His personal crusade has always been to expose the mainstream media control over thought...
Wikileaks and DC leaks did far more to further that than anything.

Bannon always concluded collusion and information feeding from government agencies were going back and forth between news agencies, government and corporations to further globalism. It's just obvious, now.

Apparently Trump does not tolerate frick ups.

I have even more respect for him now.

Devin Nunes looks pretty stupid right now

KAC too I guess, although she is just trying to do her job in a chaotic environment I'm sure

I wonder if this means KellyAnne is on the outs?

They sent her out today on TV to defend the first boot of this season of "The Apprentice".

While this board would love to see fairly accomplished pros like Reince and Spicer get canned, I have to imagine those two and KAC aren't exactly loving the positions they're being put in

So, the guy, who has been confirmed tainted for at least a month, if not more, leaves.

And this wasn't even a confirmed through the senate nomination. Straight up hired by DJT. This is on him, and it took too long to happen.

This isn't really a big deal. He messed up and lied, had to be let go

Obviously #fakenews will make a big deal but its not

Priebus is probably next and Trump will find great replacements and then the administration will continue to MAGA

At best it makes the administration look incompetent.

Why? I'm not saying some people shouldn't be held accountable, but who knows? Maybe THE POTUS was alerted, kept an eye on it, discovered what happened, forced Flynn to resign?

Will you say the same thing if Trump orders an investigation tomorrow?

Will you hold Congress accountable for confirming him?

I'm not defending his actions at all.

Nope. There's been a long history in DC of people having the "full confidence and trust" of their boss only to be shown the door hours or days later.

Its not that unusual and isn't a trump thing.

He lied. And he got canned for it. Good.

the NSA is an appointment, there is no confirmation for its position. Trump is who you hold accountable for this.

What law did he break?

If lying is a crime let's just build a cage around DC.

Exactly.

the so called "Fake News" has been going on and on about Russian ties for half a year, and now here's a resignation over Russian ties, with a guy that no other elected officials could apparently vet, except DJT.
