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.

If he did it to stop the media feeding frenzy, he did it in vain then. Because it will not stop the media feeding frenzy, it will only increase it. Nothing that Donald can do, short of killing himself will satisfy the media. Their goal is to destroy the United States of America and usher in the One World Government. If they must to accomplish this import every diseased and healthy muslim into the United States of America, so be it. They will also eliminate every visage of Patriotism and Nationalism in the United States of America. We are in a fight for our lives and they are winning. Both Donald and Patriots are going to have to recognize the main stream media for what they are: The number one threat to the security and well being of the United States of America today. Since the media and the voters installed the muslim impostor in the White House, Themedia has done more damage to the United States than all foreign enemy Nations combined.

We ARE in a fight for our lives, but I don't know if they're winning.

They will use this, of course.

We shouldn't encourage them by allowing them to savage people like Flynn like the pack of rabid dogs that they are.

I'm going to chalk this one up as a one-off, for now. We don't need to keep this trending.

It's really interesting that people on our side are literally telling the #FakeStreamMedia to Talk To The Hand.

I'm beginning to be convinced that we might not get out of this without bloodshed. I'm also convinced that some of the less patient of the crazed Lefties are plotting sedition and coup.

Senator Ted Kennedy asked the KGB to help the DNC defeat Reagan.

Flynn’s not the first democart to work with the Russians.

Could be the first person who was out the door in two administrations. I don’t know why Trump thought Flynn a Democratic register was a good pick.

the only feeding frenzy I see right now is happening in this thread.

No doubt. Freepers have ALWAYS been ones for maximum doom-and-glooming.

However, over on Twitter, I imagine the howling pack of Lefties is being driven even more rabid by the taste of Flynn's blood. This isn't a good thing, but I always like to wait for the pot to simmer more to taste the stew.

Our Bomb-Thrower-In-Chief needs to do his Maximum Grenadier thing just about now. 😀

Wonder how many demo this will bite. We have had actors, Senate members and members of the house sticking their noses into international affairs as long as I can remember.

Here we go. Trumps support will plummet along with his political clout. Now those mushy middle voters will believe Trump stole the election with help from the Russians and want him impeached. Even worse I am going to really hear it from stupid Liberal family members.

Oh well. This is such a Godless nation we deserve the corrupt regimes of the Democrats and the GOPe and the economic pain that comes from it. God gave this nation a reprieve in November 2016 and we aren’t going to take advantage of it.

It's good, of course - whether I agree with dowcaet or not [I do], dowcaet has been around for a while & is recognizable to me.

The name reminds me of Gaelic or Welsh.

Now you - you're my old comrade from the police brutality/Oregon standoff assassination threads, and before.

Hard to forget. 😀

They were in office. Flynn was calling as a civilian with zero job except maybe on the transition team but still.....and doing it without the Boss’ knowledge. Stinks to high heaven.

Glad it happened now, 25 days into the new administration. I hope this will put others on notice that truth and operating in the light matters now. Unfortunately Flynn gave the president's opponents ammunition. He can be restored and used in a different capacity in protecting America.

Apparently these are not just words : "All of this can be done. And we will do so with unwavering integrity, renewed strength and unapologetic resolve. Knowing ourselves and our enemy will ensure victory."

...Yes, we can defeat terrorism

He lost his job because of Pence. He gave Pence half information.

“Denial is fun!”

Totally agree. This is bad becuase now the left has their narritive that they will use to sway public opinion against Trump and convince the stupid average American that this is proof Trump had the inside with the Russians.

I won’t be the least bit surprised if Trunp is down to 15% approval and is driven from office. The left is a powerful and nasty bunch and they always succeed.

I am supremely confident that there are still a few steps left bwtween a relatively minor member of the administration resigning and impeachment.

Pence had the opportunity to take Trump out before the election during the failed republican coup and he didn’t.
