Sally Yates served as Deputy Attorney General in the Obama Administration throughout the period of time the Obama Department of Justice was accused of abusing the FISA process and constitutional rights of American citizens. Yates served as Acting Attorney General for the first ten days of the Trump administration.

One month after Donald Trump announced his intention to seek the presidency in 2015, Yates blocked the Office of Inspector General (OIG) from having oversight of the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD).[1] The OIG, Michael Horowitz, requested oversight and Yates responded with a lengthy 58-page legal explanation essentially denying the request. All of the DOJ was subject to oversight, except the National Security Division. [2] Horowitz raised concerns that his office would be required to seek the DOJ's permission. That procedure is “inconsistent with the Inspector General Act, impairs the OIG’s independence, and fails to account for the over 20 year record of Department and FBI compliance with OIG document requests."[3]

Yates was referred for criminal investigation by Congress in April 2018 for her role in signing the Carter Page FISA warrant application containing unverified and/or false information from the Clinton-Steele dossier (possible violations of 18 USC 242, 18 USC 1505 and 1515b).

The New York Post reported former State Dept. Inspector General Howard J. Krongard said:

“It will never get to an indictment." For one, any criminal referral to the Justice Department from the FBI “will have to go through four loyal Democrat women” — Assistant Attorney General Leslie Caldwell, who heads the department’s criminal division; Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates; Attorney General Loretta Lynch; and top White House adviser Valerie Jarrett.[4][5]

The fake news Logan Act violation claim was targeted to infer that any action taken by the Trump transition prior to taking office was interference with the political Obama administration Russia sanctions and would be evidence of collusion. Yates was in charge of pushing the Logan Act narrative to the media.

The first two weeks of January 2017 saw a merging of two narratives: (1) Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election; and (2) alleged Logan Act violations by Gen. Michael Flynn. The mainstream media were running this dual narrative 24/7 against the incoming Trump officials and demanding repeated answers to questions that were framed around this story-line.

On January 4, 2017, the FBI was going to drop the investigation of Flynn because they found no derogatory evidence. FBI Agent Peter Strzok demanded the investigation be kept open and the “7th Floor” agreed with him (FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Andrew McCabe).

On January 5, 2017, FBI Director James Comey went to the White House for a briefing with President Obama, Vice President Biden, ODNI James Clapper, National Security Advisor Susan Rice, and Yates. Yates had no idea that Gen. Flynn's phone conversation with Ambassador Sergei Kislyak call was captured; and she had no idea ODNI James Clapper had briefed President Obama about the call.[6] Obama asked Sally Yates and James Comey to remain behind after the briefing. This was memorialized by Susan Rice.[7][8]
