This is what I think really happened:
Flynn did nothing wrong in his conversations with the ambassadors. He did probably give them a heads up that sanctions were being discussed seriously. In the news, but everything is serious to the media if it is other than the liberals. Flynn gave the VP plausible deniability regarding the sanctions question. Up to this point, a pretty standard operating procedure. But that is not how President Trump roles. President Trump wants the straight up truth from his team. So partially Flynn was an example, but also it was strategic move to counter the democrats. They have put a huge amount of effort into the plan to take Flynn down. They started when Pres. Trump became the Pres. Elect or even sooner. He had been a huge thorn in the dems side and was going to spill the beans on the secret Iran side deals. By having Flynn resign, that work all goes for naught. That is why they are still flailing about going after him even though he is out. Flynn isn’t going away. He will likely be back as a contractor in a quiet position.

Obama did nothing with Iran without the full support of a Republican Congress. There are more than just 'democrats' that need the Iran deals covered -up.

And that there will be the payback to those who got Flynn out - his replacement will expose the whole deal, secrets and all - then the public will turn against them and the deal itself. In a perfect world, even Obama himself but the media will make sure that doesnt happen.

The Democrats put almost no effort into getting this guy’s scalp. It was as easy as pie.
