‘No Such Thing Happened’: Sally Yates Says Obama, Biden Did Not Urge Flynn Investigation

EXCERPT:

YATES: “The purpose of this meeting was for the president to find out whether based on the calls between Ambassador Kislyak and General Flynn the transition team needed to be careful about what it was sharing with General Flynn. During the meeting, the president, the vice president, and the national security advisor did not in any way attempt to direct or influence any kind of investigation. Something like that would have set off alarms for me and it would have stuck out both at the time and in my memory. No such thing happened. The president was focused entirely on the national security implications of sharing sensitive intelligence information with General Flynn during the transition, process that was already underway at the White House. I will close with this: In this election year I hope that we will not lose sight of the very real threat posed by the ongoing efforts of a foreign adversary to undermine our democratic processes and that we will continue to proactively protect the integrity of our elections.”
