Tim Kaine: “25 of us wrote the administrational letter and said, give us…”

“What can you tell us about those strikes and the claims from the administration that the vessels were transporting narcotics? We have pressed the administration. On the 10th of September, 25 of us wrote the administrational letter and said, give us evidence that these craft were in fact, carrying narcotics. Give us your legal, legal rationale for striking them. And then, really importantly, tell us why you struck rather than interdicted. Because if you interdict, you seize evidence, you get people, you.” (05:58–06:07)
