"Trump fires Sally Yates for "Betrayal""


  

          

Trump fired Sally Yates after the refused to enforce the Muslim Ban - instead giving the opinion that this wasn't legal.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/acting-attorney-general-an-obama-administration-holdover-wont-defend-trump-immigration-order/2017/01/30/a9846f02-e727-11e6-b82f-687d6e6a3e7c_story.html?utm_term=.1c9a1af19209

The firing wasn't too unexpected, but the wording of the actual White House memo announcing her firing was:



Using the words "betrayed" and "very weak on illegal immigration" seems extremely unprofessional (putting it mildly) to me. What do you think?

I think she should have that framed and hung on her office wall. It's gonna look great on her resume.

Sessions will make a fine Atty. General - if only he will practice what he preached.

Thanks for posting that.

Jim.
