Listen, I know you Trumpovites find it comforting to tell yourselves that Flynn was fired for lying to the VP and that was the reason the President called for Flynn's resignation, but sadly that was not the reason, and deep down you know it.
They have known about the lie for more than two weeks. If the lie had bothered them they could have orchestrated a much more graceful departure and it could have happened a week and a half ago.
But, lets look at what happened yesterday that turned the tide for Flynn.... It was leaked to the NYT that The United States Justice Department had warned the White House two weeks ago that Flynn is a blackmail risk and that the Russians could be using undue influence on him to affect national security.
So the White House knew Flynn lied to the VP three weeks ago.
The White House knew Flynn was a blackmail risk two weeks ago.
They only let him go once the blackmail information was leaked to the NYT!
THAT IS TROUBLING! They did not care that he lied to the VP, they did not care that he was a Blackmail risk, they did not even care that the people knew he lied to the VP, they only cared that the people knew he was a blackmail risk.
