| Former NSA Director is cooperating with the Durham investigation |
| 2019-12-21 |
| That sound you heard was the simultaneous slamming shut of Obama/Rice/Comey/Clapper/Brennan sphincters. Rogers appears to be the only ethical man in this [Hot Air] Earlier today Ed noted that John Durham's investigation was taking a close look at former CIA Director John Brennan and his involvement with the Steele dossier. This afternoon, the Intercept reports that former NSA Director Mike Rogers is cooperating with the investigation and has already met with Durham several times. 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. It's a bit hard to tease out but it appears that there is some bad blood between Rogers and former Defense Secretary Ash Carter as well as former director of national intelligence James Clapper. In November of 2016, after Trump's election, the NY Times reported that Obama was considering firing Rogers from his post at NSA and was being urged to do so by Carter and Clapper... |

| #13 Five Eyes has to go. Too much downside for it to be otherwise. |

| #12 What did ValJar and 0 know and when did they know it? |

| #11 Do not forget the departure of the British Director of their NSA equivalent immediately after the Trump inauguration. It was remarked on at the time how early in his term he chose to depart for “family reasons”. Seems like a desire to get away from a possible blast radius early on. It figures deeply in the five eyes mess Brennan and ValJar dragged them into. |

| #5 I recall some discussion in the media about internecine fights between 3-letter agencies sometime back. This might bode well for Flynn. Have been disappointed in Judge Sullivan's decisions up to now. |

| #4 Farming out signals collection to the Brits? Not a bad notion unless you're targeting US Citizens here in CONUS. Whichever analyst or team, brought this non-trivial anomaly to the attention of the DNSA, thank you. To the DNSA, who had the courage to alert the Orange Man, thank you as well. One must wonder if NSA was invited to the party by the Klingons, but declined. |

| #1 Good news. Could be tide turning. This, plus the end of Schiff/Pelosi's theatrics = not the Beginning of the End [of the you-know-what]. But maybe the End of the Beginning. As in 1942, perhaps great victories in store for 2020? |
