Michael Flynn abruptly resigned as President Donald Trump's national security adviser Monday night, hours after it was learned that the Justice Department informed the White House that it believed he could be subject to blackmail, two senior Trump administration sources told NBC News.

Just damn.
Flynn's status was considered perilous after it was disclosed that he had misled Vice President Mike Pence and other senior officials about his communications with Sergei Kislyak, Russia's ambassador to the United States.
"Unfortunately, because of the fast pace of events, I inadvertently briefed the Vice President Elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian Ambassador. I have sincerely apologized to the President and the Vice President, and they have accepted my apology," Flynn said in his resignation letter.
The senior U.S. official confirmed part of a report in The Washington Post, which quoted current and former U.S. officials Monday as saying Sally Yates, then the acting attorney general, delivered the message that Flynn was considered vulnerable to White House counsel Donald McGahn.
The Post reported that Yates was privy to FBI monitoring showing that Flynn discussed sanctions on Russia with Kislyak — even though Flynn told administration officials that he hadn't. Pence repeated the misinformation in national television appearances.

What Flynn did is not illegal. Lying to VP Pence about it is what got him out. The statement still holds true:
The cover-up is always worse than the original action.
-
He resigned, according to his letter, because he failed to inform Mike Pence fully about his conversations with the Russians.

The Washington Post was the originating source of the Michael Flynn ‘controversy’/’fiasco
All I ever needed to know about this entire Michael Flynn Rubber Tire is abundantly evident in the following CNN paragraph(s):
CNN – The Justice Department warned the Trump administration last month that Michael Flynn misled administration officials regarding his communications with the Russian ambassador to the United States and was potentially vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, a person familiar with the matter told CNN
[…] The message was delivered by then-Acting Attorney General Sally Yates. Other top intelligence officials, including James Clapper and John Brennan, were in agreement the White House should be alerted about the concerns.
Which also explains why The Washington Post was the originating source of the ‘controversy’/’fiasco’. As previously stated numerous times, The Washington Post is the official leak-outlet for the political arm of the CIA. And the most politicized of all agents ever inside the CIA was John Brennan – a black hat extraordinaire.
So, swamp reviewers can begin to see how this Rubber Tire was constructed.

Hillary Clinton Posts Pizzagate Trolling of Mike Flynn Resignation
Kristinn Taylor Feb 14th, 2017 12:21 am 46 Comments
Defeated Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton trolled the Trump administration with a ‘retweet with comment’ of a tweet by her former spokesman Philippe Reines taunting Gen. Mike Flynn (Ret.) over his resignation Monday night as President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor with a reference to Comet Pizza of Pizzagate infamy.
Philippe's got his own way of saying things, but he has a point about the real consequences of fake news… https://t.co/a02sXiaHfp

I liked the guy too. As is always in politics though...

I hate to see Flynn go. Politics is an ugly, hungry beast sometimes. I wish him well in his endeavors.

Flynn did not commit a crime, BUT isn't it a crime to record or listen to American's phone calls and then to leak the content of those calls to the public?
That is where the crime occured. So who is investigating that and why isn't it front page news?

Because the FBI does it routinely to assess national security threats, I would think.

The FBI found nothing constituting a violation of the Logan Act. It's the CIA saying there's a problem. But we'll never see any evidence, if it even exists.

The problem was that Mike Flynn told VP Pence that he had not discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador, when in fact he had. You don't lie to the boss, or his designated representative.
