Admiral Mike Rogers, the one I reference, was DNI through an entire year-and-a-half of RussiaGate and he did nothing to stop it. The one in Michigan might be yet another bad-faith player in this psychodrama.

There was a FISA warrant for the access to the NSA data. It was rather late that Rogers discovered improper queries. Shortly after the election in 2016 he met with Trump in Trump tower and informed him that the Tower was bugged. Trump thereupon moved his officers to Bedminster. Obama fired Rogers. Adm Rogers is a hero. Most of this has evidently been scrubbed off the Internet.

The thwarted senator Mike Rogers is highly praised by Victor Davis Hanson, which is something to consider.

Adm Rogers reported the Trump Tower surveillance to DJT, so he knew of it.

That was an FBI wiretap and not NSA. Chances are good NSA knew nothing about it

The Admiral went straight to DJT to reveal the wire tapping. Who then changed transition venue.

It may have been a FBI wiretap, but the NSA was also involved via a FISA warrant that was fraudulently obtained from the Court. When Adm Rogers discovered that their data was improperly queried he investigated and I believe he ended access. My recollection is that access was password protected and that the Clinton campaign gave the passwords out to private sector contractors.

You may be able to locate the Court's response: "IN RE ACCURACY CONCERNS REGARDING DocketNo. Misc . 19- 02 F B IMA TTERS SUBMITTED TO THE FISC".

The "two-hop" rule applied. Since the primary target of the surveillance was Carter Page, it included all those two degrees removed. Page was part of the Trump Campaign team, so the surveillance included all of their communications!
