Jim Mattis: Mike Flynn Who?http://dailycaller.com/2017/02/15/jim-mattis-mike-flynn-who/Secretary of Defense James Mattis brushed off former National Security Adviser Mike Flynn’s Monday resignation to reporters Tuesday.
Flynn resigned in disgrace after reports revealed he lied to Vice President Mike Pence on the nature of his conversations with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. “Frankly, this has no impact,” Mattis told reporters on his way to Belgium for a meeting of defense ministers within the NATO alliance.
“I haven’t changed what I’m heading there for, it doesn’t’ change my message at all, and who’s on the president’s staff is who I will work with so it’s full steam ahead,” Mattis continued.
Mattis and Flynn’s relationship was tenuous at best. One of Mattis’s first tasks as commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) in 2010 was to fire Flynn for improperly sharing classified information with Pakistan.
