Former CIA Director Michael Hayden has some advice for colleagues who ask whether they should take a job working for President Trump: Don’t do it. You will only endanger your own future and reputation.
Hayden said it’s been hard to watch top Trump administration officials defend an often indefensible president.
“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?”
Hayden's new book, “The Assault on Intelligence: American National Security in an Age of Lies,” serves as a searing indictment of a president who Hayden depicts as a congenital liar and a “useful idiot” of Vladimir Putin.
“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,” he said.
Hayden clicks off multiple examples of Trump’s falsehoods, from his insistence that President Obama had him wiretapped at Trump Tower to the president’s claim — belied by all the scientific evidence — that global warming is a hoax.
“Remember your own moral thresholds,” Hayden said, adding: “You may want to keep a draft letter [of resignation} in your desk drawer.”

People need to stand. Hearing Caputo was ruined financially and will never work politically for Republicans again. A Christian event in California self cancelled because they were afraid of the new restrictions in California towards Christianity. This guy saying don’t work for the administration because you might be ruined? DA@#$IT!!! Where are the Patrick Henry’s who will risk their lives fortunes and sacred honor for liberty’s cause??!! STAND NOW OR EXPLAIN TO YOUR DESCENDANTS HOW YOU LOST THE BEST NATION THAT EVER WAS.
I guess the governmental establishment doesn’t want any SCABs crossing the picket lines.
This guy was an air force General officer?!
Disobey the CIC, shirk your duty?!
Really?!
I hope the current Obama holdovers & swamp dwellers take his advice & get out NOW.
Nope it is now Climate Restoration, do try and keep up. 😀
Rushbo spoke of this yesterday; “Work for Trump and you will be destroyed” is the Deep State’s warning.
Then they wonder why we peasants are buying guns & ammo.
“this seems to be a president who bases a fair number of decisions on something other than a view of objective reality”
Whose objective reality should we trust - a self-made man who has faced and solved a multitude of real challenges - or someone who uses tainted science to lie to Americans about glowbull warming for his own profit?
Also curious .. What are Hayden’s thoughts on these known liars: H->, Comey, the FBI, etc.?
AMERICA NEEDS AN ATTORNEY GENERAL!
translation: Bob Mueller has his marching orders to go after you too.
“You will only endanger your own future and reputation. “
As liberals, yes, they will!
[[belied by all the scientific evidence — that global warming is a hoax. ]]
“All” huh? You sir are a liar- there is tons of evidence proving mankind is not causing climate change- check out marc morano’s site for scientific evidence that mankind can not possibly be causing climate change-
“All” huh? LIAR!
This is sedition.
That man is a clear and present danger to the Republic...
Agree....sedition.
The swamprat CIA idiots are going to require a double flush.
(Obama) CIA Director John Brennan voted for the Communist Party candidate in the 1976 presidential election.
Brennan told a congressional panel last week that he “froze” while taking a CIA polygraph test four years later when the questioner asked him if he had ever worked with or for a group that was “dedicated to overthrowing the U.S.,” CNN reported.
“This was back in 1980, and I thought back to a previous election where I voted, and I voted for the Communist Party candidate,” Brennan said at a panel discussion regarding diversity in the intelligence community during the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s annual conference.
Someone had asked whether experience in political activism could harm someone who later attempts to obtain a security clearance. Brennan said the CIA is committed to upholding the values of the Constitution.
“We’ve all had indiscretions in our past,” he said. “I would not be up here if that was disqualifying.”
Brennan said he decided to acknowledge his vote for Communist Gus Hall, the Communist Party USA’s four-time presidential candidate, when undergoing the lie detector test.
“I said I was neither Democratic or Republican, but it was my way, as I was going to college, of signaling my unhappiness with the system, and the need for change. I said I’m not a member of the Communist Party, so the polygrapher looked at me and said, ‘OK,’” Brennan said.
“So if back in 1980, John Brennan was allowed to say, ‘I voted for the Communist Party with Gus Hall’ … and still got through, rest assured that your rights and your expressions and your freedom of speech as Americans is something that’s not going to be disqualifying of you as you pursue a career in government,” he continued.
