"We're going to have to rebuild whole aspects of operations from our Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines that will cost billions and billions of dollars because the information he stole and gave, which we believe is now in the hands of nation states, who are doing something with it. There's no honor in that."
And
"He was stealing information that had to do with how we operate overseas to collect information to keep Americans safe". And some of the things he did were beyond his technical capabilities" -- a fact which Rogers said "raises more questions. How he arranged travel before he left. How he was ready to go, he had a go bag, if you will."
Rogers added that he believes "there's a reason he ended up in the hands, the loving arms, of an FSB (Russian security service) agent in Moscow. I don't think that's a coincidence."
The narrative is firmly being established that Snowden is a traitor and a terrorist. There is a constant laying the groundwork for what increasingly appears a likely Obama authorized assassination of Snowden either by JSOC special ops teams or by drone or maybe he will just happen to end up dead in an Olympic related "terrorist" incident in Russia next month. Mike Rogers by his gambit is now Nixon hot on the trail of his own Alger Hiss.
When our narcissist in chief, so concerned with his place in history is eventually remembered for the immense damage that he has inflicted upon this country in not only continuing the policies of the Bushreich but refining and making them even worse, assisted by the likes of Rogers and Feinstein it will be far too late for those who are destined for doom as a result of his policies.
