But Flynn didn't lie. Flynn was doing the bidding of Trump & Bannon and lied to Pence (unless Pence was in on it too)

The left is really dredging the bottom for drama at this point.
Flynn spoke with Russia's ambassador in December, before he was in an official position. A topic of their discussion (sanctions) may or may not have been illegal for a private citizen to conduct. The actual contents of the discussion were not illegal, as FBI agents have leaked to the media (they have a recording of the call).
Flynn (an Obama Democrat), lied to Pence about the topics of the conversation. Trump then asked him to step down.
Even, hypothetically speaking, Flynn was sending a message to Russia that Obama's sanctions would be ended, there is nothing bad in the spirit of that. Obama himself had someone contact Iran in 2008 and told them to not cut a nuclear deal with Bush because he would give a better deal to the people of Iran (which is essentially treason).
