Retired Gen. Michael Flynn is no longer the National Security Adviser for Donald Trump. After Flynn resigned on Thursday night, filmmaker Michael Moore had more than a few things to say.
Moore on "Team Trump"
The news came Thursday night, and Michael Flynn had officially resigned from his position as National Security Adviser. In recent days, Flynn had dominated the news cycle, as an increasing number of reports appeared to confirm that he illegally spoke with Russian officials in an attempt to reach a deal where previously enacted sanctions on the Kremlin that would be lifted.
Trouble started brewing inside the White House, as follow-up reports claimed the general was not being honest with members of the administration, including Vice President Michael Pence. As seen on his Twitter account on February 14, Michael Moore unloaded on both Flynn and Donald Trump.
He's only first to go. One by one they will drop until the so-called president is told "you're fired." Up next, Miller & Bannon.

"He's only first to go. One by one they will drop until the so-called president is told 'you're fired,'" Michael Moore wrote on Twitter early Tuesday morning, before adding, "Up next, Miller & Bannon." "Now that Flynn is gone, he can rejoin his son in pedaling the story that Hillary was running a pedophile ring out of Comet Pizza," Moore noted, while using the hashtag "#security."

Let's be VERY clear: Flynn DID NOT make that Russian call on his own. He was INSTRUCTED to do so.He was TOLD to reassure them. Arrest Trump.

"TRUMP KNEW EVERYTHING," the filmmaker went on to post on social media, before adding, "It will all come out.
Along with the rest of Trump's collusion & obedience to Putin. #IMPEACH." Moore then cited reports from The New York Times and The Washington Post to back-up his call for possible impeachment or arrest.

As of press time, the president hasn't made any official comments on the issue at hand.
