The media have figured out they cant bring down or impeach President Trump. So they are targeting his Cabinet officials and top advisers one by one. In the case of Michael T. Flynn, the media think they have hit pay dirt. The Washington Post has led the charge, using top-secret surveillance intercepts of communications between Flynn and the Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Its more evidence that the CIA, and perhaps the National Security Agency (NSA), are out to destroy Trumps national security adviser.
The knives are out for Flynn, said one administration official quoted in the paper. The knives are computer keyboards in the hands of scribblers for a paper whose owner, Amazons Jeff Bezos, has a business relationship with the CIA. The Post is wielding the knives provided by anonymous intelligence officials. Nobody knows this better than the Posts Watergate reporter, Bob Woodward, who said on Fox News that the CIA was using unverified garbage allegations in a campaign to destroy Trump himself. Since Trump has survived, the campaign has taken a new form against Flynn, a close adviser to Trump on foreign policy who had campaigned with him and by his side.

The Washington Post, the NYTs and Politico are hardly unbiased sources when it comes to General Flynn.
There is plenty of reason to believe they are obfuscating, shading meaning, and outright lying.
The big story should be how operatives in the Intellegence agencies are using the full tools of those agencies to bring down people in the administration that they dislike.
Who is to rule? The Intelligence agencies and their friends in the Estabishment media, or the Trump Administration?
That is the question.
The NSA is an enemy of America. That’s why they’re afraid of Trump and Snowden. And it’s obvious some underlings have a lot of power theyi afraid they will lose.
Because the FBI had wire tapped Flynn after the election. He was on tape
The CIA is FULL of Bushes, Clintons and Barkys...need I say more?
If you remember the history when Poppy Bush was head of the CIA; if you remember the Clinton days, and even with Sec. of State Clinton; and now the Barkys and the Muslim Brotherhood...
This was a ‘cut throat’ job they did on Flynn, just look at how the ‘old hag’ Clinton replied on Flynn stepping down...why would she insert ‘pizza gate’ into this if she wasn’t involved in it???
Hillary is mentally ill, and when you understand this, then you can understand her...
Flynn misled Pence.
Good points. PCPOET7 also raises a good point that General Flynn was a sacrifice, perhaps intentional, to lay the foundation for any politician or public person who, other than the President, seeks to influence foreign affairs by making unauthorized agreements under the Logan Act, an Act that was passed more than 200 years ago.
The Logan Act makes it a federal crime to represent the United States or portray an official capacity to enter negotiations and make deals when such ‘official’ capacity is unauthorized and therefore fraudulent.
The Logan Act emerged as a reason to prosecute General Flynn even though the Act has never been used before in history although there were many instances where it applied. For example, Jimmy Carter after leaving the Presidency began talks with the North Koreans over their nuclear program without any appointment from then President Clinton. Carter came away proclaiming the North Koreans had agreed to set aside their pursuit of developing nuclear weapons. The Logan Act was never mentioned in connection with Carter.
The Logan Act may not even be Constitutional, but after more than 200 years of its passage, it was dug up by enemies of the President as a means to take down his National Security Director.
So now that this Act has emerged as a political weapon, it is fair for the President to use it in the same manner. Obama, Kerry, Clinton and all others who are unauthorized but who pretend to act as representing the United States and its people before foreign powers, are now in the crosshairs of the Logan Act.
[Why did Trump not stand by Flynn if all this was just media/CIA?]
Flynn lied to Pence. Made Pence look bad when Pence went in front of the media and spread the lie.
If Flynn was honest from the beginning, Trump would have been able to defend him.
With this “resignation”, Trump just set the tone that he won’t tolerate any dishonesty among his staff.

The guy (Flynn) is a pal of KGB Putin. He was invited, presumably by him, to attend and speak at a 10th anniversary celebration for the state-controlled Russian propaganda "news" outlet Russia Today (RT). I suggest you actually read and digest the facts I provided before rushing to defend him.
Trying to bust up the CIA got Kennedy killed. That cabal is controlled, along with the Mossad, by the Banksters——and the control has been going on for a 100 years in America, so how Trump is going to get through this—I don’t know. He needs God and prayers, that I do know..
Forget the BS left-wing snooze media. Most of these are incontrovertible facts, including the fact that Flynn did indeed attend and speak at the 10-year anniversary gala for the state-run propaganda Russia Today, seating two seats away from KGB/FSB Putin himself. And that he continued appearing on their network afterwards. This is in addition to his suggesting to his Russian pals that the sanctions would be lifted (by Trump), I believe including the ones regarding Russia's invasion of Crimea that all of Trump's appointees agree on keeping (see my prior posts for their statements on Russia and their invasion of Crimea).
“Trying to bust up the CIA got Kennedy killed.”
No it did not.
This was a false narrative spread by the KGB and other leftist groups.
JFK was killed by a leftist conspiracy aided by Castro. The Warren Commission cover up was to prevent a public outcry and a call to invade Cuba.
After the Libya destruction all bets were off with the progressives best friends the Russians.. Good grief, after the Berlin wall came down, we the tax payers were on the hook for all manner of goodies to assist the Russian bear.
Who have the Russians been ‘blackmailing’ during every liberal president since Truman?
Bttt.

Fire the next highest 100, then the next highest 100, until the agency is whittled down to the janitors and technicians.
That is how to play ball with these communists.
We have a BRAND NEW CIA director, he NEEDS to do this NOW!!! Top 100 is a good start!!!
No doubt those you speak of were and are out to get Trump and his cabinet. Saying that they should have known this and thought before they give them the ammo to destroy them.
Trump is an outsider and when he said clean the Swamp it gave them headsup.D.C. is corrupt without a doubt.Trump needs to clean D. C.out without a doubt but they have circled the wagons.Federal Employees donated to Hillary 95% or more. THE PEOPLE being harmed are the ordinary working man and women in America.I have no doubt the Federal Government is corrupt and they have dealt with unions so long they cannot be fired.The Federal Government is ate up with theft and fraud and absolutely corrupt. Trump has his hands full. Most of these employees have family and friends in the media.Honestly I feel the government in D.C. is more dangerous than Putin and his spy agency.Our local governments are as about as corrupt. WAKE UP AMERICA,TRUMP HAS HIS HANDS FULL.
Just remember what the IRS did without any reprucussions.
