Several Democrats expressed outrage on Monday after letters surfaced that they said suggested the White House tried to prevent former acting Attorney General Sally Yates from testifying before a House Intelligence Committee in its probe of connections between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.
"It sounds like an effort to try and muzzle persons who have information and the ability to shed light on this investigation," Rep. Jackie Speier, D-California, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, told MSNBC. [Dem Rep found out intel meetings cancelled through 'media reports']
White House officials and House Intelligence chairman Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Califonia deny such claims, saying the administration had not sought to block Yates from testifying and that the committee still planned to question her at some point.
"Neither Chairman Nunes nor any Intelligence Committee staff members had any communication with the White House whatsoever about Sally Yates testifying to the Committee," Nunes said in a statement. "The only person the Committee has spoken to about her appearing before the Committee has been her lawyer. The Committee asked her to testify on our own accord and we still intend to have her speak to us."

“Is it true you’ve stopped beating your wife?”
They want to make sure her politicized testimony gets on the record, then the Dems can demand it be in any final report, which will be enough to demand a special prosecutor.
Fake news that the Left is so susceptible to believing, according to “60 Minutes.”
Who wants to listen to a Fired Dictator anyway
Why not Loretta Lynch? Why are they calling her second in command? If this woman has two brain cells to rub together she will start claiming the 5th because it looks like she may be getting set up to take the fall for leaking
Hey, Democrats, if you want to start a revolution, go ahead and take to the streets.

It must be exhausting to be outraged on a daily basis.
I am sure Ted Koppel will jump in on this for fakery.
LOL
As if wing nut Yates has any credibility!
Ok now they are just making things up...
This isn’t even satire? After they are trying to suppress the info given to Nunes?
The way the dems are running around with their hair on fire, something big is going on. This is full on panic.
Where in Hades are they getting this disinformation from? Making it up or from some liar?
outrage over Sally Yates not being called.
No outrage over AG LoLynch not being called.
Every day I think Dems can’t dig deeper into stupid. Each day I am proven wrong
