The problem is that now he's aware that there's holes in the blanket
Everyone is going to be watching everyone and now the leaks will slow down, giving this fukktard time to implement damage control.
So far it seems like everything that has played out has been systematically planned by the IC.
Flynn's forced ousting legitimized the topic of this administrations ties with Russia which were first introduced as a fly-by-night dossier that many had questioned the validity of. Constant critiques of it's timing and sources from the media and general public aided in the administration hanging themselves with public denials. While behind the scenes the forced damage control inevitably exposed and confirmed whatever is left to come. And from the tone of various journalist, what's to come is serious and seems like quite a few of them have gotten a peak because the confidence and brashness of their criticism of this administration - outside of the obvious - is telling.
I say all that to say, their internal damage control is whats killing them softly.
