Sally Yates, the former deputy attorney general, testified that Michael Flynn's lies to the FBI were 'absolutely material to a legitimate investigation' — contradicting the Justice Department's rationale for dropping charges against him.

"Who brought up the Logan Act in the Jan. 5 meeting?" Graham asked."Whose great idea was this?"

"During the meeting, the president, the vice president and the national security adviser did not in any way attempt to direct or influence any kind of investigation," Yates said."Something like that would have set off alarms for me, and it would have stuck out, both at the time and in my memory. No such thing happened.

Committee chairman Graham said he was satisfied that both Yates and her successor, Rod Rosenstein, were in the dark about errors in the wiretap applications. But he said additional hearings would be devoted to who else knew. Yates replied that she doesn't"despise" anyone, but as for Trump,"I don't respect the manner in which he has carried out the presidency."

The FBI had determined Flynn wasn't a Russian agent, & believed he did not deliberately lie then why investigate? We need an answer.

What are you babbling about? It is called a railroad job when investigators nab someone for no reason but they are part of the new admin implementing a new policy and last admin wasn’t happy...

duhduhdawn even though I tweet u a lot, it's mostly cause I'm lonely and I dont mean to be aggressive k lol but see here is another issue, he has pardoned war criminals and his friends/advisors which is just plain wrong. Flynn, plead guilty to FBI and to a judge at least twice.

What a woman!!!!

Parker_Rush Senate was trying to get something against Obama and Biden for something for Trump’s fictional tv ads.

She’s honest and brilliant

So many haters using fake news from cnn as truth. CNN depends on Trump hating morons to keep them in business and spread their propaganda.

Go Sally!! SallyQYates

mslauraz LindseyGrahamSC and ChuckGrassley are pretty dumb to think SallyQYates was going to give testimony that bolstered their attempt to rewrite the DerangedAnimals culpability in all his thuggery outlined in MuellerReport SallyYatesIsAPatriot SallyYatesIsAHero

Americans deserve to know what's going on with the interference in the November election. Trump is planning to cheat again. There will be no America when he finishes. We demand and have a right to the truth from Congress, publicize the information.

And trump let Flynn off the hook with Barr watching

Hoping to hear ALL about this tomorrow on your podcast!

.SallyQYates' statement humors me. 'It's the job of the FBI to vet the dossier, not mine.' Right, Sally! So you see a dossier that says Trump hired hookers to pee on a bed and you didn't say 'WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?'

Um, she also said Comey went 'rogue' in the Flynn investigation. You might want to mention that.

joncoopertweets She should be VP. One smart mama

joncoopertweets How are we even debating this? If Flynn was on the up-and-up, why would he have lied to the FBI?

Sally Yates is an American hero! WomenSupportingWomen TrumpIsAMonster VOTE VOTE VOTE

SallyYates is smart and GORGEOUS

Yates lies like it's her job. Oh, it is.

Shes a lying crook!

Nice picture! Haha

NPR is a taxpayer funded Democrat propaganda rag.

She is so full of Shit and in so much trouble. Enjoy the show as this B is going down.

MAYBE SHE ISN'T AWARE OF THE DURHAM REPORT?

Believing a liar...

Sally Yates proves AG Barr is on a witch hunt. He needs to go after Tweetie Pie Trump. He is by far the single meanest witch in the family of witches.

It wasn’t about the Logan act ..it was about election interference ! It’s telling how little LindseyGrahamSC seems to care about election interference

Of course this is what you focus on. Not that Yates said she would never have signed the warrant on Page had just known what she knew now. Or that Comey went “rogue”. Or that she was concerned that Flynn was undoing Obama policy and trying to cover it up. Yah. Real unbiased news.

Corroborating testimony to JUST how crooked this whole thing and this “administration” has been! Yet Barr, trump and trumpets blind base 🐑 will still whine. 🤦🏻‍♀️Enough is enough! VoteBlueNoMatterWho Just Dump Trump DumpTrump2020 for Biden

LindseyGrahamSC tedcruz SenTedCruz PUTIN AND PUTIN'S RUSSIA WAS AND STILL IS THE FUCKEN ENEMY OF THIS NATION FUCKEN SHITHEAD

And the FBI and Yates repeatedly knowingly lied to the FISA court

Flynn stated in open court that he lied to the FBI, lied to congress obstructing an investigation and that he was promised nothing for his plea. So if he is now saying he lied about lying to Judge Sullivan, he should be charged with lying to the court

Don't worry.. Bill Barr is in Charge... he won't prosecute any traitors on his watch... he calls them Republicans !

Should be next AG.

They have already been caught with the declassified documents. I guarantee Yates is being investigated by Durham.

They’ve already be already been caught.

If the FBI had the transcript of the call between Flynn and Russian Ambassador why did they go to interview about the call?

TracyR_2001 realDonaldTrump Hires Felons

National Propaganda Radio gets caught in yet another lie. Sally Yates testified Comey went 'rogue' regarding his persecution of Flynn. And half your coverage this morning consisted of the observation that Democratic Senators think there’s nothing to see here. DefundNPR

NPR - THE RADIO ARM OF THE DNC.

Grates is a Deep State coup member. She is done.

Comey went rouge. Fixed it for you.

But in the FBI notes they stated that Michael Flynn didn't lie. When can we defund NPR?

IBelieveSallyYates

You know she's right. That's the confidence that comes from her integrity. I'd sooner critically question trump and McConnell for misconduct.

janrobinjackson Everyone of the senjudiciary KNOW this is nothing but Deflection & Unconstitutional There were legitimate Charges & Indictments in Russian Invest. BillBarr Should be removed by the Military for breaking the Law for Obstructing Justice , Abuse of Power DeadlineWH

DrDinD GOP senators are disrectful and disgrace themselves.

Sally Yates is a pathetic liar

The leadership in Obama's DOJ and FBI apparently just signed off on everything, and to the day nobody has been held to account for submitting these fictitious FISA applications to the court.

JackJackington Do as I say - not as I do- entitlement- ish

JackJackington Mr Rogering (other) low batt

Flynn did not lie to the FBI. How could he lie, when he told the FBI 'you have the transcript...'

investtoelectil sally yates is a hero

Graham’s vile rude comments to Yates was the last straw for me. His BS partisan crap for a traitor like trump is all I can stand. He has done more harm to the R party. 65 years I have never seen such despicable behavior. He needs to lose his race. Sending $ to R opponent’s.

Interesting that the FBI notes said they didn't believe Flynn lied. Yates YatesHearing

Once again Sally Yates is my hero!

When the 302’s of the interview with Flynn are brought forth, you all will be eating crow. You can run but the truth will find you. The Obozo DS clowns have conveniently lost the 302’s for the past 3 yrs. Nothing to see here. That form will be presented. Game, set, match.

I love how the media takes what Yates says as 100% truth lmaooooooo.

The FBI their own notes state they didn't believe Flynn was lying but , anyhoo MATERIAL TO WHAT ... they had the transcript the listened to the CALL in REAL TIME nothing Flynn had to say could have interfered with their ' legitimate investigation '

Just 167 days until President Biden starts righting this ship.

While at the same time, referring to Comey's coming after Flynn as 'going rogue'. NPR can't have it both ways anymore than Yates can. Comey is clearly the scapegoat. I hope that was arranged in advance because that egomaniac is not a self-sacrifice kind of guy.

As they set him up? Saying he didn't need atty it was just a casual talk? After agents said he did nothing wrong but others drug up a law never used to charge him...then targeted his family. This isn't USSR people.

A straight shooter.

The 302 says Flynn was not lying. They set up a perjury trap. That is why the charges were dropped. Comey has publicly admitted he sent agents to interview Flynn without legal council. They lead him to believe it was informal & he would not need legal representation. Entrapment

I ♥️ SallyQYates 🇺🇸

ReesusP Truth doesn't resemble anything coming from Trump and his malevolent AG. They are criminals. Time will out them.

Rescue me.. recuse me please.. coming through...

Obama Deputy AG Sally Yates says she wouldn't have signed Carter Page FISAs in 2016 & 2017 if she knew then what she knows now. Yates says she was “shocked” by the Horowitz report & said DOJ/FBI didn't meet 'duty of candor' w/ FISA Court.

NPR is no different than the rest of the MSM. Totally biasesd reporting . They are nothing but PR for the DNC.defundNPR

Michael Flynn spearheaded the PizzaGate conspiracy theory and was contracted to kidnap Muhammed Fethullah Gülen from the Poconos after the Obama Admin’s failed Gülenist coup in Turkey.

morgfair She’s got guts . TruthMatters

Flynn knew what he was doing - making deals Trump knew what doing - making deals for casino- $$$$$$$$$$

haikujeannie Ah, so they got some incentive to go after Comey some more

This is the most corrupt executive branch the country has. Hopefully the last.

Shocker...NOT!

SallyQYates is a hero. 🇺🇸

Swamp creature.

When the FBI investigates you for criminal activity, it's not called spying. Everyone with basic critical thinking skills knows that Donald Trump is just trying to deflect from Flynn's crimes, and the crimes of multiple other people Trump hired. 'The best people' 🤦‍♂️
