RUSH: So McConnell doesnt have the votes, eh? He doesnt have the votes to stop any witnesses, doesnt have the votes. That was the big news that broke late yesterday afternoon; everybody ran with it. When what McConnell said was he didnt have the votes yet. Of course, Senator McConnell is very sly, very crafty, and I think its maybe a bit of misdirection. Time will tell. Of course, there continues to be this mad dash, quasi-panic about whether or not John Bolton should be called to testify.
You know, one of the ways of looking at this and there are many is that no matter what happens here, at some point the president is going to be acquitted. There just arent going to be the votes to convict the president. That is not gonna happen. So anything that happens between now and then, you have to ask, Whats the purpose? I mean, does everybody ? Do all these senators want to prolong this for what could be months, when they have a full awareness of what the outcome is going to be?
Of course, the answer for the Democrats is dirty up the acquittal. Thats what I said yesterday. Make it seem uber-partisan. Make it seem unfair. Make it seem purely political and not based on the evidence. Thats what they are attempting to do and, of course, this ought to be perceived by the presidents team. They ought to understand whats going on here. But there is this You know, even on our side, there are all these different competing theories and explanations and philosophies being explained as to why itd be okay to let Bolton come in here.
Go ahead, let Bolton come in and testify! You can limit the scope of his testimony. You depose him first. One theory is you depose him. You let the Senate Judiciary Committee Now, wait. The Senate Hell, whichever Senate committee is involved in this. Let them depose him for four hours, and then the theory is stipulate. The presidents team stipulates as to what hes gonna say. In other words, stipulate that what Bolton said to the presidents true, and by stipulating it, you eliminate the need for Bolton to testify.
You limit the scope of Boltons testimony to stipulating the point. This happens in court constantly. So you let Boltons deposition to take place, allow four hours for it, then you stipulate to it and then theres no need to call him because youve agreed. The Democrats will raise holy hell because thats not what they want Bolton in there for. They want they want Bolton to start asking They want to be able to ask him all kinds of open-ended questions about Trumps personality and Trumps habits and things that he saw.
This, of course, is one of the primary reasons to keep him out of there, as far as Im concerned. As I said yesterday toward the end of the program, its frustrating because youve got so many people here caught up in the process of this and wanting to be involved in it in either direct or ancillary ways because its historic. Its gonna be in all the history books for the rest of time, and a lot of people want to have their names attached to it, either agreeing or disagreeing with the procedures that were taken with the legal teams and how they did it.
So it provides an opportunity for fame. It provides an opportunity for being noticed. It provides an opportunity for job offers down the road from other, like, law firms or legal concerns and so forth. Theres a lot of people with a lot of interest in this that couldnt care less what the outcome is. Now, as for me, this is no more complicated today than it was when it began. Its bogus. It needs to be shut down and ended as quickly as possible.
In fact, weve got the most incredible sound bite here. I gotta find it (it was earlier) from Da Nang Dick. Yeah, Da Nang Dick. Grab audio sound bite number 5. This is Richard Blumenthal. He is that senator from Connecticut who lied about the fact that he served with honor and valor in Vietnam when he was never there. Of course, the guy gets elected to the Senate from Connecticut.
And that never does fall back on him. But the guy lied through his teeth about something as crucial as military service heroic, valorous military service. It was all made up, and yet there he is as a credible Democrat in the U.S. Senate because people in Connecticut elected him. So yesterday on Capitol Hill, he was speaking to reporters about the impeachment trial and said this
BLUMENTHAL: What you just saw was a fact-free summation of a case bereft of evidence. We need the evidence. We need the witnesses and documents.
RUSH: (Snort!) The guy just admitted that everything theyve seen heretofore presented by the House managers had no evidence in it. He just admitted it! What you just saw was a fact-free summation of a case bereft of evidence. So what the hell is it doing there, then? (summarized) Its a fact-free summation of a case bereft of evidence. We need the evidence. We need the witnesses; we need the documents. Maybe there arent any. Maybe there arent any witnesses. Maybe that arent any documents.
If the House of Representatives and their managers didnt find any, if they just presented a case bereft of evidence, why go on? See, this is what frustrates people like you and me about Washington. This is a slam dunk. The guys admitted theres no evidence yet thats been presented in however long this thing has gone on. So you and I, filled with common sense, ask, Why is it happening? Why doesnt some adult stand up and shut it down? What possible ?
Can you imagine any trial where the prosecution finishes and one of the prosecution lawyers stands up well, a supportive member of the jury stands up and says, You know? So far, we havent heard any evidence. The defense needs to put on some evidence here. The defense needs to go out and find some evidence for us. This is absolutely insane, and then I balance that. Thats exactly as I think its happened. They dont have any evidence, the House managers. Zilch, zero, nada.
There hasnt been an impeachment offense Trump committed that anybody can identify. There wasnt any collusion between Trump and Russia. The Kavanaugh stuff was a bunch of lies and made up. There isnt anything in the past three years in terms of any allegation or charge that Democrats in the media have made that have any facts. Theres nothing to them. There is not a shred, and so thats why we need to continue? This is as bogus as a You remember this? There was something that was given birth during the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill fiasco.
Anita Hill comes forward and makes her charge that Clarence Thomas abused her, put a pubic hair on a Coke can or some such thing. There was no evidence. He said/she said. There was never any evidence, and what was the Democrat response? The Democrat response was, Well, the nature of the evidence is not whats important here. Its the seriousness of the charge. Well, what does the charge matter if there isnt any evidence?
Tom Foley was speaker of the House for the Democrats back in 1990 when some idiot professor at Columbia published a book claiming that George H. W. Bush flew to Paris in an SR-71 (the Blackbird spy plane) to meet with the Iranians to arrange the deal that they would keep the hostages until Reagan was elected and then let em go. There was no evidence. Never any evidence. Bush wasnt there! Foley said, The seriousness of the charge mandates that we conduct an investigation.
So heres Da Nang Dick admitting that hes just watched a summation that is fact free. He has watched the House managers essentially do a fact-free summation of a case bereft of evidence. We need the evidence. (paraphrased) Therefore, we need the defense to stipulate to calling more witnesses, because we on the prosecution side havent found anything. I wonder why more people on our side are not reacting as I am or as you probably are to this revelation. But we all know why.
Its a historical process taking place, Mr. Limbaugh, and its very, very important that we batten down all the hatches and cross all the Ts and dot all the Is and make sure that at the end of this, theres no doubt the president is innocent and theres no doubt this was bogus. Call as many witnesses as they want. Democrats dont run the Senate, and why they think They dont have the majority. Why they get to run this place is another gigantic, frustrating thing. Somebody tell me where Im wrong. Maybe Im not seeing this. Maybe Im not understanding what Da Nang Dick is saying.
Play Da Nang Dick again. Audio sound bite number 5. Three, two Maybe Im misunderstanding this.
BLUMENTHAL: What you just saw was a fact-free summation of a case bereft of evidence. We need the evidence. We need the witnesses and documents.
RUSH: (Snort!) Yeah, I heard it right. The prosecution has not come up with the evidence cause there isnt any. The prosecution hasnt come up with any documents because there arent any. And precisely because Schiff and his shiftless crew have failed, somehow its up to the presidents lawyers to say, Okay. You want more witnesses? Call witness! You want more documents? Heres some more documents! Lets go back one sound bite previous. Chuck You Schumer this morning on Capitol Hill still begging for four turncoat Republicans.
SCHUMER: I remain hopeful that four Republican senators will join us in supporting witnesses and documents in this trial. Its an uphill fight, as Ive always said. But the public is on our side, and truth, above all, is on our side.
RUSH: The public is not on your side! You know, I saw theres a poll: 75% of the American people want witnesses. You know how bogus that is? There is not an American citizen who thinks a trial doesnt need witnesses. This is such Its a setup question. You go out to John Q. Public. Theres a trial going on in the United States Senate. Do you think there should be witnesses in the trial? Hell, yes, there ought to be witnesses in every trial. So 75% say witnesses against Trump is what this poll result means!
Its not what it means at all. The American publics not in favor of this. Have you seen the Trump rally last? Did you see any part of the Trump rally? Did you see 100,000 people outside the event last night in 30-degree weather in New Jersey? Joe Biden cannot fill a Starbucks. Joe Biden cant fill a coffee shop. It is astounding. Even though they knew they could not get in, they waited outside. They wanted to be seen.
They wanted the cameras to catch em so that their show of support could be documented. Meanwhile, in the Senate trial of Donald Trump, half of the spectator seats were empty. During this massively, so historically important event, half the seats were empty when the House managers the Democrats presented their case. Ill tell you, folks, the contrast here of swamp Washington, and the rest of the world even New Jersey is jarring.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: So you know what the impeachment fights really all about? The Democrats do not want voters meddling in the 2020 election. They dont. They do not want you having anything to say about the election. They think the election will be rigged if you vote. Only if they prevent voting well, if they take Trump off the ballot. Thats the only way the election can be fair, cause otherwise you will meddle. You will meddle in the election. Youll reelect Trump, and that cannot be permitted.
In this video, Bolton told an entirely different story.

No, not a screw loose in this POS. He’s a whole screw-making factory explosion disaster.
I just wish one of those screws would ... You fill in the “wish”.
This man is a psychopath and should be in jail for his “Stolen Valor Act” violation.
In the alternative, he should be in a loony bin where they weld the door to his cell shut, forever.
The dick is just that, I think he is a sleestack
Hint to Chuckie: My wife is furious that General Hospital has been off the air for so long. If it goes past Friday, she may drive to Washington and give Chuckie something to think about. Over two and a half million viewers don't agree with little Chuckie. How many more people just want this farce to stop already?
If Blumenthal is sounding like Finestein this may be the reason. But note the reaction by a party official to a suggested campaign direction which is policy and what it might suggest.
