Quote:did was perfectly fine?   That doesn't add up.  

 

You said,

 

What Flynn did was neither illegal nor unethical.


If that is true, why did he lie to Pence? 

If he didn't lie to Pence, if it was just a mistake, why did he get fired?  

 

 

Pence made a public statement that Flynn did not have contact with the Russian ambassador. That was based on what Flynn told him. Whether it was a mistake or a lie by Flynn, 
Pence was hung out  to dry and that made it unforgivable. Flynn resigned, and rightfully so.

 

The fact that Flynn's conversation with the Russian ambassador was not illegal weighs towards the "mistake" explanation, but some people will lie even when they have done nothing wrong. So who knows? Flynn is out, the price has been paid. And Flynn's conversation was reported by someone inside government intelligence, which is both illegal and a serious leak of intelligence data. That should be the sole topic of investigation in this case.
