LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - More than 100 former Republican national security officials demanded on Monday that party leaders denounce President Donald Trump’s refusal to concede the presidential election, calling it a dangerous and anti-democratic assault on U.S. institutions.
Comprising some of the most senior national security officials in the Republican administrations of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Trump, the group decried the failure of most congressional Republicans to condemn Trump’s unwillingness to acknowledge Democratic President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the Nov. 3 election.
The group - Former Republican National Security Officials for Biden - which formed in August and whose members campaigned against Trump, was particularly critical of Republican congressional leaders in a published letter.
“By encouraging President Trump’s delaying tactics or remaining silent, Republican leaders put American democracy and national security at risk,” the group writes.
Members of the group include retired General Michael Hayden, who served as national security director and head of the CIA; William Webster, the only man to serve as both head of the CIA and FBI; and John Negroponte, the first director of national intelligence.
The Trump campaign has described Republican-led groups that backed Biden as disaffected former officials “trying to take down the duly elected president of the United States.” Trump on Twitter referred last year to “Never Trump Republicans” as “human scum.”

Former Republican National Security Officials for Biden - which formed in August and whose members campaigned against Trump, ...
No bias involved in their complaint :)
Guess they do not plan on being voted to any office EVER.
More like TRAITORS LIST!
They ARE scum. Democrats don’t have that problem. These people will never go without a big paycheck from someone or somewhere. My karma observations are for the elected ones.
Amazing how unconcerned they are about the “national security” of a rigged election with foreign interference. Ya know...that same thing they accused Trump of for 4 years with absolutely no evidence?
Only once he has exhausted his legal remedies. Then yes.
And move on to the aftermath.
More than one hundred Deep Staters demand that Americans surrender their sovereignty to the UN.
It’s silly gaslighting. Michael Hayden makes Bernie Sanders look like a Trumpist in comparison.
The President needs to pull all their security clearances and restrict their entry into federal buildings.
Ahhhh yes. Michael Hayden. There is a name I have not heard in some time. The most worthless Director of the CIA. Because when we need someone to run the National Clandestine Service, the US Air Force is the first place to go....while not having a HUMINT program itself at the time.
Hayden was only minimally qualified to run the gift shop at Langley.
Damn, there’s a lot of SCUMbag RINOs out there
SCREW’EM!!!
Can Trump get a more powerful endorsement than this?
It takes on a new meaning in these times. New, yet old, because there's nothing new under the sun.
New, because today is today, yet old, because Peter Graves in Stalag Seventeen.
Chinese money is EVERYWHERE...
Wait'll the "Republican Party" gets a load of winning no national elective offices any more because President Trump exposed them as "Loyal Opposition" sucks who are just there for the payday.
