Earlier Monday, Yates denounced Trump's executive order in a letter to Justice Department lawyers, saying it may not be lawful.
"I am responsible for ensuring that the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institutions solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right," Yates said in the letter.

ROFL. Even better!

What “Ms” Yates did was far worse than insubordination, she instructed her attorneys to defy the law as well. That borders on criminal malfeasance. When Sessions takes the helm, where does he possibly start?
It’s Lucy Liu from “Kill Bill vol 1.” She’s a Yakusa and she’s just disposed of a rival with a samurai sword. Cool movie if you’ve never seen it.
Trump seems to be collecting heads in his own way this week. ICE, AG, etc.

Yep.
I expect countermanding that order would send the Left and the MSM into orbit for at least a month, reentry being a bitch.
That would be A Good Thing.
But there are other more important priorities at the moment.
She’s had her 12 hours of fame.
Career now in the hands of the DNC.
She knew she was gone as soon as AG Sessions took office.
Her choices were:
If you were a 'Rat with a resume to build, which option would you choose?
You GO girl! No, really, GO! GTFO! NOW!
Bottom line: She chose - poorly.
That will be up to the voters.
If the 'Rats regain the upper hand, she will reap the rewards of her actions.
If not, she'll probably still survive, sadly. But no one will know who she is.
We must ensure she enjoys the latter fate.
