Hayden: Don’t Work For Trump Administration
The Hill ^ | 05/06/18 | Luis Sanchez

Posted on 05/06/2018 4:29:19 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Former CIA Director Michael Hayden said in a new interview that he would advise against working for the Trump administration, Yahoo News reported.

Hayden said in a Yahoo podcast that he’s had difficulty watching top officials try to defend President Trump.

“The longer they were in the administration, the more their personal credentials were being threatened,” Hayden said. “At what point do you stop being a guard rail and become an enabler and a legitimizer?”

Although Hayden advised former colleagues against serving under Trump, he said younger people who want to join the government should remember their “moral thresholds” and “take notes,” something that former FBI Director James Comey did to counter claims made by Trump.

“You may want to keep a draft letter in your desk drawer,” Hayden said, referring to a letter of resignation.

Hayden’s new book, “The Assault on Intelligence: American National Security in an Age of Lies,” serves as a critique of Trump, whom Hayden has called a “useful idiot.”

The former CIA director noted that there have been presidents that lie in the past, but that Trump stands out.

“The difference here is, this seems to be a president who bases a fair number of decisions on something other than a view of objective reality,” Hayden said.

The #Democrats have a single agenda: destroy this president. They do Russia, porn whores, weather, illegal aliens, guns, whatever. It’s a never ending carousel of rotating mantras, each designed to GET TRUMP. Their queen was deprived of her coronation and Trump must be crushed.

I’ll listen to what these people have to say when they tell me exactly what it is that Trump has done wrong.

Till then, FO!

If someone didn’t know Hayden was a DEEP STATE HACK before, they surely do NOW.

Has anyone kept a record of Trump lies?

I recall several times in which the media or Dems claimed lies were said only the lies turned out to truth. Hr claims he didn’t have sex with Stormy, but so did she - the first statement. I would like to see what all I have missed.

Ok then. I am not at all worthy but I officially announce that Shark24 is now available to President Trump to do any miserable, lousy, thankless tasks in his administration with no expectation of any acknowledgement or thanks and am willing to be thrown under the bus for him if it is in support of our Constitution and Republic!
Cheers,
P.S. I can also make a mean Hungarian taco....

What is newsworthy about the comments of a man who fit well in the government we threw out in disgust?

We have a fake Russian investigation on President Trump by a Special Prosecutor who was deeply involved with the Uranium 1 deal.

The moment we find out they have nothing.... Then they roll the porn star out.

President Trump needs to fire Mueller, arrest him for Uranium 1, cease all his assets, integrate him and charge him with the maximum law of the land.

Make no mistake Muller is attempting a coup against America to over throw a legal and lawful Constitutional election. Everyone knows they are lying.

Hayden is obviously working with the Globalists.

It was pretty obvious during the 2016 primary elections when he pulled this same crap by getting 50 other NWO stooge to sign a letter professing this same type of garbage. He is now black balled and persona non grata in the defense community now.

That’s right. They are being exposed by their desperation.

I learned long ago to ignore persuasion that has nothing to offer beyond unsubstatiated conclusions.

To the best of my knowledge, President Trump has not lied to the a American people spoke

It is plainly obvious that pretty much everyone in the ObamaAdministration lied constantly to the American people and attempted to cover up serious and even criminal misconduct .

The FBI, the DOJ, the CIA, and the ODNI, the Department of State and most all senior staff members have been caught lying, trying to cover up their lies and obstructing investigations into their lies and misconduct

President Obama’s National Security guru, Ben Rhodes , openly bragged to the media about how lying was Obama standard policy and how good the Obama Administration was at lying to the American people

As of yet President Trump has worked to fulfill every promise he made to the American people and the President seems to be the only politician telling the truth to the American people

Hayden is a George W. Bush baby. He's one of the Bush "#nevertrump" clan so to speak.

At what point do you stop being a guard rail and become an enabler and a legitimizer?

PRESIDENT Trump was legitimized by the American people in the last election! This country belongs to the people, not to the Deep State.

I’d love to know what’s emboldening these vermin so much that they’ve come out from under their rocks.

Are they desperate? Or do they smell blood?

And what, exactly, is their aim? Do they realize what’s going to happen to this country if it even LOOKS like they might succeed in unseating our President ... because they can’t stand having lost the election?

The country ALREADY won’t recover from the year and a half of crap these scum have put us through. The left and right are NEVER going have a meeting of the minds, or look at each other again with anything other than pure hatred.

But as far as I’m concerned, this is OUR country. WE won the election and if they don’t like it they can leave.

All of them.

Notice how these traitorous Deep Staters never give specifics

Just negative generalizations they know the enemedia will have priapism covering, and delivering to an ignorant audience

I recall Hayden BS’ing about Plame stating she was some secret field spy. Of course she was not.

Ex-CIA Director Michael Hayden (73-yr-old now) is going to meet the end of his life in the same disgrace as McCain.

All these old guys can’t admit that the will of the people has more wisdom than their life experience gives them.

Isn’t that what we do when a legitimately elected and sincere President is elected?
One who doesn’t want to fundamentally transform America?
