Washington (CNN)Embattled White House national security adviser Michael Flynn resigned Monday night, two sources tell CNN. His departure came just after reports surfaced the Justice Department warned the Trump administration last month that Flynn misled administration officials regarding his communications with the Russian ambassador to the United States and was potentially vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians.

The media that didn’t do sh*t for eight years is going all out 24/7 to try and wreck this presidency.

Their thought is that they can delegitimize President Trump, and it will be back to business as usual.

However: If we can't have anything nice, then THEY can't have anything nice.

Sorry, Uniparty scumbags. The party is OVER.

Deep State won. Trump and the outsiders lost. Big time. Deep State HAD to take out Flynn because he was inside the belly of the Deep State as head of DIA and knew their m.o. They fabricated and lied and pushed the narrative and won. Major loss for realists. So, first we have the federal judiciary control our immigration policy and we have Deep State controlling foreign policy and making the world safe for Davos.

President Trump needs to appoint someone who will make the MSM and the establishment even more upset than having General Flynn. They can not be given a victory.

that guy is unravelling. he has already forgotten that we won in November.

Guys like that will be the first to become disillusioned, and start causing a bunch of friendly fire casualties.

Yeah, and the globalists having things “back to normal” means the end of this country period. Oh man, things are going to come to a head pretty soon. This country is divided thanks to the Deathocrats who wish gloom on this country, but damn the tens of millions of idiots that are too stupid to see they’re being used and will be swirling down the drain once the globalists are done using them.

You know that they have the goods on Hillary and you also know that there is not a damn thing that will be done about her. In my opinion, she should be hanged, but for some reason or reasons, laws do not apply to her.

Not only that, but they’ve armed the Russians with weapons to damage Trump.

What if Russia wanted to start making things up on what Trump / Russian connections are?

They’ve given Putin Carte Blanche to destabilize the Government.

Nope. I think Trump fired him and told Flynn it will be characterized as a 'resignation'.

Now we'll see if the LEAK PROBLEM goes away along with him.

I know! Hysterical panic is just not necessary. Sometimes ppl care too much what the opposition says, does, thinks— about our side.

We already know that answer. No need to start fretting about how hard they’re going to beat us with it.

They are BRUTAL. We know this. Dig in. Man your battle stations. Fire at will.

I believe the Russian election interference meme that came up 4-6 weeks prior to inauguration was used by Obama to open an FBI / DOJ investigation that actually bridged administrations with the goal of setting up impeachment, resignation, or neutralization of our new President. This is hopefully the first and only hit we take.

Fire them all. Nuke the Russians. Put the Democrats in camps.

That’s the perfect solution to one guy being forced to resign because he did something stupid.

Sincerely hope not but tomorrow morning will tell. Flynn is not establishment and has been with our President through thick and thin. Enthusiastically.

"I agree, I don't see why he resigned."

Cuz he lied to Pence, who then vouched for him.

That left Pence looking like a dunce if they kept Flynn.

This way, it looks like Trump/Pence don't put up with unreliable troops.

This is bad. Flynn is hated by the DC interventionist establishment because of his work exposing Obama’s support for terrorists in Syria in the famous DIA intelligence assessment.

This is in effect payback by the CIA.
