. WTH.
I love Kash Patel as head of the FBI. Rogers is definitely Deep State, Paul Ryan Fox....
KASH NOW OR PAY LATER
Unfortunately I agree with your assessment. Bondi is a good attorney, and loyal to Trump as she proved when she represented Trump at his first impeachment.
However, Bondi isn't the Washington insider that Gaetz was, and doesn't know where the bodies are buried like Gaetz does.
She will get stonewalled and deceived by the career DOJ personnel and not get done what needs to be done there.
MAGA KASH !
America First.
Such a thought has NEVER entered Rodgers mind.
Trump has blown it with Bondi. He better not screw this up too.
Pam Bondi is horrible choice. Anyone held in high esteem by the deep state is going to decimate the deep state? How does that work? I voted Trump 3 times and he is employing many SH** people this time around also. Rubio? Bondi? Lutnick who is in bed with Jared Kushner? BS!!!
How so? I don’t know much about her.
Bingo! You nailed it. She will be easily easily walked on. I’m telling you they’re giddy and ecstatic celebrating this pick!

In 2020, Rogers mocked President Trump for questioning the election results.
“By attempting to use the trappings of the Oval Office to influence state officials, he is violating norms of behavior and setting a dangerous precedent for the future — not just here, but internationally.
The reality for Trump is that he lost the election, and not just in Michigan. The 2020 election was perhaps the mostly closely watched in history.”
Kash is a Trump/Maga loyalist. Trump will do the right thing.
