Today's news proves reasons given for Flynn's firing were fraudulent/coverup

Remember Flynn was allegedly fired for lying to Pence and other WH officials about his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/13/us/politics/donald-trump-national-security-adviser-michael-flynn.html

However, today we learn Flynn only talked to Russian ambassador at Trump, Kushner's direction. They knew he did. So how could Flynn have kept something from them that they directed him to do.

Open question whether can prove Pence knew Flynn did for purposes of coverup, mostly irrelevant.

... manager at the Piggly Wiggly, and the lube and tire guy at my mechanic’s shop. I don’t think there was anyone else. DeWayne wanted to believe it, but he finally shook his head and said “hell naw”.
