Ari Fleischer: Team Trump Hasn’t Handled the Russia Issue Very Well

RUSH EXCERPT:
FLEISCHER: "One, take a deep breath. I consider that is the best advice to get through this. I don’t think Team Trump has handled this very well. All the issues relating to Russia -- they keep having to correct their forms, they keep having to remember things that they previously forgot. The best course is always when you get hit with something like this, disclose it all voluntarily upfront yourself. Frame it yourself so your critics can’t misframe it and get it out there. That’s number one, they haven’t done that. Number two, people have to be precise in their language about what collusion means. It is a huge difference between having a meeting with a foreign official to ascertain if there is a fact that you can use in the campaign. That is entirely different than working with a foreign nation with stolen material, in this case, the emails from the DNC. That would be a very troublesome collusion. Receiving a fact that matter from a foreign official, I do not there’s anything necessarily wrong with that. That didn’t even take place here."
