President Trump responded publicly to the news of the forced resignation of his national security advisor, Michael Flynn, asserting on Tuesday that the “real story” is the number of “illegal leaks” from U.S. government officials.
Trump made the claim in an early-morning tweet.

“kill the chicken to scare the monkey”
I once had 200 layer hens on my farm and they would not lay eggs. I had raised them from chicks and they should have been laying. The feed was correct and I used lights at night to make sure the daylight was sufficient for laying.
I finally decided to chop the heads of two of the chickens for soup. I butchered them on a stump with an ax to chop of heads and feet right outside the chicken house. The next day they all started laying. I’m sure it was coincidence was it was very funny at the time.
LOL!
FR consensus looked to me that Flynn was out because he lied, not because of what he did.
Lied about what exactly? That he talked to the Russians? He was talking to the Russians before Trump and Pence were elected.
This is a political witch hunt, and the socialist-democrats scored a hit.
Now is the time for President Trump to crack down on these leaks, and start weeding out the leftist obama holdouts and sympathizers.
Wholesale shitcanning of government intelligence and executive branch employees is in order.
They serve at the leisure of the President, and if he says that they go, they. are. gone.
What exactly seems to be the problem. Here is a report by Krauthammer about the complexities: http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/02/16/krauthammer-trump-russia-flynn-story-why-lie-vice-president-pence
Key quotes from article: “the key question from the story involving former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and the Russian ambassador is why the retired general failed to tell Vice President Pence the truth about their discussion.” and “Reports said Flynn was not truthful about the conversation when discussing it with Pence, who went on news programs with the faulty information he was told.”
So the key seems to be that Flynn failed to give Pence correct information which then caused Pence embarrassment.
