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 warned Trump to the anger of the Obama Administration and Rogers shut down the FISA process because of abuses.

I suspect that he may turn out to be a hero of the whole thing and I would expect he knows where the real dirt is hidden.

I consider myself intelligent, yes. I know the difference between drivel and dribble... You see, I’m educated as well.

Your post implies that someone of your knowledge had information on the deep state’s attempt to overthrow our legitimately elected president and chose to hide behind anonymity rather than disclose that evidence. Hell, you typed it, you know what it said.

Just to help a fellow FReeper out, I came from Wyoming.

Again? They reported him dead once before, probably to tell him to shut up.

He’s probably got to ‘die’ now as part of witness protection so he can still be used as a spy.

“This is called selective leaking. Used to make others quake in their boots and turn. Wonder who(or whom, I never know) it will be.”

It will be Clapper. He is a weak link, as he is a wuss and was in WAY over his head. Clapper is like the incompetent mid-level supervisor who was promoted way beyond his skill level just so he could be used as a patsy or foil by his superiors. He’s always had that deer-in-the-headlights look about him.

Hopefully Admiral Rogers has trusted security people around him to make sure he doesn’t get killed by a Clinton loyalist.

I hope Adm Rogers had lawyers with him or they’ll screw him like Flynn.

"It will be Clapper..."

I think it will be Comey. He is such a loser that I can see him as the rat.

Yes, you could be right.

"All roads lead to the brown clown."

Everyone will be really surprised when (if) it is learned that this whole thing was/is a Valerie Jarrett operation.
(I mean, what is she presently doing living with the Obama's?)

Every phone call, email, browser search, etc., that COUP MASTER JOHN BRENNAN EVER HAD is in one or more of these buildings at the NSA's Utah Data Center (UDC)..

If I were Brennan, Comey, Clapper, and the other COUP-CONSPIRATORS, I might have trouble sleeping starting now.

"I think Rosenstein is cooperating too."

I saw Lindsey Graham (in a threatning tone IMO) say, one night, as he was leaving the Sean Hannity Show say, " Oh yea, tell Rosenstein to get ready to testify."

I've wondered what that meant and am I reading it correctly?

There are TWO KEY American patriots on the front line of defense against Obama and Brennan's TREASONOUS ASSAULT on the 2016 election of Donald J. Trump:

ADMIRAL MIKE ROGERS, RET. - HERO!

CONGRESSMAN DEVIN NUNES - HERO!
