The whole scenario was absurd and you guys would be outraged if the FBI attacked Obama's senior staff in the same way for doing perfectly normal things during the Transition.
You can argue it's no big deal all you want, but Mike Flynn then lied to investigators about it. Clearly he thought it was a big enough deal that he should cover it up and further his risk exposure.

LOL
"On May 8, I learned that President Trump intended to remove Director Comey and sought my advice and input." - Rod Rosenstein.
And more importantly -
Trump said on TV that he fired Comey over the Russia investigation!!!!

Again, Trump openly admitted on national TV that he fired Comey over the Russia investigation.

FBI directors are appointed to 10 year terms, and Comey's firing was the second time in history that an FBI director has been fired.
