Former NSA Director Michael Hayden appeared on CNN’s New Day on Monday, where he said that Sally Yates‘ attempts to warn the White House about Michael Flynn are not a good sign for President Trump‘s administration.

Hayden told Chris Cuomo that if Yates insisted on speaking with the White House counsel so early on in the administration’s life, it’s a significant sign that something was amiss. Hayden’s commentary comes as Yates prepares to testify before the Senate about what she told the White House about Flynn’s Russian connections before she was fired by the administration.

“If the Acting Attorney General insists on seeing the White House counsel, that is a tectonic thing in its own right,” Hayden said. “It suggests one: the chaos in the Trump White House, second is the inordinate distrust of the officials from the government they were replacing, and third is going to feed that darker narrative out there with regard to the relationship with the Trump campaign and the Russian Federation.”

In terms of what James Clapper is likely to say at today’s hearing, Hayden said the former Director of National Intelligence would probably put forward new information about Russia’s attempts to interfere with the 2016 election. Cuomo noted how Clapper once said that he hasn’t seen evidence of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign, though Hayden responded that the matter was not conclusive at the time, and it is still subject to multiple government investigations.

1. This stinks of Trump's arrogant imperiousness.

You can't warn this jackass that "My General" has a problem with Russians, when Trump has dismissed these associations from Day One.

Whether Trump is in league or a patsy, his temperamental unfitness to be in the White House is clear.

2. My vote would be for Trump being a patsy but

if I was going to wager money on it my wager would be would be on members of Congress specifically the ones that have kept stonewalling any independent investigation into it as being more likely to have been involved in collusion with Russia.

3. THIS

and notably they may have had their own financial interests tied into this as well.

4. I vote all of the above.

I think that Drumpf paid Russia to steal the election for him and that Ryan and McTurtle were in on it along with the R's who are now part of his cabinet or doing their best to shield Hair Furor. These include Chaffetz, Nunes and who knows how many other traitors.

5. I doubt Trump paid Russia to help him since hes to cheap to pay people he owes money to

anyway but due to the stonewalling for an investigation into the actions of Russia in the election its smelling more and more like certain Repugnant members of Congress were up to their necks and in bed with Russia in some way.

6. It's the other way around

Trump has been taking money from Russia for a lot of years.

He's laundered money Russian mafia money in his casinos. He's sold them properties for ridiculously high profits (and they knew they were being taken) and he's also taken huge loans from them.

After 4 bankruptcies he couldn't get a loan from any American banks, so the Russians (Vladimir Putin) own him lock, stock and barrel.
This stuff is not secret, but the media wouldn't talk about it during his presidential campaign.

7. And this is why we need an independent investigation that can look into who

all was in bed with Russia and to find out if Trumps colluding with a foreign government or not.

8. Agreed and ASAP!
