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 hes 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.
Haydens 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.

I understand. I also go up and down but it is actually adding up to it falling apart for them. Wait till the indictments start and you will feel better.
Thanks. Sometimes when you drop to your knees, it is a good thing to have others who aren’t on their knees at that time give you a hand up.
When they are on their knees, you give them a hand up.
That way we can keep moving forward...so yeah. Thanks...
...At what point do you stop being a guard rail and become an enabler and a legitimizer...
I’d have sworn that the result of the 2016 election was the legitimizer. How confusing!
Don’t these people have colossal nerve! Never seen anything like it. Total disgraces.
My advice: dont work for Michael Hayden.
Every word that President Trump speaks or writes is scrutinized against the entire known universe of libtard beliefs. Every discrepancy is then labeled a “lie”. Whereas the commie homo Kenyan mohammedan could say “keep your doctor” and it’s labeled “true” because some people did. Besides, it was just a “sales pitch”......
Maybe Haydn has forgotten this:
The FBI sought a search warrant for the email account of former CIA and NSA chief Gen. Michael Hayden in 2012, according to a newly unsealed court filing. The warrant application was part of a broader Obama-era investigation into a leak of classified information to the press. Another official later pleaded guilty in connection to the disclosure.
This from the one government official I think was more dishonest, devious and all around scumbag than either Clapper or Brennan.
No sh*t LOL
Please don’t feel pessimistic. I just saw 30 teens Confirmed here in SoCal a few hours ago in a packed church. There was great hope and joy there with three generations of most families represented. I feel that hope and joy. God bless!
1 thru 4 is exactly what they are doing.
But, I’m excited. President Trump understands the game and he is God’s man. Our prayers are being answered.
Treasonous Swamp Scum bump for later....
That IS uplifting...thank you.
Hayden is such an ass
For sure he’s out of the business until 2020 and hopefully longer
Yes...that is the part I am optimistic about. Trump seems perfectly willing to wade into the fight and take it right back to them.
Thank God he is in office.
You are welcome and here’s a bit more. 18 of the 30 have committed to coming back for our summer “leadership” training so they will be able to go forth and share the Gospel. I have great hope but no matter what....I will support them (and I’m getting old). God bless again!
FU Hayden, you commie biatch. You helped Obonzo turn the CIA into a mess.
I think that your assessment of what they are doing and how Hayden’s little stunt fits into the plan is spot on. It looks like they’ve gone all in. But, if they are going to move ahead, they are going to do it in the full light of day. Too many people have figured out what and how they are up to. The next rounds will be fought outside the beltway and under circumstances that won’t allow the media to do the stage management. It won’t be a time for weak sisters, but the guy leading the fight is not going to blink.
Don't allow Your Faith to Fade.
All these bitches that continue to discredit the agencies -— that have no moral investment in the agencies — that are the partisan stains on the agencies.
You’re very welcome.
I get easily depressed, too.
One thing I do to get things back in perspective is lay off the news and FR for a day or two. To be inundated by negatives is not healthy anyway.
Hang in there and best regards and wishes to you.
