No, Rush Limbaugh did not slam the Trump legal team. – Mediaite is one of the more odious leftwing web-based “news” outlets. Its entire model is producing short pieces with inflammatory headlines that attract clicks, similar to an array of other clickbait fake news sites on both the right and the left. I won’t name names, but many readers will know exactly who on the right I’m referring to.
On his program yesterday, Rush discussed the situation with the Trump Legal Team vis a vis Sidney Powell, and the joint press conference they all had last Thursday. During that segment, Rush talked about the fact that he’d had lots of emails and texts from friends and listeners expressing disappointment over the fact that the lawyers did not deliver any blockbuster hard evidence during that presser. He closed with this statement: “They promised blockbuster stuff, and then nothing happened,” again quoting from one of the notes he had received.
I happened to be listening to that segment and thought nothing of it. But the hacks at Mediaite saw an opportunity and ran with it, posting a 120-word story that contained this headline:
No doubt it attracted a ton of clicks, given that it contained the names of both Rush and Trump and claimed Rush was turning on Trump and his legal team as beached whale Chris Christie did on ABC’s “This Week” program Sunday Morning. As is typical on leftist Twitter, Mediaite’s story was immediately re-tweeted by all of the blue-check Democrat activists who pretend to be journalists and went trending before Rush’s show even ended.
But what Mediaite alleged did not happen. Not at all. A read of the full transcript clears that up entirely. In fact, Limbaugh took time to clear things up later on his show, and his own site titles the transcript of that part of the show “I’m Not Doing a Chris Christie on the Trump Team.”
Here’s an excerpt:
RUSH: That’s Governor Christie. Now, I need to share with you that Mediaite, which has no love lost for me or this program, has already run a story, the headline of which is: “Rush Limbaugh Slams Trump Legal Team: ‘They Promised Blockbuster Stuff and Then Nothing Happened.’”
And they get it right in the sense that this was said by me in the context of the Sidney Powell story. And the only point that I made, folks, just if you run into this and you think that I’m in the process of doing a Governor Christie on the Trump team, I’m not. The point that I made was about that press conference specifically. And I shared with you that I had a number of friends who had written me echoing a thought that I had.
If you’re gonna promise blockbusters like this. I had one friend tell me he was giddy during that press conference, the whole hour when Rudy started, then Jenna Ellis and then when Sidney went, he thought that what was going to follow was evidence, some hacker that they had found or somebody they had found that had the evidence of what they were talking about. He said to me that when you do a blockbuster press conference like that, when you are telling people that you’ve got blockbuster, fire hose type of evidence — I was expecting to hear some. And I didn’t. And I shared those thoughts with people.
And Mediaite has typed it up here as though I personally am slamming the Trump legal team. You might want to interpret it that way. Maybe you can. But I was watching it expecting something big to come out of it. But I’m still waiting. That’s the difference. I have not given up that there isn’t something. The more you look into what happened, when you look at the way Horowitz, as I just shared with you, frames what happened here, I mean, you would have to work really hard to believe there wasn’t any fraud here.
And then when you look at the usual suspects who are doing everything they can to make fun of the notion that there was fraud, trying to downplay it and trying to tell people you’re silly. There couldn’t have been fraud. They couldn’t have done this, that’s the wrong attitude to have about this. We need to get to the bottom of what happened, and if it was not fraud, then that’s all the better. But we can’t have this much, this many allegations and this much circumstantial evidence of which there is a lot.
[End]
Go read the rest of it – you’ll be better educated and informed for doing so.
And don’t trust anything Mediaite and other clickbait “news” sources report on Twitter and their websites at face value, because the truth often has no relationship at all to what the headline of the story claims.
That is all.
Rush even talked about the mischievous characterization of his position in his show.
BS. I turned off Rush yesterday for the first time.
Yes, he did. I turned him off yesterday.
“BS. I turned off Rush yesterday for the first time.”
I’m sure Rush is totally distraught because you turned him off.
Trump’s attack on the election is beginning to waiver because voter fraud is becoming acceptable to the public. It may be that no amount of proof will be sufficient. The fascists are winning.
Up yours, sheep.
I turned him off when he said that if there is no big evidence revealed in the next day or two, then it is time to move on and concentrate on the Georgia race.
Everyone knows what “move on” means.
Leftist criminality is simply our way of life now. And the sheeple on our side fall in line. Wonder what the payoff is.......
He may have chemo brain. Cancer patients know what that means. Either way, the EIB network is free to follow Fox if it chooses.
Thanks David.
I think there is PR needle Team Trump is threading here:
They DO have the evidence they need - but as with any “white collar” crime, the plot is extremely complex, decentralized and filled with “plausible deniability“.
There will be no Perry Mason moment, where Brennen or someone breaks down in tears and confesses that the CIA engineered it all.
The these criminals will be gaslighting us to the bitter end - and the complicit fake news, deep state politicians, globalist corporate lobbyists, and treacherous counter intelligence agencies involved - will stick to their BS stories no matter what.
But that does NOT mean they will get away with this. It just means that, so far, there is no Perry Mason moment that can wrap this thing up by the end of the hour.
Christie is slowly slipping below the waves.......
Doughnut Boy Christie has zero credibility.
“He may have chemo brain.”
Yes, I thought about that. Don’t know how he manages it. But was going through a down period on all this and did not want to hear what he was saying. And I disagree with the hue and cry for evidence. That is for the courts. But the drumbeat from the MSM has to be counteracted, which was the reason for the press conference.

Good analysis. Hope to get it to the U.S. Supreme Court and then hope that there will be enough spines there to overturn the fraud.
...U.S. Supreme Court ...
____________________________
This is not a criminal or civil trial. The SCOTUS decides questions of constitutionality. Trump’s team is arguing 14th Amendment and Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act violations.
Equal Protection. Due Process. Disenfranchisement. There are side issues of ignoring a SCOTUS order and not following state constitutions. Some states’ rsults may be set aside, lowering the bar for a House decision.
Powell, Wood and other various individual litigants will pursue issues of fraud and illegality.
Meanwhile, the progs will give their own side ample cause for buyers’ remorse. Infighting is already in progress.
“...then hope that there will be enough spines there to overturn the fraud.“
Yes, that is what worries me - because OF COURSE there won’t be enough spines.
But one thing that makes me hopeful again is that this fraud is SO huge.
If it is as huge as they are saying it is, the weak-kneed Republicans will have no choice - spines or no spines. In fact, their lack of spines might actually work in our favor - once the American people see what is really happening - they won’t have the guts to screw the people out of a fair election.
The Republicans - even RINOs - will be given one chance to distance themselves from the corruption by pointing fingers at Democrats. I think this is why Sidney Powell is going off on her own - Team Trump is going to make this about Republican vs. Democrat.
Sidney Powell is going after the big fish which includes some Republicans - and that’s great - but that isn’t the message Team Trump wants to send right now - they want it to be about Democrat election officials depriving Republicans of equal protection.
Listening to Rush now. Sounds like he expect Biden will be installed. (He didn’t say that directly)
Is it over?
Here are simple principles I believe in:
- The Bible is the divinely inspired word of the one and only true god,
- Our Constitution is a document the likes of which never existed in human history, and therefore, the founders of our nation received divine inspiration in drafting it and forming this great nation
- DJT’s election, against all odds, in face of well-organized and well-funded opposition by MSM, deep state, Rats and Repugs, was mathematically and politically IMPOSSIBLE without divine intervention which was answer to prayers of the majority of Americans.
- The Bible teaches us that blessed are those who bless Israel.
- Israel is 70+ users old, but it took divine intervention, in the form of presidency of DJT, to put our nation’s embassy in the heart of Israel
- The placement of US embassy in the heart of Israel is symbolic unification of the only two nations on earth backed by the divine.
If you disagree with any of the above, stop reading right now. You won’t like what comes next.
My conclusion:
Faith, prayer, and reason dictate that we abandon the RINOs, the MSM, even the well-funded and wealthy Limbaugh and the RINOs running for Senate in GA.
We are the majority, and we need to start acting like it. The Repug party must either be gutted, or destroyed.
The fist casualties in this war will be the two corporate-owned RINOs running in GA.
