Did Petraeus blackmail Hayward into being forced to say no to the NSA Job

Yes.

That is my gut instinct as well

OP must mean Vice Admiral Robert "Harward"
instead of his ignorant spelling.

He did not say Aye

So The Spelling of his name is not important to me anymore

You can either become an Asset

Or fade into history

And with saying nay.. Harward just faded into history

OP the fix is in. I think the whole of Washington is out to Screw Trump.

A Real Navy SEAL would have fought Petraeus's blackmail head on

I liked Harward.. a lot

Until he submitted

Harvard said after he saw Trump's first address he had no choice but to reject the offer.

Do you realize what you just implied

Every Single Man in the Military Does

You are supporting a Military Coup of The Commander in Chief

That is VERY Dangerous Water you are treading with your statement

do any of you morans ever read something besides stupid fake shit here?

If Harward was confident in his abilities to make The National Security Team more effective

He would have said Yes

Harward is retired United States Navy SEAL, you stupid Russian cock sucker

he said no cause Trump is incompetent.

Would you say yes with the establishment threatening to destroy everything you hold dear?

didn't think so.

So I am Russian because I support The Commander in Chief

And you are a US Military Patriot because you don't

That's some FINE logic you got there..

IF Harward felt that..

Then you make him MORE Competent by saying Yes

What that The Muslims Created ISIS

It was MI6..

And they don't brief too many Military Men of that

Betrayed us was invited last summer to the Bilderberg meeting, that should tell everyone a lot. as was Merkel and Graham.
