NBC has announced Billy Bush has been suspended indefinitely from the Today show over his lewd comments with Donald Trump that were recorded on a hot mic.

Today executive Noah Oppenheim announced Bush's ban in an email to the show's team on Sunday night.

'Dear TODAY Family - I know we've all been deeply troubled by the revelations of the past 48 hours,' the statement read.

'Let me be clear - there is simply no excuse for Billy's language and behavior on that tape. NBC has decided to suspend Billy, pending further review of this matter.

'If any of you have any questions or concerns please reach out to me directly, anytime day or night.

'Best, Noah.'

To Mr. Trump and Trump family:

Please STAY ON THE ATTACK.

Tonight was GREAT.

Hit the airwaves with paid ads of pics of Bill with his little girls, Bill off to Epstein’s sex island, quotes from Juanita, Kathleen Willey etc.

You’ve got them by the nose now kick them in ass.

Ah, but the NBC producer who leaked that 11 year old tape, Rob Silverstein, still has his job I’ll bet.

They don’t mind dumping a ‘Bush’ even though he did their dirty work. No honor among the corrupt.

Suspended for something that happened 11 years ago? Rapists like Bill Clinton get treated better.

I think the most likely outcome of this is not that. I think the most likely outcome is something that was observed in World War I called the Live and let live behavior. Soldiers on both sides during horrific trench warfare would spontaneously (and without actual contact with each other) cease hostilities. They just wouldnt shoot each other. The high commands on both sides, when they discovered it, would order charges to break the bahavior but it happened many times. It's studied in game theory.

So in this case, consider Trump and Hillary as soldiers in a trench and they are lobbing shells at each other. First Hillary thought she could land a death blow. But Trump came back and made it clear that he could and would make it extremely painful for her with his own attacks. At this point they may well ask themselves is "do I really want to getting hammered over this? Is the damage worth it? Or do I let it drop and see what happens on the other side? If he/she stops, I'll move on and feel lucky". Look for both sides to drop the "he's a pervert" attacks, for reasons of self preservation. Or I could be totally wrong. We'll see.

Dear Billie: You have served your purpose and are now disposable.

It’s possible, but I really don’t think Trump has “lobbed” his shells into Hillary’s trench yet.

As he’s been hit very hard, he should at least give it a try, maybe she’ll crumble.

I think when he had Bill’s victims sit in the debate, he may not have hit her with it but he showed her he was holding a nuclear bomb and had his thumb on the trigger. It’s why (in my opinion) the debate moved off the Trump remarks pretty quickly. There was no way they could skip them altogether but they could have and likely would have kept going back to them over and over and letting him twist in the wind if he hadn’t walked in with those ladies. That stunned team Clinton. In 20 years no republican has dared even speak of those ladies except to mock anyone who dared to mention them. But Trump is not your usual GOP dope. So Clinton and the moderators backed off quickly and Trump left the victims out of the debate. But he’s showed his hand, he will go nuclear if he’s pushed there. Now it’s up to Hillary, does she think she can gain enough by talking about it (and maybe “finding” some more tapes) knowing Trump will return fire devestatingly or is she better off just dropping it. Ball’s in her court.
