'The president is threatening a witness': CNN analyst slams Trump's 'disturbing' Sally Yates tweets

[gratuitous]

11. President Trump's accusation makes no sense

Sally Yates knew what she was talking about, had classified information that she then shared with the White House counsel (someone as familiar with attorneys as Trump really should know which word to use). Then the information leaks. So, Yates has the information. Has it. Has it. Has it. Has it. Nobody knows about it. The media don't have any idea. Then Yates talks to the White House counsel, and hey presto! the information gets out.

What is the reasonable conclusion? That Yates had this information for who knows how long, but only decided to leak it after consulting with the White House? Or did the White House leak because the amateurs running the place didn't and don't have any idea how to handle classified information?

Interesting, though, that CNN isn't trying to convolute itself into some kind of logic pretzel to explain what Trump "really" meant by his Tweet. That's different from what has been going on for the last 100 days.
