Flynn Deserves Little to No Prison Time, Mueller Team Says

  • Michael T. Flynn, President Trump’s first national security adviser, was a key cooperator, according to prosecutors for Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel.
  • Mr. Flynn pleaded guilty a year ago to lying to the F.B.I. about conversations he had with the Russian ambassador to the United States at the time.


"little to no" versus "little or no"?

A few years ago, I started noticing people using the phrase "little to no" instead of "little or no". I'm unable to find anything clarifying which, if either, is more appropriate. My sense is that "little to no" denotes a transition from little to no, whereas "little or no" indicates an uncertain level or quantity. I'll set 'em up, you knock 'em down.




The Episcopal church, with all its grandeur, nostalgia and contradiction, was a natural spiritual dwelling-place for George H.W. Bush
