In the Flynn case the saw is the cover-up is worse than the action and that's great for media intent on not allowing Trumps presidency to succeed. There is nothing I have seen that said there was any topics spoken of that harmed US interests. At the worst, that I can tell, is a discussion of sanctions that were being imposed at the time. Is it much different then a sitting president telling a top Russian advisor off mike that he will have more leeway after the upcoming election?
I dunno. For me its about an establishment that is clawing and scraping and pulling evil(imo) machinations to keep its power in play when a new administration Is coming in to town and purposefully turning over the apple cart.

For me it absolutely crosses party lines. Just like Obama did with Chelsea Manning and Snowden, I fully disagree with. He basically attacked whistleblowers, which is contrary to the message they were putting out at the time. If the gov't is doing shady shit, they need to be called out for it. Letting it go unchecked just lets them know they can keep pushing the line all they want, which is unacceptable.
As for Flynn, it's not so much what they were talking about as it is the fact that he lied to Pence and/or the rest of the administration. Pence goes out and puts out a message based on the information he received from his trusted advisers. When your adviser is lying to you you end up looking like a fool. They had no choice but to dump him.
