RUSH: My gosh, I could not believe this when I saw it, and that was my initial reaction. But it didn’t take much time, maybe less than 20 seconds, and it made total sense to me. ‘Cause I am constantly having to remind myself how thoroughly the left has penetrated our education system and how thoroughly successful they have been in indoctrinating students for at least one generation if not more.
So last week — to set the table, to set the stage — James Comey gave testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, and during his testimony he referenced a couple or three times that he met alone with President Trump. He indicated that he was frightened, that he was alarmed, that he was troubled, that he was concerned, that he was so frightened he didn’t exhibit the proper courage in resisting some of the obvious crimes that the president wanted him to commit, such as letting go the Flynn investigation.
James Comey apparently had no problem portraying himself as a victim of this brusque, brutal, predator bum Donald Trump. When you think back on it, he came across as a victim. He admitted he could have been more courageous. He admitted that he had been a little “cowardly.” Well, get this. Both the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times published stories saying that the way Trump dealt with James Comey is the exact way women are sexually harassed in the workplace. Now, when I first saw that…
I ask myself more and more these days, “How in the world does anybody think that? How in the world does somebody come to that conclusion?” And I always hearken back: That’s how they’ve been indoctrinated. This is how they’ve been taught. It’s how they have been propagandized. First up, this is… What do we have? New York Times opinion writer Nicole Serratore suggested the real reason that Comey lacked courage and was frightened was that he felt sexually harassed by Trump. That’s right.
According to the New York Times, Comey could not react to Trump at the time. He couldn’t man up. He couldn’t tell the president to stop. He couldn’t say, “No, Mr. President, I will not engage,” because he felt sexually intimidated. Now, Comey is six-eight. He was hiding in the curtains in the Blue Room. Remember that? He was trying to blend in with the curtains so that Trump would not see him. He was so intimidated. Now the New York Times says that Comey was sexually intimidated!
This is the kind of thing we used to do parodies of. This is the kind of thing we used to make jokes about. We found out very quickly… It actually was not very quickly. We found out we should not have been laughing. We should have believed and understood these people really believe this stuff. Here is what Nicole Serratore wrote: “As I listened to James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, tell the Senate Intelligence Committee about his personal meetings and phone calls with President Trump, I was reminded of something: the experience of a woman being harassed by her powerful, predatory boss.
“There was precisely that sinister air of coercion, of an employee helpless to avoid unsavory contact with an employer who is trying to grab what he wants. After reading Mr. Comey’s earlier statement, I tweeted about this Wednesday night, and immediately heard from other women who had seen that narrative emerge. How recognizable it was that Mr. Comey was ‘stunned’ to find himself in these potentially compromising positions.”
(laughing) Compromising positions! “His incredulity, mixed with President Trump’s circling attempts to get his way, were poignant. For a woman who has spent a lifetime wrestling with situations where men have power they can abuse, this was disturbingly familiar. [Tweet] ‘On some level the view from inside Comey’s head on all this Tr*mp [sic] stuff feels so weirdly like a date with terrible guy.'” Do you believe this? So you women, female reporters in the New York Times (there’s one in the LA Times, too, writing almost the same thing).
When they watched coach recount his experiences with Trump alone at dinner and in the Oval Office, it reminded them of what it feels like to be sexual harassed and surrounded and hit on by a bum, predatory male boss. So James Comey reminded them of a victimized woman, and to them it makes him a hero. To them, a six-foot eight guy — the FBI director, J. Edgar Comey — reminded them of a sexually harassed woman. What is a sexually harassed woman? A powerless, put-upon, set-upon victim. Poor James Comey!
These women knew exactly what it was like. J. Edgar Comey. By the way, Michael Goodwin had a good piece in the New York Post on Sunday that this Comey guy, A, is a stranger to the truth in a couple of ways documented. But keeping memos on presidents, writing up records of meetings with presidents? That’s J. Edgar Hoover-like. It’s also been pointed out that Comey may have lied when he said that Donald Trump was the only president he had seen fit to do this with.
He had only met with Obama a couple times. There was no need to memorialize anything. But it turns out that Comey was at odds with George W. Bush. Back when John Ashcroft was the attorney general, he was in a hospital. It was a life or death situation. Comey then became the acting attorney general, and there was a controversial reauthorization of warrantless wiretaps, which Comey opposed and Bush was in favor of, and Comey was threatening to resign. Now, Comey wrote memos about his meetings with George W. Bush!
He lied before the committee last week when he said he had only written memos about Trump. He said he had never written memos. But somebody named Barton Gellman has written a book for which Comey was a major source, and that’s how all of this is known. That Comey did memorialize meetings he had with Bush because it was… In fact, he references the grandfather clock in the Oval Office in the memo he wrote about his meeting with Bush just like the grandfather clock in the Oval Office is mentioned in his memo meeting with Trump.
It’s the meeting with George W. Bush where Comey went in and said, “I disapprove,” and Bush essentially said, “It doesn’t matter. I’m president. I run the executive branch.” Comey said, “I know. I know you do. But I’m gonna resign, ’cause I cannot sit here and openly support the continuation and expansion of the warrantless wiretap program.” And Bush said, “Well, okay.” And then Comey said, “By the way, Bob Mueller’s gonna resign, too. Robert Mueller’s gonna resign.”
This is back in George W. Bush’s first term. “And, by the way, Mueller’s gonna resign with me.” Bush said, “Well, I’m really glad you told me that.” Comey and Mueller are buddies. They are more than colleagues. They are buddies. Anybody who thinks that this independent counsel investigation is gonna be “fair,” quote, unquote… There’s no reason for one, number one. Number two, anybody who thinks this… Let me ask you a question. Have you ever heard…?
And I’ve asked ever legal beagle I know. Have you ever heard of any independent counsel investigation that concluded with the independent counsel saying, “You know what? We’re done! We found nothing. Nobody violated a law. Everybody involved here is clear and we’re closing the file.” Has that ever happened? No. It can’t happen. After all the money that’s spent, after all the political lead-in for the necessity of the thing, they have to find a crime somewhere. Hello, Scooter Libby, and the Valerie Plame so-called leak.
Newt Gingrich is on a warpath about this and he should be. But there aren’t any other Republicans on the warpath about this. Do you know that Trump could fire the independent counsel if he wanted to? Obviously, he’d be advised not to do that. “Can’t fire Comey and then the independent counsel! It wouldn’t look good.” But he could. He runs the executive branch. So James Comey was sexually harassed. Women reporters at the New York Times, LA Times: Yes, I saw no difference in a woman being harassed by a sexual predator boss, a male predator.
What a… I could not fathom being seen as somebody acting as though I’ve been sexually harassed. But apparently in today’s world, that’s a badge of honor, to be sexually harassed by some predator bum like Donald Trump. Apparently, it’s a badge of honor to be “cowardly.” It’s a badge of honor to be so frightened, you didn’t know what to say. It’s a badge of honor to lack courage because Donald Trump is such a bad guy; he can make anybody lose their courage.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: To my adopted hometown of Sacramento — and by the way, that is a city in this country that I owe so much to. It is the first city, first market that I actually ever was successful in and knew it immediately. It was the first time I’d ever been on any kind of a success track, and it’s a… I will always be grateful for the Sacramento market and the people there. It was tremendous. Here is Julia, and it’s great to have you. Welcome to the program.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. It’s a pleasure to talk to you.
RUSH: Thank you.
CALLER: I really haven’t watched a lot of TV. I more or less spend my little bit of time I can with you and with Sean, which not a lot anymore, but with this election I have listened to Fox for my first time. I cannot go CNN. I have a little bit of a queasy stomach. But I am so disgusted. This is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I can’t believe it.
RUSH: What is this?
CALLER: This Comey, his… When Comey gave his deposition, whatever it was, it was such a… He was trying to hide in the curtains? He is so full of guilt. What? Look what he did with Hillary and Obama. He was so bought off with them that they owned him. He didn’t have to take notes. He didn’t have to do nothing.
RUSH: Now, this is fascinating. I mean, obviously we have vitriol here. Julia is not a fan of James Comey and thinks he was laden with guilt. I know what you mean, but I must respectfully disagree. I don’t think there was a shred of guilt. You think Comey was covering guilt? You think he was acting like he was guilty of something in this hearing? (interruption) You think that, too? I think we were listening to the guy who thinks he single-handedly is gonna bring Donald Trump down.
I think we’re listening to the guy who succeeded in getting a special counsel appointed by leaking his supposedly only ever written memo after only meeting with one president, Donald Trump. I listened to it and I saw a guy who loved himself. He was so impressed with himself. I saw a guy whose ego is so high you can’t see it. I saw a guy who’s built a pedestal for himself, and he lives on it and is of the belief that everybody believes he should be on that pedestal.
I didn’t see any guilt whatsoever.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I’m gonna tell you something, folks. When Comey announced that he leaked, some people think, “Yeah, he had to feel guilty.” No way. He didn’t feel guilty. He wanted a badge! He wanted a badge of honor. He wanted a medal for leaking. I’ll tell you, his admission that he had been leaking things? That answers everything for me. That tells me why James Comey is not interested in investigating the leakers and the leaks, because he is one of them.
Comey takes it up the a$$?
Yeah they are making it out like Trump wanted comey to give him a B* and then Cigar him:-)
Comey is 6 foot 8 inches tall.
I doubt he has ever been harassed by anybody......................
He was probably afraid Trump would grab him by the pussy.
Limp and whiny Comey comes across as impotent. He should just slink away and crawl back under his rock and take his buddy Mueller with him, IMO.
Comey another wimp with only excuses and blame another student of the Obama school of whining.
I had a fat slob of a sexual harasser boss who was my height, and his muscle, who was a couple inches taller than me.
They never scared me in more than several confrontations over sexboy's ways with the waitresses. :)
Matter of fact, I scared the muscle every time.
I would guess that Comey was professionally coached by his Columbia law friend on exactly what words to use to create a certain impression that the Columbia crowd could run with
You're correct, without a doubt.
Interestingly, guys that size have a weak point: their knees.
I could count on one hand the number of really big guys that can take a bodyslam to the knees without folding up like an accordion.
Usually, they've played sports, tearing their knees up in the process, and also the human knee is not made to carry that kind of weight just at rest.
Comey was a “bottom” for 0bama.
Comey does look like a battered wife.
If the Head of the FBI got his feelings hurt and is that sensitive, then President Trump should've fired him on Day One!
I am laughing so hard my stomach hurts
This is sickening and disgusting, reminds me of the campaign with Gloria Alred and Billy Bush and Hillary Clinton and her sick, evil, sexual deviant mind...probably where this came from since Comey has always worked for her...
I wonder if Comey is part of the Government Child Trafficking underground???
Are female writers the same as unnamed sources?
Life is just a series of one sexual harassment after another to leftists.
Well he certainly acted like he was afraid Trump would grab him by his p***y
