For the love of God what did she say guys?!

Just countering some dumb "I'm disappointed in you, my dear" character assassination bullshit.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Why the fuck are we talking about the travel ban

 

[Perd Hapley]

Oh man this is getting good. Yates and Clapper both so done

 

[Oblivion]

Cornyn: I can't believe you would overrule the president even though you yourself said the executive order was lawful.
Yates: Um..no, I said it was unlawful. UNlawful.
Cornyn: *sadly mumbles baba-booey to himself*

 

[RCSI]

Did I just hear that exchange correctly? Wtf Cornyn

 

[The Last Wizard]

Are Yates and Clapper not allowed to state how this has no bearing on the hearing?

 

[Whitephantomzx]

Why ate they talking about the EO?

 

[smokeymicpot]

Cornyn says he finds it "enormously disappointing" that Yates overruled Office of Legal Counsel's determination that travel ban was lawful

Un fucking believable.

 

[timetokill]

Durbin straight-up calling out the muslim travel ban and slapping down Cornyn

love it

 

[theechrisfox]

Durbin serving up a big old plate of crow for crooked Cornyn.

 

[Skinny Pete]

Nice Yates fuck these assholes.

 

[Extollere]

Are Republicans really trying to defend the Muslim Ban

Really?

Really?!

YUP. They really, really REALLY do not care about collusion or working with the Russians, as long as they can ban Muslims and make life for minorities terrible. That's the goal. That's their platform.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Finally Durbin going in how ridiculous this shit is.

 

[everyday math]

Glasses come off *takes drink*

 

[plagiarize]

For the love of God what did she say guys?!

Asshole was trying to say she should have defended the EO as a member of the executive branch and not the judicial branch.

She reminded them, that during her confirmation hearing, that the GOP asked her if she would oppose an unlawful EO written by the President (then Obama) and she assured them she would.

 

[fredrancour]

Have you never watched a congressional hearing? Both parties do this shit all the time to divert from whatever it is they don't want discussed.

I guarantee you that most of us never watched hearings before the investigations started

 

[BitStyle]

Why ate they talking about the EO?

Deflection. Trying to make this about Yates instead of Russia/Trump

 

[Swass]

They picked a terrible D to do this.. Feinstein seems like she has very little clue or interest in this meeting.

Deflection. Trying to make this about Yates instead of Russia/Trump

Very similar to the house session where they tried to make it about anything but..

 

[blackflag]

Preach Durbin!

 

[Tovarisc]

Durbin calling out that shitheel on that off-topic questioning

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Glad Durbin stepped in on that absolutely horrendous line of questioning.

Cornyn needs to be launched into deep space.

 

[Maxim726X]

Begging for an independent investigation...

One can dream.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Cornyn: I can't believe you would overrule the president even though you yourself said the executive order was lawful.
Yates: Um..no, I said it was unlawful. UNlawful.
Cornyn: *sadly mumbles baba-booey to himself*

Yeah, she really cut his nuts off there lol

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Durbin calling out Spicey.

 

[majik13]

LOL, there is a distinction between lawful and truth?

How is that a question?

yeah wtf at that question.

 

[everyday math]

Durbin an independent investigation would be a dream.

 

[Crosseyes]

Just went right after her credibility to paint her as a partisan. And continue to undermine the intelligence community's credibility whenever given the opportunity.

Leakers are the only hope for truth continuing to come out. After Yates was fired in that 18 days that's when the cover up would be happening. Until leaks revealed the truth and Flynn got revealed.

 

[everyday math]

Jab at spicy

 

[RDreamer]

Republicans nowadays are nothing short of fucking mind-blowing. They're going off on Yates for not wanting to defend something that ultimately got knocked down by a bunch of courts anyway? Fuck off.

They pretend to worry about leaks when the specific leak we're talking about very well could be the only reason a possibly compromised National Security Advisor was even fired. Fuck off.

Trying to make 'unmasking' sound so sinister. Fuck off there too.

 

[everyday math]

"What's the big deal if WH people lie to each other"

#notlikethis

 

[Prof. Bathtub]

Shut the fuck up Ted.

 

[Sobriquet]

Ugh Cruz with the leaks

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Christ time for Cruz.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Oh boy, Ted Cruz. Leaks.

 

[MIMIC]

Oh Lord. Cruz

 

[oti]

Go away.

 

[Jenov]

Ted Cruz: So about those leaks....

 

[Vectorman]

Kill me with fucking Cruz.

 

[Hubbl3]

Oh god, Ted Cruz is there too?

 

[B-Dubs]

Oh fuck me, Ted Cruz is here

 

[Ourobolus]

oh fuck i totally forgot cruz was on this committee

get ready for the bullshit

 

[Lonestar]

crazy, that the travel ban came up, as it was also mentioned earlier that it was the same day she tried to let the WH send people to review evidence collected on Flynn at the DOJ/Pentagon, but was fired before she ever knew if they ever showed up to review that evidence.

 

[Oblivion]

Goddamn it. I wish Cruz could go be ugly somewhere else.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Oh joy, its Cruz. *barf*

 

[Smiles and Cries]

no no no not the Cruz whistle

 

[Davenday]

Zodiac Killer on the mic. *mutes feed*

 

[Mr. Giggles]

oh god, leaks.... the new emailssssss!!!

 

[Paches]

We are gonna rehash Clinton emails? Holy shit.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Cruz..................

 

[Betty]

Oh god this fucker, living slime
