NY Times Hawks Tickets for Evening with Resistance Leader Sally Yates

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 see your point. But before those leaders went away, millions upon millions died.

I’m a firm believer that history repeats itself. Names and technology changes, the plots never do. It’s human behavior, we as a whole do not learn from the past.

I like to compare the USA to the greatness of the Roman Empire. Or for that matter the British Empire. Both great in their heyday. Britain is now a subject of the EU, brexit or not. Italy is quite low on the totem pole today.

Point is, sooner or later (I hope centuries)we will be overcome and forced to fully submit to the left or whatever replaces them if we survive the current onslaught.

I’m just hoping I’m in my grave before it happens.

Ralph Barnes, the New York Herald Tribune reporter, turned to Duranty (Duranty was the New York Times Columnist - an evil monster who won a Pulitzer) and asked him what he was going to write. Duranty replied:
Nothing. What are a few million dead Russians in a situation like this? Quite unimportant. This is just an incident in the sweeping historical changes here. I think the entire matter is exaggerated.
And this was at a time when peasants in Ukraine were dying of starvation at the rate of 25,000 a day.

Of course the NYT would side with Sally Yates... they sided with Stalin...

I’m not so sure the noose is tightening. These people all act like they haven’t a care in the world. You would think they would keep their heads down and shut up if they felt they were in jeopardy.

Disagree. When you are over the target, the more flak you receive. The cabal is becoming more publicly hostile and virulent because when the indictments come down, they will claim this is all political, i.e., Trump is using the power of the government to go after his enemies. The irony of it all.

Just reading McCabe's statement should give you a hint of what the cabal's tactics will be. Some excerpts:

"For the last year and a half, my family and I have been the targets of an unrelenting assault on our reputation and my service to this country. Articles too numerous to count have leveled every sort of false, defamatory and degrading allegation against us. The President's tweets have amplified and exacerbated it all. He called for my firing. He called for me to be stripped of my pension after more than 20 years of service. And all along we have said nothing, never wanting to distract from the mission of the FBI by addressing the lies told and repeated about us."

"But looking at that in isolation completely misses the big picture. The big picture is a tale of what can happen when law enforcement is politicized, public servants are attacked, and people who are supposed to cherish and protect our institutions become instruments for damaging those institutions and people."

"Here is the reality: I am being singled out and treated this way because of the role I played, the actions I took, and the events I witnessed in the aftermath of the firing of James Comey. The release of this report was accelerated only after my testimony to the House Intelligence Committee revealed that I would corroborate former Director Comey's accounts of his discussions with the President. The OIG's focus on me and this report became a part of an unprecedented effort by the Administration, driven by the President himself, to remove me from my position, destroy my reputation, and possibly strip me of a pension that I worked 21 years to earn. The accelerated release of the report, and the punitive actions taken in response, make sense only when viewed through this lens. Thursday's comments from the White House are just the latest example of this."

"This attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally, but to taint the FBI, law enforcement, and intelligence professionals more generally. It is part of this Administration's ongoing war on the FBI and the efforts of the Special Counsel investigation, which continue to this day. Their persistence in this campaign only highlights the importance of the Special Counsel's work."

The cabal will wrap themselves in the flag and attack Trump. Who knows what is really going on behind the scenes. I have no doubt that Trump is fully aware of what is in the IG report and so is probably the cabal informed by their toadies inside the FBI and DOJ. IMO there is already a grand jury operating. I fully expect a second special counsel to be named after the IG report is released.

The cabal will continue to squeal the loudest as the noose tightens. They know what is coming down the track and are trying to discredit it before the public learns of their perfidy. Look at the way the Dems and some Reps have rallied around McCabe. Rubio thought it was wrong to deny McCabe his pension. Graham wants to have hearings on why McCabe was fired. McCabe is the victim according to the Dems and MSM who portray the firing as being the work of Trump rather than the FBI's internal affairs office.

You can expect the voices of the cabal to get louder and more hysterical. Look for a full court press from the Obama administration and the MSM.
