"No American should tolerate these types of intrusions into the bedrock of our democracy."

According to a letter obtained by BuzzFeed News, high-profile intelligence experts are endorsing a bipartisan commission to investigate Russian hacking and "protect our democracy." The signers to support the legislation include former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, former U.S. ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, and former acting director of the CIA Michael Morrell, reported BuzzFeed. “This inquiry should occur immediately. Anything less than a swift investigation will leave us vulnerable to another attack and, possibly worse, permit and normalize future interference,” reads the letter signed by 15 national security experts.

The Russian hacking came to light when the U.S. intelligence community announced that hackers affiliated with senior Russian officials interfered with the election to help Trump by hacking the Democratic National Convention and releasing emails. The letter endorses legislation to form a bipartisan commission to investigate the hacks, introduced by Democratic Reps. Elijah Cummings and Eric Swalwell. The commission would create a 12-member panel made up of foreign policy, intelligence and election experts to examine attempts by the Russian government to influence the election, reported Roll Call. As it stands, no Republican has signed on to support the legislation.

When addressing investigations of Russian hacking, Trump said he wants to "move on to bigger and better things." However, ignoring the advice of high-ranking security experts could prove difficult.

"No American should tolerate these types of intrusions into the bedrock of our democracy. Our elections should always belong to us. When foreign interference occurs, both major political parties should unite and declare they will not tolerate it," the letter continues. "As such, it is inconceivable that we not seek to understand all aspects of what happened, including the mechanism by which the electronic hacks took place, the manner in which information collected was provided to those who released it to the public, the motives behind these efforts to influence our election, ways we can prevent future electoral interference, and how we should respond to future attacks."
