(645 posts)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.
but this was her interpretation of the law as well.

(34,661 posts)on the right trail. Trump just opened the big door for Impeachment. Nixon learned you do not have the DOJ doing your dirty work.
Nothing worse than your staff going Deep Throat and that will happen.

(2,541 posts)It is very clear. In the press conference today Spicer said anyone in the State Department (presumably meaning those using the Dissent Channel concerning the Muslim ban) should either get in line with trumps program or get out.
So...
The man who bemoaned about President Obama acting like a dictator...is going to act like a dictator.
