Michael Hayden, the former director of the CIA, responded with a vague answer to a tweet that referred to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, a married couple who were executed in 1953 after sharing information about nuclear weapons with Russia, and now there’s a brand new controversy within all the other controversies surrounding the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s Florida home.

I mean, why have one controversy when you can have a zillion of them instead?

Mediaite reports that Hayden was responding to a tweet from MSNBC’s Michael Beschloss, who tweeted about the execution of the Rosenbergs. Beschloss didn’t mention Trump in his tweet.

Hayden responded, “Sounds about right.”

And as you might expect, even though Hayden also didn’t refer to Trump, it set the Twitterati speculations in motion, with some folks wondering if Hayden was suggesting that Trump should meet the same fate.

“NBD just a former NSA & CIA Director (who was among the dozens of ex-intel officials who signed the infamous October 2020 Hunter Biden laptop letter) out here suggesting that Trump should be executed,” wrote Washington Examiner’s Jerry Dunleavy in a tweet.

The letter Dunleavy refers to is a document signed by intelligence officials who dismissed the younger Biden’s duly noted laptop as Russian disinformation.

Hayden is a retired Air Force General and has served under three presidents — Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.

According to The Washington Post in a report Thursday, the FBI executed the search of Mar-a-Lago to seek classified documents related to nuclear weapons. And Trump is all a-snort over this, taking to Truth Social to diss the report Friday.

“Nuclear weapons issue is a Hoax, just like Russia, Russia, Russia was a hoax, two Impeachments were a hoax, the Mueller investigation was a Hoax, and much more. Same sleazy people involved,” he wrote.

So whatever Hayden meant when he responded to Dunleavy’s tweet is a controversy that’s really much ado about nothing. There’s always another controversy right around the corner. I’m sure I’ll be telling you about it on Monday.
