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.”

Biden promised not to claim victory at this point. But whatever.
Bob Dole is an honorable man and does not deserve to be pictured with those two traitors.
The deep state speaks. I think Sidney Powel is about to out the lot of them, regardless of party.
I fixed Reuter's title for them. The Bush Crime Family is despicable.
FORMER members of the INTEL CARTEL— scared shiteless that their 20 plus year mil industrial SCAM is going to be broken up— INCLUDING their close partnership with International illegal drug operations...like the Mexican Cartels or even, dare one say it, Manuel Noriega (Panama was invaded because of his “not playing along” with the Bush machine and see eye ehhhh cash flow from dope. How about that for a premise on their
“concerns” about the assault on democratic institutions— Republicans (RINOS!!) worried about “our MOBOCRACY” they make money out of. The gravy train is threatened— by The PEOPLE of the United States.
They let you know what they are by the expression of their fears. It is NOT their fears that the entire USA will be a vassal state of Communist China— no, they’re good with that.
Holy Crap-— the roaches are running across the kitchen floor seeking the dark edges away from the LIGHT that heals, and uh— kills.
Not to debate the merits of this, but hundreds of people do not just at random come together to issue a statement or sign a letter. Doesn’t happen. Most of these people are also no-names. Yet the press reports it as though it makes sense...every time.
Republicans always cave. Situation Normal.
Trump deserves another 4 years based on middle-east peace alone. I just heard on Newsmax Bibi made a trip to Saudi Arabia in secret.
Michael Hayden-— an AIR FORCE zoomie Satanist of the Cabal— serious.. big D for DEEP STATE and DEMONRAT. A picture of “virtue” and “patriotism” that stops at his office door, and does NOT ENTER further.
Look at that flaming a@@hole. Brent Scowcoft’s buddy inheritor.
Surprised they didnt ask him to concede November 1
Maybe some of them are dirty and afraid some of there little secrets may com out. Powell said there maybe democrats and republicans mixed up in this.
Only once he has exhausted his legal remedies. Then yes.
************
If it was Biden pursuing his legal remedies they would say to let it play out as that’s how the system should work.
The Republican party oughtta just move into the Dem camp—make it official already.
MAGA party-—let’s GOOOooooooooooooooo!!!
Key word: FORMER
We need to keep a list!!!
They are all dirty!!!
Trump is like the chemical they throw on ground to harvest earthworms. That chemical irritates skins of earthworms and they come flying out of the ground, to be scooped up for fish bait or fertilizer or whatever other use.
I used to see this done by ground maintenance at Royal Oaks Golf & Country club where I was a member for several years.
More precisely WITH FABRICATED manufactured “crimes” filtered through illegally obtained FISA warrants for surveillance of -— thousands of Americans and the entire Trump Campaign and himself. Not only no evidence— but evidence against General Flynn that was completely set up and actuated by a former President during (and the losing candidate 2 years before Trump declared running) the transition. The transition he never got— or 4 years without these same a@@holes trying to get him out- because he will expose their crap, and actually get PEACE out of areas they have milked and massaged for WAR PROFITEERING for decades. Afghanistan for instance.
Yes— they have no problem with that— because this is a CLUB of thugs, who have not had USA’s national interest in their concepts (except that THEY, are the national interest telling us and owning us, what to do— the globalist goals that pay them so well).
They sure do want a concession from Trump, don’t they?
They’re running out of time before the deadline for Joe to stroke-out and be replaced.
“More than 100 former Republican national security officials demanded on Monday....”
Former? Demanded?
Doesn’t the first kind of preclude the second?
