Michigan U.S. Senate Candidate Mike Rogers is the Most Dangerous Anti-Trump Phony Running for Office

Voters need to be leery of this blatant fraud and reject Rogers in the primary election.

Former Michigan U.S. Congressman Mike Rogers was the chief apologist for the mass surveillance policies that allowed President Donald Trump to be spied upon and sabotaged by the unaccountable deep state bureaucrats in Washington D.C. But now, Rogers is attempting to reinvent himself as a pro-MAGA Republican in a cynical attempt to dupe voters and become the Republicans U.S. Senate candidate in Michigan.

Rogers’ offenses against America First are long and sordid and go back to his role in one of the worst criminal acts of the Obama administration: Benghazi.

As Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rogers attempted to stonewall the investigation into Benghazi, claiming that Obama’s CIA officials were telling the truth and did not need to be investigated. This drew the attention of Judicial Watch, and they discovered that Rogers’ wife Kristi ran a major security contractor in the private sector where her husband’s clout in the D.C. swamp helped her firm, Aegis Defense Services, win many lucrative government contracts.

Aegis was one of the defense firms that profited from Obama’s regime-change war in Libya, which turned out to be as much of a disaster as any of his George W. Bush’s failed wars. As “quintessential Washington insiders,” according to Judicial Watch, Kristi Rogers served as President and CEO of Aegis while Mike Rogers chaired the House Intelligence Committee – a glaring conflict of interest as Aegis tallied Pentagon contracts worth hundreds of millions.

Aegis won the renewal of a Pentagon contract for reconstruction efforts in Iraq that was “worth up to $475 million over two years,” while Kristi Rogers was an Aegis lobbyist. They also were awarded a $497 million State Department contract to secure the U.S. embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. Most notably, Aegis won a stake in the five-year State Department contract worth up to $10 billion with the express purpose of keeping embassies safe back in 2010. Although Aegis has publicly denied culpability with the Benghazi disaster, their record of malfeasance in Libya is undeniable.

“Aegis has been operating in Libya since February 2011,” Aegis Advisory intelligence report stated to its corporate clients. The report also claimed that “Aegis has extensive links in Libya which can be leveraged quickly to ensure safe passage,” as they were reportedly seeking $5 billion in contracts to operate in the country.

Aegis severely understated the threat of Islamic extremism in Benghazi to contractors who could have presumably stopped the brutal murder of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. An Aegis analyst claimed that Islamic extremism was minimal, and Islamic countries active in the region had the threat under control.

“Despite reports of pockets of jihadist elements the presence of Islamic extremism has so far been low-key,” a senior Aegis official reported after visiting Benghazi in summer 2011, noting that U.S. allies “Qatar and the UAE [United Arab Emirates] have established a strong presence on the ground, providing tactical assistance at all levels, weapons, and recognition."

Kristi Rogers “obtained top-secret facility security clearance for Aegis, created the company’s board of directors and positioned it for future growth and expansion,” according to her former profile at Manett law firm. Kristi left Aegis in disgrace after the Benghazi scandal, and her husband high-tailed it out of Congress shortly after, preferring to collect corporate lobbyist paychecks rather than deal with the fallout of their cronyism.

Rogers has raked in millions following his departure from Congress, funding a lavish lifestyle, and leaving his home state of Michigan in the dust. Rogers has raked in nearly $2 million from serving on the boards of various tech and cybersecurity firms in the past two years alone, cashing in on his deep state bona fides and amassing assets of $17.5 million as a military-industrial grifter. Rogers lived in a mansion worth $1.5 million in Cape Coral, Florida before relocating and buying a home in the Detroit area only a few months before announcing his U.S. Senate run last year.

Now that his record of jeopardizing national security is in the rear-view mirror and his coffers are filled with corporate money from the infamous “revolving door” between big business and big government, Rogers is attempting a political comeback. In a state of Michigan where the war between the Republican elite and the conservative grassroots is perhaps the nastiest of anywhere in the nation, Rogers is hoping to slide under the radar and leverage his vast wealth and establishment connections to steal a U.S. Senate seat.

Rogers is hoping that voters see him as a tough, no nonsense, law-and-order conservative. He has been releasing messages crafted by his team of well-paid establishment consultants to whitewash his actual record. Last month, Rogers published a gushing endorsement of President Trump hoping to win the eye of Trump and receive the prized endorsement that would put him ahead of a crowded pack of contenders and make him the major favorite in a muddled field.

However, before he cynically reinvented himself as a pro-Trump Republican, Rogers was making media appearances calling Trump dead in the water – and even entertaining an anti-Trump presidential run – as recently as last year.

“I don’t believe today as I’m sitting here that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee in 2024. Don’t believe it… He may actually stay in for awhile. I just don’t think I believe he will be [the nominee]. His troubles are mounting, his fundraising is waning,” Rogers said during an April 2023 interview with CBS News.

In Nov. 2022, Rogers received a fawning profile in the Washington Post when he was testing the waters for a Presidential run. Rogers said that “Trump’s time has passed” and called Trump’s movement “clearly destructive,” only to change his tune after it became clear that Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Chris Christie, and the rest of the anti-Trump clown crew failed abysmally to dethrone the Don.

Rogers also told a group of Oakland County, Mich. Republicans in May 2023 that he supports the open-ended probe of election fraud protesters who were assaulted by Capitol Police and led into a federally-orchestrated display of violence on Jan. 6.

“When you assault a police officer, you are a criminal. When you break a window to get into a place you are not authorized to be in, you are a criminal,” Rogers said, defending the murderous actions of Lt. Michael Byrd, the Capitol Police thug who murdered Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt in cold blood.

“They used mace on a police officer… Those people are criminals and needed to be pursued. We shouldn’t even think about that,” he continued before praising Joe Biden’s messaging strategy and advising Republicans to sweep Biden’s Jan. 6 abuses under the rug.

“We got to move on. We got to start telling people that we have something better for them. If we’re talking about Jan. 6 in two months from now, we’re going to lose,” Rogers said.

Rogers may talk a good game now, but veteran deep state operatives such as himself revel in their ability to lie to the American public to subvert the will of the people. Take this frank admission from Mike Pompeo, veteran deep state con man turned traitor to Trump, as proof.

"I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment,” Pompeo said during a 2019 address at Texas A&M University.

Rogers is the most dangerous RINO currently running for office in the nation. Voters need to be leery of this blatant fraud and reject Rogers in the primary election before he is on the ballot in November to undermine President Trump in the crucial battleground state of Michigan.
