Nunes' "gag order on Sally Yates"

Ex-CIA and DoD chief of staff Jeremy Bash tells Brian Williams that Nunes cancelled the public hearing originally scheduled for tomorrow because Sally Yates would have been asked to testify about what she told the White House re: Flynn's Russian ties, and how they responded. Bash characterizes the cancellation as an "elaborately choreographed gag order on Sally Yates." Brief clip at link:
