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.

"We know that Monica Lewinski was beneath the desk in the Oval Office while President Billy Jefferson Clinton was speaking to foreign leaders.... We have got to learn to shrug things off."

Traitorclinton's behavior is not the level of integrity that is the standard for the White House.

Traitorclinton's standard is that of a diseased whorehouse.

CNN says SALLY YATES was behind ALL of this...leaking the FBI info about Flynn to the Post, and contacting the White House counsel.

If the info was classified, she should be in jail....if it wasn't, it should be released to the public so they can decide for themselves.

President Trump should appoint a replacement for Flynn who wears an I Love Russia shirt.

I don’t see why he resigned.

An advisor cannot lie to his/her bosses and expect to keep the job.

Flynn lied to the VP about it; not a good move. His departure is best to avoid the further distraction.

Flynn’s resignation has one effect—it confirms for us that the Trump Administration cares about integrity.

Absolutely this. I haven't seen this much pearl clutching since Scarlet in Gone With the Wind. Nor have I seen so much willingness to throw in the towel. Geez.

This is too bad. Blood in the water. They will take this as encouragement. Flynn was very outspoken against Obama policies. I think the traitors were more afraid of him than anyone.

The bad actors are going to try to set Trump up in a similar manner. The news media has taken down an important advisor.

Justice Dept: Flynn “Could be subject to blackmail.”

As if Bubba and all the honey traps he's been in would not have been had Hitlery been elected.

Did they just flush out the leak source? Sally Yates should be in prison.

You’re wrong. If Trump accepts his resignation and keeps Russian sanctions then I’m convinced he is not in control of the government. Period

The interim National Security Advisor will be Keith Kellogg replacing Flynn.

Screw the media. If it wasn’t this they’d make something else up. The people don’t trust them.

Unfortunately, the transparency of circumstances looked bad from early on and fairly easy to understand.

Were sanctions with Russia discussed before Trump was inaugurated.

Are you new? This will be the distraction and Trump won’t be able to change his foreign policy. He should 100% not accept this resignation! He is at risk of completely losing control of the government. It should be obvious. They won’t let him decide foreign policy. Open your eyes!

I know the hypocrisy just makes us all sick. I don’t what General Flynn said to the Russian ambassador, but this was a made for order conspiracy for the media. It’ll be all over the airwaves tomorrow and the Trump is controlled by Moscow narrative will be nonstop. The president has his work cut out for him. The media, the Democrats and a good many Republicans want their DC kingdom back and will do everything to destroy both Trump and Pence. Count on it!
