So let’s see if I’ve got this right. The President asks for the FBI director’s loyalty. Then he asks the FBI director to stop investigating Flynn. When he refuses, Trump fires him.
The administration’s stated reason is the assistant AG’s report that pointed to flaws in the Hillary investigation. Then the assistant AG takes umbrage, and indicates that he didn’t cause Flynn to be fired. Then Trump says no, it was me all along, and cites unhappiness with the Russia investigation.
