I think it's wise for Lauer to just vanish. NBC wouldn't have fired him so precipitously if the evidence against him wasn't rock solid. In the current climate, there's no upside to saying anything. A defense of any kind isn't going to fly. An apology can't be abject enough to deflect justifiable public anger. Just vanish.
