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.

RE: post 67

How many different countries?

Is there one country as a common denominator?

Can this be a factor in their Oath of Office?

Do any of these countries require the person to renounce their citizenship of the USA to get the passport?

Without Rogers’ heads up the president probably would have been entrapped.

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?

Good memory. Hannity's show that night was about the FISA abuse. Rosenstein signed one of those FISA documents, so it would make sense that Graham would threaten that.

That was music to my ears when Graham said that about that weasel. I think Rosey thought he was off the hook when Barr was all flattery at his retirement celebration earlier this year.

Here is that clip about Graham threatening Rosenstein.

Graham: "One more thing. Mr Rosenstein, get ready.......

Maybe this guy?

AUGUST 2017 : () A memo circulated by Rich Higgins, a National Security Council staffer who was fired by H.R. McMaster, apparently outlined some of the key “deep state” players who would like nothing more than to see Trump gone — players that included “globalists, bankers, Islamists and establishment Republicans,” according to a copy of the document, obtained by Breitbart.

Franken, Lautenberg, Lieberman, Boxer, Frank, Giffords, Rothman, Waxman, Weiner, etc.

That's an impressive list of people who are dead or in retirement.

Yup. I have seen several interviews with Rogers, and he “ knows where the bodies are buried,” so to speak. He is an invaluable source of deep state info.

I didn’t find anything that isn’t generally available on Google.

I don’t know who you are, but you’re the first and ONLY one I’ve seen who dismisses Admiral Rogers

I find this...odd.....and insulting

Are you sure you’re on the right forum
