According to multiple media reports, former House Republican Mike Rogers is being considered for FBI Director.
There is three Mike Rogers, the one being discussed is the former Chair of the HPSCI, the Mike Rogers who protected Hillary Clinton.
First, all of the reports about a pending FBI Director announcement do not seem feasible. Current FBI Director Christopher Wray has not resigned and still has two years left on his term. President Trump does not take office until after inauguration in January, so he cannot appoint a nomination until after Wray resigns or President Trump (officially in office) fires him.
As a result, all of the reports of a “pending announcement” are seemingly moot. Unless something changes, there will not be one.
All of that said, President Trump is reportedly considering Mike Rogers, the 2024 Republican Senate candidate in Michigan who lost his election last week. [President Trump did endorse Mike Rogers, but he did not win his race.]
According to the media, one article below, President Trump is considering Mike Rogers for FBI Director. Mike Rogers was previously the Chairman of the House Select Committee on Intelligence and has a very corrupt history of whitewashing an “unofficial report” on Benghazi, in order to protect Hillary Clinton. When Chairman Rogers was leading the HPSCI he was in full alignment with the Deep State.
FIRST ON FOX – Will the second time be the charm for one-time Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent and former Rep. Mike Rogers?
Rogers, the 2024 Republican Senate nominee in Michigan who lost his election last week by a razor-thin margin, met Thursday with President-elect Trump’s transition team regarding potentially serving as FBI director in the former and future president’s second administration, sources familiar tell Fox News. The meeting took place at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.
Rogers worked as a special agent with the FBI in its Chicago office and who served as chair of the House Intelligence Committee during the final four years of his decade-long tenure in Congress, was interviewed in 2017 during Trump’s first administration to serve as FBI director after James Comey was dismissed.

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. Rogers then went to work for CNN.
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.

No forking way.
I just posted this on another thread.
MIKE BENZ: “Mike Rogers, who is being considered to head President Trump’s FBI, was not only the head of the Intel Committee behind the CIA’s Russiagate hoax, he was in on the CIA cut-out IRI’s Beacon Project.”
Video:

WATCH — Dave Benner regarding FBI Director selection: “Mike Rogers is [deep state]. He would be an unforgivable choice for FBI Director.
Here he is defending the warrantless surveillance of Americans. “You can’t have your privacy violated if you don’t know your privacy is violated,” he claims.”
https://t.me/THEREALTORIABROOKE/52291
So if you don’t wake up while you’re being raped you were never really raped and it won’t ever bother you in the least.
Furthermore, I consider that the Derp State MUST be destroyed!!
“Mike Rogers is [deep state]”
Garbage
Can you back that up with anything? Anything
Did you watch the videos? Did you read SD’s article?
“With the revelations by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden and reporter Glenn Greenwald, there seem to be only two possibilities regarding claims by House Permanent Intelligence Subcommittee Chairman Mike Rogers: He either boldly lied about the breadth of NSA surveillance of the American people, or he didn’t know and was therefore engaged in incompetent oversight of the NSA.”
Who Lied? Mike Rogers, the NSA, and XKeyscore
https://thenewamerican.com/us/politics/who-lied-mike-rogers-the-nsa-and-xkeyscore/
Very much hoping that the members of the Trump team who read CTH will see this post and immediately warn the President to send Rogers packing!
Sundance, I know that you are not a huge fan of Kash Patel but I assume that you would support him every day of the week and twice on Sunday over Rogers?
Kash.
Admiral Mike Rogers who was integral in uncovering the FISA breach comes to mind. Maybe the media is confused. Just sayin’
more than likely confused on purpose
Yeah, but only because he was covering his own ass!
It’s likely Trump’s ruse.
I am screaming noooooooooooooooooooo! I can’t stand this deep state monster.
Remember there were rumors about Pompeo and Nikki Haley getting key positions not too long ago, until Trump made it very clear those rumors were false.
Much smoke and fog is being sprayed about to confuse and disconcert people.
gooooood a girl !!!!!
Wouldn’t Matt Gaetz or JD Vance know all this about Rogers? I can’t believe that Trump would be so out of the loop.
lets hope this is another head fake …………but have we seen a head fake yet?
I think it is indeed a head fake of sorts. Interview him, learn more about him, get his hopes up…. …. and then say, “Nah, so sorry!”
Romney 2.0
Sadly, nope
Where is suspicious cat?
He hasn’t weighed in.
This is a job for WTFeline!!
Comey 2.0
Don’t do it!
On steroids.
This is an Algers Hiss tier bad call.
More like Romney 2.0
Oblige an interview then send them packing.
How could the TrumpTeam not know who this guy is? Surely….. they do.
No, just no…
…Littleflower ..can I add h*ll no ???
Why do we all of the sudden believe what msm says?Fox is 1 for like 20 now
makes you wonder what blackmail they have on this Mike Rogers
Judging from his corrupt history I’d say that he sounds well qualified to lead the FBI.
Hmm, you have a good point there!
Recall that POTUS “interviewed” for SOS MItt Romney.
You can find out stuff by talking to your enemy.
He even took him to dinner!
That was back when Mitt Romney was still known as Mitt Romney before he switched being known as Pierre Delecto.
Around here in our house, if I ever say “Mitt Romney” my Mom gives me this blank Paddington Bear look until I get my bearings and realize I misspoke; “Pierre Delecto, Pierre Delecto, Pierre Delecto!”
I, for one, believe that Trump knows what he is doing. I went from being a Bernie Bro to voting a straight Republican ticket…if Trump can do that to me there is something special about this man. Do not underestimate him!
I’ll bet a donut that this article has already been read by someone (or more) in MAL.
I hope they have been reading the comments.
Wray will hang on until fired.
President Trump will direct Wray to investigate the 2020 and 2024 election fraud, child trafficking, etc. Wray will balk and drag his feet. President Trump will fire him.
No, FBI will not be getting a new HQ.
I really liked how your post started…Wray will hang…
Think McConnell, Murkowski and Collins all rolled up as Rogers – that’s what you get.
You might as well appoint Obama as there isn’t much difference.
I was hoping there wouldn’t be a new FBI Director, since Trump would eliminate the agency entirely.
IN THE NEW …CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC……
Now you’re talking.
Might need a director to get the ball rolling?
I hope Pres Trump sees this. Thank you.
Hopium doesn’t work.
Nor Doomium.
We got Wray didn’t we? Still trying to undo that horrific choice. How many lives has that monster ruined??
Maybe this was a leak test.
Rogers was probably recommended for FBI by Mike Pence. 😉
It could be fake news or it could be a rumor that President Trump is tracing who leaked….it could be a lot of things, but in any case, someone needs to remind President Trump about this snake in the grass.
It is so frustrating wondering if we can get a message to our leaders about something they need to hear.
Is he setting Rogers up to be savaged and utterly exposed and taken down by MAGA?
MAGA Meme Warriors ACTIVATE!
Furthermore, I consider that the Derp State MUST be destroyed!!
That is what I surmise is happening. A set up so all this comes into the light.
Why in the hell would he consider Rogers for FBI director? Makes no sense at all.
Don’t do it, Mr. President.
I really hope and pray that President Trump does NOT give this guy ANY post within his administration! He took a job with a Hillary Clinton connected firm right after he whitewashed the Benghazi travesty. He got his payoff…
He needs to be GONE GONE GONE away from President Trump! He is bad news.
and he worked for CNN … blasting President Trump at every chance. No way this SLUG should have even been endorsed
That’s an insult to slugs!!!
It seems to me that we are being served up a horrible specter of what could be that will make the nomination of Kash Patel (which might otherwise be nit picked) welcome by contrast.
At least, I hope that is the strategy here.
The Left would nitpick an alternative to Mike Rogers all the more simply because Mike Rogers is their creature and no matter the noises they might make in opposition their hearts have a warm glow at the very thought of him sharpening daggers at the Feeb.
Furthermore, I consider that the Derp State MUST be destroyed!!
Wonder why Rogers lost his race? I’m guessing the people in his state knew he was rotten and couldn’t be trusted.
Being from Michigan, very true. Horrible candidate.
I assume others like me did indeed vote down ballot for him but our cheating SOS…
This is DEFINITELY a time where we do not have to console ourselves with, “I know he’s an oily politician but he’s our oily politician.” President Trump has a genuine mandate from the people to clean and drain the swamp; not into his cabinet or the White House basement. Surely, President Trump can do better!
Sure. Meet with him and feed him misinformation. Maybe that’ll keep the FBI from another assassination attempt in the short term.
Paxton from Texas for FBI director.
Whoever suggested Rogers for this position has got to go NOW! Probably the leaker too.
Not directly related, but can anyone explain to me why i never see the name Cofer Black mentioned anywhere? Like at all?
Nah…Patel all the way.
Meanwhile, a firebrand for press secretary announced — Karoline Leavitt. damn good choice.
I saw Rogers talking to the press the night before the election and he actually claimed he might have an avenue to winning without DJT due to Harris voters choosing him over Slotkin.
I can’t find it…didn’t look real hard because he’s not worth it.
What is this Shyte ????
Either horse or bull.
I suspect Rogers is being considered, in the same way that Romney was considered.
Yikes! How scary. Where is this terrible advice coming from. Those people need to be fired – immediately!
At first I thought it was ADM Mike Rogers (the good guy who warned President Trump of the bugs in the WH).
We need to PRAY, PRAY, PRAY that President Trump gets better advice!
Know your enemy…he knows …..
Adm. Rogers did a good thing but it was done to cover his own behind.
The guy LOOKS like a CROOKED FKG LIAR!
Oh dear, that’s practically racist. 😉
I have read that the left claims that they are already have someone on the inside. I assumed that meant Rubio. Maybe it’s this attempt to push Rogers. I don’t get why Trump still talks to Lindsey Graham. I need to stop taking these stupid leaks as anything real. Trump really needs to figure out who is leaking. I wonder sometimes if he is purposely having his staff leak false names just keep the media off balance and make them look stupid when he names someone else.
In July, Trump intervened for Rogers in a Michigan primary for US Senate. The race, between Rogers and businessman Pensler, was considered divisive to the MAGA movement.
Sundance wrote at the time: “Mike Rogers had better deserve this.”
If I recall Pensler was supported by MAGA folk. Pensler stepped out of the primary. Rogers lost anyway in Nov.

I’m kind of hoping for Clay Higgins. Former Military Police, police, Sheriff, Marshal, and Louisiana Justice Dept. instrumental in cleaning up some of the corrupt law enforcement down in LA. But, most importantly, the guy that blindsided Wray in the J6 hearing by pulling out photographs of the buses used to transport FBI and informants to the Capitol building.
Like Higgins a lot
Navy Admiral Mike S. Rogers, yes.
House Republican Mike Rogers, hell no.
Wasn’t his wife involved in some kind of scandal too? Maybe working for a defense contractor?
Was pretty upset when he supported this traitor for senate
What’s the reason, as Sundance said Wray isn’t going anywhere until his term is up or he bails?
What’s the reason also depends on who is floating the name.
Is this from the Trump camp or the enemy camp?
he can be fired I do believe
Rogers is a slimy swamp lizard. Cant imagine Trump for absolutely any reason would pick him.
who is recommending traitors like this to President Trump?
one would think with all the people in the room, privy to any discussions,
would be able to give a warning……yes?
Especially the FBI. We’ve got Ratcliffe at CIA — we need a good guy at FBI.
President Trump’s heart is in the right place.
His head is far above that of the average bear.
But his hearing is distorted by voices blocking the incomprehensibly vital wisdom and insight of Sundance.
Furthermore, I consider that the Derp State MUST be destroyed!!
No. Please, no.
Might Rogers be reported as a consideration in order to bring the Benghazi story and the corruption
– back into the news?
Dragging Killary kicking and screaming into soul searing sunlight?
🤔
No, the Steele Dossier.
Well, that nomination would knock the chair out beneath Trump. Wray was a terrible choice and this guy would just be Wray times two. It would self-defeating for the President’s future plans to make the decision to let this man run the FBI. I have fully supported all his other nominations, but this one is CRUCIAL to get right (for all of us.) I just can’t see the upside.
if this guy is the nominee … every other nominee just had the wind knocked out of them……………
