Klobuchar: Issue Isn’t the Leaks, It’s Who Flynn Talked to and What About

EXCERPT:

KLOBUCHAR: "My reaction is, first of all, this has been going on way before through the Trump campaign before they were even in office. You had the campaign chair resign over issues related to Russia. And while they are free to look at leak, that's fine. I think, you just heard Bob Corker, the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, you know, Obama had run a tight ship. You didn't see these kinds of things. That is not the issue here. The issue is that after only 26 days the president's national security adviser has resigned. The fact that you had 17 intelligence agencies say that Russia tried to influence our election and on the very day that the prior administration put in place sanctions that both parties had called for, that day, you have the national security adviser calling the Russian ambassador and talking about this. We still don't know what he said. And, so, I think what you see here, they're fine asking about leaks here and there. That's not the issue. The issue is, who did he talk to? What did he say? How long has this been going on? And most importantly, the why -- who, what, where, why -- why were they so concerned about placating the Russians, about trying to get them on their side with the president saying things like, oh, Vladimir Putin is basically like our own leaders in America, which we know is just not true.”
