Ms. Yates appeared before the committee on may 18th, 2017. That was before the Mueller Investigation really got started.

Yates, from my point of view, you analyzed the situation fairly correctly, and we will get into that later on. Whats the purpose of this hearing . Its to ask questions of ms. Yates knowing then what she know
