Anti-Trump letter's 58 'bipartisan' signers are mostly Obama officials

A so-called "Bipartisan" letter from 58 national security officials condemning the president's use of an emergency declaration for border security has almost nothing "Bipartisan" about it.

Teeing up an anti-Trump, open-borders narrative, Politico reported: "President Donald Trump - already facing opposition on his national emergency declaration from House Democrats and a collection of state attorneys general - will on Monday have to contend with a rebuke by a bipartisan group of 58 former national security officials denouncing the White House's directive."

Countless media publications, including CNN, Politico, the Washington Post, the Associated Press, and many more, claimed that the letter was bipartisan, offering credibility to the argument that these former national security officials are somehow neutral in their outlook.

WaPo: "A bipartisan group of 58 former senior national security officials will issue a statement Monday saying that 'there is no factual basis' for President Trump's proclamation of a national emergency to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border." https://t.

The president - already facing opposition on his national emergency declaration from House Democrats and a collection of state attorneys general - will on Monday have to contend with a rebuke by a bipartisan group of 58 former national security officials https://t.

A bipartisan group of 58 former senior national security officials - including Madeleine Albright and Chuck Hagel - say that "There is no factual basis" for Trump's proclamation of a national emergency.

Running the numbers on the so-called national security experts shows that the group is hardly bipartisan: 47 of 58 signatories to the letter served in the Obama administration.
