Good morning, everybody. The hearing will come to order. Today were going to have a video hearing with ms. Sally yates, who was the acting attorney general for a period of time in january of 2017 and was the number two at the department of justice in early january 2017. Ms. Yates appeared before the committee on may 18th, 2017. That was before the Mueller Investigation really got started. It was before the horowitz report about the Mueller Investigation was issued, and i believe much has been learned since may of 2018 2017. And we would like to discuss certain topics with ms. Yates. My view of ms. Yates is that she exercised good caution and legal judgment in january of 2017, and if people had followed her advice, things might be different today, so i just want to let you know, ms. 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

As you access 880, from thornton on that southbound side, those east thornton ramp to sue south 880, eastbound lanes, at least two of them are blocked for fire crews. Emergency crews are on the scene. You got a lot of activity there. One lane is open, but expect a lot of delays getting onto the freeway. No delays on the mainline.

Forestry. Those scientists had the idea to insert the oxalate oxidation gene from wheat into the dna of the american chestnut to degrade the oxalic acid produced by chestnut light. In 2021. These scientists asked the government permission to introduce the newly genetically modified trees into the wild. Thats great, right. Well, no, actually, its not great. First, we have no idea what the Environmental Impact will be of producing a genetically modified tree into nature. Its never been done before. And even if we had an idea of what would happen, we still dont know what would happen. 5100, even 200 years from now. Remember, these trees live for centuries. And perhaps most disturbingly the same. Scientists recently made a very serious mistake. Instead of using something called the 58 pollinate trees in their research plots, they accidentally use something called d 54, which has o x. So dna in a different part of its genome. Almost all of the thousands of test trees are d. 54. 00 is not th
When i was a little boy growing up in the us state of pennsylvania, we had thousands and thousands of chestnut trees in the area. We used to throw the chestnuts at each other for fun. And our parents would gather them and roast them as a snack. But then disease struck the american chestnut populations. I havent seen a chestnut tree in decades. Theyre almost all gone. Scientists now say that theyve come up with a plan to revive the american chests, not through genetic engineering to something that might sound like a great idea. But is it . Its never been done before, and we have literally no idea what it will do to other trees as its pollen is spread by the winds. B, as in other insects, are we saving the american chestnut for our . We do mean other species and john kerry onto welcome to the whistle blowers the the. 2 2 2 scientists have been working for years to revive the american chestnut, a large tree that once covered the eastern part of the country and provided food for humans and
