Sally Yates testifies before Senate subcmte re: Flynn/Russ today 2:30EST (livestream)

Judging this based on public information is meaningless.
I meant more in terms of leaks that were either Trump, Bannon, Flynn, Priebus, Kushner, Spicer, or somebody associated with them as conversations and details were leaking out where they were literally the only ones in the room.
There were other flags though that he lied during the interview scattered throughout the testimony from Yates.
Again, it wasn't her specific answer here. It was one of those things that becomes apparent when you look at her testimony holistically and think logically about the timeline.
How could you defy great God Emperor Trump and his racist travel ban? HOW COULD YOU! *starts crying*
He said Sovietly.

You're right. I don't know what the DOJ, FBI, NSA, et al know. But it's all I have to go on right now. As such, I don't believe there were any real bombshells dropped by Yates' testimony today.
I don't disagree, I only disagree with labelling that as concrete confirmation like the other things you listed were.
It's pretty clear Flynn either lied to the FBI and they already had evidence to contradict what he was saying or he told them the truth and it became part of their investigation. We'll probably never actually know those details.

Funny if I lived in Putin's Russia with my politics, I'd probably fare a lot worse than you.
Don't mistake party over country for being compromised. They are all compromised by an R but it doesn't stand for Russia.

In your eyes what's the opposite of a liberal? Your comment comes off as aggressively partisan when you resort to what reads like petty mudslinging.

If you want to stay sane, put him on ignore. If you're masochistic, you can try to deconstruct an infinite knot of alternative realities.
That's... An interesting take.
Also completely unfounded, but I guess that's to be expected given the source.
No, becuase it was all about public information. And the two witnesses were no longer in government when this all kicked into gear.
What this did do, and what people were hoping for, was to corroborate some bits and pieces of info we had and not pour any water on the fire.
This man is stupid as fuck.
I guess the scariest part of this is that he's not really wrong. Clapper did say that.
He also specified "at the time that he helped with the first report" and that the FBI investigation will know more that could/probably does contradict that.
But hey, if Republicans liked Context in their arguments they wouldn't hate immigration so much.
Please.
Putin also loves lefties he can compromise, like the candidate you voted for.
I'm trying to figure out what the quotes around "no evidence" are supposed to mean?

Am I missing something here? When was the investigation over?
Clapper did not say there is no evidence.
Yeah, I think he only hears what he wants to.

My sources tell me that this is the true origin of the leaks.
Today was my first time seeing and hearing Graham speak and I could not agree more. How did this clown get to this position?
Regarding the whole "unmasking" thing, can someone provide a link or explain to me why only republicans keep harping on it?

I can just picture Trump sitting on the couch all day watching the testimony and yelling every 2 minutes.

Well yeah, we know you have a lot of Alt-Right friends.
He is obviously a spoiled brat that got to be President.

Well, since "no evidence" is in quotes, obviously he didn't mean that there is no evidence.
It's in quotes. That's how quotes work.

Who? I think I saw her at the inauguration too. Is she Ivanka's personal assistant?

"What's that mean?!?! Someone tell me! Use the puppets!"
Somebody is mad. Usually there's a 2hr gap between twitter rants.

It's really pathetic knowing that our President was sitting his gigantic ass on a couch all day watching TV throwing hissy fits and immediately taking to Twitter instead of being fucking President. He is the laziest piece of shit to have ever set foot in the White House.
I'd like to think Trump has forced Republicans to give up all of their "values" by defending and parroting all the dumb shit he says on a daily basis. I just fully expect once Trump is gone and a Democrat is in office that they'll revert back to pretending to be the party of the Constitution and morality.

Did I miss any real discussion about surveillance today? Lots about unmasking, lots about leaking, lots about Russia, some about the Muslim ban and even one hilarious mention of Weiner being forwarded 'her e-mails' but pretty much nothing about surveillance.

Says the fucking asshole who pushed the birth certificate conspiracy for fucking years.
Really hoping his old, rotten body gives out soon and he falls into a big lump of orange colored shit.
Edit - like, I seriously wish he'd have a massive heart attack while walking down a large flight of stairs, landing next to Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama, their laughing faces being the last thing he ever sees.
Absurd, but I can't think of anything he's more afraid of.
That's... an interesting take out of all of this. Hell, everyone was pretty damn careful to not try to throw Trump in with all of this as opposed to just nailing Flynn.
I honestly think Trump did not or could not 100% follow the unmasking discussion.
