На Fox News пена изо рта при обсуждении Флинна затмила пандемию.

this pivot away from the pandemic can only be explained by the fact that fox news is part and parcel of the trump administration

The argument from Trump and his allies is that the shift in Flynn’s fortunes is evidence that the FBI was overzealous in its approach to him and, further, that this validates the idea that the Russia investigation in general was overheated and unfair. That this hinges upon a hotly contested decision by Trump’s attorney general - a member of his Cabinet with a demonstrated affinity for coming to Trump’s political assistance - is either glossed over or itself set aside as evidence of bias against the president.
Whatever your view, it seems obvious that Flynn is a better topic of conversation for Trump and his supporters than the virus. Since charges were dropped against Flynn, more than 4,000 people have died of covid-19, the disease caused by the virus.
In his tweets over the weekend, Trump did not offer any condolences to the families of those who had died.

Imagine if people at Fox had actually read the Mueller report instead of just lying about it for a living. https://t.co/ankzXzoxhj

Трамп успел поделиться приятной новостью про Флинна с Путиным:

Q You spoke to President Putin today.
THE PRESIDENT: I did.
Q Did he ask for any ventilators or any equipment for his pandemic?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes. We - we are helping various countries. As you know, Russia is having a hard time with the same COVID-19. They got hit like everybody else got hit. And we had a long talk.
And also, the 75th year - and you know what the 75th year means. It was very nice. He called me because we were partners, so to speak, for a very big, successful war. And it was very nice. He called to - as a congratulatory call, as a call of celebration, because it was the 75th year.
And also, I suggested if they need - because we have a lot of ventilators - if they need ventilators, we’d love to send them some, and we will do that at the appropriate time. We’ll send them some ventilators.
And that was a very nice call. And remember this: The Russia hoax made it very hard for Russia and the United States to deal with each other. They’re a very important nation. We’re the most powerful nation; they’re a very powerful nation. Why would we not be dealing with each other.
But the Russia hoax is - absolute, dishonest hoax. Made it very difficult for our nation and their nation to deal. And we discussed that. I said, “You know, it’s a very appropriate time.” Because things are falling out now and coming in line, showing what a hoax this whole investigation was. It was a total disgrace. And I wouldn’t be surprised if you see a lot of things happen over the next number of weeks. This is just one piece of a very dishonest puzzle.
