Wow, this is better than any political drama.

U.S. President Donald Trump fired top federal government lawyer Sally Yates on Monday after she took the extraordinarily rare step of defying the White House and refused to defend new travel restrictions targeting seven Muslim-majority nations.

Got that? Then watch this.

For those not aware of context: This video is from 2015. It is Sally Yates' confirmation hearing for Deputy Attorney General. The person interviewing her is Jeff Sessions. Sessions is currently Trumps' nomination for Attorney General. If confirmed by Senate vote on Tuesday, he will take the position she was just fired from tonight, for doing exactly what she describes in the video, defying a Presidents' orders because she wasn't convinced they were legal.
