The Russians Had Nothing to Do with the Voting
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | March 20, 2017 | Rush Limbaugh

So the FBI director James Comey going on and on and on and on and on about the Russians undermining faith in our elections, that that’s what the Russians want to do. It may be so. I can remember when Teddy Kennedy worked with the Soviets to undermine the 1984 Reagan campaign. Now, you might think that’s not relevant, that’s so long ago and it’s not the same Russia as the Russia we’re talking about today, but it’s highly relevant, folks, because the Democrats have not changed who they are.

Barack Obama in open microphone gaffe with Dmitry Medvedev

You know, I’ll bet if the truth of this were known — ’cause we know that there has been collusion between Obama and the Russians. We know that by way of the open mic that caught Obama’s comment to Dmitry Medvedev just before the 2012 election. Obama was telling Putin that we’re going to be getting rid of additional nuclear missiles but he had his hands tied at the moment, but he said to Medvedev, “Tell Vladimir that I’ll have a little bit more flexibility after the election.” There’s been collusion with the Clinton campaign and the Russians. Bill Clinton working with some guy in Canada to end up profiting from the sale of a portion of the U.S. uranium supply to one of the Russian satellite countries.

I really think that when the truth of this is ever known, if it ever is, that it’s gonna be the exact opposite of what this narrative is. That any collusion, any suspected alliances that have existed here are gonna be between the Democrats and the Russians and not Trump. The FBI director wringing his hands talking about the Russians undermining faith in our elections. What is this today if nothing but undermining faith in our election? In fact, isn’t that the Democrat Party objective? It seems to me that the Democrat Party objective is to undermine faith in our election, specifically and head on.

The Democrat Party and their media acolytes are trying to make everybody think that the election last December was fraudulent all because they cannot deal with the fact that Hillary Clinton was conspired against. The evidence is clear. Large majorities of Americans in 31 states did conspire against Hillary Clinton. It’s called voting. They didn’t vote for her. Thirty-one states voted for Donald Trump. We don’t need the Russians helping to do that. Hillary did that all on her own.

This is what, to me, underlines this whole thing. Hillary Clinton lost the election because she deserved to lose the election. She did not run a good campaign. She ran an arrogant and condescending campaign. She ran a campaign that was steeped in presumption that she was going to win, and it was even beneath her to have to travel to states that the Democrats all thought were automatic. They didn’t even have to worry about it. They had it in the bag. Even up to nine o’clock on election night, they still thought Hillary Clinton was gonna win this. You go back and look at reruns of election night.

By the way, if you ever have some time and you want to actually enjoy yourself, go back and replay, pick any network — ABC, CBS, NBC, you can do this on YouTube — and watch election night coverage again. You know, start about seven o’clock. Six if you want to. Just watch it. And you’ll see smiles, pre-celebrations, happiness, everything but the popping of champagne corks. And then nine o’clock, 9:30, no matter what network you look at, there was a detectable and sudden change in attitude and opinion, and fear began to creep in, including on Fox.

I was watching Fox that night, and Chris Wallace sometime between nine and 9:15 was looking at up at their giant tote board up there. He said, “Gang, I think we need to be paying attention to something here. As I see it up there, it looks like, dare I say this…” He hemmed and hawed, he was not comfortable saying it, but it was undeniable. “Look at what we’ve got right now. Donald Trump, you can see how he could win this.” And from that moment forward it all changed. And if you have time to watch it all the way up to 2:30 or three in the morning, there’s an hour and a half where literally not a single vote was reported.

The tallies in all of these states that were still out, for an hour and a half, it’s like they stopped counting, it’s like they stopped reporting. I asked somebody what was going on. I called the Russian ambassador. I said, “What are they doing here?” (laughing) Snerdley, “Don’t say that, they’re gonna believe you.” No, I called somebody who has experience, I said, “What’s going on here?”

He said, “They’re looking for votes for Hillary.”

I said, “Who is ‘they’?”

He said, “Democrat election lawyers and precinct bosses are trying to find a way to report votes for Hillary in these states where she needs them.” And he said it doesn’t look like they’re gonna be able to. And they weren’t able to because they weren’t there. Hillary Clinton lost the election. We didn’t need the Russians help. She sabotaged herself by being who she is. Her campaign sabotaged itself by being what it was. And the evidence from election night is abundant. Millions of Americans conspired to influence the outcome of elections, and there’s evidence all over the place for it. It’s called votes!

Unlike these giant, wild assumptions that the Democrats and Comey are making about Russia doing it, the simple fact of the matter is all the evidence you need are the votes, and they were cast, and they were counted. And for an hour and a half around midnight everybody went dark while they went looking for phantom votes, and they couldn’t find enough, and that was that. And from that moment on a creeping insanity has infected the Democrat Party and the Washington establishment.

Grab audio sound bite number 23. This is Mike Rogers and FBI Director James Comey. Devin Nunes, who is the committee chairman here, California, asking the questions. “As of today, Admiral Rogers, do you have any evidence that Russia cyber actors changed vote tallies in the state of Michigan?”

Comey, Rodgers: No Votes Were Changed in Multiple States by Russian Interference

ROGERS: No, I do not, but I would highlight we are an intelligence organization, not a domestic intelligence organization, so it would be fair to say we are probably not the best organization to provide a more complete answer.

NUNES: How about the state of Pennsylvania?

ROGERS: No, sir.

NUNES: The state of Wisconsin?

ROGERS: No, sir.

NUNES: State of Florida?

ROGERS: No, sir.

RUSH: State of North Carolina?

ROGERS: No, sir.

NUNES: The state of Ohio?

ROGERS: No, sir.

NUNES: So you have no intelligence that suggests or evidence that suggests any votes were changed?

ROGERS: I have nothing generated by the National Security Agency, sir.

NUNES: Director Comey, do you have any evidence at the FBI that any votes were changed in the states that I mentioned to Admiral Rogers?

COMEY: No.

RUSH: That’s the news of the hearing. You probably will not hear that if all you do is access the Drive-By Media, but that’s the news of the hearing. I mean, they’re tampering with the election, right? They’re looking for evidence that Russia colluded with Trump on the election, right? Well, they can’t find anywhere votes were cast and they can’t find anywhere votes were counted, what else is there? “Well, Mr. Limbaugh, Mr. Limbaugh, the Russians hacked Podesta’s computer and they had all that news out there that was very, very bad.”

Well, these guys were asked about that. Would you believe that Adam Schiff or one of his lackeys on the Democrat side literally asked Comey if he thought that the Podesta emails could have resulted in votes for Trump? And Comey said, “I have no idea. How could we analyze something like that?” No, was the answer. So, yeah, 31 states had lots of voters conspiring, working in collusion to defeat Hillary Clinton, and it happened. The Russians had nothing to do — according to the gods of the intelligence community — the Russians had nothing to do with the election in terms of votes in any way.

That just further emphasizes what this today is really all about. So here’s the things to look for. Here are the things to look for, because I’ll tell you what the objective of this is, just to repeat it very quickly, we’ll take a break, come back with your phone calls. The objective here is, I say one of two things, there could be more. But the first thing is, “Okay, Trump, you gonna get the message, stand down, stop all this draining of the swamp, stop all this Obamacare stuff, stop all this stuff you’re doing on trade, just stop all this stuff and go back to governing the way we want you to govern or we’re gonna impeach you.”

Because that’s what this is about. This is all about furthering the delegitimization of the entire Trump presidency, even though there’s no evidence that it’s illegitimate in any way, shape, manner, or form. There’s none. There is literally none. That’s what makes this so Twilight Zone-ish. And again, if there’s any undermining of American elections, it’s happening today on Capitol Hill as part of this committee hearing.

I still haven’t seen proof they did anything, including hack DNC email. The entire story is made up BS.

Did everyone miss that vault 7? The CIA uses Russian tools and techniques to impersonate Russians. More Intel world BS.

Let me state, for the record, that Russia had not one thing to do with how I voted.

Hillary Clinton wanted a dynasty, and I voted NO to that.

I did not want another Clinton, nor a Bush, and I NEVER want to see a Kennedy in any kind of Office either.

I find it disgusting that they all talk about how her emails were hacked, but NOT one of them has talked about the FACT that what was IN the emails was true.

She “expected” to win, it was her “turn”? BS, BS, BS!

NOBODY is due a “turn”! The people either vote for you or NOT, and don’t even get me started on the “she won the popular vote” Camp, IF we only went by the “popular vote” we wouldn’t have had Billy Boy as President TWICE, since neither time did he WIN the popular vote....

I need a stiff drink now.

Yep. What Comedy, McCabe, soetoro, dems and the msm are doing used to be called sedition.

(Spell check changed Comey to Comedy. Thought it was appropriate so I left it.)

Whatever the Russians may have done was probably dwarfed by what Soros (and his criminal NWO cohorts) did.

Yeah, well Gowdy is just the guy to go after him for lying to Congress when they have documentation that proves Comey sat there and lied about things he couldn't pretend he shouldn't talk about.

The Kremlin has owned and operated the Democrat party in this country since at least the 1930’s.

FDR’s regime was riddled with Soviet operatives. We know this because Russia opened its archives for a brief period after the Soviet Union collapsed. (Note: Joe McCarthy was more right than even he suspected)

More recently, Hilary Clinton “sold” 20% of America’s Uranium assets to the Russians.

If Vladimir Putin had a dog in the election-hunt, it was HRC, NOT Trump.

Well; since NO proof (or even EVIDENCE) has been produced in; what is it - 3 months now?; I'll have to accept this premise.

What 90 minutes would that be? I've watched it numerous times. Votes were constantly being added to the totals, even in the wee hours. Watching PA swing from a Clinton lead to a narrow Trump lead that grew rapidly, was especially pleasant. :)

but NOT one of them has talked about the FACT that what was IN the emails was true

And that is exactly WHY Hussein Obama, Podesta and others came up with Russia. It kept the real stories off the front pages of the world.

If we were talking about Hillary's Pay for Play information, she would already be in jail awaiting trial with NO BAIL.

So Hussein and the Demonrats have proved they are smarter than the Repubs. But they aren't smarter than Donald Trump.

I don't know about that. There''s a lot of circumstantial evidence, if anecdotal, that something involving the Russians was up. Top 5 examples:

#5: When I went to vote on election day morning, my usual parking space was taken up by a tank with a big red star on it.

#4: The nice little old ladies who usually check our voter's registration cards and driver's licenses were replaced with Boris and Natashia from the Rocky and Bullwinkle TV show.

#3:Our democrat Party county chairman who usually buys votes from the winos and drunks with half-pint bottles of gin was using vodka this year.

#2:Our Republican Party county chairman who usually buys votes from the homeless with 20$ bills was using Rubles this year.

#1:All the ballot info on our voting machines was in Cyrillic Russian language characters. I think I voted for President Kaopectate....
