Was it of a sexual nature? Was he a jerk around the office? Was it financial? Was he passing info to Putin?
Since it's classified/under investigation, we're not going to find out for a while. But that shouldn't stop us from speculating.
I think that Flynn was working with Putin to undermine societies and elections in the US and around the world. He may have been motivated by being cut loose by the Obama Administration and wanted revenge.
I would love to hear what my fellow DUers think.

Sally Yates can't talk about it in the hearings but she has discussed it behind closed doors.
The Senators have heard the real "classified" info behind closed doors.
If there's ever a Grand Jury or an impeachment trial, it will probably be unclassified. (that's my guess)
What a creep - Lock him up - After he testifies against Trump!

(115,674 posts)in the DIA, but during his military career he was generally well-regarded. It's possible he went to the dark side in retaliation for having been fired and as a big ol' fuck you to Obama ("You fired me from DIA but now I'm the National Security Adviser, ha ha!" . I'm thinking of Robert Hanssen, the FBI agent who passed classified information to The Russians for years before he was caught; one reason he did it was as a big ol' fuck you to his FBI bosses, who he didn't think respected him enough. And it was also for the money. Obviously Flynn's finances will have to be looked at. And why did Trump try so hard to protect him?

It's also possible that Trump told Flynn that Obama had advised against hiring him and that may have angered Flynn even more.

I think Steele knew about Flynn before he knew the guy was connected to Trump.
