Michael Hayden, the former director of the National Security Agency (NSA), warned Thursday that impeaching President Donald Trump would have unintended consequences and could further delegitimize the intelligence community.
Hayden, a frequent critic of President Trump, told Hill.TVs Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton that he believes impeachment would be a bad idea.
If President Trump is somehow forced to leave office before the end of his first term, one-third of America will believe it was a soft coup conducted by people, well frankly like everybody here at the table would be their view, Hayden said. I think the only way we move beyond this in any way thats healthy for our democracy is we vote, the Obama-era intelligence official added.

POTUS Trump should use the “disenfranchised” argument in his Tweets. The Left will go ballistic because he stole it from them.
But what do I know, I’m just a “DID”, Disenfranchised Irredeemable Deplorable.
The biggest one is our own dependency on the government that provides for us and regulates daily life in every way.
Somebody should tell Hayden that the one third believes that the soft coup has already started.
And that our trigger fingers and rope hands are itching furiously...
It would be a coup. And he'd be one of the first to go. Thanks markomalley.
I support Trump.
Yes.
There are hundreds of Lefty Federal "judge-presidents" ruling the country by nation-wide injunction from the replica Oval Offices in their judge's chambers.
...Civil War II which will be a mortal blow to the survival of the nation republic...
Socialists take down all statues of any white men, all Google searches to pro conservative or pro-Trump material are deleted and directed to pro socialist ones,gun owners are identified and discriminated against (mortgages,jobs,promotions,car loans) and then guns confiscated,no talk radio sponsors or stations for Rush or Levin or any others,Youtube bans same,Facebook bans same,banks do not allow accounts for conservative voters on registration rolls (and looking at their visits online to FR,etc.),Amazon & Barnes & Noble do not allow any conservative books to be listed or sold, elderly citizens are refused health care coverage and hospital care due to being too expensive to the govt. health system per guidelines.....
But, whew, avoided Civil War II. That was a close one.
P.S. I know you and I are on the same good guys side and I was just showing what’s about to happen, not meaning to attack you in any way FRiend.
True.
But they may or may not be aware of a problem before it occurs, and even if they are aware, that doesn't mean that they have a fix that will work. Not all problems have solutions.
Remember the evacuation of New Orleans?
Yup. A very large percentage of the population depend on our society and would starve or die of thirst after a week.
Of course. Just because you have a plan doesnt mean you have the resources and competency to execute it.
No problem. actually, friend...you are right on the money. If the Democrats ever get full political power and control of the Federal government, our country as we have known it will be gone in 10-20 years. There is not one real leader in the Democrat party that can effectively lead this country.
The Democrats will quickly turn this country into an Orwell, “1984” Big Brother Dictatorship. Bank on it...and the the USA will become weak and unprepared to defend itself, the Chinese & Russians will have an unrestrained & unrestricted field day!!! “Bank on it”!!!
Of certainty the members of congress will be much sought after. Hard to hide amongst extended family once attaining such infamy. Probably would once again use flash identity playing cards to flush them.
Actually before elections someone with digital skills should pursue Congressional Democrats/Rino playing cards with the flash-identity information. Distribute them (free download app?) as protected political messaging.
There will be nothing “soft” about it, or the response that’s sure to follow.
BTTT. Already lost much of the military too, thanks to all the social experiments over the last few decades.
Agree. I also forgot churches. That’s a big loss.
No one would care or do anything, just as they don’t now. There are active military/CIA operations - illegal and illicit - going on over our heads all day and night now, over US soil.
Nobody did anything when TSA started molesting babies and the Boston stormtroopers stole the public’s guns. No one did much to help the ranchers who stood up against the FBI. Most of the public is asleep and hence, aiding the Communist coup
Impeach him for WHAT? FOR WHAT?
Because you don’t LIKE him? What a bunch of CHILDREN!
The Socialists are certifiable.
Yes, and all the sheeple have to be told is that there is a “terrorist” in their midst and they will all line themselves up to be executed. It’s all “for their safety” and most are not smart enough to figure out that the government IS the terrorist.
The several hundred thousand Trump had paid the porn queen and the slut bunny weren't enough.
They said, "pay us more or we'll talk and embarrass you in front of your wife and children AND it'll cost you the Presidency....
Blackmail.
So Trump paid the democrat sluts off... That's what the intelligence thugs have so far...
Now they'll go after him for any life choice he's made that might make suburban women reject him. Because 'intelligence' is working a coup against a duly elected President because they're no different than the old KGB thugs who chose Russian leaders - and leaders in every thugocracy since the dawn of time.
Michael Hayden Warns: Impeachment Would Be Viewed as Soft Coup>>>>>>>>
He’s right. And American patriots will stop using the ballot box and will use instead, the bullet box. Coups are not allowed in our Constitutionally approved transitions of power.
