Gregg Jarrett: Sally Yates says James Comey went 'rogue,' but she was just as unscrupulous
Like Alice in Wonderland, Sally Yates embraces a contorted view of reality
By Gregg Jarrett | Fox News
Sally Yates, who served as Deputy Attorney General during a critical period as the Russia collusion hoax evolved in 2016-17, trashed fired FBI director James Comey during her testimony Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
She readily agreed that Comey went “rogue†in his unauthorized pursuit of former national security adviser Michael Flynn. But that, of course, was stating the obvious. It was too easy. Comey managed to turn himself into a human piñata when he engaged in blatant acts of corruption.
Like Comey, Yates was a model of prevarication and insincerity on nearly all other matters. She minimized her own negligence and incompetence while blaming everyone else.
Some of her testimony was factually wrong and demonstrably so.

Instead of owning up to her own mistakes (or malevolence), Yates doubled-down by smearing people associated with the 2016 Trump presidential campaign.
Unbelievably, she accused George Papadopoulos of being “connected to Russian intelligence.†There is no evidence of that.
