Sally Yates made a calculated decision to fall on her sword. I think it was a win/win scenario for her. She got to leave a position she probably loathed, working for Trump and she just put her name on the political map. Trump had no choice but to fire her after what she said and she knew it. So kudos to Yates for outfoxing Trump.
