Summary
Mike Rogers, as the head of the National Security Agency (NSA), resisted endorsing an assessment related to the 2016 US Presidential Election, demanding proper vetting of the information. This occurred within the context of allegations of "Politicized Intelligence" orchestrated by the outgoing Obama Administration to undermine President Donald Trump's presidency. These allegations, as presented by Tulsi Gabbard, suggest that key intelligence figures manipulated assessments and leveraged unreliable sources like the Steele Dossier to prove Russian interference, despite initial findings to the contrary. Rogers' stance is highlighted as a point of resistance against this alleged campaign, which Gabbard compares to the flawed intelligence used to justify the Iraq War.
