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.

Isn’t Hayden the dude who used to dress up in a Star Fleet uniform?

President Trump won the election.

If this turd Hayden doesn’t like the results of the presidential election, he can pack up his crap and move to North Korea.

Good riddance!

If President Trump is anointed of God to do a work, they have no idea what power they are messing with. They can’t even comprehend how foolish it is to mess with him.

I know how disheartening it feels sometimes but, remember that the media projects its voice much louder and further than the militia only because it has the tools to do so.

The silent majority sees what is going on and posts like yours are how the “little guys” will triumph by the Grace of God. Thanks for the ping. Post these ideas often and widely.

Hayden helped Obama weaponized the CIA against Obama’s and Clinton’s enemies. He does not wanted talented people to work for Trump who might get the goods on his mendacity.
