Vice President Mike Pence said he would be “happy” to see President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser Michael Flynn back in the administration years after Trump fired him for lying about his contacts with Russia.

Then why did you lie about him lying to you?

I think Flynn did not remember the conversation verbatim.
The “difference” in what Pence said on the Sunday Show and what the FBI/DOJ said Flynn said on the phone call and in his meeting with investigators was probably created by the FBI/DOJ.
They leaked repeatedly to the media and created a crap storm. We know now based on the transcript from Sally Yates that FBI/DOJ went to the White House and said Pence and Flynn were saying different things.
New administration and if I recall correctly this was the first of many leaked controversies created in the media. The White House believed the FBI/DOJ over Flynn. We don’t know the whole story of this, but there is no doubt in my mind that they engineered it.
They got him fired. Just like they said they wanted to do. The White House likely did not suspect at that point that the FBI/DOJ would lie to them or undermine them like this.
This is my best guess....
