Trump supporters need to give up calling for a "smooth transition of power" as Trump and his staff are already acting as if this has already happened.
The rest the country is becoming increasingly alarmed at this turn of events.
At this point, a Republican committee looking into matters is not going to satisfy citizens. A bipartisan committee is called for and the sooner the better.

Yes - you're right. And it is bipartisan (which Burr sought, I believe). Mark Warner is the leading Democrat on the committee; he joined in.
And, you're right again - about the sense of increasing alarm. Do rather think Trump is in over his head. Given the increasing push back against Russia, why, why, why keep up public resistance to the intelligence findings? In the absolute, I'm actually somewhat positive about cautious rapprochement but not at the expense of the intelligence community.
And not by looking foolish. Trump can't even get through a press conference without contradicting himself. First, he believes its the Russians on the hack job. Then we're back to the (maybe) China, whoever.
Great men - and he is that, in a way - can be this odd conglomeration of talent and intense flaws. For all his ability to read a crowd he is absolutely tone-deaf in other ways, and, worse, a prisoner of his ego. I look at some of this as his getting some lumps in early and so maybe, maybe, maybe he'll seek wise counsel and sane heads will prevail. It may well be wise for all that Flynn departs - sooner rather than later.
