To conclude that Yates 'monitored and recorded' the conversation as some sort of partisan move is patently false...read the article again (and again if necessary).  Here's the info from the article...U.S. officials wiretapped the calls as part of routine monitoring of foreign officials’ communications in the United States...  It always happens during foreign communications, and both countries in those communications monitor these calls btw. 
This isn't new, exciting or darkly partisan (though it seems you wish it were). No left conspiracy, no new rules against this administration, just standard protocol. Boring perhaps, but true.
This is no more about Yates than it is about you. Perhaps you could resist the hot take approach for a more balanced assessment? Particularly when the facts are well known, over decades, and have been a normal part of administrations procedures from either party.
