From Rush Limbaugh, yesterday:
Quote:
RUSH: So here’s the montage we put together. Drive-By Media. We’ve got NBC, we got ABC. We got the New York Times. We got CNN. We have NBC. We have NBC. We have PBS. We have MSNBC. Listen to all of these people talking about this.
LESTER HOLT: Tonight, the sex trafficking case against Jeffrey Epstein and its ties to the Trump administration.
HALLIE JACKSON: The relationship between President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
BILL RITTER: Epstein. He’s rich and was once well connected to people like Donald Trump.
CHRIS STIREWALT: Donald Trump was friends with Jeffrey Epstein.
MICHELLE GOLDBERG: He was very close to Donald Trump.
CHRISTINE ROMANS: Trump and Epstein.
DAVE BRIGGS: Epstein and Trump.
PHIL DRUCKER: Trump and Epstein.
NICOLLE WALLACE: Epstein and Trump.
CHRIS HAYES: Trump and Epstein.
CHARLIE SYKES: Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
ANNIE KARNI: Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
JOYCE VANCE: It is so hard to avoid the comparison between Epstein and Trump.
RUSH: No, it’s not. It’s very easy to avoid it. There was hardly any relationship. Trump threw him out of Mar-a-Lago once because he was soliciting young girls there, hitting on them. Threw him out of Mar-a-Lago. This is the kind of thing that if you let it, it can infuriate you. This is such a pack of lies. This is so obviously a political hit piece.

Further from Rush, yesterday:
RUSH: Getting Acosta is a way of getting Trump.
The media is totally focused on having — when I say media, by the way, it’s the Democrats. The Democrats, slash, Drive-Bys are totally focused on getting Trump. And if they can force the labor secretary to resign in disgrace and in humiliation, then they’ve got a story. “Trump’s labor secretary, slap on the wrist to Jeffrey Epstein, resigns,” so forth. That’s all this is. That’s all this opportunity represents.
And I’ll make you a prediction. However this ends up and if it ends up that Acosta doesn’t resign, and if it ends up that they can’t get Trump on this, they’ll drop the Epstein thing. They’ll let whatever the SDNY does, they’ll let it happen in invisibility. We will not know how this case is progressing.
Now, I’ve run that theory by some people, and they’re telling me, “Rush, you’re wrong this time. Epstein’s not gonna get away with this. This is really, really bad for Epstein, Rush, and the reason is all of these young girls that were ignored and not listened to 13 years ago are now adults, and they and their parents are loaded for bear, and they’re bringing civil cases against Epstein, and this is not gonna go away this time. Epstein is in a serious circumstance, and they can’t let him go with a slap on the wrist.”
Okay. I hope you’re right, those of you who subscribe to that theory, but I’m just predicting: This is not gonna get Trump. This is not gonna get Trump out of the White House. It’s not gonna interrupt his campaign. Even if Acosta resigns, this is not going to get Trump. And whenever that is realized, like Rapinoe, yesterday Megan Rapinoe was gonna get Trump. Don’t deny it. That’s why she was being lauded. That’s why she was being feted. That’s why she was being celebrated. Megan Rapinoe was not gonna go to the White House. She wasn’t gonna go deign to go talk to that reprobate, that scum, ogre, Trump.
Okay. So she’s a one-day flash in the pan, gone with the ESPYs last night. So now they’ve gotta move on. Now they’re back to Acosta. Whenever this ends up with Trump not being damaged, they’re gonna move on to something else, and you will not hear Epstein’s name again. I don’t know what it will be. Next one’s gonna be Mueller coming back next Wednesday. CNN is already effectively doing a countdown. It’s six days away, and CNN’s already talking about the special anchors they’re gonna have coming in with wall-to-wall coverage.
Meanwhile, Mueller and his crew are trying to chicken out of this thing and not show up at all because Mueller doesn’t want any more of this. So whatever and whoever the latest weapon the Democrats glom onto think that this is gonna be the thing that gets rid of Trump, when that blows up in their face like it does to Wile E. Coyote, something else is gonna have to pop up and replace it.
And it will be something. Who knows what it is, but it will be something and we’ll be sitting here dealing with that. People gonna be saying, “What happened to Epstein?”
“Well, that didn’t pan out. Trump’s still in the White House.” ‘Cause they don’t care about Epstein.
