This is a shame, Flynn is a great American, taken down by the globalists. Flynn fell on the sword for the sake of the USA, I applaud him.

Actually I think he was thrown under the bus because he lied to VP Pence and that embarrassed the entire WH.
Leading members of the US Republican Party have joined calls for a wide investigation into the former national security adviser's links with Russia. Michael Flynn quit on Monday over claims he discussed US sanctions with Russia before Donald Trump took office.
On Tuesday, a White House spokesman said Mr Trump knew weeks ago there were problems with the Russia phone calls. But calls for an independent investigation have encountered a cold reaction from some senior Republicans.
The development came as the New York Times reported that phone records and intercepted calls show members of Mr Trump's presidential campaign, as well as other Trump associates, "had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election".

Alex Jones is a shill for Trump.
In reality, Flynn’s conversation with Kislyak was merely the excuse that establishment neo-cons and neo-libs from both parties were desperately searching for.
Flynn’s conversation was about lifting sanctions , shifting the blame is the Donald's territory.
The real story here is why are there so many illegal leaks coming out of Washington? Will these leaks be happening as I deal on N.Korea etc?
twitter.com...
The real story here is he lied to the VP and the administrations closeness to the Russian government ,but ...look over there !
The fact that now the whole world knows that american intelligence agencies are monitoring calls of foreign diplomats, is in itself a damage to national security.

Flynn screwed up. He deserved to be fired. End of story.
Agreed, and being the NSA he should have known someone was listening in, he's supposed to be the SME in this area...
I'm sure the left will throw out Flynngate or Flynnghqzi memes very soon.
Flynn had previously been director of the Defense Intelligence Agency during the Obama administration.
In that role since 2012, he was a key player in the leadership of the sprawling $50-billion US intelligence apparatus that has increasingly been spying not just on Americans but on US allies and, to the extent possible, on the entire world.
Flynn, as DIA director, was the top guy in charge of the so-called “Five Eyes” group of intelligence agencies– all English-speaking nations including the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada — which has coordinated spying on citizens of those nations as well as on the citizens and leaders of such supposed NATO allies as Germany, France, Italy, Spain etc.
Knowing all this, it’s simply astounding to learn that Flynn himself was using apparently unencrypted email, phones and texting to communicate with, of all people, the Russian Ambassador to the US, discussing such issues as potentially lifting sanctions imposed on Russia by the sitting president of the United States, Barack Obama.
