Prior to March 9th, 2016, the political surveillance and spy operations of the Obama administration were using the FBI and NSA database to track and monitor their opposition. However, once the NSA compliance officer began initiating an internal review of who was accessing the system, the CIA and FBI moved to create ex post facto justification for their endeavors. [Full Backstory]
After the November 8th, 2016, election everyone within the Obama network associated with the Trump surveillance operation was at risk. This is the impetus for the “Muh Russia” conspiracy narrative that was used as a mitigating shield. Within a few days after the election ODNI James Clapper and CIA Director John Brennan began pushing the Russia election interference narrative in the media.
Without notifying anyone, NSA Director Mike Rogers went to Trump tower on November 18th, 2016. Despite his compartmentalization it appears Rogers identified the NSA database abuse as likely the underpinning for some form of political surveillance.
By mid-December 2016 the Obama administration was deploying a full-court-press using their media allies to promote the Russia conspiracy. However, despite their public proclamations Clapper and Brennan were refusing to give any specifics to congress.
The hard narrative was that Russia interfered. That was the specific push from within the Obama intelligence apparatus writ large. All IC officials, sans Mike Rogers (NSA), had a self-interest in pushing this narrative; after all, it was the defensive mechanism to justify their illegal spying operation throughout 2016. This was their insurance policy.
The media was doing their part, and using the information leaked to them by those who were part of the 2016 operation(s), began battering the Trump transition team every hour of every day with questions about the Russia hacking narrative; thereby fertilizing the seeds of a collusion conspiracy.

Every time I hear them talk about "17 security agencies", I think to myself "may as well go for as big a number as possible...sounds impressive." Technically, this is just semantics since the ODNI's role is to organize and coordinate the efforts of the other 16 IC agencies. Further, there never was 17 distinct agencies that investigated Russia as being behind hacks and independently made a conclusion about it. However, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence speaks on behalf of these group so therefore, there was 17 security agencies who all agree. See how easy it is to make the number seem a tad more impressive? How many actually had anything to do with it? Three...CIA, NSA and FBI.

I keep hearing this kind of "any day now" tick tick BOOM! bull shit.
Do I remember correctly that Bammmy fired Rogers the day after Rogers informed President-Elect Trump of Obama’s spying?
I don’t think that Admiral Mike was fired.
I don’t think Rogers was fired. The ceremony of him leaving and Nakasone assuming his position wouldn’t be typical if he had been fired. And it happened more than a year after Trump was sworn in. The firing thing doesn’t make sense.
Admiral Mike Rogers is a true American patriot. Thanks for the reminder of how he stepped in to help save the rule of law in the USA.
