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.

McCain who failed badly running for President is irrelevant and will learn Trump’s the winner.
I rate McCain a AAA on this
Asshole aiding and abetting

McCain is showing everyday why he is no hero and had the moniker “songbird” while a POW. It is all about McCain, to hell with the country. I used to respect McCain for his time as a POW, but no longer. I absolutely detest this fake.
I like how u think!!!
John McCain needs to STFU
He is trying to force Trump to take Linda as the replacement.
I heard it floated on Faux News this morning.
Manchurian needs to just change parties.
His bubble is off center.
Ralph Peters is also a dysfunctional idiot who sees a Russian behind every tree. Peters, Juan and Linda are the 3 stooges.
Dear McCain,
You’re a bitch.
And I edited out the Regards.
No, it shows that traitors like McLame and his cronies in the intelligence community won one in their effort to bring down the President. It will get tougher from here on out.
FUJM
“John, you have found a way to squander a volume of respect that would last most people several lifetimes.
Now the vast majority of patriots hate you.”

Truer words were never spoken. Well said.
John McCain, the modern day Benedict Arnold.
McCain keeps a whetstone in his desk drawer to keep the knife sharp for his frequent stabs in the backs of others.
Arizona GOP voters put him there, they ought to be besieging his office right now. If this another one of those days where everyone there is “too busy”, then I’d suggest people save their complaining because all of the “FYJM”s isnt going to do anything. All you guys are doing is shaking your fists at the computer monitor.
If people on our side would stop kissing the ass of this guy ever 6 years because he was in the military years ago, he would have been gone long ago.
FU McCain! You’d know all about dysfunction.
Dysfunction? You mean like McCain’s 2008 Presidential run?
