" It's what cops are thought to always say at crime scenes. I've seen the phrase used metaphorically in political discussions to imply that the media is ignoring some misdeed of a political leader. "Don't worry, the president just suspended habeus corpus, that's all.

"Don't worry, the president just suspended habeus corpus, that's all. Move along! Nothing to see here!"
