Mark Warner: Trump’s ‘Disrespect’ Toward Intelligence Professionals Is ‘Flabbergasting’

‘What we’re looking at here is unprecedented unanimity from 17 different intelligence agencies saying that there was Russian interference in the elections’

WARNER: "I think the most important thing the intelligence community can always do is speak truth to power and it seems like perhaps the President-elect doesn’t want to hear those truths. I know he’s met with certain members of the Intel community but clearly not in the same way that President Bush or President Obama did in their transition. And what we’re looking at here is unprecedented unanimity from 17 different intelligence agencies saying there was Russian interference in the election and there is widespread bipartisan concern here in the Senate about trying to make sure we get to the bottom of this. I find his kind of disrespect to the literally thousands of intelligence professionals who keep this country safe frankly flabbergasting."
