President Donald Trump lashed out at former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates on Wednesday, just minutes before she was set to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Sally Yates has zero credibility, Trump tweeted, as Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was delivering his opening statement.
She was a part of the greatest political crime of the Century, and ObamaBiden knew EVERYTHING! Sally Yates leaked the General Flynn conversation? Ask her under oath. Republicans should start playing the Democrats game!
Graham is accusing former Justice Department officials of abusing their power by surveilling some Trumps associates during their investigation into Russias interference in the 2016 election.

(16,793 posts)Sally Yates tried to warn Trump of Michael Flynn's being compromised by the Russians.

(10,084 posts)And that made Yeats the enemy because if she knew Flynn was compromised, then she might know that Trump was too. Time to destroy her and the credibility of the FBI and intelligence agencies, which is exactly what he started doing and has never stopped.

(218 posts)Why did Sally Yates even respond to the subpoena?
I think that what's good for the Orange Tribe should be good for our side. Just say NO.
And IGNORE THEM.
Seriously, couldn't she have said the because of the uncontrolled outbreak of Covid 19 she wouldn't attend?
This is nothing but Graham doing his master's bidding.

(10,274 posts)They were exercising FISA warrants for russian communications coming into the US, (for which you need to convince a Federal FISA Court judge of legit probable cause) and the people on this end of the line JUST HAPPENED to be working for trumps campaign (as I understand it).
So, if trump didnt want his peeps getting wiretapped on phone calls with russian intelligence operatives, all they had to do WAS NOT BE ON THE PHONE WITH FUCKING RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE OPERATIVES.
But I suppose that would just be unacceptable.
There was a thread about it in here. Announcement was actually buried late last Friday and not a peep from the media on it. I only knew because a DUer posted it.
Every democrat here should just be reading that announcement and saying nothing else.
Oh, and Yates for AG!!!

(9,090 posts)as part of the "deep state russia hoax" defense he sold every show he did, lying about everyone involved
this was completely predictable to anyone who has listened to any limbaugh and these motherfucking republican ssenators are going to keep attacking and they're going to push to get all of the major dem names under oath, including obama
democrats need to go on offense and the most offensive thing they can do is stop ignoring rw radio - where all this starts.

(7,434 posts)you can bet the farm that Trumpy-Boy knows that Yates speaks the truth. That's been his pattern of deception since forever.

(7,813 posts)Accusing the witness, muddling up who the FISA warrant was about and for, interrupting and not letting Yates reply, and being an loudmouth idiot in general. Who hates Trump? That list is billions of names long.

On and on and on...about warrant applications and this name drop or that. It is theatre, a time-wasting, junk put-on by GOP senators willing to betray their titles for tRump.
