But they needed a "political" reason to fire Flynn, other than "he lied to the FBI". So they created the story that he lied to the Vice-President. That itself was a lie.

Why did the Republicans appoint a "Special Counsel" to investigate it? The evidence must have seemed pretty strong to them?

Indeed, their endeavor all along has been to protect Trump.
