I wonder what today’s distraction will be?

Yesterday, National Security Adviser Michael Flynn resigned after the Washington Post revealed that the Trump administration had already been warned that he was lying so badly he’d opened himself to Russian blackmail.

Flynn had lied that he wasn’t offering the Russians concessions. I still want to know what he traded them for. So do other people, presumably. Flynn fell on his sword obligingly, hoping to stop the business there, but unless we’re especially dull, someone will still be asking uncomfortable questions.

Hence, Trump needs to throw the press something shiny and sparkly. Soon.  Given the potential gravity of the situation, I’m worried he’ll shoot high, and we’ll get a big, noisy, “Invade Grenada!”-sized commotion.
