Yates confirms that she indeed warned the trump administration about Flynn, and Flynn was not removed until that information was made public, rather than right away. Republicans on the sub committee tried to muddy the waters by asking all sorts of question none of which had anything to do with Russia.
I wasn't really surprised by anything that took place today.
Anyone else have any different reaction?
