News breaking everywhere…and it could be just the tip of the iceberg. From the Washington Post:
BREAKING: Michael Flynn, Trump’s embattled national security adviser, is resigning amid controversy over communication with Russian ambassador.
The acting attorney general informed the Trump White House late last month that she believed Michael Flynn had misled senior administration officials about the nature of his communications with the Russian ambassador to the United States, and warned that the national security adviser was potentially vulnerable to Russian blackmail, current and former U.S. officials said.

But Obama said you can keep your Benghz-E-Mail!!!!!
I saw "the E word" about this story somewhere online this morning, so I knew he'd be gone by nightfall. It never fails: Controversial, Beleaguered, Embattled, GONE!
Ahhh, the end of an era.
snark
Pretty short era.
Too much to hope we can get someone not a nutcase or former Russia Today propagandist as Natiional Security adviser?
The question now is what did Trump know and when did he know it. It seems far fetched that Flynn would call the Russian ambassador out of the blue on the day that sanctions were announced without consulting with his boss about what to say. If it was a Democratic Administration, the investigative committees would already be queued up. Will be interesting to see if Republicans try to sweep this under the rug without a subpoena to Flynn to find out why he made the call and on behalf of whom.
There's been so much furious sweeping already that there's a giant cloud of dust obscuring a body of evidence about the Putin/Russia connection to Trump and his entire team. Much more is known, and much more will come out. The GOP can't sweep it all away. This was only the blatantly obvious tip of the iceberg.
Caught Matt Lauers interview with SmellyAnn this morning. When Matt challenged her on her timeline and how Trump knew all of this 30 days ago she paused, almost as if she intended to say 'alternative facts'. She composed herself and said, 'Matt, that's one person's view of the situation.'.
According to SmellyAnn, Flynn's sin wasn't that he was an obvious security risk and potentially a blackmail subject (he was attending top secret meetings yesterday! He had Trump full confidence yesterday!), it was that he embarrassed Pence and therefore Trump. Sad!

Oops, I missed a step. "Has the full confidence of the President" comes between embattled and GONE.
Rep. Chaffetz: Do Your Job! Do Your Job!
Jason Chaffetz is busy looking for the real paid protesters! Once he finds them, he'll get on this little distraction.
Indeed. To the sharpened point: Did Flynn stab the administration in the back or fall on the sword?
I wonder what a second-string National Security Advisor looks like in the Trump administration.
Maybe some dude named Pladamir Vutin?

Probably better than first-string.
Flynn better hope there's no such thing as 'karma'…or a vengeful, Prosperity Gospel God..
Rep Jason Chaffetz's response to calls to investigate Flynn and what, if anything the White House Klown Krew knew:
Trump will let nothing get in the way of the deal between Exxon/Mobil and Rosneft. Russian financial recovery and future European hegemony depend on this "drill the Arctic, malish, drill the Arctic" plan Putin is driving.
$500,000,000,000 is a lot of money…
Where is Paul Manafort?
He has probably already been paid off or bumped off. Either way he is gone.
