Resistance is profitable
The New York Times is selling tickets for a night with resistance leader Sally Yates.
The Times is charging $30—and half-price tickets for subscribers—for a "rare conversation" with the former Obama Justice Department holdover who refused to enforce President Trump's executive order restricting travel from terrorist hot bed countries.
"Join us for a rare conversation with Sally Yates, the former acting attorney general who was dismissed by President Trump last year after refusing to defend his first travel ban," the Times writes.
Topics include prison reform, civil rights, and "the fine points of constitutional law." Yates herself refused to comply with the travel ban, which the Supreme Court ultimately ruled constitutional by a 7-2 vote. Yates said rejecting the president's first order was a matter of principle.
"Ms. Yates, a distinguished lecturer at Georgetown University, will discuss the independence of the judiciary, the fine points of constitutional law, civil rights in the modern era, criminal justice and prison reform and more with Pulitzer-Prize winning reporter Matt Apuzzo, who has covered the Justice Department under five attorneys general and who has been at the forefront of the special counsel's investigation into Russia and the Trump campaign," the Times said.
The Times is not alone in profiting off of the so-called resistance. James Comey signed a book deal worth over $2 million and is now selling tickets at $100 each to attend his book tour. The tour will make stops in Portland and San Francisco.
Comey is also in talks for another lucrative deal with Hollywood to turn his forthcoming book, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, into a television show or movie.
"A film or TV deal wasn't something Comey even thought about until a flood of people in Hollywood called and expressed interest after the book was announced in early August," wrote the Hollywood Reporter.
"He didn't want to be in this position, but is embracing it," according to Axios, which reported Comey will "come out hot" on his book tour.
Yates is equally popular among the left, after she became the "face of institutional resistance" when Trump fired her for trying to obstruct his travel order. She now uses her Twitter account to call Trump "disgraceful," quote Martin Luther King Jr., and reminisce over the George W. Bush presidency 17 years later.

I think they forgot that part that said........refused to follow a legal order from the President.
Is this a tax-deductible event?
Who profits and where does the cash go?
Imagine if a Republican had refused an order from Emperor Zero. The Slimes would move heaven and earth to see them indicted and sent to prison.
To bad all those who helped stalins rise to power, hilters rise to power mao tse tungs rise to power and pol pots rise to power are not alive to tell those who are on board with the destruction of America how this will fair for them.
The biytch has become a hero of the left.
Isn’t Sally Yates the first person to have the honor of being FIRED by Trump?
That was so cool...
Sally Yates is the first Deep State Operative to be FIRED by Trump.
As the noose tightens on the evil cabal, they are now trying to sell their own narrative on why they acted the way they did. Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Hillary, McCabe, Yates, et. al. are raising the level of rhetoric against Trump knowing their day is coming. The IG report will indict them all.
“Topics include prison reform, civil rights, and “the fine points of constitutional law.”
Let’s see how these affect her: Prison reform, hopefully she ends up there; civil rights, yes, especially where my rights are trampled by nimrods like her; and Constitutional Law especially the right to a speedy trial.
It’s mighty telling that a book by Comey is worth a $2 MM advance and a book by HRC is worth an $8-$12 MM advance.
I mean if you go to a nursery you can get at least 75 lbs of bulls**t in a convenient sack for your money instead of a dumb book.
That people would pay a plugged nickel for a book by HRC is utterly beyond me. Comey might at least be able to tell some sort of convoluted story.
All of the FISA app signers should be fired and locked up.

Good questions.
This event needs FReeping!!
ATTN: NY FReepers!!
Funny how the 1A rights, of this evil cabal, are being honored, daily.....while OUR 1A rights are being trampled, daily.
This witch shouldn’t be allowed to profit off of her disgusting job “performance”.
The IG Report needs to be Chapterized and Chapters released as they become actionable rather than delayed and delayed until a Final Report is declared complete.
500 Very Special Agents? It’s got to be A Really YUGE Report...
Are they hawking tickets for an Evening of Nausea with Kathy Griffin too?
“Resisting” what exactly?
Other than the results of an election?
