It\\u2019s January 26, 2017. Sally Yates is the acting Attorney General; she\\u2019s leading the Justice Department until Jeff Sessions is confirmed by the Senate. Yates has just learned some alarming news. The new National Security Advisor Michael Flynn has lied to FBI agents. He\\u2019s told them that he hadn\\u2019t discussed sanctions in a call with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak. But he had. And it looks like Flynn has lied to the vice president about it as well. Yates calls White House Counsel Don McGahn. She says they have to meet right away. Yates knows that the FBI has the tape to prove Flynn lied, which is a crime, but right now there\\u2019s an even bigger problem: the Russians probably have the tape too.
