Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Tuesday that Michael Flynn’s resignation as national security adviser highlights “dysfunction” in President Trump’s White House and raises fresh questions about the commander in chief’s relations with Russia.
McCain, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, praised Flynn’s “invaluable contributions in the fight against terrorism” in a written statement released hours after the retired Army lieutenant general resigned.
“At the same time, General Flynn’s resignation is a troubling indication of the dysfunction of the current national security apparatus,” the Arizona Republican said.
“General Flynn’s resignation also raises further questions about the Trump administration’s intentions toward Vladimir Putin’s Russia, including statements by the president suggesting moral equivalence between the United States and Russia despite its invasion of Ukraine, annexation of Crimea, threats to our NATO allies, and attempted interference in American elections,” McCain said.
The senator has been a vocal critic of Trump’s relatively soft line on Russia, as well as his campaign-trail statements in favor of resuming the use of interrogation tactics that fit international definitions of torture. Doing so would violate U.S. law, and the president has suggested that he would defer to Defense Secretary James Mattis, who opposes such methods.

McShamey needs to STFU
McCain is not qualities criticize. He failed his interview for the job.
...says Flynn resignation shows ‘dysfunction’ at the White House
Even the usual suspects. They are not even hiding it any more.
Qualified to...
Well the RINO’s seem to be in full throat right now. They are Democrat collaborators in my book.
yep.
as if getting rid of people not able to stand the blistering heat is a bad thing. just because Obama was allowed to keep all kinds of unethical people with conflicts doesn’t mean Trump is going to do that.
Today’s coordinated RINO attack.
Useless garbage all.
That man is such an ass! He has NO integrity! None!
If he really felt that Russia was such a problem, he’d work with the president, get closer to him so that he could be a trusted adviser.
Not take it to the press.
Dear McCain,
You’re a bitch.
Regards
Trump did what McCain can’t do, WIN!!!
I say it’s absolutely clear that Trump should make John McCain the National Security Advisor, replace him in the Senate and then fire him! Come on, Primary Trump would do it!
John McCain is the prime example of dysfunction - one that I’d liken to a bag full of crazy shithouse rats.
What a tired, sick old man.
Pathetic.
Not McCain! You Arizonans who keep electing him.
DJT won. You lost. Get over it.
I am quite sure McCain was involved in the coordination of this wedge issue used to attack Trump.
its palace politics.
McSabatoge at it again.
He sounds like Laura Ingrahm.
The VERY LAST thing we need is this idiot McStain opening his mouth...
He is a traitor to this country... and always has been since he was ‘captured’...and that is heavy on the ‘captured’!!!
And speaking of being dysfunctional there Mr.McCain .....
