Sally Yates: A Long-Neck DUD

[Tom Horn]

She was the one who was finally supposed to "bring Trump down", right?

Talk about a letdown....I watched the whole thing and damn near fell asleep. She reminded me of a Jerry Springer guest who got a job, was almost immediately fired, and wants revenge. How stupid is she thinking she could cross the President? What did she "reveal"?....that she had no idea what she was talking about in refusing to defend the travel-ban. That's it. The rest of it was about Flynn, who we already know got fired for appearances sake, nothing that he did wrong. So that's the end of the Sally Yates saga, unless the Nature Channel wants to do a story on giraffe genes passed down to humans.

Sally's great-great-great-great-granny:

Born in Atlanta in 1960, Yates attended the University of Georgia both as an undergrad and a law student -- becoming what the home of the Bulldogs calls a "double dawg."

Three years after graduating from UGA, she began her career that has spanned almost three decades within the Justice Department, according to her DOJ biography page.

In 1996, Yates aided with the prosecution of Eric Rudolph, who pleaded guilty to bombing Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta during the Olympic ceremonies.

In 2010, Obama appointed her to run the local US attorney's office, the first time a woman had reached the position there.

She subsequently climbed the DOJ ladder almost to the very top. When former Attorney General Eric Holder informed Obama of his intention to leave the office, Obama tapped Loretta Lynch for attorney general and Yates for deputy.

Unlike Lynch, who faced a divided Senate for confirmation, Yates made it through her Senate grilling with wide, bipartisan support. Georgia Sens. Johnny Isakson and David Perdue -- both Republicans -- spoke on her behalf.

Sally Yates testifies and the alt right is running for cover

Yates' testimony will push the story of the Trump campaign's alleged ties to Russia back into the headlines, especially, if expected, she asserts that she warned Trump campaign officials that Flynn, the now-deposed national security adviser, was not telling the full truth about his contacts with Russian ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak.

Both White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and press secretary Sean Spicer have asserted that Yates passed along information about which the White House counsel checked out and found nothing.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly insisted that the Russia investigations on Capitol Hill -- and the idea that senior members of his campaign were closely involved with Russian intelligence officials -- are "fake news," a theme he kept up on Twitter Sunday.

SHHHHH, maybe no one will notice

 

[Rambunctious]

There is no Russian and Trump collusion and the left wing nuts are going crazy trying to keep the fake story alive. There is no there there and the dems realize that they followed the butthurt fake news media right down a Russian hole in the ground. The dems have mud on their face today! Trump wins again!

It's kind of pathetic! That's all Trump's ever got; insults, conspiracy theories, & everyone else is LYING! He's FOS!

You could tell ol Sally wasn't going to fall on Obama's sword today. Niether was Clapper. The angry one today is Obama.

 

[Rambunctious]

Just look at the sad angry faces in the WH press conference going on as we speak. The media knows the Russian/Trump team story is dead for good. And they don't like it.

trump swabs like to squawk about how there is supposedly "NO EVIDENCE" of collusion with Russia.

trumpswab parrots squawk and squawk the headline, "NO EVIDENCE" !!!

in the middle of trying to investigate in order to prove if there is a legitimate case, do you really think investigators should just openly publish all the EVIDENCE as they go along..??

FACT is, the investigation is still ongoing...

naturally, the 'no evidence' assertion is inevitably qualified with a 'YET' or a 'SO FAR' or a 'NOT AT THIS TIME'.


“I know that you and some of your colleagues from the Senate Intelligence Committee drove over to Langley, Virginia yesterday to CIA headquarters and you were briefed,” CNN host Wolf Blitzer said. He continued, “You don’t have to provide us with any classified information, Senator, but do you believe, do you have evidence that there was in fact collusion between Trump associates and Russia during the campaign?”

“Not at this time,” Feinstein replied.


Sen. Feinstein: No evidence of Trump campaign collusion with Russia ‘at this time’ - Hot Air




"Senator Graham opened by asking both Clapper and Yates about whether either had intelligence that would confirm collusion between the Trump administration and the Kremlin. Clapper once again said there is no evidence of such collusion and Yates refused to answer on the basis that such an answer would reveal classified information."




*CLAPPER: STILL TRUE HE DOESN'T KNOW OF TRUMP-RUSSIA COLLUSION

*YATES SAYS SHE CAN'T ANSWER QUESTION ABOUT POSSIBLE COLLUSION

[BlindBoo]

I donno, she looks pretty good for 57. Her demeanor is that of a 27 year veteran prosecutor.

The good old boys club has no use for strong women.

Trumph couldn't handle being told by this woman that his EO was unlawful and his National Security Adviser was compromised by Russia, so he fired her.

Another one of TGrumps lies. He is not a good judge of character. Not at all.

I see that she truly intimidates you.

Remember if Clinton had won Sally would be her AG at the DOJ.

did it ever occur to you that mr flynn is the one who fell on his sword with the false narrative that POTUS and VP didn't know??

You'd think one of them might have thought to ask what she was going to say before the big buildup. Another Rachael Madcow and her "Trump tax returns" fiasco.
