Ex-CIA chief: McCain and I disagreed but he never thought I should lose clearance
By Morgan Gstalter - 08/26/18 05:38 PM EDT

Former CIA Director Michael Hayden honored Sen. John McCain after the Arizona Republican died on Saturday, saying that while they disagreed, McCain never advocated for Hayden to lose his security clearance.

“While I was at CIA, Senator JOHN McCain ripped me a new one on several occasions,” Hayden tweeted on Sunday. “But not once did he think I shouldn’t have a security clearance. Go figure. RIP, American hero.”

Well of course...McCain was not a true American... he loved him some ISIS. And anything ...like obamacare, that was communist.

Hayden seems almost feminine. Like a mousy teenage girl.

The complete opposite of a tough combat troop.


Rather a wimpy weak desk jockey.

a lying pencil neck geek.

Perhaps Ex-CIA man of self importance, Hayden can hurry his suicide
so we can also respect him.

I very much doubt that Haden and McCain ever had a serious disagreement about anything.  But that's just me!

It is honestly scary that a guy that dumb (and/or dishonest) was running the CIA at some point.  Read his actual statement closely:

Trump didn't take a security clearance from someone who was "AT CIA."  He took from from someone who "USED TO BE at CIA."  Either Hayden is too stupid to understand the distinction, or he knows the difference, but thinks he can get away with making an inherently dishonest statement.  What a putz....
