“Former
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers has formed a new
pressure group, now active in Iowa and New Hampshire, to serve as the
'premiere national security and foreign policy organization during
the 2016 debate' and to 'help elect a president who supports American
engagement and a strong foreign policy.'”
“Roger’s
group, Americans for Peace, Prosperity, and Security, is hosting
candidate events and intends to host a candidate forum later this
year. The organization does not disclose its donors. But a look at
the business executives helping APPS steer presidential candidates
towards more hawkish positions reveals that many are defense
contractors who stand to gain financially from continued militarism
...”
“As we
first reported, Rogers may have a conflict of interest as well.
Though he announced that he left Congress to pursue a career in talk
radio, we found that the former Michigan congressman later admitted
taking on jobs in consulting and in private equity. His office has
refused to provide more information about those private sector gigs.”
