2-16-17 flynn resignation-retired ripon college political science professor marty farrell

A retired Ripon College political science professor says he can’t remember the last time a presidential appointment resigned less than a month on the job.   Donald Trump’s pick for national security advisor, Michael Flynn resigned this week after misleading the vice president on his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the U.S.  Professor Marty Farrell says Flynn was a controversial, risky choice to begin with.  “He apparently despite all of his positive attributes and distinguished military record just has a problem telling the truth,”  Farrell told AM 1170 WFDL’s Between the Lines program.  Farrell says Flynn’s resignation is another reason why many lawmakers believe the Trump administration’s relationship with the Russian government needs to be investigated given Russia’s threat to peace in today’s world.
