after all is said and done, no real surprises

Yates confirms that she indeed warned the trump administration about Flynn, and Flynn was not removed until that information was made public, rather than right away. Republicans on the sub committee tried to muddy the waters by asking all sorts of question none of which had anything to do with Russia.

I wasn't really surprised by anything that took place today.

Anyone else have any different reaction?

1. So why did the Admin try to surpress it?

I guess they didn't want the facts we already believed to be true to be confirmed under oath?

3. yep that's but pretty much it

but like I said, no surprises.

2. The Admin allowed lies to the American people to standand their

Lawyer didn't understand why that was a problem? That the Flynn and Pence lying to each other should be no concern to the DOJ? It's crazy.

4. I disagree

I think the comments (or lack thereof) re business ties and the shell corporations should scare the Con.

5. It's on record now.

That's a huge deal. Besides, it's about controlling the news cycle, and Trump is getting MURDERED on CNN right now. On Wolf Blitzer. Headlines tomorrow gonna be a bloodbath. Most people don't pay attention. This will get some attention.

6. FBI is beyond the NewEvent stage of the investigations...

They are building cases and seeking indictments...

Yates info locks in the cornerstone of the investigation(s)' foundation....

To borrow from McTurtle...

They were all warned yet they persisted ...
Choosing to carry on with their corrupt practices even when presented with the fact that the IC knew what was taking place...


Eliminating the plausible deniability defense...
