The Big News Everyone Missed: Brennan Acknowledged They Were Spying on the Trump Campaign
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | May 24, 2017 | Rush Limbaugh

RUSH: I was thinking last night: If only we had Barack Obama or John Brennan around to call up these guys and warn them about the consequences of meddling in elections. Obama said he told Putin to “cut it out” and Brennan said yesterday that he told the Russians to stop it.

Meddling in our elections. Too bad these guys have never called terrorists and told them to stop meddling in elections, because that’s who really is meddling in elections in the U.K. and in France. And there is far more evidence of ISIS doing election meddling than there is of Russia. The Russian meddling, by the way, has now been reduced to charges of Russian online trolls retweeting questionable stories about Hillary. They’re slowly distancing themselves from the narrative that the Russians colluded with Trump and that the Russians hacked the election.

They’re trying to distance themselves, and you’ll hear how. It’s even worse than I thought yesterday in terms of the fringe lunatic base of Democrat voters really having bought into all this and believing that… In fact, Al Franken! Al Franken had to go on TV or somewhere and tell his supporters that Trump will not be impeached this month. Trump will not be impeached this month. He had to back them off. They have been expecting Trump to be impeached ever since it was announced that Comey was gonna go up there and testify, which has also been delayed.

Now, speaking of our vaunted intelligence services, did you hear Obama’s CIA director, John Brennan yesterday told a House committee that he was concerned that the Russians might be able to turn some of Trump’s people — in other words, corrupt them — and convert them into spies for the Russian Federation. That’s what, Brennan said, the CIA and the NSA had to monitor them. Now, to me, this is new. This is Brennan. This is the Obama administration suggesting they were worried the Russians were gonna convert a bunch of dimwitted Trump associates into spies.

Therefore, they were so worried about that that they had to start monitoring everybody in case that had happened. Who are we talking about here, that the Russians might turn? One of them is a United States general who was the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency. That would be Michael Flynn. Michael Flynn was also an adviser to Obama. And we’re talking about Carter Page, a Naval Academy graduate who is an associate of Trump way, way out in the periphery. Those are the two people that Brennan said the Obama administration was worried the Russians might turn and convert into spies.

This is the same John Brennan who voted for the Communist Party candidate for president in 1976, Gus Hall. You know when it sounds like to me, folks? It sounds to me… When you read between the lines of what Brennan was saying these past couple of days, it sounds to me like Brennan acknowledged they were spying on the Trump campaign and individuals in it.

I think that’s the story, that’s the news, and the unmasking of people that they were spying on? This is not about the Russians. This is about Obama’s administration spying on Trump starting last July, and all of this is a giant construct to deflect attention from what was happening at the Obama administration to make everybody focus on what the Russians were supposedly doing.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Did you hear yesterday in all the double-talk that Brennan was using, he said that there was no evidence of any collusion, but there was a basis to start a CIA-FBI investigation. Now, what would the basis be if there’s no evidence? There’s no evidence, but there was a basis. No evidence! He’s just the latest in a long line of officials in the intelligence community, in Congress, and the Obama administration who say there’s no evidence of collusion.

Trump asks Russia to hack Hillary's emails

Trump-Russians? No evidence the Russians tampered with votes. But there was a basis to start an investigation. Do you know what it was? Do you know what it was? Trump’s joke! When Trump said/put out a call, “Hey, Russia, maybe you can find 30,000 emails by Hillary Clinton that nobody can’t find…” That joke. I kid you not! That joke and the dossier that was totally made up, like Trump hire prostitutes to urinate on the bed that Obama slept it in Moscow. Those two things are the bases to start all of this. Trump telling a joke.

I’ve told you the left has no sense of humor, and they don’t. And I’ve seen it a thousand times! People on the left really believe that Trump was sending a message to the Russians to hack Hillary’s server. We were way past that when this happened. Hillary had already done something with 60,000 of her emails. Thirty thousand she turned over to the State Department; 30,000 she deleted. She said they were irrelevant, but they were somewhere.

Kim Dotcom was saying he had ’em or could get ’em. Everybody was wondering where they were. Trump, at a press conference, made a joke, a typical Trump joke, “Hey, Russia!” It’s the kind of thing I would do, and I laughed myself silly. That is one of the bases for starting this whole cockamamie thing. By the way, in all these leaks of Trump phone calls, why aren’t there any leaks of Trump phone calls and collusion with Russia?

Leave it to RUSH to get to the real story. I agree with him, it’s all about Obama’s abuse of power.

And the cucks in the republican party fell for it, hook, line and sinker.

“It’s especially not reported from the drive-by media”.

None of the leaders of Trump’s GOP Congress seem to care either. It the tables were turned, we would be in the middle of a united firestorm of anger from Pelosi, Schumer, the mainstream press, academics, and social justice warriors. From the GOP we get crickets. I suppose Ryan and McConnell are too busy figuring out which K street corporate lobbyists to shake down for next year’s election.
