[FONT="]Why? Why was there an 18-day gap between the urgent warning from an acting attorney general that the person occupying the most sensitive national security post at the White House might be compromised by a hostile foreign power, and the day that person was finally shown the door?[/FONT]
[FONT="]This is the question that leapt out to reporters just as soon as we learned in February that acting Attorney General Sally Yates briefed White House counsel Don McGahn on Jan. 26 about the hazard Michael Flynn posed to America's national security. Yet Flynn wasn’t forced out until Feb. 13. [/FONT]
[FONT="]One theory that would explain such a gap is that Trump not only knew Flynn lied to the FBI on Jan. 24 about his contacts with Russia, but perhaps directed him to do it.
Remember the FBI caught Flynn on a wire tap. They all were wire tapped.
Trump is the only one Flynn would listen to, if told to lie about Russia. Would Flynn take orders from Jared, Don Jr. Pence is in up to his eyes.[/FONT]

Mueller is trying to determine why Flynn remained in his post for 18 days after Trump learned of Yates' warning, according to two people familiar with the probe. He appears to be interested in whether Trump directed him to lie to senior officials, including Pence, or the FBI, and if so why, the sources said.
