Gen. Flynn had to resign. He was National Security Adviser. He has been with Trump longer than any of the other names around Trump. This throws the Administration into some disarray and leaves Trump without someone he trusted for advice - although Flynn might continue to give Trump advice from the shadows. A transcript of the call to the Russians in question exists and that seems to have been Flynn's undoing. At this point, the transcript will remain secret, but what was discussed, generally, is not. There is obviously much more to this story to come out. I don't think Flynn jumped. He was pushed and it is my guess not pushed by Trump, so it will be interesting to know who pushed him out. He is replaced by Kellogg as acting NSA. Ideologically and politically Flynn was close to Bannon. He was accused of breaking the Logan Act. :

I wonder if this played some part in Yates being fired. The truth here as well as the raw power politics of L'affair Flynn is complex and will play on for a long time. Flynn was the initiator or a facilitator of the Pizzagate invention, and I wonder if this is in part payback - though I'd think his general plans and politics would be more important.
My early thoughts are that someone or group within some intelligence agency pushed Flynn out by being able to document what was said in those talks he had with people in Russia. I don't think they really were concerned with the Logan act per se - this was the first blow to Trumpf from whatever group in US Intelligence is against him. It won't be the last! This will not be a stable Administration I believe...and can't say I am upset by that...however, an unstable personality heading an unstable Administration could be a dangerous brew.....

- The resignation came late at night, at around 11pm Washington DC, after further news reports revealed that the White House had been warned last month by then acting attorney general Sally Yates before she was fired for advising justice department lawyers that the travel ban was "not lawful" that Flynn was vulnerable to blackmail.
