Desperate Dems Want Don McGahn to Become John Dean

RUSH: Are you ready? We are ready, set, revved, and ready to go. Three hours broadcast excellence straight ahead right here at the EIB Southern Command behind the Golden EIB Microphone, Rush Limbaugh. 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program. And email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us.

So Mr. Snerdley and my brother think that I ought to just replay the entire interview from Fox last night, the interview with Martha MacCallum on The Story. It was originally set up as an eight- to nine minute segment. She said, “Yeah, it’s gonna be our longest segment of the night.”

I said, “Do you realize that I don’t finish clearing my throat in the first five minutes.”

“Okay, well, we’ll stick with eight to nine minutes, see how it goes.” The show starts, “No, we’re gonna do 15.” I said, “Okay.” And it ended up going 20 minutes. So to play the whole thing, I mean, we got plenty of time to do that. There are excerpts from it as well. And we’re gonna get to that, but I first want to start here with the president.

The president and first lady left the White House not long ago walking across the street lawn to the helicopter to catch a ride out to Joint Base Andrews to board Air Force One to fly to Atlanta where there’s some sort of symposium on the opioid crisis. And, as usual, the president stopped to chat with the media. And he was on fire. And the subject that came up has to do with the subpoenas.

Do you remember in the Mueller report it said that White House counsel Don McGahn, who, by the way, spoke to the special counsel for 30 hours — what more can this guy possibly have to say? But he spoke to the special counsel for 30 hours. This is the guy that Trump supposedly — by the way, John Dowd, the lead lawyer for Trump in this whole sordid tale is denying that Trump ever ordered Mueller to be fired by anybody, including McGahn. And we’ve got that coming up.

Anyway, the Democrats want to subpoena McGahn, and the White House is gonna oppose all the subpoenas on the basis of executive privilege and the fact that it’s time for this to end. We’ve had two and a half years of this. We’ve had $35 million dollars spent. There are gazillions of pages. There are hours and hours and hours of interviews. There’s nothing new that could be learned here!

Except the Democrats, you know why they want to talk to McGahn? Why do you think they want to talk to McGahn? Two words is answer. It’s a person. John Dean. They can’t get Watergate out of their heads. The Democrats are not original. Everything in their playbook is a replay of past glory and past glory to them is getting rid of Nixon.

Quick, what was Nixon’s middle name, Mr. Snerdley, just a little — that’s right. Milhouse. Good for you. They got rid of Nixon, the media too, they proved they can do it. So they want to prove to themselves they can do it again. Have you noticed all the times that Watergate is used as a point of comparison to this? And of course there isn’t anything similar. Watergate agents from Nixon actually did bug the Democrat National Committee headquarters and left evidence that they had been there. Nixon didn’t know it at the time, but then he found out about it and tried to cover it up, but there’s nothing similar.

There’s nothing similar whatsoever, unless you want to start talking about what Hillary Clinton did and the Democrat National Committee did and the Obama administration did. If you want to compare anything, you compare those people to Nixon and Watergate, but not Trump! Trump didn’t do anything! They’ve looked at Trump with a fine-tooth comb for over three years now. The effort to deny Donald Trump the nomination and the presidency and then to force him out, three phases.

They have looked at everything. They don’t have anything. As I cleverly pointed out in the past, we may have inadvertently elected the most uncorrupt person to be president of the United States who could have been elected in this country if you want to know the truth of it. So, no, they want to talk to McGahn, they’re gonna subpoena McGahn because they think he is John Dean.

John Dean, White House counsel who spilled many of the beans on Nixon during the Watergate hearings. And because they have lost the ability to innovate in the Democrat Party and because there is nothing original anymore, they have no choice but to go back to the playbook and try to replay games that they’ve already won. It would be like the Pittsburgh Steelers thinking the way to win the Super Bowl this year would be to go back and do the exact same thing they did in 1980 or any other previous Super Bowl winning team.

The Democrats are stuck in the past, particularly in ways, means, techniques to get rid of rivals. So Don McGahn, who has nothing in common whatsoever with Dean other than having held the same job, they want to talk to Don McGahn. You know what? All of this is so, so ironic, but I want you to hear the president as he was chatting with the press today.

Let’s see. We’re gonna start audio sound bite number 1. This is on the White House lawn. An unidentified reporter said, “What do you plan to do about the subpoena, Don McGahn, and other subpoenas?”

THE PRESIDENT: The subpoena is ridiculous. I thought after two years we’d be finished with it. No. Now the House goes and starts subpoenaing. They want to know every deal I’ve ever done. Now, Mueller, I assume, for $35 million, checked my taxes, checked my financials, which are great. I read where they interviewed 500 people. I say it’s enough. Get back to infrastructure, get back to cutting taxes, get back to lowering drug prices.

RUSH: In other words, get back to doing the work of the country and for the American people. But that’s not what the Democrats want to do, and there’s a very simple reason. There are two reasons. A, they still can’t get over the fact that this guy beat them. They can’t get over the fact that somebody like this is in the White House. They can’t get over the fact that this guy snookers them at every turn. They can’t get over the fact that as seasoned conspiratorial veterans of the Washington swamp, they can’t outsmart this guy, and so they continue to try to outsmart the guy.

The second reason is they don’t have any winning policies. They’re gonna give away everything. That’s not winning. That’s not policy advantage. We’re gonna give away college tuition. we’re gonna forgive student loans, Medicare for all, we’re gonna give away this. They can’t even begin to get serious at the policy table. And so to avoid having to do that, they focus on all this other stuff. You know, you Democrat voters out there, you’re watching the epitome of selfishness.

These people that you’ve elected to represent you are not doing that, except for those of you that are also consumed with an undefinable hatred. They’re not representing you. They’re not advancing your causes or your ideas. They’re sitting there simply trying to satisfy their own egos by getting rid of somebody they hate and somebody that they’ve convinced you to hate. You talk about a political party letting down its people? The Republicans are one thing, but the Democrats are using every one of you voters.

They’re not doing one thing to advance what you really want, no matter how perverted it is. They are so focused on get rid of Trump just to prove they can do it! So now they want to subpoena all these records because they think somewhere somebody’s missed something. Good grief! Robert Mueller had 15 lawyers on his investigative team who hate Donald Trump! Many of them were donors to Hillary Clinton’s campaign and to the Hillary Clinton foundation.

Practically all of them were Hillary Clinton voters! You think if there were dirt to be found on Trump, this bunch would have found it? Instead, the lead Hillary lover and Trump hater, Andrew Weissmann, quit the Mueller team 30 days before the report. Does anybody wonder why? Has anybody asked — have you asked yourself (I have) — why did Weissmann quit 30 days before? And if you think it’s because the work was done, I don’t think so. “Oh, yeah, Rush. They had other job opportunities, and they had to get…” No, no, no.

The job opportunities for this sordid mess are gonna be there whenever they want them. That’s already assured. Weissmann didn’t have to quit 30 days before the report was issued in order to get the next job. That’s not why he quit. Why do you think Weissmann quit? Just think about that. Now, I’m not gonna answer it, because as usual when I say something, there’s nothing left to be said, and I don’t want to shortchange any of you who might want to weigh in on this. But the idea… Trump’s point is — the idea — after all of this time and all of this money and all of these witnesses, what do they think there is to find?

Where did this start? This started with Russia collusion. There’s no mention of it. It didn’t happen. The obstruction has obviously kind of gone by the wayside. Yep, it hangs by a thread. Now with Don McGahn, who they’re desperately hoping… We’re down to this? They need to find the John Dean. I wonder. Mr. Snerdley, a quick question. What are the odds, what are the percentages that Nadler and this bunch are simply bluffing with these demands, these subpoenas? (interruption) You don’t think they’re bluffing here? (interruption)

If there was any dirt to be found on Donald Trump, it would have been dredged up. What more can they look into that has not been looked into? For crying out loud, the Mueller investigation was actually an attempt to find a crime! There was no crime specified! The Mueller report and investigation… Well, the investigation was an effort to implant and embed spies in the Trump campaign because there weren’t any. They couldn’t even find a way to make up a crime that they thought would stick, much less find an actual crime or an impeachable offense. Here’s the next bite, Trump talking about the only reason the Democrats are doing this…

THE PRESIDENT: We’re fighting all the subpoenas. Look, these aren’t like impartial people. The Democrats are trying to win 2020. They’re not gonna win with the people that I see, and they’re not gonna win against me. The only way they can maybe luck out — and I don’t think that’s gonna happen. It might make it even the opposite; that’s what a lot of people are saying. The only way they can luck out is by constantly going after me on nonsense.

RUSH: Well, that’s what they have decided to do. They certainly don’t want to talk about the economy, and you’ll note the Drive-Bys don’t want to talk about the economy. It’s the one topic nobody wants to get close to. The value… You ready for this statistic? The value of all stocks since Trump has been in office, the value of all stocks has gone up $9.4 trillion. And if you say, “Well, that’s stocks, Rush. I don’t have any stocks. That doesn’t affect me.” Well, I beg to disagree.

If you have a 401(k), if you have a pension, if you have any kind of a retirement plan that you’re part of, I will guarantee you that it is invested in stocks, and so that is something that is relevant to many more people than might think so. But that’s an extraordinary accomplishment. All of these economic accomplishments are extraordinary, and that’s exactly why they’re not being mentioned. Now Trump talks about renewing his claim here to drain the swamp.

THE PRESIDENT: If you want to litigate, go after the DNC, Crooked Hillary, the dirty cops, all of these things. That’s what should be litigated, because that was a rigged system, and I’m breaking down… I am breaking down the swamp. If you look at what’s happening, they’re getting caught, they’re getting fired. Who knows what’s gonna happen from now on, but I hope it’s very strong. But if you look at drain the swamp? I am draining the swamp.

RUSH: Well, he’s telegraphing what his desire is, he’s telegraphing what his intention is, and he’s certainly signaling that he thinks he has gotten started. And a lot of the swamp dwellers that were part of the FBI investigating team trying to find a way to make it look like Trump had colluded with Russia have indeed been fired. They have indeed been sent packing. So he is right about that.

“Desperate Dems Want Don McGahn to Become John Dean”

Oh, so the Dems want McGhan to marry a prostitute with whom he was sleeping, so that she couldn’t testify against him WRT an impending sex scandal, and then contrive a plot to cover up everything by blaming the POTUS?

“The Break-Ins: What Really Happened

The clue to solving this mystery begins with a woman known as Maureen Elizabeth Kane Owen “Mo” Biner. “Mo” was the wife of the far more famous John Dean: one of those responsible for the espionage at the Democratic National Committee and mastermind of the subsequent cover-up.

...

Maureen was the author of Mo: A Woman’s View of Watergate. Its a real turd of a book, devoted mostly to her love for John and what the people at the centre of the Watergate scandal were wearing. For the discerning reader, there is one part of interest: a wedding photograph with a woman called “my very dear friend Heidi”. We don’t read much at all about this dear friend elsewhere in the book. That is because “Heidi” was in fact Erika “Heidi” Rikan, a.k.a. Cathy Dieter: a notorious DC stripper at Washington’s Blue Mirror Club, a madam, and mistress of the mafia boss Joe Nesline.

Rikan and Maureen Biner were roommates and long-time friends. In all likelihood, Biner was once a prostitute. Before dating John Dean, she was the girlfriend of the notorious deviant and sexual blackmailer Bobby Baker. He once tried to compromise John F. Kennedy by setting him up with the East German spy Ellen Rometsch.

The truth is that the break-ins at Watergate were entirely the result of a sex scandal involving a DC call-girl ring. Larry O’ Brien’s office was not even the main target.

In 1971, a call-girl operation was set up in the DNC’s Watergate offices and nearby Columbia Plaza by Phillip Mackin Bailey. Bailey was a Washington attorney known for representing prostitutes. With his amassed contacts, somewhere along the line he began pimping. Its a good business in Washington. Bailey set up the DNC operation at the request of Biner’s dear friend “Heidi” Rikan. Her lover, Nesline, was also linked to a sexual blackmail operation run out of the Georgetown Club involving the Korean intelligence agent Tongsun Park and the CIA agent Ed Wilson. Both appeared in Rikan’s address book.

Bailey arranged for a secure telephone line between the Watergate offices and Rikan’s operation, where the clientele could hear a description of all the girls available. For this they used the office phone of the frequently-absent Democratic Party employee R. Spencer Oliver. It was in the desk of his secretary, Ida Maxine Wells. A key to this desk was found in the possession of the Watergate burglar Eugenio Martinez when he was arrested on June 17th, 1972, only to be kept in the National Archives until this very day.

Bailey was arrested on account of his sleazy activities only days after the initial Watergate burglary. One of the Assistant US Attorneys who investigated Bailey’s ring, John Rudy, later testified in a different case that he had evidence tying R. Spencer Oliver to Bailey’s call-girl ring. He claims he was told by his superiors to suppress it because it was politically explosive.

Rudy also uncovered an address book listing all of Bailey and Rikan’s girls and clientele. It included the name and contact details of a woman they dubbed “Clout”. This was a name used for Rikan’s dear friend Maureen Biner. Biner was by this time dating John Dean. Hence, she was political “clout”.

The first Watergate break-in was actually masterminded by the chief executive of the infamous White House Plumbers, G. Gordon Liddy, as well as John Dean, simply to get sexual dirt on the Democrats. Such operations had been planned and done before. In October 1971, John Dean ordered a White House security advisor, John Caulfield, to investigate a recently-busted call-girl ring in New York to see if any Democratic politicians happened to be clients. In January of the next year, Liddy proposed something called ‘Operation Gemstone’. ‘Gemstone’ aimed to spy on the Washington headquarters of Ed Muskie and George McGovern, as well as the site of the Democratic National Convention – the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami. The Fontainebleau was also connected Meyer Lansky and the Syndicate, and prostitutes were expected to be at the convention. Operation Gemstone proposed recruiting prostitutes to help videotape convention attendees in compromising positions.

Nixon certainly did not order the break-in. The legendary lawyer James F. Neal, prosecutor of the Watergate Seven, did not believe this was the case. He cited Nixon’s surprised reaction to news of the burglary on June 23, 1972 when he asked his aide, Harry Haldeman: “who was the asshole that did it?”

Dean very quickly married Biner, asking Haldeman for some very brief time off to do so. A wife cannot be forced to testify against her husband, after all.

The second break-in was planned by John Dean, who needed to find out if a picture and contact information of “Mo” (his own nickname for her) was in the desk if Ida Maxine Wells.

Wiretaps transcripts exist of the conversations that took place over the phone in Oliver’s office, but they have been sealed by a federal judge. Philip Mackin Bailey spent the rest of his life in and out of mental institutions.

IOW, “Watergate” all began because Mo Dean was a prostitute that John Dean was screwing, and John Dean needed to cover that up.

Yeah, there were a lot of interesting relationships then, since and into the present. Lots of dirt, on ALL sides.

But Deep Throat may not have actually been:

“...Watergate seems almost like a jolly college prank.

Ben Bradlee happens to agree. As the former executive editor at the Washington Post said to his friend Jeff Himmelman in Yours in Truth: A Personal Portrait of Ben Bradlee:

“Watergate … achieved a place in history … that it really doesn’t deserve. … The crime itself was really not a great deal. Had it not been for the Nixon resignation, it really would have been a blip in history.”

Not only that, Bradlee went on to express his doubts about much of Woodward and Bernstein’s account of the story:

“Did that potted palm thing ever happen? … And meeting in some garage. One meeting in the garage. Fifty meetings in the garage … there’s a residual fear in my soul that that isn’t quite straight… I just find the flower in the window difficult to believe and the garage scenes…

If they could prove that Deep Throat never existed … that would be a devastating blow to Woodward and to the Post. … It would be devastating, devastating.”

Witnesses say that Bob Woodward became highly stressed when he heard what Bradley told Himmelman, and repeated the statement about “a residual fear… that that isn’t quite straight” countless times to himself. Woodward tried to get Bradlee to withdraw his statements. He even threatened legal action to prevent Himmelman from publishing them. It didn’t work. Far more people really should have heard the words of Bradlee.

There may indeed have been a Deep Throat in the form of Mark Felt. But we now know – thanks to Max Holland’s great work in Leak: How Mark Felt Became Deep Throat – that the man was no hero. Felt was not motivated by his conscience or a sense of justice. He simply wanted to get back at Nixon for not appointing him as J. Edgar Hoover’s successor. He also wanted to bring down the outsider and squeaky-clean L. Patrick Gray to protect the FBI’s ‘turf’.

It seems to me that the obsessive focus on the identity of Deep Throat distracted the public from the more important questions raised during Watergate. For the Washington Post and the Pulitzer Committee, there is the important matter of the unethical and flagrantly illegal methods used by Woodward and Bernstein in the course of their work. This was discovered years before Felt revealed himself.”
