Greenwald thinks Flynn was ousted for lying.

2. He's right about the lying

""[Sally] Yates, then the deputy attorney general, considered Flynn’s comments in the intercepted call to be “highly significant” and “potentially illegal,” according to an official familiar with her thinking.""

"Yates—the acting attorney general who was fired after refusing to defend Trump’s Muslim ban in court, believing (correctly) that it was illegal—and a national security official eventually informed White House counsel Donald McGahn of the FBI’s findings in late January. The White House, though, seemingly did nothing about it until media pressure became overwhelming and Flynn’s position became untenable. In other words, Flynn wasn’t fired for possibly having broken the law and/or lying, but because the media found out he’d possibly broken the law and/or lied."

Looks like they are floating Petraeus as a replacement.

According to Brad Heath, investigating journalist for USA Today..."If Gen. Petraeus is selected as the new national security adviser, he will have to notify his probation officer within 72 hours."
