Former Acting AG Sally Yates is scheduled to testify Monday, at which time she will completely refute the Trump Administration's story on Michael Flynn.

Courtesy of CNN: 

Former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates is prepared to testify before a Senate panel next week that she gave a forceful warning to the White House regarding then-National Security Advisor Michael Flynn nearly three weeks before he was fired, contradicting the administration's version of events, sources familiar with her account tell CNN. 

In a private meeting January 26, Yates told White House Counsel Don McGahn that Flynn was lying when he denied in public and private that he had discussed US sanctions on Russia in conversations with Russian Ambassador to the US Sergei Kislyak. Flynn's misleading comments, Yates said, made him potentially vulnerable to being compromised by Russia, according to sources familiar with her version of events. She expressed "serious concerns" to McGahn, making it clear -- without making a recommendation -- that Flynn could be fired. 

Yates' testimony May 8 will be the first time the former acting attorney general will publicly speak about the White House meeting. A source familiar with the situation says that Yates will be limited on what she can tell the Senate judiciary subcommittee because many of the details involving Flynn are classified, meaning there may only be a few new revelations. 

Yates would not comment ahead of the testimony.

I am REALLY looking forward to this testimony.

Just as much as I am sure that the Trump Administration is dreading it.

    I will watch her testify - eager to do so. But, cannot say the same for Comey who is being questioned right now. Trump just intercepted the panel w/Turkey's head...he's such an ass and lousy potus!

    Disagree with you, 8:37 AM. Race and religion are the issue and have always been throughout history!

    I deplore the racist pig, Donald Trump! He's pure evil and despised throughout our country and world.

      Race is not THE issue and neither is religion. Have a look at the links posted at 8:37 and don't stop there. You might want to keep it simple with a couple of easy scapegoats, but you're wrong.

      When asked about why he thinks the Black Panthers were targeted he said, "In the United States, the equivalent of the military was the local police. During the early sixties, at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, and the human rights movement, the police in the United States became increasingly militaristic. They began to train out of military bases in the United States. The Law Enforcement Assistance Act (LEAA) supplied local police with military technology, everything from assault rifles to army personnel carriers. In his opinion, the Counterintelligence Program went hand-in-hand with the militarization of the police in the Black community, with the militarization of police in America."
      "In 1969 the FBI special agent in San Francisco wrote Hoover that his investigation of the Black Panther Party (BPP) had concluded that in his city, at least, the Panthers were primarily engaged in feeding breakfast to children. Hoover fired back a memo implying the agent's career goals would be directly affected by his supplying evidence to support Hoover's view that the BPP was "a violence-prone organization seeking to overthrow the Government by revolutionary means". "Hoover supported using FALSE claims to attack his political enemies. In one memo he wrote: "Purpose of counterintelligence action is to disrupt the BPP and it is immaterial whether FACTS exist to substantiate the charge."

      "Karen Handel's husband just tweeted that black people were the slaves of the Democratic party."
      Karen "first rose to prominence as one of the board members of the Susan G. Koman foundation who thought it would be a good idea to cut off grants to Planned Parenthood for cancer screenings because of abortion. The resulting furor over Handel’s attempt to cut women off from cancer screenings nearly closed the doors on the foundation "

      "The receptive crowd of hundreds at The Temple Church broke into applause multiple times during Pelosi's 20-minute address.

      Invoking the work of previous generations of Fisk students — who led sit-ins that de-segregated Nashville' lunch counters and participated in the Freedom Rides — Pelosi asked the university's latest crop of graduates to remain engaged in politics after they leave campus."
      ""Draw on the strength of the education you have received at Fisk and insist on the truth of your right to every opportunity," Pelosi said from the pulpit. "Insist on the truth that we must make good on the full promise of our democracy. Insist on the truth that black lives matter. ...

      "Insist on the truth by voting."

  5. Some predictions.

    They'll delay it again, if they can.

    If they can't. it will NOT be broadcast. They'll find a way to make it closed door and private due to "security concerns."

    In other words, the public and the press will be shielded from this testimony.

    THE DEVIL IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE

    9:05 said "I deplore the racist pig, Donald Trump! He's pure evil and despised throughout our country and world."


    9:05 I AGREE WITH YOU

    Trump may show some changes as president regarding what he had said but remember this saying:


    "They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves." 


    TRUMP IS IN IT (anything) FOR TRUMP, HIS LOVE IVANKA AND THOSE OLDER TWO BOYS FROM HIS EX WIFE

    The bottom line is what can trump get for his family before his final days as president, before his term ends in 2020

    This is all about setting up his and his kids businesses in other countries before he gets IMPEACHED or his last day in 2020!

      Trump and the Republicans want war and are creating the problem w/North Korea. Fuck every one of them currently on board w/asshole Trump! He does NOT represent me or the majority of Americans.

    Be nice if Pence pays the price for allowing Flynn to be part of the administration. He was responsible for much of Trump's transition.

  14. Doesn't matter what she sez. Drumpf will be on Twitter slandering her and Dems before the sun comes up tomorrow.

    I fully expect a Twitter tirade aimed at the whole series of investigations on the grounds that Drumpf is above the law and all this stuff is manufactured to make his administration look incompetent.
