Former President Trump endorses ex-congressman Mike Rogers for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat
The Memory Hole spits one back.
[Just The News] Former President Donald Trump on Monday endorsed ex-congressman Mike Rogers for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat in a crowded race.

Trump posted on his Truth Social account Monday, "Highly respected former Congressman Mike Rogers is running for the United States Senate from the Great State of Michigan. Mike has served his Country during a career loaded up with accolades and wins, from the Army to Congress, and now, hopefully, the U.S. Senate.

"Mike will work closely with me to enact our America First Policies," Trump continued. "He will tirelessly fight to Secure the Border, Stop Inflation, Grow the Economy, Strengthen our Military / Veteran Support, and Protect and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment. Mike Rogers will be a Great and Powerful Senator for Michigan, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement. HE KNOWS HOW TO WIN!"

Rogers left Congress in 2015. He's backed by the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
He knows where the bodies are buried. What else could we do ?
According to an MRG poll late last month, Rogers is leading former Rep. Peter Meijer, R-Mich., by 16 percentage points. Meijer voted to impeach Trump in 2021. Former Rep. Justin Amash, who left the GOP to become an independent in 2019, has announced his Republican candidacy for the Senate seat last month, according to The Hill.

#1 This guy and his wife Kristi are bad juju. The smelly old DOS security contract awards must have been forgiven...or forgotten. She resigned from Aegis LLC and he suddenly left the congress soon after. Aegis' SAS veteran Tim Spicer knew what he was doing when he brought her on board.

Before Rogers unexpectedly left the Congress (to start his own small business and spend more time with the family), he was the head of the prestigious House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPCSI), you should be able to assemble the missing pieces.

Helpful clue: When you think of the UK's Aegis LLC, think Air America. Former FBI 'Special Agent'? Yes of course.

Link to 2013 story.

So it seems rather interesting to note that Rogers’ wife, Kristi Clemens Rogers, was, until recently, the president and CEO of Aegis LLC a “security” defense contractor company, whom she helped to secure a $10 billion (with a b) contract with the State Department. The company describes itself as “a leading private security company, provides government and corporate clients with a full spectrum of intelligence-led, culturally-sensitive security solutions to operational and development challenges around the world.”

#2 Am not a fan of Rogers. But there were only three candidates to support. And the other two were worse.

#3 Ken Buck, RINO-CO just resigned from congress. Is he bailing from a scandal or trying to sabotage the slim R majority in the house ahead of the election?
