Because he was following Trumps orders. They got caught, and Flynn was thrown under the bus. He didn't just resign, Trump told him to resign.

Now he is out there with all kinds of top secret information, and has already proven he is willing to talk to the enemies.

What's next, is how much the others in the Administration knew and how long they've known it. Just a short time ago, Pence was saying in an interview that Flynn had never had any contact with the Russians about the Obama sanctions and knew this for a fact, because Flynn had told him so. If others, including him, were informed about all this a month ago, none of the statements they made about Flynn's lack of involvement, were true and they would have known it.

They will move as swiftly as sloths.

I really wonder if Pence knew about this or whether it was just a dirty little secret between Trump and Flynn. I sort of hope Pence didn't know because I kind of like him. Even though I'm mostly liberal, I could stand Pence and feel more confident in his ability to run the country. Trump is a lumbering, ignorant, despicable, pudgy disaster.

Because the call was Trump's idea. Cold busted by Pence. Trump had to choose between losing Flynn or Pence.
