Sen. Kaine: W.H. Made it ‘Very Plain’ They’re Upset I’m Supporting Corker Bill on Iran

‘They don’t like the bill; they don’t like me being on the bill’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BARNICLE: "Can you verbalize? What does the White House say if terms of the pushback and your efforts for the bill?" 
KAINE: "Well, they don't like the bill. They don't like me being on the bill. They've made that very plain. However, when I started to work with senator corker on an earlier version that he had that I didn't support, we started to work together in January. Then we filed the bill in late February. The White House has given me every bit of information I need when I have questions of the technical aspects of the deal. They provided information. No Congress shouldn't be weighing in on this. My argument is, look, you are arguing over a statute. That is the core of this negotiation. What will Iran do to get out from under statutory sanction, Congress is going to be involved. The only question is will it be according to some deliberate process or free for all rules and I think we're trying to set up our deliberate process."
