Admiral Mike Rogers-Unsung Hero

  One of the many uncovered stories in the media--including Fox--is the story of Admiral Mike Rogers, head of the NSA who is retiring in a few months.
  The Last Refuge has covered the service of Admiral Rogers.
  If you'll recall, there was quote a stir when Rogers went to visit Trump on November 17, 2016.
  Why?
  Because we now believe that Admiral Rogers was apparently the only head of a US government security agency who was willing to let Trump in on the secret that he was being--and had been--surveilled in his own quarters.
   After Rogers visit, Trump promptly moved his operating headquarters On November 18 from Trump Tower to his golf club in New Jersey.
  Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper wanted the Admiral fired because of "performance issues," according to US News & World Report. They also had complaints that they were concerned about a "division" in deciding how to handle intelligence matters among the heads of the departments.
Meanwhile, the 57-year-old admiral's recent trip to New York to meet with President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday also caused "consternation" for the Obama administration, the Post said, in part because it appears unprecedented for an officer like Rogers to conduct such a meeting and not inform his superiors.
   Earlier in the year, you may recall that Devin Nunes held a press conference after being called to the White House to receive certain unidentified information. The Last Refuge, which has the best rundown I've read on this situation reminds us:
House Intelligence Committee Chairman, Devin Nunes, then held a brief press conference  and stated he has been provided intelligence reports brought to him by unnamed sources that include ‘significant information’ about President-Elect Trump and his transition team.
   So the information was seeping out.
   Sundance writes that he/she believes that Rogers learned of the subterfuge in 2016, told the court on October 26 of the violations, then made this unscheduled visit to Trump Tower without informing those snakes who were working on destroying Trump from within the country.
  This is a story of enormous importance that needs to be told. Sundance's post at The Last Refuge is well worth reading in its entirety.
  Maybe somewhere down the line we'll hear this story more broadly. As for now, its doubtful.
  One thing's for certain.
  We do owe a vote of thanks to Admiral Rogers for his service and, IMHO, to Sundance at The Last Refuge for his/her tireless reportage & insight
  There's more on General Flynn's story too, over there
  There's a reason Trump has surrounded himself with military leaders and his own security team.

  1. I read something about this or maybe heard someone refer to it in a video but it didn't sink in. Well done. You're more perceptive than I am.

  2. Not really. Think about how much we've had to process day after day; how do you separate truth from falsehood, given the reliability of current news tellers & cycles? It's crazy, not to mention confusing, given the Wikileaks, White House leaks, FBI leaks, liars in the Democrat & Republican parties. At this point, would ANYTHING surprise you? So #thestorm, #followthewhiterabbit....I'm doin' it.
