As I understand it, neither Trump nor his cronies were in office yet, but in contacting Russia to let them know that the US policies (1/2)

Don't with worry guys, Trump is doing another rally this weekend in Florida. As POTUS. Then going to Mar-a-Lago. For the third weekend.

Do you really think he needed to be "warned"? Don't you think Flynn had marching orders before he called in December?

A gent by the name of (saint) Benedict felt similarly and started an awesome tradition (Benedictine monks) in response. Inspire yourself!

And Sally Yates was not fired because of that, but who gives a shit, we have a narrative to uphold.

I choose to believe he fired Flynn for making Clu, who tried to take over the grid, so I can see why

Acting Attorney General isn't a permanent job. As soon as Jeff Sessions was confirmed, there was no more Acting AG

You had me at details and lost me at Occupy Democrats.
FrayAdjacent
So Flynn told the russkies not to overract to OBAMA's sanctions... and y'all are losing your shit over it? Leftist, you so crazy!
PreciousPotato
He pretty much fired the only person who knew her job.

leroy666
So then, none of this happened?
teacherwoody
The statements above are factually correct tho...
skaroreg
He would have been fired if not resigning and sally Yates was never going to keep her job anyway as she was temp appointed by Obama
skaroreg
He only reason she was still around is that the Snow Flake in Chief is appointing crappy people and it is taking forever to get appointments

Surely in this circumstance Pence could not replace an impeached Trump?? Surely they are all incriminated? Anyone know what could happen?
MoreLikeLawlSchool
Unless Pence were also removed, he would indeed replace a theoretically ousted Trump. Paul Ryan is third in line.

ThreeDimesDown
I'm not sure this is right
HsuDoNihm
It's accurate, but somewhat misleading. "Forced to resign" and "fired" are similar, though one is more respectful/dignified... 1/?
HsuDoNihm
Also, it seems to imply that she was fired specifically for warning Trump about Flynn, and that's not the case either. 2/2
ThreeDimesDown
Yeah, your 2/2 is what I'm talking about.
HsuDoNihm
Yeah, I didn't find a pithy picture that said it, so I took one that came close... but it's hardly perfect and I dislike that.

And yet you got downvote for this. My bet is: the Russian trolls are working on max capacity at this moment.
HsuDoNihm
"He said something I don't like... and it's kinda scary! DOWNVOTE HIM!" People are like that. Keep handing them data, gently. They may learn
themexicanwave
IMO, yes. I think Trump will be shown to be up to his fat orange arse in debt to some shady Russian billionaires.
LesGrossman
BUT THE RUSSIANS!!!!!!!!!
RinoLykspie
Please understand, if you think he needed to be warned about Flynn you're trippin'.
HsuDoNihm
Agreed. Point being: she was fired for maintaining an ethical stance against Trump. Flynn was retained for his known unethical stance...
HsuDoNihm
and only fired when public opinion turned against said stance. Then Trump pretended ethics mattered to him.

HsuDoNihm
Right. His conversation with the Russian ambassador was not illegal. Lying about it repeatedly during his confirmation and later was.
aselleus
He was totally in the wrong for lying, but i feel like he was completely thrown under the bus by Trump & co.
mousemarie94
Well of course, and he lost his job because they let him be the pawn.
HsuDoNihm
Agreed. They knew the details earlier but the moment he caught public flak they pointed fingers at him and dumped him like ballast.
HydrochloricKitten
Wow...if you erase the context with a graphic it still wreaks of distortion and horseshit. Don't get your opinions from .jpgs folks.
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
Actually, Flynn submitted his resignation, and she was fired for warning about Flynn and the EO. It is accurate.
HydrochloricKitten
1/2 She gave the data on Flynn a month prior to getting canned, citing that as a cause is specious at best. Reports differ of Flynn resigned
HydrochloricKitten
2/2 or was fired (resignation asked for=fired), not the least bit hampered by that idiot Conway spouting nonsense at every camera.
Bozworth5000
actually, yates was fired for publicly refusing to do her job. seems pretty reasonable.

No, she did her job. That's the problem.

he probably wouldn't have either if it hadn't gotten so much publicity. he and his people knew about it FOR WEEKS!
ithoughtitwasaboogerbutitsnot
So that means that President Obama must have known his former DIA Director was recorded in a call w/Russians? Is that what you are implying?
SometimesISayDumbShit
Uhhhhh no. I'm not implying anything. I'm simply saying that the cheeto and his swamp ass cabinet are crooked as fuck
ithoughtitwasaboogerbutitsnot
But if it happened prior to Trump taking office, Obama should have known, if the Intel community recorded it. Then they leaked it.
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
Obama may have known but Flynn didn't work for him and none of the transition team was official. We do know Yates informed Trump 3 weeks ago
SometimesISayDumbShit
The point of this post that the cheeto was warned about Flynn and instead of firing him, he fired the person that blew the whistle
ithoughtitwasaboogerbutitsnot
Who cares of this post. If Flynn did what you said, it happened under O's Presidency. He should have known. He was his former DIA director.
Monosodiumglutamate
*years
HsuDoNihm
The conversation in question happened less than a year ago, so they couldn't have known for years.
Monosodiumglutamate
Trump's collusion with the Russian government goes back to 2010
HsuDoNihm
Right, but the issue with Flynn's conversation happened in December 2016, so they couldn't have known of *that* conversation for years.
Monosodiumglutamate
Certainly, I agree, but this scandal runs much deeper than that.
ThatChi11Guy
From the article OP posted, Yates was fired because she told the DOJ not to enforce the immigration ban executive order.
gangyontheganges
Yet the post is not inaccurate. She did warn Trump about Flynn possibly having lied, and that he was "susceptible to russian blackmail".
HsuDoNihm
Indeed, she declined to enforce it as it is illegal (confirmed by 4 Federal judges so far). She was fired for adhering to the law.
Thekingofbeans
It's not her job to decide whether or not she's going to defend something. If it's illegal so be it, but that's a fair reason to be fired.
OfMiceAndMenus
Actually, you fucking muppet, that's *EXACTLY* her job. She is there to determine if laws are legitimate or not. This one wasn't.
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
HsuDoNihm
You seem unaware of the role of the Attorney General. They are the chief law officer of the federal gov't. Assessing legality was her job.
Thekingofbeans
No, that's the judge's job. Her job is to prepare a defense. If she is truly opposed to it, she can resign.
gangyontheganges
Its her duty to enforce laws that are legal and constitutional. The ban was not. She did her job

At no point in that article does it mention constitutionality of a law, only that they must enforce and interpret them.
