People withlegal and government experience would know the difference, so the most inexperienced guy in the WH wrote this.
In other words, Trump himself.

The president’s silver-tongued daughter tends to speak in the melodious, lavish tones of ad copy. She will say numerous rather than many. (“I needed to divest with numerous businesses.”) She never omits words. (“I would ask them if that [criticizing my father] would render me more effective or less effective with the people ultimately making decisions.”) She piles on superfluous but elegant descriptors as if carpeting a floor in an array of soft fabrics. (She told Gayle King she expresses herself in the White House “quietly and directly and candidly.”) Her diction inclines toward the corporate-aspirational. (“We are all working hard at architecting the lives that we want to live and the lives that are consistent with our personal priorities.”)

They will disparage Obama, on cue, at every opportunity (and throw in some anti-Hillary propaganda for kicks). Unfortunately this is about your administration's relationships with Russia via Flynn, and others, and the Democrats on the committee will not conveniently forget that.

Flynn was fired from the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014 but his security clearance was renewed in 2016. It was never revoked.

Bad move Donny! You just admitted that Sally Yates *did* warn the WH Counsel!

BTW, there's NO such thing as WH "Council"

"Ask Sally Yates, under oath, if she knows how classified information got into the newspapers soon after she explained it to W.H. Council."


Seems pretty clear that W.H Council spoke to the press, no?

A pathological liar like Trump seems to be at a bit of a disadvantage when up against a consummate professional like Sally Yates, he basically showing up to a gunfight with a box of crayons.
