Podcasts about acting attorney general sally yates

Last month, special counsel Robert Mueller revealed something disturbing about former FBI Director James Comey. Here’s what Mueller disclosed: In January 2017, when Comey sent FBI agents to interview then–national security adviser Michael Flynn, Comey bypassed his own boss, Acting Attorney General Sally Yates. The story sounds innocuous, and it doesn’t serve either party’s narrative, so nobody made a fuss about it. But it’s important.

After joining Chancellor Nicholas S. Zeppos for a discussion on “The Presidency and the Rule of Law” Tuesday night, former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates joined Zeppos for an episode of The Zeppos Report. In the podcast, the two lawyers discuss the role of the Department of Justice at length, touching on topics such as the Trump administration’s controversial travel ban, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and the Russia investigation. Yates, released from her role in the Trump administration after 10 days, shares the following advice: “Batten down the hatches, keep looking straight ahead, and do your job,” she said. As the conversation progresses, Yates and Zeppos return to the themes of free speech and civil discourse, which serve as the bedrocks for both Vanderbilt University and the Department of Justice. “We are big believers in free speech,” Zeppos said. “Yet, I think for a university, it’s not just the vocal protest but its civil discourse and engagement.” Yates agrees, noting that the face-to-face interactions and deep discussions that often occur in university settings or through community-based programs are essential for the continued health of the country’s democratic institutions. While unsure about her next step, Yates concludes the interview by expressing her continued reverence for the vocation of public service. She remains tightly tethered to the tenets of the Department of Justice. “The only agency that’s named for a virtue,” Yates said.

On Monday, Acting Attorney General Sally Yates ordered the Justice Department not to defend President Trump's executive order banning refugees and immigrants from seven majority-Muslim countries, only to be quickly fired by Trump. Jack Goldsmith and Marty Lederman, who have both served in senior positions in the Office of Legal Counsel, penned responses—Jack criticizing Yates's actions and Marty defending them. We got them on the line for a special edition of the Lawfare Podcast. 

The liberal left is up in arms over Donald Trump's firing of Acting Attorney General Sally Yates. Yates announced earlier this week that she would direct the Justice Department to not defend President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration restrictions. The liberal left is calling Yates a hero for standing up to a tyrant. The truth is, President Trump is showing his increased vision for the future and is insisting that his team follow suit. Oh, and Yates was replaced by another Obama appointee... The Sean Hannity Show is live Monday through Friday from 3pm - 6pm ET on iHeart Radio and Hannity.com.
