1. The CIA illegally collected intelligence on Donald Trump prior to his election to the Presidency

2. This intelligence was specifically of a compromising nature to President Trump

3. This intelligence was retained and can be retrieved at a moments notice

4. The retired DCI, who is no longer a government employee, somehow retains his read ins, Need to Know or accesses or...

5. Has personnel working within the IC who do have access to this information that would give it to him.

6. That the DCI has provided the existence of this information to Jeff Bezos

7. Bezos then provides a PUBLIC position for this person on the Amazon board as a way to pay for access to this information that Jeff will then ostensibly have as a "secret weapon" to blackmail a sitting President

This type of conjecture is on par with other conspiracy theories which are so far from realistic that they defy logic to believe. I'd love to see the combined probability estimate for something like this.

Others have said it better - Hayden knows the DoD and IC process for IT basically better than anyone, and can help Amazon win more business.

The end.

Pretty simple.
