Michael Hayden Lays Out How the #DeepStateCoup started #SpyGate









Hayden: The Patriot Act states the US Government can only intercept international calls.

















CBS Lesley Stahl: It had to be overseas [like the United Kingdom]

























Hayden: And we already had reason to believe that one or both ends of the call were affiliated with Al Qaeda.

Stahl: Besides government lawyers assured him that the President's authority as Commander in Chief trumped the 1978 law. In their view the program was both legal and Constitutional though he acknowledges just barely.

Hayden: Hey! I knew we were playing up against the line.

Stahl: What you're telling us is that you went into this knowing that if it came out

Hayden: Oh God, yes!

Stahl: There's be questions of legality.

Hayden: Of course! And appropriateness. And abuse.

Stahl: That's why you didn't want it to come out.

Hayden: No

Stahl: That's what Jim Risen says. You didn't want to be embarrassed.


















Hayden: Let me turn it, OK? Jim is going to go to jail. Why? [leaning forward in a slightly more ominous tone] Because Jim wants . to . protect . his . sources.  We're [Hayden and Stahl ] both in the same business. You and me. Jim and me. You have sources [ Stahl nods her head] who remain productive only as long as you can protect them from exposure [either Mike is trying to establish a familiar bond with Lesley or else he's threatening her and any of her sources that may have made international telephone calls that he's possibly been spying on].  Exposing our tactics, techniques, procedures, sources, and methods harms us as much as Mr. Risen would be harmed if he were forced in court to expose his source.
