True. Considering that timescale, it could be possible her firing was already in motion and her dissent was merely a perfect opportunity to fulfill that plan.
Agreed.

Side note: We've been duped. The Flynn tweet that Trekky linked and another tweet from the same thread that I linked were both made by a parody account which has now revealed itself as one. In retrospect, shit was obvious and we really should have noticed sooner, but hindsight is 20/20

This might be the first time I've heard the words "fake news" used correctly since the election... thank you.

Huh...
How do we KNOW it's fake?
I mean, it says it's fake but even Donald Trump's "official" twitter account could just write "fake" on itself.

Fake Fake is Fake.
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

>mfw I already pointed this out:

Also, the media is reporting that the Twitter account is fake.

As for Sally Yates, she was going to be replaced when Sessions was confirmed as the new AG, so it's highly unlikely that there was any plan to fire her prior to her taking a stand against the travel ban.

Donald wants it both ways.  He wants it to be fake news AND Real Leaks.

i can't get over the irony that he was basically elected on leaked information stolen from the dnc.  good thing that nfo got out tho because otherwise we'd never have uncovered that hillary was a well-connected politician.

Does anyone think it is acceptable for an unelected and unimpeachable government body to actively undermine and engage in espionage against our elected officials for political reasons?

If anyone thinks that the CIA doesn't like Trump because he is a "bad guy" obviously doesn't have a clue what the CIA actually is or does. This is a power struggle, plain and simple, between the Deep State and our Democratically Elected President.

Either Trump will have to strike a deal with them to get them to stop their smear campaign or we may eventually get a reminder what happens when a President doesn't play ball with the powers that be.

I'm confused. Is making them an elected body supposed to make them LESS political?

Hold on, are you talking about the President Appointed head of the CIA, it's hired and fireable members, and the fact that it was monitoring a foreign diplomat and not our elected officials, who aren't even elected officials.  No one implicated in this is an elected official.  Every single one of them either worked on Trump's campaign or was APPOINTED.

You do know they haven't said Trump did anything wrong, right?  Hell, they haven't said any of his appointed staff did anything wrong after January 20th.  So again, how can they have a power struggle?

You realize this is literally the FBI E-mail server scandal all over again, right?  Where an investigative body of the government is investigating a political figure and making their lives difficult?
Trump was very happy when the FBI sent that memo that they'll reopen the investigation.  Why can't he be happy now?

Trump called a press conference.
Spent the time complaining about the press, the media, Democrats sad that they lost, and fake news.
Does this man have anything better to do than bitch?  He is literally the bitchiest president we have ever had and still people follow him, treating him like some god given savior of America.
(Yes, I've seen facebook comments that say just that.)

The neverending cringe-fest of doom. On the plus side, the longer he keeps this up, the more of his supporters he will drag down with him when he inevitably sinks.

Then I weep for the state of America in 4 years.

Edit: Who knows. Maybe all this Russia business is smoke without substance. Maybe he will learn to stop insulting other world leaders for stupid reasons. Maybe he will start making sane policy decisions based on intelligent analysis and verifiable data rather than InfoWar's latest conspiracy theory or that morning's cable news opinion pieces. Maybe he will make the effort to understand our various trade and security agreements with other nations and refrain from making rash decisions based on uninformed campaign talking points. Maybe he won't undermine the constitutional integrity of our nation by ignoring judicial authority. Maybe, maybe, maybe.

My favorite part of the press conference:

Quote
QUESTION: I just want to get you to clarify this very important point. Can you say definitively that nobody on your campaign had any contacts with the Russians during the campaign? And on the leaks, is it fake news or are these real leaks?

TRUMP: Well the leaks are real. You’re the one that wrote about them and reported them, I mean the leaks are real. You know what they said, you saw it and the leaks are absolutely real. The news is fake because so much of the news is fake.

Okay.

Best moments:

1. Passing the buck off to some rando who probably doesn't exist for telling Trump lies about his electoral college win, something easily Googled.

2. Asking a black reporter to set up a meeting for him with the Congressional Black Caucus.

3. Trump doesn't discuss military responses. Because super top secretsies. Or something.

4. Bringing up Hillary Clinton again, like he's still on the campaign.

5. Real leaks, Fake news.

I think, based on his usage, "fake news" means "News that paints me in a negative light".
