As Democrats and the major media attack Attorney General Jeff Sessions and push claims of the Kremlins influence on the Trump administration and Russian interference in the presidential election, one of the nations most prominent conservatives insists there really is a huge scandal.
But not the one the media are reporting.
Rush Limbaugh said the real scandal is that a silent coup is underway against President Trump.
There is the execution of an attempt at a peaceful coup, said the radio talk show host on Friday. A peaceful coup to oust Donald Trump is what we are witnessing. Its been orchestrated by Obama and the Democrat Party. Its that simple.
Limbaugh said if the media were not so irrevocably left wing, that the effort by an outgoing president to undermine his [successor] using intelligence agencies would be a bigger scandal than Watergate, because thats whats going on here.
He said the coup is so monumental that, I think even I, ladies and gentlemen, didnt quite see the full scope of what is going on here.
Nor did he think Democrats were merely trying to cause Trump irritation.
I think what is happening here is a full-fledged effort here to deny Trump the actual control of governing, of the government, by leaving so many Obama career people appointed, by going so slowly on confirming Trumps cabinet appointees and other lesser bureaucratic positions that remain open and havent been filled.
The claim of a peaceful coup might be supported by the report that, Obamas goal, according to a close family friend, is to oust Trump from the presidency either by forcing his resignation or through his impeachment.
The source also told the Daily Mail that Obama loathes Trump and considers his presidency illegitimate.
The claim of a silent coup also would appear to be supported by the 64 ways the press has reported former President Obama is sabotaging Trump that WND listed on Friday.
Asserting, This coup, this silent coup that is taking place is real, Limbaugh said President Trump was wrong when he tweeted on Thursday that Democrats were engaged in a total witch hunt.
The conservative icon explained, This is not a witch hunt thats going on here, and Democrats know exactly what theyre doing. They know exactly what theyve got. The Obama administration left all this stuff in place for them to use. Its not a witch hunt.
Limbaugh was referring, among other things, to reports that the intelligence community under the Obama administration claimed there were contacts during the presidential campaign between Trump associates and Russian officials. And that, despite the fact that the nature of the purported contacts remains unknown, they could have somehow influenced the election and the incoming administration. And that the New York Times has reported that Obama White House officials scrambled to spread information about the alleged contacts and took steps to ensure that as many people as possible inside government could see the intelligence.
Thats why Limbaugh reiterated, It is not a witch hunt. Theyre not blindly hoping they find things as they open doors. They know whats behind the doors. They put the stuff there!
Which is s why, he said, it appears the Democrats are still running the show. Thats why it appears, even though the Republicans and Trump won the election, if you pay attention to Drive-by news, it looks like the Democrats are running everything.
Limbaugh said the Democrats are also still determining the daily news narratives even though they lost, have been decimated as an electoral force and have become a party thats just flailing.
But inside the Beltway they are the power, and theyre doing everything they can to delay and forestall Trump actually assuming control over his administration and over the government.
Getting to the heart of the matter, Limbaugh explained, In other words, theyre trying to deny the presidency, the full force and the full capacity of the presidency is whats being denied to Donald Trump.
And while thats happening, here come all of these allegations and all of these attempts to force everybody close to Trump to resign or recuse or hide or whatever in total embarrassment.
Limbaugh suggested its all the result of fake news.

That included the assertion that the Russians worked with Trump to hack the election, to interfere and to deny Hillary what was her rightful election to the presidency. And theres no evidence for this. They havent still found any evidence because there isnt any because it couldnt have happened.
But, since everything in this story is fake news, everything about it is fake news, there never will be any evidence to this.
Limbaugh said even though that news is so fake it cannot be proven, it has still become a powerful weapon.
[T]heyre never gonna be able to find the evidence to prove that there was this kind of cooperation between Trump and his campaign and the Russians to screw Hillary. It just doesnt exist. Theyre never even gonna be able to prove that the Russians succeeded in altering what was to have been a Hillary win. They will never be able to prove that because it didnt happen.
But, he continued, thats the foundation under which or on top of which all of this is being built.
That included accusations against Sessions that caused the attorney general to recuse himself from whatever investigation the Justice Department might conduct into Russian influence on the election and the administration.
Everything virtually everything that has led to Jeff Sessions recusing himself from whatever investigations there are into the Russians hacking the election is fake news, asserted Limbaugh.
He added, Jeff Sessions should not have recused himself. Hes got nothing to be defensive about. He didnt do anything wrong. He certainly should not resign, which is now what the Democrats are asking, which was predicted.
Democrats have accused Sessions of misleading Congress when he twice said in his confirmation hearings that he did not meet with the Russian ambassador during the campaign. But the attorney generals defenders have pointed out the questions were asked about Sessions activities as part of the Trump campaign, not as a senator.
Limbaugh noted, The questions that Al Franken was asking Senator Sessions during his confirmation hearings were based on a fake news story, that now-famous dossier made up of totally fraudulent, phony allegations about Trump such as hiring prostitutes to urinate on the bed in the Moscow hotel that Obama and Michelle had slept on. Totally false, fake.
The talk show host also pointed out that on one of the two occasions Sessions spoke with the ambassador, it was at a conference he attended at the invitation of the Obama administration. And that this Russian ambassador has been to the White House countless times, as ambassadors do.
Furthermore, the ambassador has met with Obama over 20 times. Do you know that the Russian ambassador, with whom all of these Trump people are talking about rigging the election do you know that this ambassador was at Trumps speech to the joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, and he was seated with the Democrats? Do you know that hes one of the best friends of Chuck Schumer?
Limbaugh suggested it is the previous administrations links to the Kremlin that should be investigated, because, if theres any sabotage going on here, it starts with Barack Obama and the Russians.
He noted that in 2012, shortly before the presidential election, Obama was meeting with Putins number two, (then Russian President) Dmitry Medvedev. Theres an open mic and Obama was overheard and this was reported You tell Vladimir that Ill have a lot more flexibility after the election.
The talk show host explained, What he meant was, Look, after I win the election, I cant run again. Im not gonna have to worry about ever running again so I can do all kinds of stuff; Ill be much in more flexible.
The conversation was about reducing United States nuclear weapons. Not reducing Russias nuclear weapons. It was about reducing the United States stockpile, and Obama told Medvedev, You tell Vlad Ill be a lot more flexible after the election.
Limbaugh said, putting all the pieces together, We are witnessing right in front of our eyes a silent coup to unseat and render effectively immaterial Donald Trump as president of the United States.
The real Russian scandal is the collusion between Barack Obama and his administration and the Russians. Obamas team used the pretext of Russian interference in the election to justify wiretaps and illegal leaks of the Trump team, including a U.S. senator and now attorney general. What has really gone on here and I just want to repeat what I said in the opening of the hour, because it wasnt happenstance, and I mean it.
If you want to get the big fish(es) you go after the smaller fishes first?
Exactly! Obama never was eligible to be president. Someone needs to expose his true citizenship.
Hussein Obama got away with ANYTHING he wanted because
no one wanted to buck the FIRST African American Muzzie
President. HOWEVER, we the American people have had ENOUGH
of Hussein’s antics. He is no longer cute.
Agree. The President needs to go on a firing spree.
In addition, he needs to gather his loyal officers to him, and unleash them on a mission to prosecute and jail every criminal in a position of power in the government.
Not a dittohead but this is a must-listen!
Rush sums up what has been happening and why. It makes sense.
Of course Trump and his team know all this and more and have for a long time. DO NOT sell them short.
..at least 75% of house and Senate republicans are enemies too.
“Limbaugh said even though that news is so fake it cannot be proven, it has still become a powerful weapon.”
The Democrats learned from “AGW” aka; “Climate Change” how to make this work.
There were numerous scandals waiting worse than Watergate during Clinton and Obama’s reign
Without a drumbeat from the MSM NONE exist
He should also present evidence of his allegations that Obama wiretapped Trump Tower.
The narrative at the moment in social media and elsewhere is that the president has gone full crazy. “No evidence” is the current mantra being repeated ad nauseam. The president had better have a knockout blow ready for his enemies. This is a fight to the death, really.

The Democrats are interfering with the new Sheriff in town. There are laws governing the interference of police, and sheriffs in the performance of their duties. It seems to me there are laws as well for interfering in the duties of the President of the U.S.A. It’s past time to start fighting back.
In today’s environment of Gender Identity and you say what you “identify with,” Obama still identifies himself as “president.”
Yes, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Trump needs to follow up on this. He can't just tweet that the former President of the United States bugged his namesake tower and then move on to other business. Because, either Trump has gone batshit crazy or Obama needs to seriously consider retaining legal counsel.
This is not a coup. This is a seditious and treasonous undermining of the rightfully elected sovereign government by a group of bandits and thugs. A coup is a ‘blow’ literally, knocking off the government to emplace your own ruler. Or maybe it is, since it is the ex president’s intention to continue to rule.
Obozo has obtained legal counsel and her name is valrie jarret. She will be living with him!
Heh....true.
They were forced to go to plan B.
