President Donald Trump relieved acting Attorney General Sally Yates of her duties Monday night after she directed Justice Department attorneys not to defend Trump's controversial executive refugee and immigration ban.
Yates, a holdover from the Obama Administration, was replaced as acting attorney general by Dana Boente, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Yates had "betrayed the Justice Department" by refusing to enforce Trump's order, which temporarily halted the entire U.S. refugee program and banned all entries from seven Muslim-majority nations for 90 days.

I can’t wait to see who’s fired next on “Federal Apprentice”. Stay tuned. The producer has at least a 4-year contract.

Can’t help but smile.
This guy isn’t putting up with insubordination.
We’re going to have a few changes in our diplomatic corp also, if this same guideline rules the day.
This makes it easy to clear the traitors out.

Fired Acting AG Sally Yates giddy over letting criminals out of jail for Obama. But opposed Trump effort to protect us vs. terrorists.

Notice the viciousness of the pool reporter:
Reporter claims statement,made by Mr. Short “sounded like (Trump).”
Is Mr. Short doing verbal impersonations of the President?
Media BS!!!!!
