GTFOH.

The lying to Pence was what got him canned. Not the call itself.
You cannot have your National Security Advisor lying to you. That's unforgivable.

I think this article needs clarification.
What the article suggests, from this intelligence officer, is that there is not evidence to prosecute him criminally but there may still be some illegal actions having taken place.That there is no evidence this was directed from higher-ups. That no specific promises were made but sanctions were discussed. And that Flynn was not aware this could be seen as wrong.
So in conclusion, this suggests the possibility of illegal actions may have taken place, but maybe not, that there is currently no evidence linking to Trump and that Flynn is probably a bit reckless and incompetent for these actions. For not knowing this would be considered as borderline illegal behavior.
Sounds like if you are a Trump supporter, Trump dodged a bullet by getting this guy out sooner then later. Politically though, this still won't look good since there were obvious signs this guy was not fit for this job in the first place.

A current U.S. intelligence official tells NPR's Mary Louise Kelly that there is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing in the transcripts of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn's conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, although the official noted that doesn't rule out the possibility of illegal actions.
quote:
The intelligence official who has personally seen the transcripts told Mary Louise they contained "no evidence" of criminal wrongdoing, although the official said it can't be definitively ruled out.
The official also said there was "absolutely nothing" in the transcripts that suggests Flynn was acting under instructions "or that the trail leads higher."
"I don't think [Flynn] knew he was doing anything wrong," the official said. "Flynn talked about sanctions, but no specific promises were made. Flynn was speaking more in general 'maybe we'll take a look at this going forward' terms."

The guy prevented russian retaliation against Obama pettiness before he had even officially been on the job. Sounds like he was perfect for the job

No shite. This is their strategy. They will attack everyone around Trump and circle like buzzards until they get something on Trump directly. Will they succeed in taking down Trump? Probably not, but they have to try.

If this could be proven, Flynn would probably be in a lot more trouble.
I think his saving grace right now is that the transcripts and investigation is not showing sound evidence that he offered a specific quid pro quo or promise. So it can not be determined more conclusively that the Russian's pivot of not expelling American ambassadors in retaliation was his influence.

NSA is going to have to say if they were monitoring Flynn illegally or the Russian Ambassador?

Hes a pacifist. Hes used words not bullets to avoid a crisis. Democrats in their blood lust wanted the war machine to spring to life. Flynn destroyed those plans so they took him out
Heres to flynn a great American

He was when he lied.
That article seems to suggest that he could be charged with crimes despite no evidence of crimes. Sounds kind of fricked up, but I guess we'll see.
My bet is he did nothing illegal and this will end up being a dud other than the bad optics of firing a guy one month on the job.

They were monitoring the ambassador. These two facts have been consistent throughout the whole story.

And this guy is going to clean it up
