White House Denies Trying to Block Sally Yates From Testifying On Russia | MSNBC

This administration is extremely CORROPTED!!

[kevinalonso]

Nunes must step down, we need an independent investigation.

[asabry]

Why would I believe anything that comes out of this White House?

[AmberEyedVirgo]

Calling Flynn an Admiral insults my Navy intelligence. Ret. General Flynn isn't welcome in my Navy

[phillipjewell]

would like to express my concern over all the craziness that has come out of our government.
We the people ( are no more )

If the Republicans insist on canceling the committee hearings, the Democrats should call a press conference and have her answer questions from all comers. The public and the press should be able to come up with some doozies.

[benjaminfranklin]

They're already growing cold feet what are they afraid of let her testify

[parabola]

Spicer said he would love for Yates to testify. Perfect. Lets do it. Maybe she doesn't have much, but lets have a real investigation. Something is fishy.

[mcveritas]

So Donnie ; back in the good old days they used to execute TRAITORS....

[NiennaT]

the Whitehouse wants people to talk to the committee "freely and openly" rather than under oath. no surprise there.

[iamsammi]

Stop screwing around and get back to the Hearings minus Nunes!

[markgreen]

It's a smart move by Bannon to let Yates testify rather than invoking executive privilege. It's less suspicious to dodge questions during one's testimony than to refuse to testify altogether.

[cherrishcornell]

How is it ok to influence an investigation about you and nobody has a problem with this picture

[thefreehoboevanska]

Hope all those who speak up and against the Trump administration has good police protection. You never know .

[breitbart]

In related news, the White House has categorically denied that Donald Trump is ''president'' period.

[drparnassus]

They could actually be telling the truth, but at this point no-one would believe them.

[foghornleghorn]

Drumpf is about to auger in like a lawn dart.

[JustMeELC]

This administration couldn't make themselves look more guilty if they tried lol

[bonesoap]

When is the FBI going to move forward with their intel? There must be actionable intel by now... *what are you waiting for FBI?*

[graemeaddie]

I love how Chris Hays always say blow me
