Anyone who believes that the media or leakers is the problem is missing the point.
If Flynn had done nothing wrong, he wouldn't have been asked (or volunteered) to resign after only three weeks of service.
Plus, as is becoming usual, the messages from the administration are all over the map and contradictory. Kellyanne Conway said that President Trump had full confidence in Flynn when the shit started hitting the fan. Hours later, Flynn was out and Sean Spicer told the media that it was an erosion of trust that did Flynn in, specifically the fact that Flynn misled the Vice President who'd vouched for him publicly based on misinformation.
Now, Trump is blaming leaks and the "fake media" for problems with his staff/administration and claiming Flynn was treated unfairly. That makes no sense, unless Trump's implying that he would have found it perfectly acceptable for Flynn to mislead the American people and the Vice President so long as he hadn't gotten caught (which is not exactly confidence-inspiring).
