Meet Rep. Mike Rogers: Crony Capitalist & Warfare State Benghazi Blowhard
Submitted by Mike Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
For those of you who don’t know Congressman Mike Rogers, he is the Representative hailing from Michigan’s Eighth District. He is also one of the biggest blowhard, chicken-hawk defenders of unconstitutional NSA spying in all of Washington D.C.
Back in 2012, he gave his support to internet spy bill CISPA by proclaiming: “Stand for America! Support this bill!” Naturally, this clown would also serve as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
Rogers is notorious for being one of the staunchest critics of Glenn Greenwald. For example, earlier this year he made up all sort of lies about Greenwald in an attempt to smear the journalist. In response, Greenwald had the following to say about Rogers back in February:
“First is that he’s not only lying, and he is lying, but he not only is lying but he knows that he’s lying. This what is Mike Rogers is notorious for in Washington is literally making things up and smearing political opponents and journalists he doesn’t like.
I defy Mike Rogers, if he wants to make that accusation, to come forward and present actual evidence that any journalist has stolen, has sold documents or stolen material or engaged in any kind of criminality. He has no evidence, he’s just making things up.”
You’d think a guy like Rogers who aggressively lobs untrue accusations against a journalist trying to inform the American public about government criminality would have a squeaky clean background himself. After all, he was a former FBI agent. You’d think that, but you’d be wrong.
Incredibly, Dick Morris points out that until recently Mike Rogers’ wife was the president and the CEO of the company that was contracted by the State Department to provide intelligence-based and physical security services. While this sort of crony capitalism is seen as “business as usual” in the cesspool that is D.C., the really crazy part of this story is that as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rogers is charged with investigating the adequacy of security at the Benghazi compound prior to the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack.
You can’t find a bigger conflict of interest than that…

His wife, Kristi Clemens Rogers was the president and the CEO of the company that was contracted by the State Department to provide that security!
Mrs. Rogers, until recently, served as president and CEO of Aegis LLC, the contractor to the United States Department of State for intelligence-based and physical security services.
Aegis, a British private military company with overseas offices in Afghanistan, Bahrain, Iraq, Kenya, Nepal and the U.S., won a $10 billion, 5-year contract with the State Department to provide security for U.S. diplomatic posts around the world.
Aegis 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.”
Congressman Rogers, who abruptly announced his intention not to seek re-election, has been criticized for dragging his feet in the Benghazi investigation. Only when pressure from back benchers on his committee became intense did he agree to hold last week’s hearing at which former Deputy CIA Director Mike Morrell testified.
How on earth can the Rogers family justify having a husband who chairs a Congressional committee charged with reviewing the performance of his wife’s company in guarding the Benghazi compound?
Is this the reason Rogers just abruptly announced his retirement to become a talk radio host?

This type of thing is only frowned upon in non-fascist countries. In other words, it's no biggie here in the US.
Mike Rogers. An american who opposes everything America stands for.
Hang 'em high.
In todays world all you have to be is a patroit, then you throw your book at the rest of them, in the name of the victim being sent to Wyoming.
I see a pattern, sec fda ect. ect. facism is what it is called...
homeland security-what is on deck to to take the last versige of hope...
armored vehicles, militay trained police, and you be the servant. driving america i get that feel...
our public institutions have changed big time, even the attitude at the state parks-locked gates after 10pm!
why are they locking the gates! why do we cringe at the sight of a dodge charger? fear baby fear...
His wife's company...?
Sure..., what a puke!
Is this the reason Rogers just abruptly announced his retirement to become a talk radio host?
Rogers first guest on the talk show will be Jon Corzine. The subject of the show will be how everyone hates dirt farmers....especially ones in Nevada. Also on how there's not much difference between the progressive left and right.
Mike Rogers. An american who opposes everything America stands for as long as it is profitable.
(fixed it for you)
a violent visit to the dc area with numbers reaching 10-20 million overwelming any security except the military is the ONLY solution left to us slobs of our own fate. next they will be taking our guns , next your neighbor will be brought in for questioning and disappear. next they come for YOU...
Mike Rogers. Certified cunt.
(fixed it for you properly).
You can't be a modern Lord on 180k. They all have some other shady or illegal means to live like the monied class that they suck off on a daily basis.
isn't this where the morons start posting about how all of this is plot by obama and obamacare.......your late.....where are you. come on now, don't be shy with more ignorant posts.
Rome wasn't sacked in a day, and contrary to popular history, most of the damage done to it, that ultimately led to its demise, was inflicted upon it by her own "leaders."
"demise" ? better look again! families that claim ties to rome egypt and persia are the rome now.
not only egypt and persia but, to quote stephen leeb, one of the things that’s starting to dawn on Saudi Arabia as they look and see the bodies strewn around Libya and Iraq, is that the petro-dollar is not a recipe for longevity. And it might make a lot more sense to price their valuable commodity, namely oil, in a basket of currencies which consists of economies that are there to stay such as China, Russia, Germany, and also to include gold in that basket.
seems as though that is happening-the gold portion is indirect as russia and china increasing reserves. so even if gold isn't a direct component it is underlying the currencies strength or shall we call it phyzz faith, real faith...not fucking faith backed by morons and the MIC!
oh yea where is our vast stockpile of gold at fort phoney, and also where the fuck is germanys gold? this fake and phoney government is running out of time. moar bombs, that will do it...
.. just don't badmouth Henry Aaron as he confuses the democrat clanners with the party of Lincoln.
Exalted Brown Eye Cyclops Bobby Byrd's (D West Vagina) "white niggers" (his words, not mine) are alive and well in the black house all around the messiah moozie and the first wookie.
This must be where some dolt blathers on about the false left/right paradigm that distracts so many feeble minded sheeple.
Huh? Are you saying that one team is better than the other? Get a clue shit ball!
To whom is Rand Paul married? Someone's gotta be clean enough, somewhere.
Mike Rogers - What a Gimp.
Where´s my daily bankster? Nothing this week.It aint like the supply has dried up...
Here we go. Carbomb outside Greek Central Bank.
The fucker needs to be beaten, sodomized, burned, then drug through the streets.
Give folks a break..
Sodomy might be most appropriate first.
No...you have to beat them first. Sodomy then adds insult to injury.
Odds are, he would enjoy the sodomy.
You display an uncomfortable level of expertise in this matter.
Just sayin'
I live in Michigan's 8th District.
Rogers is a subhuman POS.
Isn't is funny that many of the powerful in Washington come from economically insignificant parts of the country. It's always some asshole from rusty Ohio or dicklick Mississippi or that asshole from the Dakotas who lorded over the Senate from a place with 400,000 people.
Bad example using Ohio. Im from here and Im usually the last to stick up for it. However with a state population 7th or 8th in population i think, too lazy to look it up right now, its pretty significant with cities like Columbus, Cincy and Cle. So by your logic we should have leaders from Cali, Texas or NY only. Dont get me wrong, our reps, like Boner are a joke just like any other. But dont you ever mention Ohio and MS in the same sentence please.
Get over yourself Francis.
OK.. good-to-go with the beatings first..
Nowadays the pressure is to confuse good with evil and pain with pleasure.
How about beatings first, then sodomy with the baseball bat? Thats a nice economical approach.
Along with everybody else in government who keeps his/her mouth shut about all of the corruption.
Motherfuckers.
FBI doesn't just keep their mouths shut they take control of crime scenes and permanently bury evidence; that's when they're not busy perpetrating crimes themselves.
Don't forget thrown over a balcony and broken in two like a little boy.
Drawn and quartered, after having his entrails unwound while he watches.
Are we going to need a permit ?
So, going medieval on his ass.
Don't give Barack or Barney Frank any ideas...
F.B.I.= Federal Bunch of Idiots!
Children 'Unicorns' here may not know their history of the FBI, but it started in the 1920's by a guy name "GAY EDGAR HOOVER", and it was a federal program to track fudge-packers.
Gay Edgar Hoover held the HELM of the FBI for over 50+ years, and he died in office, at his desk, his private male secretary by his side.
Hoover developed the largest GAY black-book in world history, his book had a list of every gay man on the planet, and what his fetish. Hoover's book was also known as his private 'black-book' for personal use.
Hoover developed the largest library VIDEO collection of child-porn, snuf-porn, and gay-sex in world history.
Janet Reno famous under CLINTON was known to 'borrow' rape videos from the FBI library and show them at private party's when she ran the FLORIDA AG office, and later the US attorney general office. When she wasn't burning children alive in WACO she liked watching them be fucked and tortured, with all the cop's present, local and federal drinking beer, and eating fried pork skin.
This is YOUR America folks.
Just the perfect piece to capture yet another fox guarding hen house sequel...
See President Obama keeps proving every day how well the NDAA works when he surreptitiously signed it into law the day before New Year's 2012! The President, Mike Hayden, Mike Rogers and AG Holder thank you for making their lives and jobs easier by not getting in their way!
When will the American people take matters into their own hands for Christ sake!!!!
If this crap keeps up, sooner than they think
Leave no incumbents in office
Leave no incumbents?!? Leave no fucking office for the scum of the earth to occupy!
After everything that has happened your solution is just more of the same?
Well, we could try flying planes into buildings...
A prime example of the self-serving scum we have at the helm of this nation.
A blocked sewer has more value than this self serving scumbag.
Karma will surely take care of him.
I remember when a guy like this was the exception and most were square shooters...around Eisenhower's time
Can't possibly be, they sold us out in 1913 in the dark of night on Christmas eve. You'll have think further back to those who actually cared about human values and the good of the union.
What Difference Does It Make ? TM
Now it makes sense.
Should be an interesting call-in Radio Show for the first few weeks, unless he just babbles to himself.
Don't be deluded about the FBI and its agents. The FBI clowns refuse to record or video questioning and then later write up what was said. This is very convenient to insure that what ever is needed for prosecution can be added. Rogers is used to a corrupt system covering for him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jgDsbjAYXcQ
First prerequisite of any discovery in Washington DC:
No matter who or what issue is being investigated, those in charge of the investigation must in turn be investigated even more thoroughly than those targeted in said investigation.
e.g., Warren Comission
Those who investigate the investigators must also be investigated as a second line of defense.
Recursive investigation with no base case = 100% worldwide employment.
WIN! WIN! WIN!
with farse like this, the empire surely is on its last leg.
Empires never fall. They just move their Capital and change the name.
The Roman Empire never fell. The Capital moved and the name was changed. TPTB are TBTF.
The Capital of the Empire will likely move to a BRIC (.R.C).
The Empire will thereby survive.
Yup. Not only did it not fall, it added two new satellites: London and DC.
What a shitbag.
Houston....
Mike is not Roy
Fire.All.Of.Them.
Out.Of.A.Cannon.
5 Billion? Where have we heard that figure before?
The guy is a total dick.
From NSA whore
“You can’t have your privacy violated if you don’t know your privacy is violated”. Those were the words out of the mouth of Mike Rogers, the chairmen of the House Oversight Committee of the United States Intelligence agencies. This ridiculous and frightening quote was said during a hearing about concerns American University College of Law professor Stephen Vladeck had over the NSA surveillance program. Mike Rogers has made it clear on many occasions how he supports the NSA surveillance program and feels the American people are on a need to know basis.
to Drone MIC pimp
Mike Rogers is the Chairman of the committee that is suppose to over see all the U.S. intelligence committees, and says the U.S Drone Policy has too much “red tape”. Since becoming Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee in 2011, Mike Rogers has received over $162,000 in campaign contributions from drone manufacturers (opensecrets.org). Any reasonable person would consider this a conflict of interest, but not in U.S. politics. Mike Rogers has a history of defending policies in the sake of campaign contributions. Back in March of 2013 Rogers was the biggest supporter of CISPA, a bill that would make American’s personal data accessible to the U.S. Government by setting up a knowledge-sharing agreement with private companies. Rogers tweeted, and then deleted a link to a story about how CISPA supporters, had received 15 times more cash from pro-CISPA groups compared to the opposition had received from anti-CISPA groups.
Mike Rogers’ wife Kristi Clemens Rogers, who is a former CEO of Aegis LLC, a security defense contractor company. Aegis would of benefited from CISPA, but it was voted down in the Senate

When the Emperor has no clothes all opportunism is naked.
[Edit] Plus this recent revelation nugget from the same great blog link!:
Just the other day on February 10th, two new revelations became known about the U.S. Drone policy. Glenn Greenwald and Jeremy Scahill released a report about “The NSA’s Secret Role in The U.S. Assassination Program” on their new news website The Intercept (Firstlook.org/theintercept/). In the report:
“a former drone operator for the military’s Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) who also worked with the NSA, the agency often identifies targets based on controversial metadata analysis and cell-phone tracking technologies. Rather than confirming a target’s identity with operatives or informants on the ground, the CIA or the U.S. military then orders a strike based on the activity and location of the mobile phone a person is believed to be using.”
Shit!
If you study up on Rogers a little, you will find that he makes Feinstein look like a paragon of virtue.
What Rogers needs is a special prosecutor (not some two-bit car thief)--he is as dirty and anti-American as anything the country has ever produced.
Speaking of criminals and crony capitalism.
Dropbox just put treasonous war criminal Condoleezza Rice on their board. I guess you got to do what you got to do for your coming IPO in the "land of the fascism."
What are they going to do when she can't travel because of the threat of arrest and trial? Better keep that board search team together.
Bye Dropbox, I'm off to SugarSync.
Luckily he's retiring after this year.
Dying would have been preferable.
His wife got a 10 billion dollar contract for physical security. They are both going to retire with 10 figures easily. And we mock what the corrupt leader of Ukraine did?
This brings back memories. Anyone remember Phil and Wendy "Enron" Gramm?
If he's a fan of making shit up, two can play at that game. Everybody out there who has photoshop skills can do their part by photoshopping him into gay porn. It needs to look as realistic as possible.
Or just take a picture of him while he's servicing a homeless guy in the woods off Old Jefferson Highway.
how much of the 6 billion did Mike Rogers and his wife steal ?
As someone once aptly said, "War is when your government tells you who the enemy is. A revolution is when you figure it out yourself.'"
If the Americans can't figure out what's at play here, then I give up.
Rogers is nothing less than human garbage.
AND, they have the power to take your farm!!! http://shutupnsing.wordpress.com/2014/04/10/wanted-dead-or-alive-horse-thieves-psychopaths/
It's safe to say that Mike Rogers is an Incompetent Buffoon! Who voted for this Fuck-Stick???
Politicians like Mike Rogers and Saxby Chambliss among others, are retiring in hopes of escaping justice of a wrathful American public when the SHTF. They are counting on those billions of .223 and .40 rounds bought by DHS to form a solid lead wall to hid behind. Most of the time things don't work out like you plan.
Of course the Dems, from 0bamao on down the line are all saints.
They are no different. Both parties are bad.
what a douche bag
The whole system of government is a 'conflict of interest' , 'massive ponzi scheme, and sadly a completely sad and evil joke on the hard working middle class of the world and has been for a long time.
What's that I hear.... Ahh yes The US's founding fathers pounding on their coffins, writhing in agony as everything they ever fought for the 'people' is ever so slyly eroded away by these greedy sociopaths. They tried to protect the people of the US, I think they were thinking bigger..... The people of the world, as they knew this would one day affect everybody if these criminals, psychopaths were given any sort of control.
It's up to the ones that can see through the bullshit to stand up and draw on the courage of these great men. They were willing to put their lives on it, this train wreck will continue until the ones that can truly see through this complete farce have the courage to do the same.
I've been watching these posts for the last few months, and it seems like all these 'visionaries 'are more than happy to wait for the giant mushroom cloud to form then sit back on their fat arse and say........ "I told you so, I was right all along"..... Well..... Hats off to all of you!
C'mon, let's stop talking about this crap, we know exactly how this is going to end, this is our world, let's figure out how the fuck we are going to take it back!
In the ages past this has happened over and over again. The secret is for the 'people' to rise up en mass and tell these delusional powermongers they are not in control and we will have a whole set of new rules.
Otherwise known as...... Revolution!
To say Rogers is a piece of shit is to insult shit worldwide.
I wonder who else is investigating his wife.
lets see 4.9B Greek bond Issue, 5 billion to overthrow Ukraine during olymipics, 10b Aegis contract..... Greenwald, Krieger THANKS CISPA.

This crap s*** stain every other member of the committee, both Republicans and Democrats, but don't hold your breath.
I heard the lying fuck on radio back when the gov shutdown. all he could talk about was that the NSA couldn't do their job. I know this is why he has resigned. Another corrupt lying politician.
Congressman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, is charged with investigating the adequacy of security at the Benghazi compound prior to the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack.
His wife, Kristi Clemens Rogers was the president and the CEO of the company that was contracted by the State Department to provide that security!
By their fruits ye shall know them...
and the Rogers' fruit has a lot of gall.
Mike Rogers is a shithole, and that alone gives shit and holes universally a bad name.
Andrea Mitchell of NBC/MSNBC is Alan Greenspan's wife. Now, surely she is an unbiased and fair reporter on everything and anything, especially in matters dealing with finance or commerce.
The problem with Washington, DC, is that it hasn't been demolished yet.
I'm ashamed that this asshole represents the state i live in . . . .
he gives the gop a bad name, LOL, (not possible)but what female heads a security co, was she a navy seal, former delta force? maybe the real life demi moore GI Jane? real life is so much more bizaro than anything hollywood could come up with.
THIS GUY AND HIS WIFE CAN EAT SHIT AND SMILE AND ASK FOR A SECOND HELPING AS LONG AS THE FAMILY CASH REGISTER RINGS... fbi background quals the guy for nada...how much under the table.... ask Whitey Bulger.... they are minor league scumbags
So not only was criminal corruption involved but the cunt hires the feb 10 brigade to guard the henhouse..... they sell out set them up and abandon ship.... and they walk awway with a bag of blood money
IF THE CIVILIAN CONTRACTORS (hired by the cia) WORKING AT THE INTEL DEN AND COUPLE OTHERS WHO CAME TO THE RESCUE HAD NOT DEFIED ORDERS AND DID THE RIGHT THING THERE WOULD BE 60+ MORE DEAD BODIES FOR OBAMA AND HILLARY TO COVER UP... ultimately the truth will out and it will be 100 times more shocking.... the specops ace of spades crew will make the swiftboating of kerrykohn look like the little sisters of the poor at a prayer service..... Hillary aint walking away from this one..
Instead of telling them they are on their own they left them hung out to dry. He's on the roof shinning a target illuminating laser waing for air support because there was a fucking drone flying overhead... providing a feed back to langley for the entertainemnt of the white house crew... obama goes to sleep and off to a fund raiser.... that is where his priorities are...
America is represented and run by shit eating maggots from the top down whose only purpose in life is to enrich themselves and their families at the expense of the citizens and national security as needs be...their oath means nothing...
Hey Holder see any criminal activity here??
Justin Amash, now is your time!!!
Crickets.
Tar and Feathers and run them out of the country.
Lamp posts and rope.
