It's Draft Time: Impeachment Edition

[hollodero]

I see a lengty fight about Sally Yates coming up. If so, have fun. Just one thing, no matter her motives (I personally think there are signs she did the right thing, but whatever), there's no explanation why you would keep a Flynn in office as national security advisor without any restrictions for 18 days after recieving a warning like hers, with the offer to back up the claims by evidence. There's also no explanation why Michael Flynn was cleared for security advisor in the first place. In short, the red flags about him could not have been ignored, and even blatant incompetence can't be an excuse for that.

This talking point "Yates was the political opponent, so who would take that too seriously" is in no way warranted or excusable, no matter if Yates interpreted her job correctly or not. The handlings of Flynn are legit cause for suspicions. Just trying to stick to the points that might or might not be a part of an impeachment procedure.

And Chuck Schumer shouldn't have brought Yates' firing up, too. That wasn't a good move.
