Yates testified that she talked with McGahn three times about Flynn, reiterating that “every time this lie was repeated, the misrepresentations were getting more and more specific,” and “every time that happened, it increased” the chances that Flynn would be compromised. “To state the obvious, you don’t want your national security adviser compromised by the Russians,” she concluded.
Yates’s testimony is particularly damning because it shows she clearly tried to warn the White House that Flynn had not only engaged in “problematic” conduct but also that he had misled Pence, who unwittingly then transmitted those deceptions to the American public.
….The fact that the warnings weren’t heeded, and that it took public pressure to force Flynn out, makes that two-week period between the first Yates-McGahn meeting and Flynn’s resignation the crucial period for investigators to examine.
hmmmm
