Sally Yates served as a United States Attorney and later United States Deputy Attorney General. I might not bother even to add that she earned a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Georgia School of Law, graduating magna cum laude.<br /><br />Anyways, I have a scoop -- let's review that Yates was fired by Trump one day after it came out that she had refused to defend his travel ban. Well, piece of news, explosive and surprising: Trump Fires FBI Director James B. Comey. Startling. Of course, Comey was fired as he is leading a counterintelligence investigation to determine whether associates of President Trump may have coordinated with Russia to meddle with the presidential election last year. It is unclear how Comey’s dismissal will affect that investigation..? Whether the Russia investigation continues is now an open question..?<br />This is all extremely unsettling. The administration is apparently trying to tamp down dissent.

To see the slimy, sleazy Cruz bested at his own game was indeed a refreshing sight.TheDudeDiogeneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11613928663752680375noreply@blogger.com
