Brian Williams has taken a 'leave of absence' for an indefinite period. No doubt to see if the storm that surrounds him will blow over. The LC [who has been correct in his predictions so far] thinks that that is a vain hope and does not expect to see Williams return after Lester Holt's weekend stint. This is the perfect opportunity for the comely and highly-intelligent Deborah Turness (above) to start putting her unique stamp on NBC News without Lyin' Brian's massive ego barrring the way. The LC once knew a remarkably talented PR person who defined PR as the art of making friends before you need them: A lesson the pompous Williams clearly never learned.
