Story highlights Tim Kaine compared Donald Trump's email comments to WatergateTrump's campaign manager accused Kaine of attempting to change the topicWashington (CNN) Hillary Clinton's running mate Tim Kaine compared Donald Trump's seeming encouragement of Russia to hack and release Clinton's emails to Watergate. "A president was impeached and had to resign over an attack on the DNC during a presidential election in 1972. This is serious business," Kaine, the Virginia senator and Democratic vice presidential candidate, said on ABC's "This Week." "But on the other hand we've got a candidate in Donald Trump who won't release his tax returns to the public after he promised to do so. And talk about national security -- he has openly encouraged Russia to engage in cyber hacking to try to find more emails or materials, and we know that this cyber attack on the DNC was likely done by Russia," Kaine said.
