(Before It's News)

Follow me as we connect the dots. Many were voicing concerns over Trump keeping Admiral Rodgers as director of the National Security Agency. His charge was mainly cybersecurity and a hold over from Obama. When I caught Rodger’s negative statements at the Comey hearing it was time to see what he was about. Even more disturbing is to find that NSA General Counsel Glenn Gerstell, a major bundler for Obama is still in his role and has not been removed. If Trump is to survice he best empty these pieces of garbage pronto. Here tis:

A stunning moment in the House Intelligence hearing — the director of the National Security Agency, Admiral Michael Rogers, acknowledged on live television that President Trump’s loose talk has complicated relationships with Britain and Germany.

  1. On Britain: Rogers was asked about Trump’s repetition of an unsubstantiated claim that Britain’s top spy agency wiretapped Trump on behalf of President Obama. Rogers gave a forceful “no,” said he agreed with the British that the claims were nonsense, and acknowledged that Trump’s allegation was unhelpful and “clearly frustrates a key ally of ours.”
  2. On Germany: Rogers was asked about Trump’s suggestion to German Chancellor Angela Merkel last week that they both had something in common because they’d been wiretapped by Obama. Rogers said it was unhelpful for Trump to raise this controversial incident, which became public due to leaks by Edward Snowden. “It certainly complicates things,” Rogers said. More at Axios

    GCHQ collaborates with the NSA, it has bilateral agreements for wiretapping since 2004 (https://www.fbcoverup.com/docs/library/2017-03-18-Read-the-Snowden-Documents-From-the-NSA-NSA-coop-with-GCHQ-and-FRA-by-Gunnar-Rensfeldt-Uppdrag-granskning-Mission-Investigation-Mar-18-2017.pdf) the NSA has already shown it operates outside the box if allowed, in the US it will collate the meta data, GCHQ will provide the data on US citizens.

    Point being nothing actually collated ‘should’ be admissible as evidence, but nothing stops leaks, interference in judicial process, timely accidents, financial irregularities and strange incidents in commerce where competition is given free range and foreknowledge. The NSA Trump leaks given to the White House already show the NSA had all the wiretaps of Trump since the 1990′s, it has but one partner with the ability to independently have all the US internet data, if the NSA did not collect the data on US citizens itself but collated and categorized it, only GCHQ under its agreements could have passed it on to NSA agents. The NSA had data it should not have been possible to get without a warrant, it certainly has been passing on this data to private entities outside the public interest.
