Less than an hour after reporting Monday night that the situation surrounding U.S. National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was “fluid,” CNN quoted two sources as saying that Flynn had resigned from the post.
A rough couple of days for Flynn ends in his resignation. Gen. Kellogg will act as Trump's national security adviser in the interim. https://t.co/DKqRhLdvyd

Good on @WhiteHouse
If you cannot trust your National Security guy act swiftly. Flynn resignation in & accepted, Kellogg in for now.— SalenaZito (@SalenaZito) February 14, 2017

Flynn had talks in the last few days with Israeli officials to prepare the Netanyahu-Trump meeting. This has now gone down the drain

As horrible as it is to say, the resignation looks like another win for the Democrats, with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi demanding earlier in the day that Flynn be fired.
It’s time for @POTUS to break out his old catch-phrase. #FireFlynn pic.twitter.com/xHTKBvEfI0

I want to be very clear: President Trump must fire National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. #FireFlynn https://t.co/iHZH1Pfkcz
— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) February 13, 2017
There's no excuse for letting an international crisis play out in front of a bunch of country club members like dinner theater. #FireFlynn
— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) February 13, 2017
Ouch.
Even worse? General Flynn lied to the American people about whether his conversations with the Russian Ambassador ever happened. #FireFlynn
— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) February 13, 2017
Michael Flynn has proven he cannot be trusted to serve America’s best interests and national security instead of Russia’s. #FireFlynn
— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) February 13, 2017
These are not the actions of a man who can be trusted with the security of our nation. General Flynn must go. #FireFlynn

CNN reporting Michael Flynn has resigned. Kellyanne Conway earlier said Trump had "full confidence" in him.

Chances of this story blowing over tonight or even tomorrow? Nonexistent.
.@CNN reporting Flynn resigns. But after Post story tonight, he leaves a lot of thorny questions for admin in his wake.
— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) February 14, 2017
Question dangling out there: Is it even remotely possible that Flynn took these actions re Russia without consulting *anyone*?
— Ellen Barry (@EllenBarryNYT) February 14, 2017
Resignation doesn't answer what did trump know and when…
— Eddie Vale (@evale72) February 14, 2017
Isn't it possible that Trump told Flynn to talk to the Russian ambassador about sanctions and knew Flynn lied to Pence?
— Ryan Lizza (@RyanLizza) February 13, 2017
Now we need to know what did Trump know about Flynn's links with Russia & when did he know it? Also what exactly are Trump's ties to Russia? https://t.co/xWBgXn5YJC
— Steven Greenhouse (@greenhousenyt) February 14, 2017
After Flynn resignation, interesting to see if Kremlin continues to deny there were conversations about sanctions before Trump took office.
— Steve Rosenberg (@BBCSteveR) February 14, 2017
While it's great that Flynn resigned, still plenty we don't know about Trump & Flynn's relationship & communication with Russia

Media has their first legitimate scandal since Inauguration Day so 100% they blow this of course.
