Flynnghazi!

Here's a timeline of the Flynnghazi events:

December 29 - Sanctions announced by Obama administration; subsequent Flynn phone call with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak

December 30 - Putin response to sanctions (no retaliation) raises FBI interest; they investigate Kislyak communications, discover Flynn contact; Trump tweets: "Great move on delay (by V. Putin) - I always knew he was very smart!"

January 12 - leaked information prompts David Ignatius (WaPo) column on Flynn call. Citing the Logan Act, Ignatius said: “What did Flynn say, and did it undercut U.S. sanctions?”

January 13 - Spicer says Flynn told him he did not discuss sanctions with Kislyak

January 15 - VP Pence on CBS says there was no mention of sanctions in Flynn's call

January 19 - former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, CIA Director John Brennan, DNI James Clapper, FBI Director James Comey discuss briefing pres-elect Trump, but do not; Comey vetoed it, saying it might jeopardize an FBI investigation

January 20 - Trump inauguration

January 23 - Spicer reiterates in press conference that Flynn did not discuss sanctions with Kislyak; Comey withdraws his veto

January 26 - Yates informs White House counsel Donald McGahn of Flynn concerns; McGahn immediately notifies Trump; White House starts investigation

January 30 - Sally Yates fired over unrelated immigration executive order

February 9 - Pence learns (two weeks after Trump) that Flynn had misinformed (or lied to) him; WaPo breaks the story that despite denials, Flynn had discussed the sanctions in his conversation with Kiselyak

February 13 - Conway says Flynn has president's "full confidence"; minutes later, Spicer says "The president is evaluating the situation"; hours later, Flynn resigns (the story is that he wasn't fired)

February 14 - at press conference, Spicy says Trump asked for Flynn's resignation; says it was strictly an issue of trust, and no laws were broken

*****

What did the president* know, and when did he know it? Trump was informed on January 23 that Flynn had "misinformed" Pence and Spicer about his call with Kiselyak and that he (Flynn) may be vulnerable to Russian blackmail. The White House story (through Spicy, February 14 press conference) is that the president* "lost trust" in Flynn and therefore demanded his resignation. But the decision was not made until more than two weeks after the president* had been informed, and only after WaPo broke the story on February 9.
