Former NSA Director is Cooperating With Probe of Trump-Russia Investigation

RETIRED ADM. MICHAEL ROGERS, former director of the National Security Agency, has been cooperating with the Justice Department’s probe into the origins of the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump presidential campaign’s alleged ties to Russia, according to four people familiar with Rogers’s participation.

Rogers has met the prosecutor leading the probe, Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham, on multiple occasions, according to two people familiar with Rogers’s cooperation. While the substance of those meetings is not clear, Rogers has cooperated voluntarily, several people with knowledge of the matter said.

Rogers, who retired in May 2018, did not respond to requests for comment.

Rogers’s voluntary participation, which has not been previously reported, makes him the first former intelligence director known to have been interviewed for the probe.

“He’s been very cooperative,” one former intelligence officer who has knowledge of Rogers’s meetings with the Justice Department said.

Politico and NBC News have previously reported that Durham intends to interview both former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. It is unclear if that has happened. Brennan and the Justice Department declined to comment. Clapper could not be reached for comment.

Would you have trusted romney had he won? Didnt think so.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Worth repeating often.

[hardspunned]

I’m not real sure what Romney has to do with anything about Rogers?

[Revel]

Read my comment. Then read the title of the thread. Then maybe it will make sense to you.

People need to remember... if Rogers is the white hat why hasn’t he been on tv exposing this coup attempt.... Rogers may not be corrupt but he’s certAinly no hero
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
National Security.
Rogers has been exposing this coup to everyone involved in legally stopping it. The general public would not be functiong very well the past few months if they knew how close we came to coup, and that it’s still being attempted. PResident Trump’s economic, international relations and jobs successes would not have happened in the midst of an open coup, but succeeded despite a veiled coup.

I READ THE HEADLINE AND EXCLAOMED:

THAT’S ROGERS.

That is how much I was hoping that Rogers would SOMEDAY, SOMEWAY get some of the credit (there are otherers_)
for exposing this monster of a conspiracy by USA officials, to remove our President.

Admiral Rogers is a hero in all of this. A principled fish in an ocean of unprincipled sharks.

It was his decree to cut off all contractor access to the NSA database in April 2016 that made the conspirators try to find other ways to proceed, and opened them up to making discoverable mistakes.

[rlmorel]

Yes, you and I see Admiral Rogers the same way.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Maybe Rogers held off going to the romney campaign fearing nothing would have been done.Didnt trust them?

Sprink
I woke up this morning thinking I need to tell Sprink I am sorry for my knee jerk reaction!
.....and I am!
Then I read ‘ransomnote’s ‘ post to you .....
.....that post expresses dignity and truth.

We can all learn from each other

I just feel very protective for Admiral Rogers........someday our country and the world will realize the debt we owe him.
He IS a white hat!

[hardspunned]

The earliest reference I’ve seen to Obama’s illegal spying has been 2012. We both know he started as soon as he figured out he could get away with it. Maybe Rogers can shed light on 2008 through 2012.

“ Admiral Rogers is one genuine deserving candidate for being awarded the Congressional Medal of Freedom and Medal of Honor.

None of the Coup Plot would have seen the light of day had it not been for his courage and patriotism.”

BTTT

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Agreed.I hope Rogers has a loyal security detail but the way things are heating up I put nothing past anybody.Merry Christmas FRiend.

“Read my comment. Then read the title of the thread. Then maybe it will make sense to you.”

No. That didn’t help.

I understood what was being said the first time. We clearly disagree on whether or not the “letter entity who cannot be named” is a white-hat (or even real)... I say no.

[Uncle Miltie]

NSA has everything. If they choose.

"Here is that clip about Graham threatening Rosenstein."

Thanks for posting that.

Not exactly as I remembered but the content is correct.

[Eleutheria5]

I want to see perp walks yesterday. Hangings sometime this coming year.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Jacquerie.

[bkopto]

From your lips to God’s ears.....

[Eleutheria5]

Just got a note from on high:

DEAR E5: I HEARD THAT. TOO LATE FOR PERP WALKS YESTERDAY. I MUST RESPECT THE TIME-SPACE CONTINUUM THAT I CREATED, OR EVERYTHING WILL GO INSIDE OUT AND BACKWARDS. BUT AS FOR HANGINGS SOMETIME NEXT YEAR! OOOOH, YEAH! BRING IT ON!

SINCERELY,

THE BIG GUY
