Mike Rogers became chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Months later, his wife's defense contracting firm landed a billion-dollar government deal.
As the couple's wealth grew, so did questions about the arrangement.
@Timodc walks @AdamKinzinger through the timeline.

Major revelation here from @Timodc on the Mike and Kristi Rogers scandal.
We reported that she was Paul Bremer’s press aid in Iraq and that he traveled there frequently as a married member of Congress. He divorced his first wife in 2007 and married Kristi in 2010. Rogers joined the Intel committee in 2005.
In 2006, Kristi launched the U.S. subsidiary of Aegis, a defense contractor, which quickly started getting massive contracts.
Tim Miller adds a key detail: Kristi Clemens was Rogers’ finance director for his 2000 campaign. So they knew each other this entire time.
Rogers and his wife threatened to sue us over our first story. We stand by our reporting.

Fun as usual to join at @timodc on the Bulwark pod to howl at the moon, look at the looming midterms, and go out on Creep Patrol looking for Vivek Ramaswamy!
A packed @BulwarkOnline Daily Pod: A monologue on Neil Bush for Talarico + Vivek's despicable ad. Then @murphymike on the midterm map, Elon, & whither the CA Dem party. And @MarkHertling live from Atlanta.

In 2020, Tommy Tuberville promised to donate “every dime” of his $174,000 Senate salary to Alabama veterans and their families. A June investigation found no evidence he followed through, a pledge now worth roughly $1 million.
Tuesday night, after a reporter asked about it, Tuberville told staff to remove him. Then he called the media “socialists” and “communists.”
The MAGA senator had a reporter thrown out of a campaign dinner after being confronted with an embarrassing question.

Vance: "I have never once heard Vivek say, You know what, they ran a very unfair TV advertisement against me."
Vivek: "There are attack ads on me that are outright false, that are just fabricated, attacking my business record. I don't love it."

Neil Bush, brother of George W. Bush and Jeb Bush, has broken his longstanding silence on politics to back Democrat James Talarico over Ken Paxton.
@Timodc reacts: "Hopefully there are going to be a lot of Neil Bushes out there over the next two weeks."

Abdul El-Sayed last debate: "My opponent here is gonna make this about him and about me, but really in the end this is about you."
Mike Rogers tonight: "My opponent's gonna try to make this about me versus him, but I'm gonna tell you this is about you."
Tim Miller retweeted
The difference is child rape. Hope that clears things up for you.
Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad is apparently unprecedented. It would be just awful to activate all the members of a politician’s family to attack them…as the Democrats did with every member of RFK’s family.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Acton's mother has been estranged from her daughter for 48 years because she sided with her husband (Acton's stepfather) when Acton reported that her stepfather had sexually assaulted her. That is different than RFK Jr.'s family, whose criticism of RFK Jr is focused on policy. dispatch.com/story/news/loc…

There’s a new backlash forming: parents mad at Republicans for exposing their kids to the concept of transitioning through constant advertising

“The most despicable act that we've seen from a campaign in recent memory.”
@Timodc condemns Vivek Ramaswamy's $4 million attack ad featuring Amy Acton's estranged mother, who was complicit in the sexual abuse Acton suffered as a child.

FLASHBACK to JD Vance in 2022:
“I gotta be honest with you, I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other.”
Vance has been on Putin’s side since the beginning.
Q: "Steve Witkoff called Russian President Vladimir Putin a humanitarian for agreeing to release Stephen Hubbard. Do you agree with that?"
Vance: "I agree with Steve Witkoff saying something nice to a person who just released an American hostage…We should all be celebrating that, not be complaining about what Steve Witkoff said in order to get it done."
Tim Miller retweeted
I know it hurts to hear, but the truth is that your father is a bumbling idiot who is helping Putin slaughter civilians in Ukraine. If I need a Miami cocaine hookup, I’ll call you! But until then, you should shut the fuck up and enjoy your corrupt crypto grift while it lasts.
You saying “dude, this was like 2 years ago” when @BretBaier asked you if you remembered changing the wording of the Benghazi terror attacks from attacks to demonstrations in the President’s talking points is one of the most humiliating things I’ve ever seen in politics.

Republicans gerrymandered this seat to be Trump+10 and have spent millions trying to win it. @johnnygarciatx is UP anyway 👀

People who have been around politics a long time may be struck as I was by the sheriff's signature on this arrest warrant for Amy Acton's stepfather, who at the time was a fugitive. Does the name James Traficant ring a bell?
Tim Miller retweeted
Witkoff to Putin: “He is a 75-year-old-man and you talk so much about about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also sir, and I salute that.”
First Witkoff lines out of Putin meeting, per Russian wires:
- says talks in Oslo were productive with some progress made;
- hopes trilateral Russia-Ukraine-US talks can restart, asks Putin to consider this;
- says there is potential for US-Russia economic relations to develop once Ukraine conflict ends;
- thanks Putin for the “diesel deal” on behalf of Donald Trump, and for freeing retired American teacher Stephen Hubbard from Russian jail

Neil Bush, brother of one President Bush & son of another President Bush, just posted that he voted for @JamesTalarico. Neil still lives in the same neighborhood as father did for decades here in Houston.

Thanks @Timodc for having me on!
