Former National Security Agency (NSA) Director Michael Hayden said on Wednesday that Hillary Clinton should not have used a single account for all her emails as secretary of State.

“It’s stupid and dangerous,” Hayden, who led the CIA during George W. Bush’s presidency, said during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Hayden said that “you put a really juicy target out there” by combining official and unofficial exchanges on the same email account, as Clinton did.

He said doing so puts the secretary and nation’s secrets at risk, and questioned its legality, noting that government accounts provide a certain level of security.
