In a hearing centered on Russian interference in the election, one senator took the opportunity to question the former attorney general who was fired for refusing to defend President Trump's travel ban.
Senator John Kennedy (R-Louisiana) asked former acting Attorney General Sally Yates why she refused to defend Trump's initial executive order barring travel from several Mideast nations.
"I believed any argument [the Justice Department] would have to make in its defense would not be grounded in the truth," Yates said.
"We would have to argue that it had nothing to do with religion," she said.
Kennedy asked whether there was no reasonable argument that could be made to defend the order any other way.....

She looks like Sibelius.
Same mentality too.
This Yates b*tch is a piece of sh*t. I am shocked she was even allowed to stay under POTUS Trump. I don’t mince my words anymore. I hate these people with a passion.
If the republicans don’t start acting with authority and get these asses locked up the base WILL NOT TURNOUT this upcoming election!! I’m so sick of this shit!!!! Spineless and walnutless.....THEY ARE IN DAMGER of losing both houses....WE ARE GETTING TIRED of their pussified attitudes!!! UGH!! I want JUSTICE!!!These freaking criminals need to go to prison!! They should be used as examples to the rats that break the law and government employees !!! THIS IS ONE OF THOSE WINS WE MUST HAVE!!!!! Heads gotta roll!!
[Ministry of Truth ....]
she exposed herself. she considered herself a one woman Supreme Court, the head of the Ministry of Truth all rolled into one. more than that, she exposed that she was part of the common thread of “reasoning” that connected her office to the 9th Circuit, Washington state AG, etc-as if there were collusion. they all referred to this as pretty much a ban based on religion even though that wasn’t part of the EO. like deep state -now extended - and rabidly anti-Trump- all going way beyond the limits of their authority.

And where did they get this idea? CNN of course!
The video below is from special report a couple of days ago regarding the Ferguson effect.
At the end of the video (2:40) they report that the FBI reported that the Black Lives Matter group was exposed to a one-sided narrative in the media.

There was a definite narrative that was promoted today as a result of testimony and that narrative is we need the “ministry of truth” because the public needs to be “educated” about the tactics of Russia.
This was also an idea promoted by James Comey in the hearing last week.
Quote
At the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Wednesday, FBI Director James Comey said a number of curious things, but one comment in particular stood out. When asked about Russian influence in the U.S. election and the ability to combat a foreign actor’s misinformation campaign, the Director said, “We need to arm ourselves with good troll armies pushing back.”

John Kennedy gets the award for BEST COMMENT Of THE HEARING
It only took three to set the Perjury Trap !
We can be as discriminating as well like, on who we permit entry - it’s our friggin country!
“I don’t want Muslims here. If that’s discriminating so be it.”
Ditto.......
Ministry of Truth is my allusion to 1984, the book. she set herself up as the decider on what is the truth, the truth that can be defended. her arrogance and pomposity got to me. who appointed her the Minister of Truth??!!
Thank you for the correction. I hope they can create some momentum.
Rush was wrong. There was a full panel of senators from both sides of the isle.
I hope they so something more that grab a sound bite and move on.
Sure, but it’s always useful to shoot down dishonest libtard propaganda. We don’t have to accept their beliefs to show how dishonest they are even in terms of their own beliefs.
Senator John Kennedy?
Must be a different branch :)
Hey, Sibelius wrote some nice stuff.
Pres Trump was forced to respond to ex-pres Obamba's hate-America jihad----Obama's secretly launching a major “refugee project” to foist rabid Christian-hating terrorists, criminals, torturers, beheaders on unsuspecting US citizens and their families.
Under cover of night, Obama facilitated a steady stream of Somali, Syrian, Afghan, Iraqi and Burmese Muslims, refugees who committed crimes in their homelands: Afghanistan, Algeria, Burundi, Cape Verde, China, Cuba, Eritrea, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, India, Iran, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, and Zimbabwe.
==============================================
More alarmingly, the Hate-America ex-Pres Obama secretly resettled refugees in the US from Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sudan......these are listed among the ‘Top 10 Countries of Origin’ where hottific female genital mutilation is practiced....usually on little girls.
Verified by US based pediatrician and fellow at the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Hatem Al Haj Elhagaly, listed as a member of the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America (AMJA). This ‘Islamic scholar’ issued a 2006 ‘fatwa’ (an authoritative Islamic law ruling), saying that Islam sanctioned genital mutilation b/c sexual enjoyment is ‘better for the husband' when performed on a mutilated female.
Dr Elgahaly acknowledged that the majority of the scholars regard it allowable and some consider it wajib (obligatory).
FGM was being conducted by Muslim doctors in Detroit for 12 years. Horrendous accounts surfaced of little girls genital body parts being savagely sliced off, then sewn back up, leaving only a small passage for urination.
================================================
Yates is against Pres Trump's E/O: <><> halting citizens of seven predominately Muslim nations from coming to the US for 90 days, and, <><> halting Syrian refugee programs for 120 days.
REALITY CHECK---Pres Trump responded to ex-Pres Obamba’s infamous surveillance uncovering foreign plots to get on the gravy train, then infiltrate and overthrow the US govt, to cause havoc, and kill Christians.
<><>Pres Trump responded to Obamba's launching a major “refugee project” to foist foreign rabid Christian-hating terrorists, criminals, torturers, beheaders on unsuspecting US citizens and their families.
==================================================
Then again, maybe Sally Yates is in favor of Female genital mutilation?
I believe she does not have the right to defy the president. She should have done his will or resign.
Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING else was political grandstanding.
PAUL O’ TICKS.
That’s all these people do.
Justice be damned. Partei Uber Alles.
You are spot on, there; have you’ve noticed, when any commie/left-o-crat justifies their bigotry with “because of all the anti-black/ lgbltxyz/women violence”, that they and their statement go largely unchallenged ?
Great post!
We didn’t hear opposition from Yates when Obama had a ban for a short time a few years back.
