This Possible Comey Replacement Doesn't Bode Well For Our Liberties

The White House confirmed that former Congressman Mike Rogers from Michigan is being considered as James Comey's replacement at the FBI.

The President has tweeted multiple times with the hashtag #DrainTheSwamp when referring to his firing of Comey. But when you look at some of the things that Mike Rogers has supported, it makes you wonder if the president is really serious.

For example. In 2013, Rogers literally said with regards to NSA surveillance programs: "
you can't have your privacy violated if you don't know your privacy is violated, right?"

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Kurt Nimmo did some digging:
In 2006 as a congress critter, he voted to allow electronic surveillance without a warrant, a direct violation of the Fourth Amendment. He voted to let the government gather intelligence without congressional oversight and also voted to extend the PATRIOT Act.

Rogers voted for $78 billion in “emergency” funds to keep the pointless wars going in Iraq and Afghanistan and also voted against bringing the troops home. He voted yes to declare the Iraq occupation part of the endless war on terror.

In 2015, he called for more intelligence officers and more paramilitary forces to fight the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. He wants greater autonomy for the CIA and special-operations forces in Syria and a robust expansion of intelligence services, according to Newsmax.

Rogers is a “distinguished fellow” at the Hudson Institute, a neocon think tank run in part by Bush neocon Lewis “Scooter” Libby. Conrad Black and Richard Perle are board trustees and the godfather of the neocons, Norman Podhoretz, is on staff.

Hudson takes money from the government and large transnational corporations, including General Electric, Monsanto, Microsoft, IBM, and Exxon Mobil.
Rogers was on Trump's presidential transition team, but was let go during the Chris Christie purge.

Would Trump throw his enemies a slab of red meat by replacing Comey with someone that was an actual part of his team? Who knows with Trump?

But we do know, that when it comes to our liberties, Mike Rogers is no friend.

​Keep looking Mr. President.
