RUSH: I want to take an opportunity today to delve into the positive and the affirmative. There’s way too much negativity out there, folks. It’s way too easy to get caught up in it. It is intended for you to get caught up in it. The negativity in the Drive-By Media and the people, as I say it, write the daily script for the soap opera that is what we think of as news coming out of Washington primarily, but nationwide, is designed to depress you. It’s designed to dispirit you. It’s designed to make you despondent.
What it really is designed to do is to make you put your hands up and say “I quit,” and you are to eventually get so fed up that you just tune out, you give up your passion for politics and national affairs, particularly if you’re a Trump supporter. That’s the long-term objective of the work of the Drive-By Media on you. On Trump, of course, the objective is to get rid of Trump.
But while all this is happening, there is amazingly positive and uplifting and encouraging news. And, by definition, the Drive-By Media, they’re reporting it. It is not being heralded. It’s not being trumpeted. It’s not being focused on. There are no cable TV news network panels assembled to analyze it or discuss it. No, instead, the news is so good that the Drive-Bys had to create a new meme and narrative over the weekend to distract everybody from it, and that narrative is that Trump is going to fire Mueller before Christmas.
Jackie Speier, Democrat congresswoman, California, wherever she’s from, actually said that she has heard from high sources that Trump is gonna fire Mueller by Friday. That’s all it took, the Drive-By Media picked up with it and ran with it and it became the narrative for the weekend, and it remained the narrative of the morning as the news continued to break. That was the bombshell intended to distract you from the real news. All the ginned up hysteria about Trump gonna fire Mueller before Christmas.
The media and the Democrats are trying to portray this as a coup. They’re trying to portray this as Trump acknowledging his guilt and is taking a preemptive strike against the special counsel to derail the investigation, plus he’s gonna pardon Flynn. And this was out there for a day and a half or two days, and it survived into the morning. And then Trump finally came out, “I’m not firing Mueller.” By the way, with half the country thinking Mueller’s investigation’s a sack of garbage, why would he fire Mueller?
There isn’t any evidence that Mueller has anything on Trump anyway. Mueller’s so off the rails, she’s having to go back and look at emails that he supposedly acquired legitimately from the Trump transition team. What does any of this have to do with collusion between Trump and the Russians, which was the predicate for starting all of this.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Now, the media, folks, is counting on people like you being too busy with your Christmas shopping to really be paying that close attention to what’s going on in the news. But for those of you who are, the actual news is actually the opposite, almost the opposite of what’s being reported. For instance, the Drive-Bys keep claiming that Trump is pulling out all the stops to try to discredit Mueller and his team. Trump isn’t doing that. Mueller is. Mueller’s own team is discrediting itself.
Why, even George Will — who hates Trump. George Will wrote a column last week. Trump is the worst president in American history, George Will wrote. He has a piece out today or maybe a comment somewhere, I don’t know. Maybe he was on TV commentary. I forget where it was. He said or wrote that he can’t understand how such a responsible guy with so much integrity as Bob Mueller would put this many anti-Trumpist, pro-Hillary people on his investigation team. He just can’t understand it, can’t believe why that would happen.
Trump isn’t discrediting Mueller. Trump doesn’t have to discredit Mueller! Mueller is discrediting Mueller and all the people that work for him are discrediting this investigation. From this Ohr guy — Bruce Ohr — to Strzok, to Andrew McCabe, to the mistress, to the Weissmann, whatever the number one aide to Mueller is. I mean, these people are as corrupt as the day is long, and if there’s any… The Drive-Bys are trying to say Trump is actually running a coup against Mueller. Do you believe this? When in fact, it is the opposite. It is Mueller and his team discrediting themselves.
Now, the latest way that the Mueller team has discredited itself was revealed over the weekend. We learned that the Mueller people got tens of thousands of emails from the Trump transition team that had been stored by the General Services Administration, and they’ve had them for a while, and they have been interviewing people on the basis of these emails that no one knew they had. Donald Trump Jr. had a 20-minute meeting and has had 20 hours of interviews with this team of people, and that’s just one example.
The emails included privileged communications, including lawyer-client communications, and the Mueller team did not have permission from the owners of these emails to get them. Now, Mueller’s saying, “No, no, no! Everything’s on the up and up.” Well then why are we only just now learning that you had access? They were not gotten via warrant. It required some illness on the part of the people running the GSA before Mueller found somebody that would turn this stuff over to him.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: So right now, folks, we’re living in a country where the most pressing question in the Drive-By Media is, “Will Trump fire Mueller?” The focus should be on Mueller and not Trump. Asking Trump if he’s gonna fire Mueller is an attempt to pressure and bully Trump into a no-win situation, because if Trump fires him, riots in the streets and who knows what other kinds of things will happen. If Trump doesn’t fire Mueller, it’s a green light for Mueller to be unaccountable and unstoppable.
About the only thing Trump can count on here is that by survey, 50% of the people in the country think what Mueller’s doing is bogus and are not believing anything about this investigation that they’ve heard, but the other 50% do. Given this last email grab from the transition team, Mueller’s demonstrated that he doesn’t have any evidence of Trump colluding with Putin, which is what this is all about — and this is the thing that ought to be of stark reality to everybody. The only reason for this investiga…
Well, the only perceived reason for this investigation is because of a supposed great concern that the Russians were able to hack our precious and delicate election systems. And the Russians were able to steal an election away from the woman who was supposed to win it, and instead they stole it for Donald Trump, and we need to get to the bottom of this, because this represents one of the greatest penetrations of American security in the history of America. This is horrible and it’s terrible. If the Russians have found a way in, we need to find out.
That was the reason for all of this! The media, the Democrats got everybody all worried that our elections have been corrupted, that they’re not legitimate, that the Russians can, at will, get in and pick whoever they want to win. A bunch of low-information voters hear that, and it duly scares them, as it should scare anybody if such a charge were ever serious. But there’s never been any evidence of it, and after over a year of intense investigation, there still isn’t.
And that was the entire reason that was given to the public for this investigation. Now, the truth is, as far as Justice Department guidelines are concerned, it was not the reason given. There was no crime specified for Mueller to track down, on purpose and by design. So Mueller is free to go look at whatever he wants to find any crime he can wherever it exists, and he’s got a license to do just that. There isn’t a shred of evidence on collusion. I read over the weekend…
You know, there are still some conservative blogs who apparently believe Trump colluded, and they’re just now questioning the possibility that he didn’t? Conservative blogs — supposedly conservative blogs — are actually now beginning to write as though may be this whole thing didn’t happen. Conservatives! Now, granted, they’re Never Trumpers. But it is the height of intellectual stupidity to think after this much time that there is a “there” there.
Mueller isn’t even looking at that. Maybe with this acquisition of all these transition team emails he thinks there’s gonna be some smoking gun in there. The people that have had access to these emails in the GSA, you don’t think the deep state knows what’s in these things? But again, it doesn’t matter what’s in them. It’s what is supposedly in them based on what leaks appear in the media. So we’re not grounded in reality here in anything at all.
If somebody wants to leak that there’s a bombshell here, they can do it, and the Drive-Bys will dutifully publish it, and we will never know what it is. Nothing will never come of it because there isn’t a bombshell. If there were, it would have already surfaced, because, believe me, the entire Washington establishment has arisen each day out of bed looking, hoping, praying that that day is the day they find incontrovertible proof that Putin stole the election and then hopefully did it with the help of Donald Trump.
So the Mueller panel is out of control. But everybody’s focusing on Trump and how out of control Trump is. “Trump’s gonna fire Mueller before Christmas!” That becomes news that disguises everything else.
Give them enough rope————
The obvious question is why, if Mueller was above board, would he seek to cover up the Strzok misconduct after he found out about it?
Because it went from an investigation to a vendetta and now it is a coup attempt.
Evil always overplays its hand.
“Jackie Speier, Democrat congresswoman, California...... said that she has heard from high sources that Trump is gonna fire Mueller by Friday. That’s all it took, the Drive-By Media picked up with it and ran with it......”...
An old Clinton trick, the “power of suggestion” and it works every time. Say it once, the news picks up on it, repeats it and it becomes “gospel” be it fake news or not. Once said, people will believe it.
“Evil always overplays its hand”.
That’s an excellent point.
Best advise
Mueller crossed the discredited line long ago
Looks like he punched through the self incrimination barrier too
They believe it because they are stupid and ignorant
Eric Holder says he is going to take to the streets. I wonder if they have some GOODS on him, that he was NOT really JUST.
Mueller is engaging in tactics that he asserts the Russians engaged in: hacking, leaking, double-dealing, colluding, etc.
Just 2-3 weeks ago there was a vague NYT article about how Mueller had bungled the Anthrax investigation and this or that in the past, and I was like “is the NYT cautioning us about a Mueller scandal ahead of time we do not know?”... Well there it is, media orchestration.
Mueller worked with Russians when Bush FBI invited the FSB to discuss terrorism and “sharing” intel.
The FBI is filled with 2 face Russia colluders and spies
Holder is a known criminal. He attacked & helped take over Columbia University academic offices armed with weapons.
You would be hard pressed to find a more immoral and unethical prosecutor in America than Weissmann. He is so corrupt and unethical that the Supreme Court overturned one of his cases by a vote of 9-0; almost unheard of in the court. Justice Scalia tore apart the arguments and exposed the illegalities that Weissmann had engaged in so completely that one of the justices remarked that they overturned the case "with pleasure." But not before Weissmann had destroyed 80,000 jobs at Arthur Anderson worldwide in the process.
The illegal seizure of the Trump Transition Team emails (tens of thousands of them) from GSA is pure Weissmann. So was the "no knock" 2 am raid at Paul Manafort's home, even though he was fully cooperating with investigators. So was the tactic (that a judge outrageously bought) that forced Manafort's attorney to release attorney-client privileged conversations to the Mueller team.
So the current theory goes that if Mueller is really "working" with Sessions and Trump, he hired Weissmann to expose him? Really? You give a henchman and out of control psycho like this full power and access to almost anything he wants - no matter what illegal means he employs?
That argument is akin to allowing a rapist and murderer into your daughter's bedroom, so that you can keep an eye on him.
NSA leaks tape of Mueller and Obama phone call:
OBAMA: “It’s taking too long to take Trump down. What’s the holdup?”
MUELLER: “I cant help it if all the Democrats’ wrongdoing comes up everywhere I dig.”
OBAMA: “Dont you understand? If Trump unseals my record, I’m finished getting rich quick off my foundations. And besides Michelle will kill me.”
MUELLER: What are you complaining about? I’m looking like the biggest incompetent in L/E trying to help you guys out.”
OBAMA: “You’ve got to do more. There’s stuff in my records that’ll finish me. Those SOB American patriots would love to get their hands on my background.”
MUELLER: “ Cripes, you sound like you were a Kenyan male escort before you got into politics.”
OBAMA “Aint no money in dick-licking. The real money is in politics.”
“...and now it is a coup attempt...”
It was always a coup attempt.
IMHO
Speaking of evil, I wonder who called off the anti-fa fags.
