I'm not sure if it'll work for international people but it's worth a go

Thanks, Pain. Smile

blueskyinmarch · 08/05/2017 13:59

Sorry Yates not Yeats.

Thanks for the link Pain. That’s my evenings watching sorted. May need gin for this one!

This was posted yesterday:

Brian Fallon @brianefallon

Per @axios, WH plans to smear Sally Yates tomorrow as a "Democratic operative."
She was a nonpolitical, career DOJ attorney for two decades

Thanks from me, too. Pain.

I may have to watch it with my earbuds in. DH gets so angry over the 'badgering' that the GOP Reps give witnesses that I'm afraid he may blow an artery.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 08/05/2017 14:05

I want her evidence to be damning so much that I'm afraid of watching it and being disappointed. I know I won't be able to help myself though

AcrossthePond55 · 08/05/2017 14:17

Me too, Pain. I hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling that her testimony will have been 'screened' for anything treasonous by Scrotus or specific members of his regime, or that may reveal classified information. The most we're going to get is broad statements and hints. I don't think there will be 'names named'.

cozietoesie · 08/05/2017 14:21

The White House feels that they need to 'push back' against something though. Smile

cozietoesie · 08/05/2017 14:24

Sorry. that they might need.............

lionheart · 08/05/2017 14:29

I think it may be disappointing but I am hoping that the non-answers and no comments will be made because of ongoing investigations. More reading between the lines?

cozietoesie · 08/05/2017 14:35

I think that that's a strong possibility.

MicrowaveSpy · 08/05/2017 16:02

Across I miss Obama and he wasn't my president. I loved the way he spoke of Michelle at the beginning. "I love my wife" It was so natural, a fact.

I listened and thought how SCROTUS would hate every word Obama said.

A bonus Grin

MicrowaveSpy · 08/05/2017 16:05

I will be listening to Sally Yates if possible.
I've listened to Comey evade answers twice - will be good to hear someone else.

Lweji that SNL sketch was excellent Grin

MrsT2007 · 08/05/2017 16:07

Comey didn't evade answers, I think it was fairly easy to read between the lines on a fair chunk of it.

The Latest: Obama said to have warned Trump about Flynn

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 08/05/2017 16:46

Bad timing issues there trumpstain, this news breaking hours after you squarely place the blame at obama's feet.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 08/05/2017 17:00

A Frenchy responses to the trump's tweet about Yates:

jordan 🌹 @JordanUhl
NBD just the official government-run POTUS account trying to influence a witness' testimony.

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
Holy smokes! Now the president has engaged in felonious witness tampering using his official government account. Someone has to stop this.

Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster
counsel: ⚖ a lawyer appointed to advise and represent in legal matters
council: 🙋an assembly or meeting for consultation or discussion

r/esist @redditresist
Replying to @MerriamWebster
Yes, Trump is dumb. We knew that. More importantly, POTUS was intimidating a witness that was about to speak against him & associates.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 08/05/2017 17:01

A few responses, not a Frenchy responses!

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 08/05/2017 17:03

@RepSwalwell
I've long thought @realDonaldTrump was incompetent in vetting of Flynn & Russia ties. It's actually simpler than that: he just didn't care.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 08/05/2017 17:03

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
Mr. President: You failed to vet Flynn, hired him, and only fired him once his lies became public. Which part of that is Obama's fault?

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 08/05/2017 17:05

NBC News @NBCNews

Trump admin official confirms Obama raised issue of Flynn, but says it seemed like the remark was made “in jest”

BiglyBadgers · 08/05/2017 17:16

He's just deleted his tweets about Sally Yates. Clearly some grappled his phone off him and pointed out how bloody stupid that was.

BiglyBadgers · 08/05/2017 17:20

Oh no! I've found it. It looks like he just removed one where he spelt council instead of counsel, which is way some links to it went working any more. My mistake.

PerkingFaintly · 08/05/2017 17:22

I was wondering what a Frenchy response might be, Pain, especially after Macron's win yesterday.Grin

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 08/05/2017 17:28

Zut alors! Grin
