Matt Miller: Sally Yates Was Looking out for Michael Flynn and the the W.H.

‘Sally Yates is one of the most talented, most courageous, classiest, smartest prosecutor of her generation’

EXCERPT:

MILLER: "Here’s the word to describe Sally Yates, that we can't use on morning television or late night television on really any time."
UNKNOWN MALE: "Probably shouldn’t use any time."
MILLER: "Yeah, shouldn't use any time. And I will tell you as someone who works with Sally Yates, I was kind of shaking with anger when I read it yesterday. Look, Sally Yates is one of the most talented, most courageous, classiest, smartest prosecutors of her generation. And she was an Obama administration appointee, but in her holdover time, what I think Donald Trump has always missed about the warning about Mike Flynn, she was looking out for him."
BARNICLE: "Yeah."
MILLER: "She was looking out for the White House, even though she came from an administration of a different party. She was trying to warn them that they had someone in their midst who would embarrass the White House and potentially would compromise the White House. And not only did they ignore it but they turned on her. And I think it’s a sign, that, you know, like everything else we're seeing in the book, this president really — not just the president but all the people around him, weren’t really ready to run the government when they took office. And I think in the last year we’ve seen they haven’t gotten any better at it."
