Integrity is beautiful.
“I looked at this,” Yates went on. “I made a determination that I believe it was unlawful. I also thought that it was inconsistent with principles of the Department of Justice. And I said no. And that’s what I promised you I would do. That’s what I did.”
Boom. Mic drop.
Greater moral courage, stronger ethics in her toe-nail than in the entire White House and half the US Senate.
Bang!
If you think this was good, you all missed when Lyin’ Ted tried to tangle with her over the particulars of executive power a few minutes later.
Senator, she didn’t lie. Unlike you…
Man, she slammed him but good.
Drumpfie must be about apoplectic right about now, and it’s not gonna get better any time soon.
Who’s brought the popcorn? Time to lean back and watch the fireworks
If there is ONE THING that Republicans not only HATE and FEAR, but CANNOT UNDERSTAND, it is INTEGRITY.
Yates smacked him down with easily verified and documented testimony, so OF COURSE FOX News has already quick-cut what she said to make the OPPOSITE of what she said appear to be what she said.
No wonder FOX News watchers are so ignorant and misinformed.
They are apoplectic when it’s an intelligent, capable woman with integrity.
I just got home from a massage appointment. This is great!
I like how some of the Republican Senators have turned this into an attack on Yates’ refusal to defend the travel ban. This Hearing is about Russian interference in the election, not Yates’ integrity!
When I grow up I want to marry Sally Yates

Cornyn tried to frame Yates’ decision as a partisan move made by a former Obama administration official that broke with the DOJ’s “longstanding tradition of defending a presidential action in court if there are reasonable arguments in its favor.”
“The civil division of the Department of Justice will defend an action of a President or an action of congress if there is a reasonable argument to be made,” Yates told Cornyn. “But in this instance, all arguments have to be based on truth. Because we’re the Department of Justice. We’re not just a law firm.”
You need to wear dark goggles when you do that.
Listen up Cornyn, you useless FK. It doesn’t MATTER how many times you say it or how many sound bites you try to have. SHE did nothing illegal or unethical. YOU and the boys are trying to put one (or more) over on the American public which IS illegal and unethical.
Went blind years ago.
He also made a fool of himself with his first questions trying to reopen the Hillary email inquisition.
Tell me more, I didn’t get to see it!!!
To use Trump’s words, she is one smart cookie.
