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.

Well, He did imply that we were more valuable than a sparrow, BUT, He didn’t say how much more!

[PerConPat]

Correct! Although it’s His alone to determine each individual’s value, I can’t keep from wondering how He regards a bunch of poltroons who would rather desecrate the Constitution than abide a free and fair election—and that goes for both 2016 and 2020.

I don't think there is much of an excuse, at least in this country, where one can claim to have never heard the WORD. (Of course, God will judge everyone's accountability on that). More than likely - they rejected it.

Then you got John2-10 & 11 that would seemingly encompasses the people who vote for the scum! So yes, I would be very concerned if I were them, but THEY are NOT concerned. There is one sad fact about the way people think about Christianly (in it's pure form), it's not a religion, it is reality.

Pelosi certified he was eligible. There should be a price for her to pay for that.

Well put...And I believe there is much ignorance, willful or otherwise, with respect to history. Rejecting the lessons of history is also risky business. When people let their emotions and their desires do their thinking for them, disaster awaits.

The false promise of socialism is so powerful it beguiles many into behavior such as we are seeing at the FBI etc. The deep state has grown up believing there is no limit on bad behavior as long as is it is for “good.”

The Durham investigation may be the last chance to shock the country into a realisation of just how far the liberal termites have infected our republic.

It’s all good...a guy I follow (rich Higgins )was there and he says that Rogers never warned trump....I believe that because Rogers could have spoken up and stopped most of this coup attempt.......that he hasn’t said a word should be enough

[Guenevere]

It’s Christmas and I don’t want to argue with you Sprink....
.....and I do wish you a Merry Christmas

But.......I need to disagree
.....Admiral Rogers DID speak up
...and whoever your friend is, he would not be privy to a conversation of this magnitude !

The coup is being stopped......is stopped

God bless

[cranked]

Brennan, cooperating? Wait, what? I thought he was Joe-badass or something to that degree? Goes to show that when criminal and treasonous prison time is involved, one has to choke down the attitude issues..../s

All I know is that Clapper said twice on cable TV that they were just following Obama’s orders.

If Brennan is betraying Obama, it’s game over.

Now, if Durham/Barr are willing to sacrifice some inner-cities for a indictments against, Rice, Lynch, Hillary and Bammy, maybe we can restore the rule of law and our republic.
