The Sweet, Sweet (Pre) Tears of Rachel Maddow

She nearly pissed her eyes out over the fact that Michael Flynn was pushed out of the Administration on February 14th instead of like February 2nd, As Justice Demanded.

"That's getting us to the really, really important point here, right? We now know that the Justice Department, including the acting Attorney General, Sally Yates, she went to the White House at the end of January," Maddow said, appearing to choke up as she spoke, "…[S]he and another senior career Justice official informed the White House counsel that Mike Flynn had had contacts with the Russian government."

...

Maddow followed up by suggesting Flynn should never have been allowed to serve as national security adviser. "Because he'd been lying about it he could conceivably be blackmailed by Russia, which is a very bad thing, right?" she asked.

Two things, Gary. (She looks like a Gary to me.)

1. You can't be blackmailed if the blackmail information has already been revealed to the relevant parties, like your boss.

2. You can't be blackmailed over Things Which Are Silly, like whether or not Flynn gave a vague, Obama-esque answer like "We'll have more flexibility to review these matters" after the inauguration.
