Sorry, this is fake news. Raw story says Sally Yates "will testify", then we find out Warner hasn't even sent an invite. As I understand it, an invite needs Chairman Burr's approval. Well, that appears to be quite the hurdle.

Regardless, there's a big difference between "may testify" subject to invite going out and accepted, and "will testify."

There was a thread earlier about DU getting a list of fake news sites. I think it's worthwhile, because fake news makes me dumber and less informed.
