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.

Rogers needs armed guards, 24/7. Seriously.

*This* is interesting as Rogers was the one honorable enough to go to Trump and tell him his campaign was being wiretapped at Trump Tower.

If your “letter entity who cannot be named” had any information about anything that might right the ship of state and did not expose that information clearly and publicly “back in July” then it’s a traitor to the nation, and should be publicly executed.

I was wondering about this. He must have a lot of knowledge on the subject.

If any outfit knows where all the proverbial bodies are buried, I reckon it’d be the NSA.

Do you consider yourself intelligent with that dribble.

Expose what?

Obviously the justice department is well aware that they have been talking to Admiral Rogers. I really have wonder where you people come from.

I don’t doubt his untimely death, but IIRC, he supposedly left a video deposition with his lawyer.
