“I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.”

Donald J. Trump (1946) 45th President of the United States of America

Reported as being the words of President Trump recorded in a memo that James Comey, FBI Director at the time, wrote shortly after a meeting held in the Oval Office on 14 February 2017, referring to the federal investigation into links to the Russian government of national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, who had resigned the day before. In a statement, the White House has denied the version of events in the memo. — New York Times (16 May 2017) https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/16/us/politics/james-comey-trump-flynn-russia-investigation.html

“I'm not going out of my way looking for devils; but I wouldn't step out of my path to let one go by.”

Robert E. Howard (1906–1936) American author

"Beyond the Black River" (1935)
Context: "There's nothing in the universe cold steel won't cut," answered Conan. "I threw my ax at the demon, and he took no hurt, but I might have missed in the dusk, or a branch deflected its flight. I'm not going out of my way looking for devils; but I wouldn't step out of my path to let one go by."
