@alicewonders

He was canned for a very minor offense at best. As I've said before if this administration is going to fire senior officials for the slightest of reasons to placate the "media" then this administration is functionally finished. I would not work for a boss that did not have my back and expected me to make every call 100% correct.

Trump better get a handle on things and quickly. STOP FALLING FOR FAKE NEWS, START DEFENDING YOUR TOP PEOPLE.

He lied to the VP. That is a "minor offense"?

Ah, come on.  Trump and his administration HAD Flynn's back.  And yes, it was Flynn's responsibility to relay the contents of the conversation fully and honestly.  An "I don't remember" would have better served Flynn than his denial.

It's one thing to allegedly "lie" if that happened, it's another thing, if the one you lied too, Pence in this case, goes on public record recounting what you said as if it was the truth,  that Flynn did not discuss sanctions with the Russians. I think that is more of what we are looking at.

I believe that is how it shakes out, Pence publicly said this as well.

To make matters worse, this is the 3rd person forced to resign from team Trump after Russian ties were revealed. (Manafort, Page, Flynn) I know for a fact that republicans are getting worried.

I don' t know what their options are. IMO unless Trump has concretely broken the law, he's in there for the long haul.

ALL swamp critters are worried!  They are worried that their swamp might actually see some draining and won't stand for that!

Let me see if I can help you with that. 

It's not just one side of the isle that wants to destroy Trump inside the beltway!  They like the swamp just like it is and do not wish it to be drained!

Yeah, I can agree with that.  These are people who tried to sabotage Trump even after the Convention.  A whole lot of us here didn't like him from the get-go (he was pretty close to 17 on my list), but DeeCee swamp-dwellers lost sight of the fact that the worst of the Republican candidates was still better than the best of the Rats.

He did not lie. The entire story is a fabrication. Fake News. But since the left has managed to get two high officials canned by using fake news more heads are going to roll. You and the other NeverTrumpers will probably get your wish and see the administration fail. I hope you will be happy with open borders, no border security, massive Muslim immigration, endless wars, no Obama care repeal, no tax reform, etc etc. Guess you like business as usual huh?

So why is Flynn trying to sabotage Trump? Or maybe Trump is trying to sabotage himself by hiring these kind of people?

Flynn admitted to it. He lied about having discussions with a foreign power about changing US policy toward them before he even got the job. Not only is he in thrall to Putin, but he is willing to lie to his own government to favor a foreign despot.

I am not going to engage in the idiocy of talking to you about anything Trump.

Now the uniparty (D's and R's) is on the "What did the president know and when did he know it"

Democrats demand that Flynn’s resignation spur broader Russia investigation

Democrats hold no levers of power in Washington, but they have pulled out their megaphones to demand that Mr. Flynn’s resignation open the first chapter — not the last — of investigations into contacts between Trump aides and Moscow — during and after Mr. Trump’s campaign for president.

“Nothing about this resignation, or resignations that could occur in the future, precludes the Senate Intelligence Committee from continuing to investigate Gen. Flynn, or any other campaign official who may have had inappropriate and improper contacts with Russian officials prior to the election,” said Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee. “It is clear that our task is more urgent than ever.”

Or, maybe the Dems wish to sabotage an R president?  Or, the establishment types on both sides wish to maintain their power?  Or, both.

That is why I despise NeverTrumpers. They would rather see the in country ruins than see Trump successful. Just so they can say I told you so, NeverTrumpers work hand in hand with the Marxist Globalist Democrats to take down Trump. Well guess who will be running things when they succeed in taking down Trump. Hint it won't be Ted Cruz on that you can bet.
