Embattled national security adviser Michael Flynn's fate as one of President Donald Trump's senior aides is uncertain following reports that he discussed U.S. sanctions with a Russian envoy before Trump's inauguration.
A top White House official sidestepped repeated chances Sunday to publicly defend him. The president, who spent the weekend at his private club in Florida, has yet to comment on Flynn's status. Nor has Vice President Mike Pence, who previously denied that Flynn had discussed sanctions with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the U.S.
Pence and Flynn spoke twice on Friday, according to an administration official.
Trump has told associates he is troubled by the situation, but he has not said whether he plans to ask Flynn to step down, according to a person who spoke with him recently. Flynn was a loyal Trump supporter during the campaign, but he is viewed skeptically by some in the administration's national security circles, in part because of his ties to Russia.
The administration official and both people with ties to Trump spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.

And IF you can prove that in court do so
There’s plenty of evidence for anyone in a position to do some digging:

Court proof....
And it looks like Flynn actually committed the cardinal sin of not being 100% honest with Trump and Pence - I was hoping it wouldn't come down to that but trump really won't keep those who aren't honest with him - if it had just been the phone calls that the media went nuts over and he had not screwed the pooch which made Spicer and Pence say things that weren't true, he'd still be the SecDef.
Bums me out that the LSM and Dems will use this as a battering ram.
Seems like once again, Trump is going it alone. I fail to hear anyone on our side defending Flynn, so maybe it’s best he goes, but please insulate the president from this BS that he has ties to Russia.
I think Rudy would be a good replacement.
