Facts matter of course, and government decisions should always be based on evidence and reason ...
Very much agree, though the Trump administration has proven it cares little for facts.
I am trying to understand why President Trump accepted General Flynn's resignation?
By resignation, you mean "was forced out" right? The optics on Russian ties are bad for Trump. No matter how true, or untrue, anything around Russia may be, it plays well as a narrative with Repub voters. Every time it comes up you see the weakly Trump-allied traditional Repubs in congress stab at the Trump administration. They will go where they can win. No real love for Trump there.
Ask yourself why the Republicans are seeking an investigation into Flynn/Russia and why they just shot down Puzder? It's because this is an area Trump is weak and could lose on (when I say lose, I mean the whole thing, the office of the Presidency). That's why they kicked Flynn out. (To you, these would be Republicans aligned more with your #2 above, than your #1 ... of which I find to be bad representations of the choice made in Trump's election.)
Watch for Trump to pull something sensational in the next 2-3 days to try and move the news cycle and take focus off Russia. Very likely it will occur.

Deep state + Neocons/Neolibs (same entities) just cut down Trump publicly.
Hostile intentions towards Iran + Russia are back in play.
Trump was always a stooge, to be played if he were to somehow defeat Hildabeast (more in common with Neocons than most Republicans), and to be undermined shortly after inauguration.
TL;DR = The Old Guard FiatZioBankHawkFinancierRedShield Order has things firmly in control, and will carry on with their plans. Assume the position.
