Kaine: If Trump Went to His Intelligence Briefings, Maybe He’d Have a Different Conclusion

EXCERPT:

KAINE: "I can't go into that information but I can say this: those intelligence professionals, who I respect, have reached a unanimous conclusion that Russia engaged in cyber-attacks on the presidential election with the goal of influencing it in favor of the election of Donald Trump. They have reached that conclusion and they are people that I respect and so when I see the tweets that President-elect Trump sends out, one he is demeaning the professionalism and careers of smart people and second, I know that he doesn't go to his intelligence briefings most days. I do go to my intelligence briefings and I know what the evidence is. If he went to his intelligence briefings maybe he will have a different conclusion about this, but the thing that makes me very, very concerned, and I talked about this during the campaign, why does President-elect Trump again and again and again take it upon himself to be Vladimir Putin's defense lawyer rather than listening to and respecting the intelligence professionals in the United States?"
