NEW: More than 300 former national security and foreign policy officials signed a letter released Friday labeling President Trump’s Ukraine actions a “profound national security concern.”

“President Trump appears to have leveraged the authority and resources of the highest office in the land to invite additional foreign interference into our democratic processes. That would constitute an unconscionable abuse of power. It also would represent an effort to subordinate America’s national interests—and those of our closest allies and partners—to the President’s personal political interest,” the letter’s authors wrote.

The letter’s authors said that “our relations with the rest of the world and our policies on the global stage must be based solely on what is in the national interest” and that “the introduction of any other considerations of the President debases our democracy, has the potential to make us more vulnerable to threats, and sends a message to leaders around the world that America’s foreign policy can be dangerously corrupted by catering to a single individual.

The authors refer to a formal impeachment inquiry as an “imperative” that will help “ascertain additional facts and that they “applaud those Members of Congress, including Speaker Pelosi, who have now started us down that necessary path.”of revelations surrounding Trump's apparent push to have the Ukrainian government investigate Joe Biden's son.

U said it - former - corrupt af shits

Name their political affiliations please. I like to see the “full story” but that’s not how you jackals spin it.

The final episode of the Apprentice POTUS reality show is drafted and final script is being approved by CIA, NSA & DNI alumni. ImpeachTheMF

Razztawesome Brownsgr43

OFFICIALS WHO ARE NOT CURRENTLY WORKING HAVE SIGNED A LETTER, STATING THAT SOMETHING FISHY IS GOING ON, EVEN THOUGH THEY WEREN'T THERE TO WITNESS ANYTHING BACK TO YOU TOM!

Let's see how long the republicans in the senate hold out in a continuing effort to backup trump. Before all they ' re credibility and re-elecability Forever Disappears.

Holy moly! Another stern and patriotic letter.!! Look out!

Very proud of these people. Please unify and speak out!

President realDonaldTrump outed a corrupt joebiden he should be applauded not attacked..Presidents job is to protect the country from unsavory characters. and he is doing just that. Seems to be the Socialist DEM way , ignore it if it is one of their own.

America's greatest security threat sits in the Oval Office, threatening our national security, democracy, constitution, rule of law, our American values, ideals, rights & equalities, our very way of life, our environment, humanity, respect & stability in the word. Unfit.

Quid pro Joe and his drug addicted alcoholic son are in big trouble

Ask them why Admiral Mike Rogers went to Trump Tower behind Obama's back

Couldn't find more than 300 Demonrat deep state stogies?

Sworn statement of former Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor joebiden threatened to withhold 1 Billion $ and got him fired to protect his son. There are affidavits connected to this ,the media and Dems refuse to acknowledge them? Link to the affidavit:

That's a long winded way to say, 300 Democrats signed something. 🙄

And I’m sure that will not make a difference

I just hope the Dems, when faced with refusals and stonewalling, file with the courts right away and stop being accommodating pussies.

The latest polls on voter approval of the opening of the Democratic impeachment inquiry show voter are tired of the corruption. Unlike the Mueller investigation which was run and controlled by republicans. Comey, Mueller, Rosenstein, Barr. This time it's real!

OBAMA Appointees !!! Hahahaha

Should amount to something but will it?

ZZZZZZZZZ

Same folks wrote letters and touted Trump would never win the election. Sighhhh...I’ll go back to watching paint dry.

The profound national security concern is that these so called national security officials and foreign policy officials are complicit in a conspiracy against POTUS. There is a CancerInTheIntelligenceCommunity.

And we all know how trustworthy those folks are 🙄

Voice4Silent Did Trump do what they should have done?

The deep state

I have noticed that intelligence agencies seem to be involved in almost all of these claims. They changed requirements for whistleblower complaints, it's their staff making claims, etc. Seems like an IA coup and the Dems are willing participants.

While I applaud his and have long said that we must depend on our country’s military, judges, and spooks to save us from the horror that is a Russian puppet, I also say where have you guys been? Hello!?

The key here is former

Of course deep state obama cronies

Same guys who started the Iraq war.

Who cares?

I would love to see those names please and thank you!

But Obama and Biden doing that is no problem. It’s either fake news on Trump or media all in for progressive socialism.

Is that the same 300 Ukranians that helped Hillary manufacture dirt on Trump?

All Democrats?

Fake news

‘Former’ being the key word.

What party did they belong to?

Yet MoscowMitch will ignore it

Who cares...DOJ said, NO CRIME COMMITTED. And, Biden's video is damning him AND OBAMA...so why are we focused on Trump where we should be focused on THEM?

What kind of security secrets did he disclose

You forgot 300 FORMER Democrats!! Give it up NBC you aren’t going to get him impeached as hard as you try, you only look like the fake news organization that you are!!!

Show me that Letter unretouched

U know it’s a lie and u should start reporting the Democrats corruption

As a veteran I stand with Trump and will defend him to the end

You did this the last three scandals the President was supposedly a part of LOL. Seriously same story just updated it....so stupid.

The deep state swamp creatures have spoken. Whatever

Translation: The democrat party is a national security concern & enemy of the american people. As long as we don't vote them out of office for good, corruption & lies will continue to go on about our president. They are evil people who harbors hatred against american people.

This president sure has upset the status quo. Global establishment powers aren’t happy. They expect compliant politicians so they can further their big money goals & screw us. Most people see what’s going on. The corrupt media is owned or ruled by them. VoteGOP in every state!

How does someone (eg Biden) get a job for $50k/month with no experience, knowledge or education related to said job? 🤔 It defies logic unless there was corrupt intent and a quid pro quo. The average American can clearly see the corruption in this. smh FakeNewsMedia

SwampThings

'300 former national security... Officials' AKA the DeepState

This is hilarious since it is meaningless Trump2020Landslide no one trusts a democrat anymore knowing what Biden was up to and Clinton did Beto literally ending his run with 7 words. What are the other candidates hiding at least Trump admits what he's doing and doesn't hide it.

And millions of Americans that can read and comprehend English don’t feel like he did a single thing wrong.

Fake news. Creepy Uncle Joe is the real story. MAGA2020

300 democrats?!? 😂

300 Democrat operatives to sign a letter isn’t hard to find. The republicans would do the same if it were a democrat president. Meaningless.

Do you know who is extremely quiet about the Ukraine thingy? BarackObama. Why? Because JoeBiden said too much, as usual. “This is a big f***ing deal”

And who are these 300+ folks?

Soon Trump will be out of Office that will be good for us

Oh ok...do you have a list of the security and foreign policy officials names fake news NBC?

Sorta like the day he was elected.

Globalists/Communists thought they had this nation wrapped up and then TRUMP HAPPENED. From everything I've read this is a big fat nothing burger and JUST WAIT until the truth can no longer be hidden. Democrats Clinton Ukraine - let the light shine 'YUGELY' Let truth PREVAIL

Hey , no one cares about what a bunch of unelected government buerocrats think about the bad orange man. Psst... 2016 called. They want yall to deal with the election results.

Wow. Wonder who they found to sign the spontaneous grass roots attack letter on Trump. Hey look! Ben Rhodes!

The jig is up !!

300 fools unworthy of commentary

like finding 300 biased liberals that had government jobs is hard...

Even Trumpers know it’s wrong, despite what they publicly say. Trump needs to be impeached NOW

At this stage trump is a national security issue affecting long term security, not only of us but many other countries.

And Ireland wants Trump to F.O. and never come back again...

realDonaldTrump is burning down the house -WhiteHouse ImpeachmentInquiry

Do You Agree?

How many are paid by George Soros?

Let me guess all Clinton and Obama appointees.

F them all! 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽

Keyword...FORMER

This is it. Trump is collapsing in real time before our eyes.

I would be interested to see what they think of joe and bo situation .

Strange, didn't something also similar happen during BrettKavanaugh hearing...? Or maybe it as Attorneys stating that AGBarr should recuse himself from Russia Probe...? Can Democrats at least be somewhat original..?

ImpeachTrumpNow

True2self6 Forex robot unveiled for easy and profitable trading... DM me on how you can trade and earn more on forex

Probably the same 300 who said they would never work in a Trump administration if he was elected.. nobody cares about people your digging, HRC and Obama did the same thing.. do t remember the impeachment talk

Can you even fathom what conversations took place with Putin?

Anyone with common sense knows this is a national security concern...

Delusional dangerous destructive demonic demagogue. Time is up!

ElHenderz I believe that a lot more ProfoundNationalSecurityConcerns will be emerging.... This idiot can't help himself. He's an evil person that will leverage anything, including America to promote his own agenda. WhistleblowerComplaint Impeach45 ImpeachTrump ImpeachTheMF

I'm beginning to think that electing a mobbed up reality TV star as POTUS was not such a good idea.

I've said it before, Trump is a liability to the nation, Trump make everything worse. Healthcare, gun control, racism, immigration, climate change, civil, human, women's & LGBTQ rights, Russia, N.Korea, E.U., IRAN, Venezuela, Afganistan. the national debt, income taxes, tariffs,

Former.... were they all fired by Trump?

I like 'Former '.

All democrats again nothing is going to happen keep your LGBT panties on cause nothing illegal by trump has been done... Foreign leaders that want a safe and fair world love president trump... foreign leaders that want to take over America love the Dumb Dems

That's bad when the POTUS can't be trusted.

Baby Trump wont like this. Expect a twitter tirade.

300 traitors that should be hanged

45 should resign immediately. Advisors could tell him that he can call it bankruptcy - a term he's dearly familiar with.

Ah folks, if you monitor the syphilletic rants coming from the deranged cheeto in chief, say right now and on any given day, you're going to come to the conclusion 'concerning' is an understatement.

This is the same as the KGB deciding it was time for Khrushchev to go. We are getting to live history.

Cue Republican “PARTISAN!” claim 🙄

All Liberals or RINOS for sure. Concern of Americans that national security and foreign policy deep state officials on and off the job have collaborated to take down a duly elected President. Shameful!

I hear trumpets of justice 🎺🎺

Only ones that believe anything you say are demonrats

Is 'concern' impeachable?

The SWAMPGANG hates this President. Their power and influence is zero with Trump 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you for this tidbit. 'National Security Action, a nonprofit chaired by two former staffers who served in President Barack Obama's administration' Wonder how many were asked to sign...

Any names?

LIBERALS SAY EVERYONE IS CORRUPT BUT THEM ITS ALL US AND THEY ARE SO INNOCENT AND TRUE BLUE

I'm sure if you spent 5 mins, you'd find 300 that would not say this. Ask a prosecutor or defense attorney if hearsay would be admissible in a court of law. It shouldn't be for impeachment.

Are this so called 300 anything like when msnbc said Hillary would win Only if it was believable

Where's the outrage over JoeBiden and his BLATANT admission of bribery? WE even have him on tape bragging about it?

RESIGN or get HUMILIATED all over the world and Social/political circles. Waiting for the financial documents. No more free ride.

Fake news pushing a CIA impeachment operation against legitimately elected President.

Lol here they go with their letters again

perrytheironwo1 He is not your normal politician, he is still the godfather like in his old days

Look at the Trumpites replying...calling on Obama, Biden to be investigated. They have no other game plan than to deflect and bring out the people who truly served our country. Unlike Mr. Trump who serves only himself. Choking on the koolaid.

NBC29 Did they all work for the Obama administration?

RobertFife 300 million people and you found 300 partisans? Who cares. Impeach him and start your civil war already.

All globalists, supporters of one world one govt, socialist, want all the power with govt. And leftist media values them. When the time comes when govt start telling what to eat how much eat, only then these people will realise.

That is so stupid. You report what Trump haters think. Great reporting.

Because they are all Corrupt And they are afraid of DrainTheSwamp Just look at the recent failed investigations on realDonaldTrump , and the circus continues.

You mean “more than 300 members of the Deep State.” THEY are the profound national security concern.

Hello GOP?

Former and ex- meaning private citizens now out of the loop except for toxic spin by the media

The unelected ? That's nice ….next

Former

Ah, the old 'conviction by consensus'. Classic trick of people who have no evidence. This is the same game they play with climate change. If so many scientists agree, then why aren't we hearing from them?

What's the reason the are former officials, all Obama administration?

Just say 300 democrats😂😂😂😂😂😂

And that's why they are ex... Their opinions don't matter. Wake up NBC. You are being sold a bill of goods that will make you look sillier than you already do.

HOW MANY TIMES DO PROFESSIONALS HAVE TO WRITE AND SIGN A LETTER FOR THIS PRESIDENT TO BE REMOVED? Yes, I'm yelling.

trump don't care he's king....did you forget?

That's why they are 'former'.

Here. Attach this to 2 arrest warrants.

It’s time to release the transcripts of all of the Obama calls.

Blah. Blah. Blah.

Truly...

Put him in jail!
