Sally Yates Calls Trump's DOJ Tweet 'Beyond Abnormal, Dangerous'

Former deputy attorney general Sally Yates blasted President Donald Trump Tuesday on Twitter, hours after he called for the "deep state Justice Department" to incarcerate a former aide to Hillary Clinton.

POTUS on 12/28: “I have the absolute right to do what I want with the Justice Department.” Today he slanders career DOJ professionals as “deep state,” calls for prison for a political opponent, and tries to sic DOJ on a potential witness against him. Beyond abnormal; dangerous. https://t.co/eW4MCIEOGB
