NSA Director 'told his staff there is damning evidence of collusion between Trump's team and Russia
UK Daily Mail ^ | 27 May 2017 | Liam Quinn

NSA Director Mike Rogers told his staff there is 'damning' evidence Donald Trump and his team colluded with the Russian government, a former agent claims.

The shocking information was allegedly relayed to all staff in an agency-wide meeting this week, ex-NSA agent John Schindler claimed Friday.

Schindler wrote in the New York Observer the security chief started the meeting by telling staff they were not going to like what he disclosed to them, but he had to: 'tell what (he) had seen'.

'Rogers then added that such SIGINT exists, and it is damning,' the ex-agent wrote.

'He stated, "There is no question that we [meaning NSA] have evidence of election involvement and questionable contacts with the Russians."

'Although Rogers did not cite the specific intelligence he was referring to, agency officials with direct knowledge have informed me that DIRNSA was obviously referring to a series of SIGINT reports from 2016 based on intercepts of communications between known Russian intelligence officials and key members of Trump’s campaign, in which they discussed methods of damaging Hillary Clinton.'

Also if there was damning evidence, it would’ve been out already LOL

Here we go again. Someone said that they overheard something about another person overhearing what they thought someone else was thinking about while they were talking on their phone who might have heard....

what? NSA is under fire from more than one direction, and Rogers, who’s there to drain that swamp, calls his entire agency in, leakers and all, without telling his bosses in Congress? Oh, and Russia is just letting loose on unsecure networks with all their conversations like they’re calling Aunt Tillie so let’s just tell them we know every word everyone says and see how that improves world relations. O. K. Must be some good wine flowing over at the press pit.

Collusion definition:

A secret understanding between two or more persons to gain something illegally, to defraud another of his or her rights, or to appear as adversaries though in agreement.

Collusion is not a crime but it may be focused around the committing of a crime. It can be considered an extenuating or mitigating factor when the trial about some crime is being prosecuted.

Putin told Hillary, “don’t go to Wisvonsin, it’s in the bag”

FTA: ...communications between known Russian intelligence officials and key members of Trump’s campaign, in which they discussed methods of damaging Hillary Clinton.'

This marks the first jumping off point for ridiculous and fake. Hillary was doing a damn fine job of doing damage herself. Why would they bother? Just get out of the way -- she was on a roll and her sycophants couldn't even be bothered to listen to what the serial sex-offender she is married to was telling them about winning politics.

The other jumping off point for this flight of fantasy was pointed out by multiple posters yesterday on a similar article in a Brit publication. Simply put, no agency director has this type of conversation with a broad portion of agency personnel.

If he testified, and is.now.saying something else, then he committed perjury and should be prosecuted.

Yeah, but that "source" is backed up by the trusty...

"agency officials with direct knowledge..."

You just can't question that kind of authentication.

Schindler has written some really good articles on “emailgate” and Hilly and I liked reading his stuff because it seemed very credible, but later saw some things from him that were very anti-Trump so the bloom has been off his rose for me.

Here’s one of his better articles on Hilly:

Schindler is a virulent never Trumper and has been known to disseminate fake news.

AND just WHY would Trump or any of his associates collude with the Russians. It doesn’t even make sense.

If the head of the NSA has this information, why the need for staffers? Shouldn’t they be the ones filtering the information before it makes its way UP to the director?

Sounds to me like more leak bait, or Trump’s people putting it out there to keep MSM focused on what the right hand is doing. Or more likely, both.

Really? I gather that the number of NSA employees is classified but is somewhere over 30,000, and perhaps considerably more. The bulk of them apparently work at Fort Meade. So Mike Rogers is supposed to have dropped this (shall we say, somewhat sensitive, and classified) bombshell on upwards of 30,000 people? If Mike Rogers resigns over the weekend, I might credit this. It would be a spectacular way of hitting the exits.
