The short answer is no; he did not.

Was NSA Director Mike Rogers aware that political spying was conducted through the use of searches on the NSA database?  Yes.  Did NSA Director Mike Rogers take action in April 2016 to stop the searches within the NSA database that were entirely due to political surveillance?  Yes.

Six months later, October 20, 2016, the extensive review of all the political surveillance searches done from November of 2015 to April of 2016 was completed; the NSA compliance officer briefed Director Rogers. Six days later on October 26, 2016, NSA Director Mike Rogers then informed the FISA court of the unlawful searches and his action to address the issue.

One month later on November 17th, 2016, NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers went to see President-Elect Donald Trump in Trump Tower, New York.  –SEE HERE– Director Rogers never told his boss DNI, James Clapper.  The very next day, Friday November 18, 2016, The Washington Post reported on a recommendation in “October” that Mike Rogers be removed from his NSA position.

“The heads of the Pentagon and the nation’s intelligence community have recommended to President Obama that the director of the National Security Agency, Adm. Michael S. Rogers, be removed.  The recommendation, delivered to the White House last month, was made by Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter and Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr., according to several U.S. officials familiar with the matter.  […]  In a move apparently unprecedented for a military officer, Rogers, without notifying superiors, traveled to New York to meet with Trump on Thursday at Trump Tower. That caused consternation at senior levels of the administration, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal personnel matters.”

Notice how the WaPo conflates the two issues. (1) Meeting with Trump (Nov), and (2) the recommendation to fire him (Oct).  The October recommendation to fire Rogers was likely based on the outcome of his decision to fully stop “about queries” of the NSA database and speak to the FISA court.

The recommendation to fire Rogers preceded his visit to Donald Trump, though the IC effort may have provided some additional motivation for the Rogers visit itself.

NSA Director Mike Rogers traveled to New York November 17, 2016, when a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) was set up for President-elect Trump to use following the November 8, 2016, election.

The next day, November 18, 2016, the Trump Transition Team announced they were moving all transition activity to Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. –SEE HERE– Where they interviewed and discussed the most sensitive positions to fill.  Specifically, Defense, State, CIA and ODNI.

I have been asked to recap some of my research into cited formats of what I believe to be criminal conduct, with specific statutes against them. This is the fifth.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard is not a lawyer. While I may be wrong, I find Tulsi Gabbard to be a patriot. Mrs. Gabbard is focused on providing evidence to the DOJ that essentially forces action. I support Tulsi Gabbard’s efforts.

What is the bigger threat to our nation?

♦ Russiagate, where the Hillary Clinton campaign manufactured a dirty political story during a presidential election that was supported by Barack Obama and the DOJ/FBI?

OR…

♦ Spygate, where full spectrum political surveillance was conducted on all political opposition using government access to the NSA database that contains the private metadata of every American citizen?

If you are a person of stable and reasonable mindset, you likely identify the second issue as a much bigger threat.  Not only is using the NSA database to conduct illegal surveillance a bigger threat; but it is also a threat that remains as current declassified FISA court statements show the NSA database is still being exploited.

Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, I would argue the first issue, Russiagate, is intentionally being leveraged as a shiny thing to stop people from realizing the second, much more unlawful issue took place.

Focusing on “Russiagate” leads you to a political storyline that is: harder to outline as unlawful, easily obfuscated, downplayed and subsequently dismissed.  Focusing on the use of the NSA database to spy on people is simple to understand, completely unlawful and in stunningly unconstitutional when contrast against 4th amendment protections.

If you have followed the construct of the Trump-Russia collusion story, you are likely outraged that accountability has not followed.  There’s a very frustrating reason for that, and I will explain how two distinctly different issues are being conflated.  Separating them is the key.

The first issue is the FBI’s illegal surveillance of presidential candidates, including candidate Donald Trump.  The second issue is the Clinton campaign inspired Russia-Collusion story, that led to Crossfire Hurricane, colloquially known as “Russiagate.”  All investigative emphasis, including John Durham, has been on the latter which takes you into a DC silo construct where all tentacles lead to dead ends and inaction.

Russiagate was a Clinton-inspired political smear campaign that was given the patina of credibility by the FBI opening the investigation called “Crossfire Hurricane.”  If you focus on that storyline, you end up with zero accountability and endless talk that goes nowhere.

However, if President Trump and DNI Tulsi Gabbard reveal the first element, the FBI’s illegal surveillance of candidate Donald Trump, that path has a physical trail and documents that cannot be deflected by political obfuscation.

♦THE FBI SURVEILLANCE – The original agreement between Clinton and Obama, going back to 2008, was for Obama to take the nomination, the presidency and then eventually support Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election bid.

Obama would be President. Obama would appoint Clinton to Secretary of State, Hillary would then use her office to build wealth for herself and her family, and then HRC would exit the Dept of State to begin her presidential run.

John Podesta would enter the Obama administration as Hillary left (post Benghazi mess) in 2013.  Podesta would look out for Hillary’s interests from his position inside the Obama White House.  The Clintons and Obamas never fully trusted each other.

Barack Obama would put all the mechanisms into place that would transition his administration into Hillary Clinton’s.  That was always the plan running in the background.

You may remember the year 2017, the first year of President Trump’s first term in office when the entire Main Justice, FBI and Intelligence Community apparatus was leaking manufactured, sometimes classified information, to the media.

Against President Trump’s furious demands, the Dept of Justice, Jeff Sessions, Rod Rosenstein and Dana Boente announced a widespread ‘whole of govt’ effort to find the leakers in an effort to stop the outflow.

The leakers were later identified, albeit never prosecuted, as top DOJ, FBI and Intelligence Community (DNI, CIA) officials.  However, the insufferable hunt for them was also shown to be mostly nonsense, because the apparatus of DC just didn’t care.

With orange Hitler in the White House, the Washington DC Uniparty didn’t care how he was taken out – they just wanted him gone.  We all remember it well.

In the latest release of information, from FBI Director Kash Patel to John Solomon, part of the leak hunting files has been made public. [SEE HERE].  I would note, the FBI file constructs are intentionally obtuse, because: (a) they come from multiple silos by design; and (b) they don’t outline a useful timeline to tell the story.  This is done on purpose.

Now, before the Q-adherents and alt-media clickbait crowd start to generate false-hope soundbites and column inches from the data, let me be crystal clear:

Absolutely nothing will come of this release, AND that cannot be emphasized enough; because in the final analysis, evidence released to John Solomon – is, by its nature – never going to be used in court proceedings.

If the DOJ and FBI planned to use the evidence in court, they would not be giving it to their clickbait friends in media.

That said, here’s some first review perspectives on the release anyway.

FBI Director Kash Patel appeared on Fox News Business with Larry Kudlow to discuss the current status of several FBI efforts, including the targeting of international terrorists.

Within the interview, Director Patel notes there is an ongoing review of any/all information that surrounds the weaponized use of the FBI under previous leadership.  Kudlow narrows in on the FBI raid to Mar-a-Lago, and digs down for details as to whether Patel is investigating the targeting of President Trump post 2020 election.  WATCH:

.

In recent joint appearances with Kash Patel, there appeared to be frustration by President Trump as the Director waxed philosophically about the excellence of his agency while the American electorate looked on with great suspicion.  Shortly thereafter came an announcement that Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey would be joining the FBI leadership team as a Co-Deputy Director.

The current appearances by Director Patel follow the announcement of Bailey’s addition to the team.

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard continues her effort to deconstruct the politicization of the intelligence community with the revocation of security clearances from 37 intelligence analysts.  Many of these names are from the fraudulent Intelligence Community letter that dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation.

In a Twitter announcement today, DNI Gabbard posts a notification letter that the security clearances are revoked effective immediately. Most of the names on the list are unknown to the general public, but these are the people buried deep inside the intelligence information system who are tasked with interpreting intelligence data.

The names on the list come mostly from the staff pool of the National Security Council (NSC), CIA National Intelligence Council (NIC), State Dept. and various sub-silos within the offices that deliver finished intelligence products to the CIA, FBI Counterintelligence Division, NSA intelligence analysis center and ultimately the DNI and White House.

These are the sources of politicized, often manufactured, intelligence interpretations.

When former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, DNI James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan said, “give me this outcome,” the targeted names today are the people who constructed the fraud.  Some of the names, like Beth Sanner, are currently working as “National Security Analysts” for various media operations, like CNN.

Several names on the list are former intelligence analysts who signed the letter manufactured by former Acting CIA Director Mike Morrell about the Biden laptop.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has announced his resignation from the state AG position to take a role at the top of the FBI silo.   Pam Bondi has appointed Andrew Bailey as Co-Deputy FBI Director to serve alongside Dan Bongino.

This outcome and appointment make a lot of sense. Missouri AG Andrew Bailey helped expose the DHS manipulation of social media and has pushed the envelope against the Deep State/Lawfare attacks against Donald Trump.

Bailey has used the power of his office for good purposes and provided cautious optimism he could do the same at a federal level in the position. {GO DEEP}

Two weaknesses with the appointment of Kash Patel and Dan Bongino were that neither of them had large institutional leadership experience, and neither had organized long investigative processes within the legal system.  The concerns therein were never about intent, but rather, their ability.

Andrew Bailey provides a boost in experience that both the Director and Deputy are lacking.  This is not a slight against Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, the appointment of a subject matter expert is strategically necessary.

AG ANDREW BAILEY  Press Release – […] “Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced today that he will resign effective on September 8, 2025.

“It has been a humbling privilege to serve as the 44th Attorney General of the State of Missouri, and I am forever grateful to the people of Missouri for the opportunity to represent our state and your families. My life has been defined by a call to service, and I am once again answering that call, this time at the national level. But wherever I am called, Missouri is and always will be home,” said Attorney General Bailey. “I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to serve as the Co-Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I extend my deepest gratitude to President Trump and U.S. Attorney General Bondi for the privilege to join in their stated mission to Make America Safe Again.”

I have been asked to recap some of my research into cited formats of what I believe to be criminal conduct, with specific statutes against them. This is the fourth.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard is not a lawyer. While I may be wrong, I find Tulsi Gabbard to be a patriot. Mrs. Gabbard is focused on providing evidence to the DOJ that essentially forces action. I support Tulsi Gabbard’s efforts.

If there is one corrupt DC player who has escaped scrutiny for her corrupt endeavors, it would be Mary McCord.

More than any other Lawfare operative within Main Justice, Mary McCord sits at the center of every table in the manufacturing of cases against Donald Trump. {GO DEEP} Mary McCord’s husband is Sheldon Snook; he was the right hand to the legal counsel of Chief Justice John Roberts.

When the Carter Page FISA application was originally assembled by the FBI and DOJ, there was initial hesitancy from within the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) about submitting the application, because it did not have enough citations in evidence (the infamous ‘Woods File’).  That’s why the Steele Dossier ultimately became important.  It was the Steele Dossier that provided the push, the legal cover needed for the DOJ-NSD to submit the application for a Title-1 surveillance warrant against the campaign of Donald J. Trump.

When the application was finally assembled for submission to the FISA court, the head of the DOJ-NSD was John Carlin.  Carlin quit working for the DOJ-NSD in late September 2016 just before the final application was submitted (October 21,2016).  John Carlin was replaced by Deputy Asst. Attorney General, Mary McCord.

♦ When the FISA application was finally submitted (approved by Sally Yates and James Comey), it was Mary McCord who did the actual process of filing the application and gaining the Title-1 surveillance warrant.
