National Security Council vacuum sparks crisis fears

Did ex-national security advisor Flynn bamboozle Trump’s vetting machine by lying (which would, of course, represent “unpresidented” levels of irony)? Or is this too yet another lie from the Habitual-Liar-in-Chief? (Edit: the implication being that Trump was fine with Flynn talking sanctions, but was upset by Flynn’s inability to adequately cover his own lies.)

I’d encourage conservatives to really ponder this one…well, I would if I thought them capable.
