Panetta: Trump’s Mishandling Russia ‘Scandal,’ He’s Trying to Divert, Obfuscate

EXCERPT:

DICKERSON: Who do Americans look to be the adult who says, here is what is happening?

PANETTA: Well, you know, what I see here is that this president is making the same mistake past presidents made when they faced scandals, that he is trying to divert attention.

They are trying to obfuscate. They’re trying to cover up. They are trying to somehow raise other issues. And, in the end, it is going to be the truth that will determine what is involved here, and not tweets, but the truth.
