Well, he kinda did it to himself. It’s too bad, though.

Anybody who won’t bow down to the media will be weeded out.

I’m glad to see him go. He missed it on Iran - it was not the time to “put Iran on notice”.

Out like Flynn, huh.

Well it goes to show that the Trump folks do care about genuine integrity issues.

Yes, he did do it to himself. Tough luck, Flynn, You gotta go. It isn't about you, after all.

I don’t quite get what just happened
but i’d be willing to bet this step wasn’t necessary.
Why does our side have to be so quick to fold?

Those who can’t stand the heat will have to get out of the kitchen. And Trump is a master chef who has called for some scorchers.

I smell a rat in all this. The media and the left now has its Russia conspiracy narrative at full blast now and will be hanging it around the administration’s neck. I’m so sick of this. The media that didn’t do sh*t for eight years is going all out 24/7 to try and wreck this presidency.

They're selective about what they know and don't know.

When it comes to Hillary, they don't know nothin'.

He quit this one, but Donald gets to name the successor... the media doesn’t.

He could be back on something else, for all we know.

Nondisclosure in this toxic environment is unforgivable. He made his superiors look bad, for no good reason. Fail and out. Jerk just couldn't cut the mustard.

I always told my guys “I will defend you to the bitter end, including getting fired along with you if necessary, JUST DON’T EVER LIE TO ME”.
