Ask a Pol asks:

After the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence — or HPSCI — was given a classified SCIF briefing on the drones sightings over the east coast this week, do you all plan to ask for one in the Senate?

Key Kaine:

“We have a more in-depth briefing later this week — [Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Mark] Warner and I and the Virginia delegation on, ‘Okay, a year after Langley, like, what can you tell us? And what can't you?’ If there's stuff you don't know, they don't know it for a year,” Sen. Tim Kaine exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “We don’t think they know stuff they're not telling us, we're shocked at the amount of stuff that they don't know.”

Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s exclusive Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), slightly edited for clarity.

TRANSCRIPT: Sen. Tim Kaine

SCENE: After leaving the stakeout for Tuesday’s House SCIF briefing, Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo’s heading back to his cubicle in the Capitol when he runs into Sen. Kaine. Laslo drops everything and proceeds to ride an elevator with Kaine as he heads to the Senate floor to vote.

The interview starts with Laslo filling Kaine in on Tuesday’s House Intel briefing…

Matt Laslo: “One thing they didn't bring up is the US relying on 60 RAF forces over in the UK to help our four bases there.

Tim Kaine: “Right.”
