I’m not knowledgeable enough about all the candidates running for the Senate seat in Michigan, but if the most likely candidates to exit the Republican primary are Justin Amash, Pete Meijer or Mike Rogers, then the ‘hold your nose’ and choose Mike move might make sense. Other than that, Mitch McConnell is likely smiling because Senator Mike Rogers and Senator Adam Schiff will likely be two more arrows in the SSCI ‘Stop Trump’ quiver for 2025.
Former House Intel Chairman Mike Rogers has picked up the endorsement of President Trump; essentially sealing his likelihood to win the Michigan senate primary. Unfortunately, Rogers is very connected to the Deep State intelligence community apparatus. Devin Nunes replaced Rogers after the Michigan representative retired from congress in ’14.
Mike Rogers together with Democrat Rep Dutch Ruppersberger, were infamous for generating the report that defended the CIA and Deep State during the Benghazi aftermath and protecting Hillary Clinton {GO DEEP}. 👀 CTH took apart the report that was created by Rogers and Ruppersberger without the other members of the intelligence committee participating.
Annoyingly, Rogers has a long history of helping to assist and create the national security “surveillance state.” SEE HERE and SEE HERE and SEE HERE. Perhaps he has changed in the decade since he was one of the primary advocates for the Deep State and the creation of the 4th branch of government; however, I doubt it.
I also doubt that President Trump was advised about the nature of Mike Rogers and his ideological outlook toward supporting the National Security state. Rogers has a life-long history of supporting the very institutional actors who targeted President Trump, so it’s a little hard to see him supporting President Trump in the second term.
The 2014 Rogers/Ruppersberger Report was specifically designed, by wording, to provide political cover to both parties – Republicans and Democrats within the Gang of Eight particularly included and protected.
It is professional obfuscation in structure, content and wording. Here’s an example: Page #2
This is an excellent paragraph to show how the entire 37 page document is strategically worded.
…” no evidence […] wrongly forced to sign a nondisclosure agreement“
This wording intimates that none were signed. Not correct. We know nondisclosures were required. This phrasing simply says none were “wrongly forced“. Where the intelligence community/committee determines rightly and wrongly.
…”or polygraphed because of their presence in Benghazi“
Again, this doesn’t say that intelligence officials were not polygraphed, only that the auspices for their polygraphs was not a result of their knowledge in Benghazi. Again where the intelligence community (IC) determines the valid auspices.
…”The committee also found no evidence that the CIA conducted unauthorized activities in Benghazi”…
Parseltongue. The word emphasized is “unauthorized“, meaning all of the activity was known, active, and authorized. As expected, and outlined within The Brief.
…”and no evidence that the IC shipped arms to Syria“.
BIG parseltongue. Note the absence of the word “direct” or “directly“.
Of course we sent arms to Syria, the administration admitted to sending arms to Syria, just not “directly”, which is the keen distinction within the paragraph. This aspect was also critical to include because Hillary Clinton testified to a Rand Paul question about it.
Donald Trump just endorsed the worst Deep State candidate this cycle. @MikeRogersForMI is a never Trumper, and a card carrying member of the spy state that seeks to destroy Trump.
You have to ask yourself who gives Trump this awful advice?

The entire Rogers/Ruppersberger “Panel Report”, which is not to say the report was done by the entire House Intelligence Committee – because it was not, was similarly worded.
Mike Rogers and Dutch Ruppersberger together, and alone, pulled data from all of the various committee reports and assembled their own “panel report”. This key aspect was lost in the Benghazi conversation, only Rogers and Ruppersberger authored this report.
The reason for that key aspect of authorship missing, within analytical discussion of the content therein, begins the conversation of motive.
With Senate committees in 2014 about to come under Republican leadership, Rogers and Ruppersberger had a motivation to put out a report which could be used by their party allies to avoid scrutiny.
In addition, with Rep Trey Gowdy’s Chairmanship of a Select Committee on Benghazi starting up in January 2015, and with House Intel Chair Rogers exiting from congress, the authors of the report held a motive to proactively undercut Gowdy’s investigation into missing oversight that would normally be part of Rogers/Ruppersberger’s responsibility.
For the Democrats, Hillary Clinton was given a talking point shield she utilized for her future political ambitions; and boy howdy did she use it.
In exchange, for Republicans, House and Senate leadership gained a shield of avoidance from sunlight upon their own complicit knowledge.
In addition, it was reported in 2014 that Mike Rogers had ambitions to launch a talk radio show – this report allowed him to retain credibility and avoid sunlight upon his own complicity as a member of the “Gang of Eight”, and chair of the House Intelligence Committee during the State/CIA Benghazi operation. In short: Mike Rogers hid his willful blindness.
If you read the Rogers/Ruppersberger report, we invite you to look at the factual constructs of The Full Benghazi Brief. Within the brief you will see the fully connected dots which explain the risks, liabilities and willful blindness, trying to be hidden by publication of the Rogers report. CTH predicted exactly that outcome at the end of the brief.
Boy howdy, Mitch knows how to work the system….
If Mike Rogers and Adam Schiff both succeed, you can see the framework of the SSCI taking shape against Trump in 2025 😬 https://t.co/rbCy5SyadY

Trump doesn’t see the knife going through his back again! If McConnell is smiling, we will be crying!
Trump is starting endorsing and supporting RINOS and not even elected yet. First he accepts McConnell Fake endorsement and now endorsees the anti TRUMP, deep state and Uniparty member Mike Rogers for Senate in MI. Could not have made a worse endorsement other than Mittens? What the hell is WRONG with this guy and personnel picks?? He has snakes already in his campaign and does not know it. The guy just NEVER learns!!! Hate to think what his ADM will be ike if elected???
And, so, why should I not be extremely disappointed by this endorsement? Oh, Trump is just playing 3D chess. He knows what he is doing. Really? More of this and it will be the same old same old…all the turmoil and drama of his last administration distracting from all he (and we) want to accomplish. I appreciate the need for a majority but how exactly does continuing to re-elect Uniparty members help long term?
He’s still making bad choices.
It’s never the fault of the voters, is it?
In what sense? In putting Mike Rogers up there in the first place? For sure.
Told y’all so yesterday when I didn’t like PDJT going back on his word regarding banning TikTok. I said it wasn’t really about TikTok and that it showed a preview of Trump flip flopping and that he will not destroy the Deep State or the RINOS or DemonRats as we want and expect him to do because he wants to be loved and respected by them. That’s been his weakness wanting love and respect from his enemies. I was bashed by a lot of comments saying I was a troll or etc… all I was trying to say is that Trump will not do what we expect or want him to do so don’t get too excited or too depressed just keep your emotions leveled. If Trump does most or all that we expect him to do then that’s awesome for MAGA then we can nod approvingly. But if he does more foolish stuff like endorsing people like Mike Rogers then we should not get sad because we know that Trump will do dumb stuff like this that will destroy MAGA in the long run.So don’t drink the kool aid and expect miracles to happen. It ain’t happening. Just leave the kool aid alone on the table and carry on smartly. Vote Trump but don’t expect good or bad things to happen. Just watch the show and leave the kool aid alone.
The tiktok thing is one issue and he is on the right side now, for the wrong reasons but that’s OK. Govt has no business telling us which social media we can use.
Concern troll.
Kool aid drinker
I can’t disagree with you at all. Choosing the right people around him has always been Trump’s biggest weakness. It may be that the best the GOP has to offer turns out to be the least gruesome choice available until the weeds are cleared. OTOH, the early purge at the RNC seems to be, at the moment, a good indicator that there are better choices out there than we have seen so far. Still, lets see who ends up actually working in the RNC so we know that purge isn’t a head fake. MAGA, as in lets change the direction of the GOP, has been around since the internet was created in 1995. Despite bribes, betrayals and speed bumps, it is still around and getting stronger. So who will replace Donald in 4 years?
Maga will not save your soul. Trump cannot deliver you where and when it’s most needed. The constitution is flawed and has allowed the cesspool we’re floating in to develop. Sorry to be a black pill but we keep seeing the evidence and continue to rely on the same things and people that enabled it.
Your prayer power is the only life raft you have out of this sinking vessel. The R party is as sick and deceptive as the D. Get over this false hope of reform, judgement is our way out and we’d better be ready for it. No sleeping… get your soul ready.
Trump needs to learn that he does not need to endorse a candidate he is not thoroughly happy with. His endorsement is not a requirement!!
@sundance there is only one question and answer that I would like to know about PDJT. Why is Sundance not an advisor or researcher for PDJT and why is Sundance not in direct contact with Trump and not through any middleman or middle women or any other gatekeepers? MAGA is too important to have people like Mike Rogers being endorsed by Trump. The country is at stake and Sundance lives in Florida like Trump so he has to use his connections to try and become an advisor or researcher for Trump immediately.
And you know he’s not because???
Because Trump just endorsed Mike Rogers.
Because Trump endorsed Mike Rogers. Sundance would have said no to Trump on the endorsing Rogers
I’m voting for Trump and, in general, support his policies but I think his vanity is an Achilles heel. He routinely makes bad judgments about ppl who end up stabbing him in the back. The current republican rep is horrible as well – voted for Trump’s impeachment. Why endorse at all?
Exactly. I worry about these things. I would hate to be in a position where I vote for someone only because they are the lessor of more bad options.
The Achilles Heel of Trump I was his appointments, all the way up to his pick for VP. If he doesn’t improve them Trump 2 is going to be more of the same.
I am amazed we are even going back and forth on the Demon-crats/RINO Uniparty…. its all a scam. And no one is going to get in with Mcconnel career politicians & 17 spy agencies!!
Moves and countermoves. Keep the popcorn close folks. Trump is no fool and it’s not his plan anyway….only after the fat lady sings will we have the 40,000 foot view. Heck, even then we won’t have the full picture. Trust God, not man. WWG1WGA
Yes, continue eating popcorn and laughing at memes. That’ll get everything set straight. Trusty the planny.
President Trump is for the little people so why does he not listen to them? Too often I come on here (please don’t think I’m calling you less than what you are) reading credible reasons why or why not he should do something. I just don’t get it. Listen and learn. No one is too knowledgeable that they can’t learn of a mistake.. Listen to the voters why don’t you.
I have been a huge Trump supporter. His support for the Covid vaccines, er, bioweapons, and his dubious endorsements, along with other inconsistencies are starting to wear on me. I am now wondering if Trump is not simply “controlled resistance” to keep the population from exploding in open armed revolt before the government can disarm us. How many of you are having these thoughts as well? Time is running out. Is it not better to die on your feet than to live on your knees?
Please send this to PDJT!
McConnell has Sold Out the USA so many
times that I lost count.
MAGA Michigan needs to find a MAGA candidate ASAP and put them up STAT.
And every single one of them needs to send President Trump a message immediately letting him know this is not a good pick for him or anyone else, and MAGA will make sure he loses.
It’s a Death Warrant.
This is one area that President Trump needs to start running by We The People First. It is not HIS choice it is OURS. They represent US not HIM.
On another note, when I look up Mike Rogers on Wikipedia, has him in Alabama. How does he run in Michigan? Rhetorical of course, but Michiganders should reject him.
Think back to 2018. Trump was newly elected and had just taken his oath of office. Every president before him was allowed recess appointments to his staff that needed Senate confirmation, but not President Trump. To block recess appointments took all 100 Senators to block it. It had to be unanimous, 100% of the Senate. One Senator could have stood up and said no, this is not right. JUST ONE! Rand Paul was there. Why did he not back President Trump then? Because he, like the rest of these scumbags, is a fraud!
Trump has a habit of choosing deep staters, then, those deep staters out themselves as the opposition. I was hoping this new term, he’d pick only MAGA players.
