I'll second that.
Too many nervous pearl clutchers around here lately.

Top White House aide and policy adviser, Stephen Miller, sidestepped repeated chances during Sunday news shows to publicly defend embattled National Security Adviser Michael Flynn following reports that he engaged in conversations with Russian diplomat(s) about U.S. sanctions before Trump’s inauguration. The uncertainty came as Trump was dealing with North Korea’s apparent first missile launch of the year and his presidency, along with visits this week from the leaders of Israel and Canada.
Pressed repeatedly, Stephen Miller said it wasn’t up to him to say whether the president retains confidence in Flynn. “It’s not for me to tell you what’s in the president’s mind,” he said on NBC. “That’s a question for the president.”
While Trump has yet to comment on the allegations against Flynn, the White House said in an anonymous statement Friday the president had full confidence in Flynn. But officials have been mum since then amid fallout from reports that Flynn addressed U.S. sanctions against Russia in a phone call late last year. The report, which first appeared in The Washington Post, contradicted both Flynn’s previous denials, as well as those made by Vice President Mike Pence in a televised interview.
Now we know why the administration has been so quiet about the fate of Flynn. As the WSJ reports, the White House is reviewing "whether to retain Flynn amid a furor over his contacts with Russian officials before President Donald Trump took office, an administration official said Sunday." Flynn has apologized to White House colleagues over the episode, which has created a rift with Vice President Mike Pence and diverted attention from the administration’s message to his own dealings, the official said.
“He’s apologized to everyone,” the official said of Mr. Flynn.

Just hand out Reset buttons. It worked for Hillary.
While what he said in them was harmless, Flynn deceived Trump twice about the phone calls to the Russkies.
That will likely get him fired.
That is the crux of the matter. If he flat-out lied about it, he can’t stay.
No. No. No. No.
Don’t give the democrats a successful destruction of a valuable general.
Don’t do it! Please.
Does NOT equal...

I think it would be good if they remembered that hysteria does not translate to scandal. Just cause others do their best to make it so we do not have to go along.
Umm.....Yeah! NO. Not Happening. Dream On.
I thought we loved Zero Hedge and the guy that uses an alias to run it? yeah, it’s always been garbage.
I thought this was a non-story and the FBI and CIA whomever said there was no breech in the phone call.
Zero Hedge is running down to Zero Credibility.
If Flynn’s head rolls on this, it will only embolden the lunatic left to go after more administration officials. Do not give in on this Mr President, they think they smell blood and its your’s they want.
“I can’t believe the messages in these comments willing to throw Flynn under the bus based on a WP report citing undisclosed sources.”
Unfortunately, this weakness is seen all too often.
Fake News is not a food source, people need to quit lapping it up.
Build the lie. Repeat the lie. Make the lie the media "truth". Bake it in and serve it up to the useful idiots.
Fake news.
Negotiation is required to violate the war. Like President Carter, Jessie Jackson, John McCain, etc.
What was that about Zero Hedge having zero credibility?
