He stepped down because he lied to VP Pence about it.
An intelligence director who lies to his superiors should be fired immediately. Personally, I would have set him on fire instead.
How did they know he lied?
He didn’t step down because of a phone call.

Agree. Flynn probably could have survived the phone call incident, but not lying to the VP. This made him both untrustworthy and disrespectful. He had to go.
That's awesome, gave me my best chuckle of the day so far. And - you happen to be exactly right about Flynn; you lie, you die (or at least get fired)!
There is a certain beauty in the art of concealing the truth because the beholder is free to inject his own version. That usually means we create a version that most closely aligns with our own opinion. Can't be proved or disproved. The fact is we have no clue what even happened or who said what.
What we do know is the NSA, CIA, FBI or someone was recording Flynn's conversation and decide to leak it at least enough to show the President they had the discussion recorded and that is what the topic should be, not what Flynn did. Everything the Trump organization is doing is being monitored, now he knows it.
