1) The fallacy here--stated by Sally Yates--is that the "investigators" are beyond reproach. The Founders rightly believed the public would/should be skeptical of power, and gave tools (checks/balances) to bring to light.
2) The notion that the most powerful people in the land--law enforcement and intelligence services--should never be questioned, that their version should be accepted as fact, is antithetical to our system.
3) And especially knowing the facts we do--FISA warrants, spies/informants, dossiers paid for by a rival campaign--we should absolutely ask the investigators questions. The notion that the White House can't do this, because it was the target of said investigators, is nonsense.
4) The cleanest way out of this is for the WH to declassify everything. The DOJ/FBI/Intelligence community has forfeited its arguments about classification, given its willingness to blow a source so that it could spin a story. Let the chips fall.
