How Admiral Mike Rogers uncovered the political weaponization of our Intel Community.
It is highly possible the FISA abuse would have stayed hidden, if not for Admiral Rogers' actions in 2016.

Without Rogers, there might have been no investigation by Inspector General Horowitz.
One other item of note. There is a direct benefit from Rogers’ retirement. His job at the NSA complete, Admiral Rogers is now free to testify.

For those less familiar, here’s a timeline of events transpiring at the NSA:
*November 2015-April 2016
FBI and DOJ’s National Security Division (NSD) uses *private contractors* to access raw FISA information using “To” and “From” FISA-702(16) & “About” FISA-702(17) queries.
*November 2015-April 2016
FBI and DOJ’s National Security Division (NSD) uses *private contractors* to access raw FISA information using “To” and “From” FISA-702(16) & “About” FISA-702(17) queries.

April 18 2016 – Rogers shuts down FBI/NSD contractor access to the FISA Search System.
*April-Sept 2016 – Rogers continues his investigation.
*Sept 26 2016 – DOJ’s NSD Head John Carlin files the Government’s proposed 2016 Section 702 certifications. The filing does not disclose the FISA Abuses. Carlin is aware of Rogers’ compliance review. The 2016 certifications are scheduled for Court approval on October 26, 2016
*September 27 2016 – Carlin announces he is resigning. Mary McCord will later assume his position.
*October 15, 2016 – Carlin formally leaves the NSD
*October 15, 2016 – Carlin formally leaves the NSD
*Mid-Oct 2016 – DNI CLAPPER submits a recommendation to the White House that Director Rogers be REMOVED from the NSA. Clapper’s effort fails.

*Oct 20 2016 – Rogers is briefed by the NSA compliance officer on the Section 702 NSA compliance audit and “About” query violations.
*Oct 21 2016 – Rogers shuts down all “About Query” activity. Rogers reports the activity to DOJ and prepares to go before the FISA Court
*Oct 21 2016 – DOJ & FBI seek and receive a Title I FISA probable cause order authorizing electronic surveillance on Carter Page from the FISC. At this point, the FISA Court is unaware of the Section 702 violations.
*Oct 24 2016 – Rogers verbally informs the FISA Court of Section 702(17) violations.
*Oct 26 2016 – Rogers formally informs the FISA Court of 702(17) violations in writing.

*Oct 26, 2016 – The FISA Court refuses to formalize the 2016 Section 702 certifications. A complete overhaul of Section 702 processes ensues.
*Nov 17 2016 (AM) – Rogers travels to meet President-Elect Trump & his Transition Team in Trump Tower. Rogers does not inform DNI James Clapper* Nov 17 2016 (PM) – Trump Transition Team announces they are moving transition activity to Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey.
The DOJ & FBI were fully aware that Rogers initiated a compliance review in April 2016. They were aware of review’s relative status.
DOJ & FBI were both aware of Carlin’s fraudulent Sept 26, 2016 submission of Government’s proposed 2016 Section 702 certifications. They knew it contained material omissions
FBI/DOJ’s NSD were literally racing against Rogers’ Investigation in order to obtain FISA Warrant on Carter Page.
Carlin specifically didn’t disclose his knowledge of FISA Abuse in annual Section 702 certifications so as not to raise suspicions at FISA Court pre-FISA Warrant.

The DOJ & FBI apply for – and receive – a Title I FISA warrant on Carter Page the same day Rogers apprises both Agencies of ongoing FISA violations.
Neither the DOJ or FBI inform the FISA Court of Rogers’ notification when they make their FISA Application on Page.
None of this would have been uncovered without the actions of Admiral Mike Rogers.

We are witnessing the end of a quiet war.
Intelligence Agencies & DOJ/State on one side. Military Intelligence, along with a few well-placed White Hats, on the other.
Military Intelligence is carrying the day.
And for that we should be profoundly grateful
