"Leon Panetta, a former CIA director, said Trump's comments were "beyond the pale" because he was "in fact asking the Russians to engage in American politics." An aide to House Speaker Paul Ryan, who has endorsed Trump, added, meanwhile, that "Russia is a global menace led by a devious thug" and that it should stay out of the U.S. election. Philip Reiner, a former National Security Council official in the Obama administration, called Trump a "scumbag animal." "Hacking email is a criminal activity. And he's asked a foreign government — a murderous, repressive regime — to attack not just one of our citizens but the Democratic presidential candidate? Of course it's a national security threat," he added. And William Inboden, who served on the NSC during the George W. Bush administration, said Trump's comments were "tantamount to treason.""
