Page Pate: Sally Yates Warned the White House Flynn Could Be Blackmailed

‘This is another example of Sally Yates trying to do the right thing’

EXCERPT:

PATE: “Well, Alysin, this is another example of Sally Yates trying to do the right thing but the White House ignoring her. I think Sally Yates not just had the problem with the potential for blackmail but she also identified the possibility that Flynn had violated federal law. There’s a law on the books called Logan Act, which does prevent a private citizen from having discussions like this with a foreign government if there's any intent to influence the conduct of that foreign government. Now it’s an old law. It hasn’t really been used to prosecute anyone but it’s still on the books and it’s a felony. As soon as Sally Yates recognized there was a problem like this inside the White House she did everything she could to let them know about it. It just appears they didn’t care.”
