Former NSA Director is Cooperating With Probe of Trump-Russia Investigation
The Intercept ^ | December 19th 2019 | Matthew Cole

Posted on 12/20/2019 2:14:33 PM PST by Jacquerie

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.

<>. . . . made the conspirators try to find other ways to proceed, and opened them up to making discoverable mistakes.<>

Excellent point. Had the criminals ceased in their efforts after Trump won, we probably wouldn’t know anything of their crimes.

So are you suggesting there will be civil unrest if Obama is charged or civil unrest if just Comey, McCabe, etc are charged? Do you think Barr will have the guts to indict Obama?

Yes to the first.

No to the second, but I hope I am wrong.

I read that as Halper, Mifsud, et al, but Rogers does definitely call into “private individuals,” as do Brennan and Clapper.

I saw that too and I was a bit surprised because Graham is not usually like that. I read it exactly the way you did and since Graham knows a lot more than I do, I assume that Rosenstein is as dirty as the others.

U.S. Attorney John Durham and Retired Adm. Michael Rogers... a team strong enough to defend the country.

These are men who understand if 100% of ‘mistakes’ benefit one side - - a bank, a store, a coup, a political party, a police organization - - they’re NOT mistakes...

Idiot? Me? I'm an Australian. Anyone with dual citizenship can't stand for election in my country. It's a law you in the US would be wise to follow.

An issue of dual citizenship of particular interest to parliamentarians is section 44 of the Australian Constitution, which provides for the disqualification of intending Members of Parliament or Senators who hold the citizenship of another country.

You can conclude anything you like, and you can argue with Churchill if you wish, and btw, I didn't create the list and if you find one more up to date, be my guest and post it.

'Churchill makes a case that there exist three classes of Jews: ordinary Jews who want to earn a living, raise a family and contribute to the nation they live in; Jews who work to undermine the nations of the West via socialism; and Jews who want to create a national homeland for Jews in Israel.'

“In violent opposition to all this sphere of Jewish effort rise the schemes of the International Jews. The adherents of this sinister confederacy are mostly men reared up among the unhappy populations of countries where Jews are persecuted on account of their race. Most, if not all, of them have forsaken the faith of their forefathers, and divorced from their minds all spiritual hopes of the next world. This movement among the Jews is not new. From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States), this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing. It played, as a modern writer, Mrs. Webster, has so ably shown, a definitely recognisable part in the tragedy of the French Revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century; and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire.”

Now it's your turn. The second and third generation of Bolshevik jews are at it again, screaming and plotting for impeachment. Just check out their ancestors. They can't even bring themselves to support Israel's right to exist and carry the water for the so-called 'palestinians' - easy to call me an idiot, means you don't need to think.

It’s easy to fall into an anti-Semitic generality based on what certain anarchist groups with a few Jewish members did in Euro history and elsewhere. But it would be wrong.

I can show you dual citizen American-Israelis that are above reproach.

I assure you knuckleheads come in every stripe, in every color, every flavor.

John Brennan is not Jewish.
Barak Obama is not Jewish.
Peter Strzok is not Jewish.
James Comey is not Jewish.
Etc. you get the picture.

When you have criminals, anarchists, predators, they sometimes come in clusters of Jews because Jews stick together but the vast majority of Jews do not stick with Jews that hatch crime schemes. Honest upright Jews stand back and disapprove when they see Jews go off the rails in criminal dealings.

Meyer Lansky was and is not respected among the general Jewish population. Jewish mothers do not raise their children to be like him. Nor do they raise their children to be like Bernie Halfwit Sanders etc. You wouldn’t believe what great parents Jews are to their children, the vast majority of them.

And that’s the problem, there can be faulty sampling when drawing conclusions. When Jewish criminals are caught in crime, they are often found in clusters because they stick together. Honest and law abiding Jews also stick together but they shun the ones that think success is pulling off a clever heist or set of murders.

Germans in the Weimar era didn’t have social media keeping them well-informed and they quickly found Jewish anarchists as a convenient scapegoat for their economic and political ills. Their error was in allowing themselves to believe the false generalization that all Jews fit in with the disgusting anarchist variety. They ignored Jews that had lived in Germany for centuries that had strengthened the moral underpinnings of German society. These Jews were ignored and Hitler was successful in leading enough Germans to believe Jewish bankers were the cause of all ills.

If I was promoting a general theme of dual citizenship compromising loyalty and allegiance to the United States, I would agree that in principle, divided loyalties should prohibit a person from running for office. But I would never focus on only those that stem from Jewish ethnicity, I would focus on all dual citizens in Congress.

Look at Pelosi who claims her Catholic faith never allows her to hate anyone yet she’s for killing babies.

Should I perform a study to see how many so-called Catholics there are in Congress who support killing babies?

Should I generalize baby-killing tendencies to all Catholics?

The problem with your sample of the passports and the focus on dual US-Israeli citizenship is that your sample size is microscopic and does not generalize. To see a problem among such a segment of the population, you would have to access the data on all those that hold both US and Israeli passports and then conduct a knucklehead count.

And you haven’t done that and you are likely incapable of doing that.

So don’t do it.
