Why does he keep cutting her off-_-

 

[plagiarize]

I wish someone would hone in on Yates clearly saying the underlying conduct was concerning. She's said it more than once.

Flynn did something bad and lied about it. He didn't lie about something that was totally okay behavior.

 

[TheOMan]

Damn, even the White House's counsel was straight up lying to Yates.

"Oh well we're worried that firing Flynn would disrupt the FBI case!"

Horseshit

They are all corrupt, wow.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Fmr. Trump transition official, when asked how much vetting was done on Flynn during transition, described it in one word: "none."

Not part of the hearing but still news on Flynn.

 

[Lord Frieza]

There are no moderate republicans

There are

Spoiler

on state levels maybe

 

[Doc Holliday]

Seems like Clapper has no idea what was happening with the FBI investigation.

 

[WyndhamPrice]

Why does he keep cutting her off-_-

Part of the art of hearings like this is to get the most specific, empirical, clear information about the order of events. He's cutting her off to make sure she's as clear as possible, given that this is all sworn testimony.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

All this pricks care about is finding the leak........

 

[Ourobolus]

BUT THE LEAKS

 

[TheOMan]

LOL, these Republicans asking questions are EMBARASSING.

 

[B-Dubs]

Now Grassley is chasing leaks for Trump.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Ugh...these questions about leakers coming from the right.

 

[CanUKlehead]

Fmr. Trump transition official, when asked how much vetting was done on Flynn during transition, described it in one word: "none."

Didn't they turn it around to 'well, the Obama admin vetted him already'...wtf.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Just straight up asking if they were anonymous sources. lol

 

[oti]

This is ridiculous.

 

[Ernest]

Lol sure. Have you even watched the stream yet?

Yes, here and there, and I can't think of anything "huge" coming from this.
Maybe just more shit to tie up Flynn with, but whatever they come up with for against the administration won't be as big as a lot of the shit they've already gotten away with. Just more drops in their bucket of shit that never seems to overflow.

 

[shadow_shogun]

So much for the senate being the "grown ups". This crap is the same ol' partisan nonsense.

 

[rec0ded1]

Grassley is a grasshole

 

[Magwik]

These leaks have scared the shit out of the party, jesus

 

[plagiarize]

LOL, these Republicans asking questions are EMBARASSING.

You get used to it after a while.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

I still can't believe that the Republicans are going all in on being angry about the people leaking the information rather than the actual content of the leaks. For fuck's sake, this is the safety of our country at stake and they're more upset about us knowing about it than what it actually means.

 

[WarMacheen]

Mr. Grassley needs to fucking retire.

 

[Boke1879]

Seems like Clapper has no idea what was happening with the FBI investigation.

Wasn't he DNI? Would he know about what the FBI is doing?

 

[Kurdel]

"Have either of you been an anonymous news source about the Trump adim?"

Yates: No
Clapper: No

These fucking GOP questions are ridiculous

 

[wesleyshark]

Unmasking again geez

 

[Jenov]

Leaks >> Treason

lolol

 

[victreeb3l]

Holy fucking shit leaks again

jesus fucking Christ the GOP

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Unmasking lol

 

[tedrotheredro]

Leaks and unmasking don't require congressional hearings, please stop this time-sucking nonsense.

 

[Stinkles]

So, GOP supporters in this thread - do you genuinely believe press leaks are more important than the potential treason those leaks are about?

 

[Maxim726X]

It really is amazing.

'Yeah, yeah... There may have been collusion with a foreign country. But who leaked it?? That's what matters!'

 

[Prof. Bathtub]

Important questions.

 

[RustyNails]

GOP is full of garbage. Garbage people.

 

[Boke1879]

Yes, here and there, and I can't think of anything "huge" coming from this.

Isn't this whole thing about Flynn to begin with?

 

[plagiarize]

Unmasking again geez

Clapper's information on this earlier was very good. Unmasking only goes to the person who requested it. Not everyone.

 

[everyday math]

This is actually important imo.

Put all this on record.

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

party before country

 

[wesleyshark]

Leaks >> Treason

lolol

Pretty much the GOP line. Bad things aren't bad, only the leaks about bad things are bad.

 

[EatinOlives]

Yates already contradicted the White House a couple of times in this hearing, what exactly is your definition of "huge"?

 

[HotHamBoy]

I forgot how long and boring this shit is.

Will read the headlines.

 

[Protome]

*Asks like 6 questions about leaks*
"Okay, question two"

Grassley's inability to count is worrying.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Oh my God, these leak questions. I'm not surprised, but still angry

 

[Barzul]

Fuck this is a circus show from the GOP senators.

 

[Skinny Pete]

But the Leaks!!!!!

This is fucking bullshit.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Yates already contradicted the White House a couple of times in this hearing, what exactly is your definition of "huge"?

Probably Trump being arrested right now.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Please fuck off a cliff with this leak talk.

The GOP is such a waste of space.

 

[The Last Wizard]

So what do we think they've got on these guys that they're so obsessed about leaks being more important than treason?

Gotta be more than money.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

FYI these leak questions have fucking nothing to do with Russia and shouldn't even be allowed to be asked.

So what do we think they've got on these guys that they're so obsessed about leaks being more important than treason?

Gotta be more than money.

Russia is like GOP's paradise at this point. A country ruled by Oligarchs where gays are put to death? Where can they sign!?!

 

[PhoenixDawn]

How is this old piece of shit still in a position of power in this country, there needs to be a complete purge of all of these party before country folks in 2018.

 

[erragal]

Did someone seriously fucking say that!?!?!

Yates said that's what Whitehouse counsel told her at first regarding Flynn. She said it verbatim, as someone remembering an uncomfortable situation.
