Sally Yates and the Trump-Russia Probe

Yates’s testimony pumps the bellows on the Trump-Russia probe

Where there is smoke there is not necessarily fire. But there is so much smoke from the Trump-Russia probe that you can’t get near it without a respirator. Monday’s hearing further pumped the bellows.

I listened to most of it and came to the conclusion they have no evidence against Trump.

Just innuendo.

"Yates, a career prosecutor until Barack Obama tapped her to be the No. 2 at the Justice Department, recalled the questions the White House counsel had about Flynn: Why did DOJ care? Would DOJ pursue a criminal case? Wouldn’t taking action against Flynn interfere with an investigation? And could he see the evidence?" (Washington Post By Dana Milbank Opinion writer May 8 at 7:20 PM}

Interesting questions posed to Yates....although her "answers" to the questions would have provided some relevance to her "recollection", which without such "answers" is simply irrelevant wasted column space.


Sally Yates and the Trump-Russia Probe ~

Hot Air! Sally was miffed when no one dropped everything and placed a feather in her cap, for her calling a top priority meeting, for "her to whisper her supposed secret news" and "opinion thereof".

She had previously told the Trump campaign that security advisor Michael Flynn may have left himself vulnerable to blackmail attempts from Moscow after lying about conversations with the Russian Ambassador to Washington. The Independent

Yaba Daba do ~ Flynn had conversations with the "Russian Ambassador" about what? Russian Vodka?
Russian weather? American accommodations and comfortable office chairs? Russian likes about Trump? And?

Yates felt Flynn "MAY HAVE left himself vulnerable to blackmail attempts".....AND? How does Yates know Flynn's weaknesses to blackmail? AND? Without attempted "blackmail", why is her opinion relevant?

Yates lack of professionalism....

Flynn may have been compromised, and Trump fires the one who brought it to the attention of the White House. I cannot fathom why you guys do not even think an investigation is warranted.

Your loyalty is admirable...in a puppy.

The several branches and subordinate offices of the Federal government have investigative powers and exercise them regularly, whether or not the public is aware of them conducting investigations.

Politicians and "news" reporters sensationalizing investigations as if they are out of the ordinary and the nightly updated "speculations", as if their "speculations" have merit in the "investigation" is the comedy of the whole platitude.

Your loyalty is admirable...in a puppy.

Actually it is more about lack of interest in speculation, and willing to wait for the outcome, while other more important things are being tended to.

Outcome of what, exactly? If nothing is being investigated (mixed messages even from The Orange One), then how can there be an outcome?

Trump fired Sally Yates because she wouldn't defend his moratorium on Muslims coming into the country for a certain period of time. Like someone pointed out last week, who appointed her to the Supreme Court to decide the constitutionality of things? She was an Obama/Democrat political hack and Trump was right to send her packing.

Are you equally as concerned about who from the Obama administration illegally leaked General Flynn's name in the first place? This person needs to be found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Of course.

Are you equally concerned about having a compromised individual as National Security Advisor?

Ah yes, try to change it from being about the White House and Michael Flynn to being about Sally Yates.

Another poster in another thread made this comment: "My theory has always been if I don't know about something, look at how Nancy Pelosi views it and I take the opposite position." Unfortunately, I think that this mentality has become more common (perhaps the norm) in Conservative circles.

I think that we are seeing what happens to Conservatism when people ignorantly take positions simply because of tribal loyalty. The post-Carter Reagan-type optimism, which we should be experiencing after the Obama years, has been replaced by revenge politics. Not surprising after increasing polarization in American politics over several years. No longer is it about ideas, principles, or morals; it is about personalities and associations. It can be seen in this thread.
