Exclusive: NSA Chief Admits Donald Trump Colluded With Russia

[kpete]

This week’s town hall event, which was broadcast to agency facilities worldwide, was therefore met with surprise and anticipation by the NSA workforce, and Rogers did not disappoint. I have spoken with several NSA officials who witnessed the director’s talk and I’m reporting their firsthand accounts, which corroborate each other, on condition of anonymity.

In his town hall talk, Rogers reportedly admitted that President Trump asked him to discredit the FBI and James Comey, which the admiral flatly refused to do. As Rogers explained, he informed the commander in chief, “I know you won’t like it, but I have to tell what I have seen”—a probable reference to specific intelligence establishing collusion between the Kremlin and Team Trump.

Rogers then added that such SIGINT exists, and it is damning. He stated, “There is no question that we [meaning NSA] have evidence of election involvement and questionable contacts with the Russians.” Although Rogers did not cite the specific intelligence he was referring to, agency officials with direct knowledge have informed me that DIRNSA was obviously referring to a series of SIGINT reports from 2016 based on intercepts of communications between known Russian intelligence officials and key members of Trump’s campaign, in which they discussed methods of damaging Hillary Clinton.

NSA employees walked out of the town hall impressed by the director’s forthright discussion of his interactions with the Trump administration, particularly with how Rogers insisted that he had no desire to “politicize” the situation beyond what the president has already done. America’s spies are unaccustomed to playing partisan politics as Trump has apparently asked them to do, and it appears that the White House’s ham-fisted effort to get NSA to attack the FBI and its credibility was a serious mistake.

1. They had it before the election, and they said nothing

When is it going to sink in - nothing was done to stop the election?
It's been totally fake since the get-go.

2. Not sure what will come out of it...

As you said.... they KNEW this for a long time.

I think what we're seeing now is "leaks" being used as power levers. What comes out of it will depend on how much the players are able to extract.

I think trump may go down... it's just the way they carve up what's left. There are MANY people involved - wanna guess how many actually get prosecuted - besides a few fall guys?

We're all being played....

3. Yep

It's up to the Democrats because the Republicans surely won't do a thing.
