I suspect that Trump et al recognized that the FBI investigation was getting very close, and the infamous splatter of paranoid tweets resulted.

I'm still thinking about Sally Yates. She was fired the day after her two visits to the White House to warn them about Flynn. He, of course, wouldn't be fired for another 18 days. I appreciated her recent public testimony, but recognize that she could not address all the reasons she determined that Flynn was compromised. The administration claimed they fired him because he lied to Pence. It seems highly unlikely the Russians could pressure Flynn by saying they would expose a lie to Pence -- if, indeed, Flynn had actually lied to him. There is, I am sure, a heck of a lot more to it than that.
