Scaramucci: Russia 'situation' is 'overblown'

?itok=v6J0CDZB

Incoming White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said on Sunday that the Russia "situation" has been "overblown," and the White House is looking to "deescalate" it.

“We certainly want to deescalate things," Scaramucci told Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.” "I think the Russian situation is overblown.”

Scaramucci went on to address reports saying President Trump and his legal team are exploring ways he could potentially pardon himself and those close to him in regards to the ongoing probe into alleged collusion between his campaign and Russia.
“He has no one to pardon. He hasn’t done anything wrong. He was just making a statement about power to pardon,” he said.

Trump on Saturday said "all" agree that he has "complete power to pardon" in a tweet blasting leaks in his administration.

This Russia/Trump/Republican Party thing is one of the biggest stories in our
nation's history and "the mooch" can not just wish it away.
