(CNN)Michael Hayden, a former director of the CIA and National Security Agency, suffered a stroke earlier this week, his family said Friday.

In a statement, the family said Hayden, 73, suffered the stroke at his home and was hospitalized but did not provide details about the stroke's severity.

"He is receiving expert medical care for which the family is grateful," the statement said.

Hayden, a retired four-star Air Force general who is now a CNN national security analyst, served during both the George W. Bush and Obama administrations. He retired as CIA director in 2009.

Since then, he has been a vocal critic of both the Obama and Trump administrations.

He's one of the good ones. Let's hope it wasn't a debilitating stroke.

1. My heart aches for him and family ..

Great fella from Pittsburgh...

[Vinca]

2. I hope he'll be able to recover without lasting problems. He's a very good man.

3. I wonder if he still had his security clearance...

...or if it was pulled.

I'm hoping that this incident was caused by something so horrid and shocking about Trump that it will mean the end of our misery.

4. That's sad. I hope it wasn't too bad and he is able to recover.

He is usually pretty active on twitter going after Trump and his lackeys. This explains the silence the past few days.

5. Well, it wasn't from the strain of combat.

As a careerist, Hayden avoided all combat, just like Cadet BoneSpurs.

Here is he denying the 4th amendment has anything to do with probably cause WHILE fukcing over every American on earth.

6. Had to go back almost 13 years to find that snippet? How kind of you.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

8. Agreed.

[Polybius]

9. You're comparing a General's military service to Trumps?

He was in the Air Force from 1967–2008. If he avoided combat, it was a coincidence of pure luck.

7. Watch the Dotard-in-Chief make light of this!

No kidding! So will his weird RW evangelicals. Just watch.....
