Last month, Daily Beast national security correspondent Eli Lake reported that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers had “warned his colleagues about the upcoming select committee to investigate Benghazi.” In interviews Rogers “downplayed” the testimony CIA contractors gave in closed session, Lake noted, and has said he did not believe the CIA had stonewalled his committee. Lake reported that “the chairmen of the House Intelligence, Armed Services, and Government Reform committees — Reps. Rogers, Buck McKeon, and Darrell Issa, respectively — all opposed the formation of a select committee on Benghazi.”
Sussing out the White House’s response to Benghazi is a critical step in clearing the shadows from the incident, but there are other players in the drama as well, including Rep. Rogers, and possibly also including a private military contracting firm that until recently was run by his wife, Kristi Rogers. Mike and Kristi Rogers are quintessential Washington insiders. A seven-term Republican from Michigan, Mike Rogers climbed the political ladder to become chairman of the Intelligence Committee in January 2011. Kristi Rogers, after years of government service in mid-level administrative positions, moved to the private sector, joining the British-based security contractor Aegis Defense Services to help open its U.S. subsidiary.

So it’s all about the $$$ flowing through their pockets?
This is not new news. It has been out there and occasionally brought to this board.
Rogers is a fixture of Big Government. Don’t expect anything from him.
I’ve heard this all over the place —Rogers is an ultra-Establishment guy and he has no interest in tangible justice at all.
A complete lackey lickspittle.
this turn coat is retiring..... He has filled his cup and is now going to try the radio gig. Fair enough to leave while the leaving is good. But don’t pretend that you care about the country or our safety with the kind of crapola that this guy has been for
He’s in the McCain/Graham camp.
Funny thing is that the guy he’s backing against Justin Amash in Michigan is down 20 points despite all the big names and chamber of commerce money.
Look at him. Do you trust him? Uhm no. He is the problem. He’s on a payroll.
Yes, they have something on him.
Yes, they have something on him
Sounds like it to me. No wonder he quit.
Yup and more’s the shame
