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.

Before or after she was canned?
Obama tried to goad Russia into a confrontation as he was going out the door. It`s entirely reasonable for the incoming administration to signal the Tussians that they don`t intend to be tied to Obama`s provacative policies. Obama is the one who should explain himself.
Good she is gone now.
Absolutely. He lied; he had to go. No way to make this smell good. He would taint the Administration. The media isn’t the issue here. Though it is ironic to note Yates’ concern about national security.
I agree, but too many people on our side still grip whenever they start blasting away on the president. The media is so transparent. They were in worship mode for the last eight years while one scandal after another swirled all The One and his administration. Now they’re going nonstop in their vitriol against Trump. We all knew this was gonna happen, but predictably even among our own ranks we have people already pushing the panic button!
Are you new? This will be the distraction and Trump won’t be able to change his foreign policy. He should 100% not accept this resignation! He is at risk of completely losing control of the government. It should be obvious. They won’t let him decide foreign policy. Open your eyes!

This news will be forgotten in a couple days like everything else. And lol, Trump’s foreign policy will go on without a hitch. Turn off MSM, only leftist even watch that crap these days
Yep, Hussein Obama toe to toe with the Rooskies.
This is a test for Trump. Sounds as if they have Flynns conversation recorded and are prepared to release it. Question is does Trump cave and appoint an approved establishment guy like Petraeus.
Or does he like you said find someone who will fight off the islamists and stop the war path saber rattling with Russia.
Flynn should have created a “FLYNN” Global Initiative front charity. Apparently you can do as you wish if you are a global charity (literally for the kids).
NZ PM Key and German PM Merkel gave her “charity” millions as late as October 2016.
PM Key resigned Dec 5 2016 amid controversies.... P_____gate, the CGI donation to HRC with NZ taxpayer dollars, and abused children in their CPS / foster system.
Totally agree.
Your question about being ‘new’ actually made me laugh out loud.
Do you think someone ‘new’ isn’t qualified to disagree with you, or what?

I’ll believe that bit about blackmail, when they prove the golden showers about Trump. I think Flynn fell on his sword. The bad actors were in fear of Flynn, because he knew where to go digging for the buried bodies.
According to what I read was said, he really didn’t discuss the sanctions. When the ambassador brought it up, he referred him back to the President Elect’s statements, and asked them not to over react to Obama’s actions.
He did not make some sort of deal regarding lifting sanctions. So I don’t get how they can call it a lie, if he said he didn’t make a deal with the sanctions.
One of the commentators was critical of him, because he had an interview on RT and was in Russia for the interview.
Yep.
They left will be going after more. I hope this won't turn out like 1994 when they let the left force four of the most conservative representatives to resign and then President Bush Jr. and the Republicans Cowards never covered the backs of any of their people when they come under attack by these lower forms of life.
If President Trump doesn't cover the back of his people, the rest of his nominations, which should have already been in place, will be drug across an extended fresh round of coals.
If he's not careful they will be withdrawing their name and those in place will looking over their shoulder every time they make a decision to see if they are be fed to the wolves.
The longer he lets these degenerates hold up his picks the longer they have to digg into their lives.
Lets see who they go after next.
Seems like I got your attention. Something resonated.
As I’ve come to see how President Trump moves...his counter punch will be brilliant.

Exactly. Trump should have stood by him.
This is all the more reason for Trump to dump every single Obama holdover effective immediately, and pressure Trump to get to the bottom of who and where, his enemies are inside the corrupt DOJ, FBI, CIA, etc.
Just a flesh wound. If he lied, you can’t have him on your staff.
Though, as always it’s probably not as simple as that.
Mike Pence is a sleeper. I wonder if he’ll be Trumps Brutus?
