[See NewsBusters for more.] MSNBC Live host Brian Williams could hardly contain his enthusiasm on Wednesday as former Deputy Attorney General testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee about the FBI's investigation into retired general and former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn. Throughout the show Williams showed that he was willing to burn strawmen and ignore all the evidence that suggests the FBI's investigation had serious issues.

Williams began his praise for Yates by teasing what was to come after a commercial break, "When we return, President Trump's allies in the Senate once again looking to politicize law enforcement in this country as the former deputy attorney general, Sally Yates pushes back against the Republican narrative about the origins, remember that word, about the FBI's investigation into Russia election interference."
