#SallyYates met w/WH counsel on the same day the #MuslimBan was rolled out.

They didn't even tell her about the ban beforehand

Judge Wynn just compared Trump's travel ban (& its national sec justification) to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II

Damn, live feed skipped forward about 40 min when we restarted it, so we missed Ted Cruz got pwned. I can't find a link on that tweet above - does anyone have one?

Also loving the awesome Sally Yates. DH commented on how clear and concise her answers are, despite the complexity of the issues at hand. She is seriously impressive.

Damn. I'd vote for Yates for President. She really needs to consider politics after this. Democrat please.

Oh yes.

Phew, too tired to watch more. Very informative.

And Sally Yates is classy.

I remember classy and it wasn't that long ago.

Ms Hirono from Hawaii is giving it some welly. Love that's she's going after Trump's fullsome tweets praising Flynn. I'm starting to think he will come to regret his Twitter habit.

DH has folded & gone to bed. You have to be impressed by Yates' and Clapper's stamina.

Sen Graham just asked whether Trump's business interests in Russia caused concern. Clapper demurred and said he couldn't comment due to another investigation. Sen Graham asking about FISA warrants directly - Yates & Clapper both demurred.

DH was eagle-eared earlier & commented several times that an alternative investigation was implied in both their responses, though not overtly confirmed or denied.

Bloody hell, I'm worn out

Strewth.

I'm watching Sense8 on Netflix now - talk about a change of pace!

Unrelated but:

Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump aides told Trudeau's team to get Trudeau to call Trump and ask him to preserve NAFTA, the Canadians say: t.co/1xLDgLKggH?amp=1

What did I miss?

Well. It was .......satisfying watching SY stomp over the Senate - albeit while being both precise and careful - but if you were looking to offer her a new job, I suspect you're at the end of a very long queue now.

2018 becomes critical. Even the committee republicans were clearly not satisfied with the current administration but the whitewash is now quite advanced (viz the 'evidence' about Pence) so it's important to remove the Republican majority in Congress. 45 isn't going to resign any time soon (personality) and I doubt strongly that the current Congress will impeach.
