Michael Flynn Resigns As Trump's National Security Adviser (go.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from ABC News: President Donald Trump's embattled national security adviser Michael Flynn, who faced questions about a call to the Russian ambassador prior to the inauguration, has resigned. Retired Army General Keith Kellogg was named acting national security adviser to replace Flynn. ABC News reported Monday that Flynn called Vice President Mike Pence on Friday to apologize for misleading him about his conversation with the ambassador in November. Flynn previously denied that he spoke about sanctions the U.S. imposed on Russia for its suspected interference in the 2016 election, a claim repeated by Pence in January. An administration official later claimed Pence was relying on information provided to him by Flynn. In his resignation later, Flynn cited the "fast pace of events" for "inadvertently" briefing "the Vice President Elect and others with incomplete information regarding [his] phone calls with the Russian Ambassador." You can view Flynn's full resignation letter, as provided by the White House, here.
Sally Yates at the DOJ successfully blackmailed the POTUS and leaked information to press. Sally Yates somehow knew instantly about the call and was running to Trump that Flynn could be blackmailed, based on Sally Yates leaked press reports. The DOJ had no issues of Hillary Clinton foundation connections, said Hillary didn't do anything wrong and never even hinted that Hillary could be blackmailed.
All of it for telling a lie.
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, ".
Don't recall Clinton resigning over that, and yes Bill could have been blackmailed for that.
