Donald Trump's attacks on broadcaster CNN are an "an outrageous assault" on freedom of speech, according to former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director Michael Hayden.

“If this is who we are or who we are becoming, I have wasted 40 years of my life,” the former spy chief, who now works as a national security analyst for the broadcaster, said in a Twitter post.

General Hayden, who is also a former director of the National Surveillance Agency (NSA), added: "Until now it was not possible for me to conceive of an American President capable of such an outrageous assault on truth, a free press or the first amendment."

Another Deep State disgrace being forced out of hiding. We should all be feeling unsafe that all these traitors are in control of our national security.

CNN has freedom of speech. They may broadcast whatever drivel they like.
POTUS has freedom of speech. He may criticize CNN however he likes.

1st Amendment is preserved, General.

If you’ve learned nothing in all your years being paid by taxpayer money, you have wasted much of your time - and ours.

The batty ole’ general is just lamenting the fact that this GOP president actually fights back.

His idea of free speech is a POTUS punching bag.

You see, if you disagree with NSA, you are committing an “outrageous assault”.

Oops. Somebody is in hot water at YahooNews. Usually, they don't mention that the source being quoted works for the entity being attacked until about the 400th paragraph of the story.

In this case, the soon-to-be-fired minion accidentally points out that Hayden works for CNN in the second paragraph.

He must be pissed at DJT for bombing the drug labs in Afghanistan he and his predecessors have been protecting and profiting from.

The CIA, NSA and FBI like to present themselves as quiet, unaligned, professionals

In fact, I believe they are, and with the power they have MUST BE, the most political and biased organizations in the entire government.
