Don't worry. Manny Pacquiao got up and went on to fight again.
The Post reports, Former national security adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty Friday to lying to the FBI.
Flynns admission
is an ominous sign for the White House, as court documents indicate Flynn is cooperating in the ongoing probe of possible coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin to influence the 2016 election. ABC News reports, Michael Flynn promised full cooperation to the Mueller team and is prepared to testify that as a candidate, Donald Trump directed him to make contact with the Russians. That could be direct testimony implicating the president of campaign collusion.
Flynns plea marks a dangerous turn. Flynn was a White House adviser, not a campaign aide. Moreover, there is no passing him off an errand boy or bit player. Trump developed a close rapport with Flynn on the campaign trail, where the general delivered fiery denunciations of Hillary Clinton, including leading a lock her up chant at the Republican National Convention, and he gave Trump much-needed national security credentials, The Post reports. Flynn, however, had a mixed reputation among other Trump aides, who thought he gave the president questionable information and questioned some of his business dealings.

Trump can claim all he wants that the Russia investigation is a hoax, but if Flynn provides direct evidence implicating Trump, the presidents days in office are numbered.
Boom.
