RUSH: This is John in Stephanie, Connecticut. Great to have you with us. Hi.
CALLER: Hey, Rush, it’s Bethany, Connecticut, not Stephanie, Connecticut.
RUSH: What is it?
CALLER: Bethany.
RUSH: Bethany. Okay. Mr. Snerdley misheard you. I’d never heard of Stephanie, Connecticut, either.
CALLER: Yeah, me neither. Well, it’s probably I got a crappy phone, but… My point is why isn’t the simple answer for everyone who wants to talk about Russian interference in the 2016 election, the simple answer should be, “Ask Obama. He was the president. He was in charge. It was his power that had the last say in everything.” Why doesn’t anyone ever want to blame him, and why isn’t that the simple solution for every conservative’s blanket answer?
RUSH: Well, you know, you’re getting ahead of something that I intend to come up anyway here, so let me get started on the transition. I want to go back, if you remember not long ago I played a sound bite from Michael Mukasey, former Judge Mukasey. He was attorney general for a while under George W. Bush.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is uh John and Stephanie Connecticut. Great to have
you with us. High Hey, Rush, it's Bethany Connecticut, not
Stephanie Connecticut. What what is it? Bethany Bethany? Okay, Mr
Mr Sturnley, mishurt you. I've never heard of Stephanie Connecticut either,
but well it's probably I got a crappy stone. But
my point is is, why isn't the simple answer for
(00:22):
everyone who wants to talk about Russian interference in the election,
The simple answer should be ask Obama. He was the president,
he was in charge, it was his powers that be
that had the last day and everything. Why isn't it
Why doesn't anyone ever want to blame him? And why
isn't that the simple solution for every Conservatives? Well, you're
(00:44):
you're getting ahead of something, and I intend to come
up anyway here, So let me let me get started
on the on the transition. I want to go back,
if you remember, not long ago, play the SoundBite from
Michael Casey, former judge Mcasey, and he was Attorney General
for a while under George but Bush. And he pointed
out that the first lie of the mull of the
first line of the Muller report is a line that
(01:07):
the investigation began when George Stephanopolos got drunk at a
bar and totally ambassador from Australia to Russians had dirt
on Hillary Clinton. That's not when it began. Now, that
was the end of July two thousand sixteen. Long before that,
Barack Obama had been talking about Russian intervention in the
(01:27):
election and pooh pooing it. Well, you're you're exactly right.
Obama had been talking about the fact that it would
be impossible to rig a United States presidential election. The
reason that Obama was doing this was because the Democrats
were hearing, uh getting getting messages rumbles from the Trump
(01:51):
administration that the Trump administration Trump campaign was suggesting that
the Russians were trying to help the Hillary camp pain
and that the Russians might be involved in some things.
And this is what caused Obama to go out and
pooh pooh the idea he was he was basically trolling Trump.
(02:12):
But this is long before July two thousand and sixteen.
But you are absolutely right that everybody involved in this
coup or scandal has direct ties to both Obama and
Hillary Clinton. Okay, our last caller from Stephanie, Connecticut. How
(02:33):
could you how could you not hear about how could
you think that a town was named Stephanie? You asked,
you mean the caller confirmed and it was Stephanie. All right.
Caller threw snartily into the No, the caller threw me
under the I'm the one who said Stephanie, Connecticut. You
(02:56):
didn't get thrown under the bus. I did. But see
that's I take the hit. I'm on the front lines.
I never complain or blame highly overpain overrated staffers. That's
part of being the guy. You take the hits, you
get the acclaim, you also take the blame. No problem
that it doesn't happen much Stephanie Connecticut. I mean, it's
(03:19):
what it's set up there. So I I could have
just said Connecticut, none for and I thought about that
for a brief split second. His point was, all this
talk of collusion, all that will no matter what you're
talking about, it all happened while Obama was president, All
of this investigation, this coup, when it all happened when
(03:40):
Obama was president. And that's exactly right. And this has
long been a question that all of us just how
high up. Does this go now? You and I, let's
be honest, we don't have any doubt that Obama is
in on this and aware of it. And some of
you may in fact believe that Obama was behind it,
(04:01):
the energy and the impetus behind it. Some of these
people were doing things that if they were going rogue
and a president doesn't know some of these things are
going on and finds out about it, heads would roll.
I mean, there are legacies to be concerned with, there's
the Constitution to be concerned with. But not only were
(04:24):
they not stopped, they are still being encouraged. Every one
of these operatives, even the people have been fired, are
still writing books. They're still out trying to shape the
narrative on this. And by the way, just as an asside,
they're more and more people now beginning to ask. And
I'm glad because I think this is stunning and shocking
(04:47):
the fact that not one media person, not one has
sought to find the real story here, that everyone of them,
hundreds of them, became complicit. These are people that normally
are standing guard vigilantly against government overreach, government reach into
(05:12):
civil liberties violations. These are the people that facilitated civil
liberties violations. They helped it. In fact, folks, in point
of fact, if you want to get down to brass
tax on this, this could not have happened without the media.
If the c i A, If Brennan and Clapper and
(05:32):
Come at all had not had the media, they could
not have pulled this off. And I don't just mean
from the standpoint that, uh, the media didn't look into them.
They actively needed the media as sympaticos. They needed the
media as members of the army. They needed media as
(05:57):
members of the operation. It's not just the media didn't
try to expose what they were doing. It's that the
media was the army. And if that weren't the case,
this wouldn't have gotten nearly as far as it did.
I think it's safe to say that this coup could
not have happened without the media. And now people are
(06:21):
starting to realize this, and they're starting to take note
of just what really happened here, that there was not
one attempt by anyone in the legacy the mainstream media
that attempted to get any of this right. More and
(06:44):
more people are referencing this in the tweets and story
and I am happy to see it. Now. I ran
across the piece that was sent to me by a
good friend over the weekend from the Federalist, and it's
written by h A. Goodman. That's a long piece. Will
link to it at Russia limba dot com. That the
headline is this John Durham, which is BARS investigator? Who
(07:09):
is Bars investigator? John Durham needs to investigate why the
information generating the Muller probe is all linked to Hillary Clinton.
At a certain point, it cannot be mere coincidence that
every major figure involved in probing Trump's campaign is linked
(07:32):
to Hillary Clinton in some manner. Now, his point was Obama,
but I think Obama and Hillary are inseparable. Here. The
FBI had a budget approaching ten billion dollars during Comey's
tenure as its director. Combined with the budgets for the
c i A and the n s A, these agencies
(07:54):
cost taxpayers around thirty billion dollars annually. Now that may
seem cheap, it may seem less than you would think.
The c i A Black ops budget alone, nobody knows
what it is. CIA owns airlines, the c i A
owns all kinds of things. Ten billion dollar budget for
(08:14):
the CIA, but it will go with the number thirty
billion combined FBI, c i A, n s A. Therefore,
one would think that incriminating evidence derived from the FBI,
n s A or c i A could have linked
Trump to Russian hackers or crimin operatives. If that evidence
(08:36):
existed for thirty billion dollars, you could find it. Thirty
billion dollars in the best of the brightest, with that,
you could find it. Instead, almost all the major findings
used to justify investigations into Trump's campaign or linked to
Hillary not the CIA's work, not the n s a's work,
(09:00):
not the FBI's were pretty much every major finding led
by the dossier. Pretty much every leak that the New
York Times and CNN in Washington Post ran came from
somebody associated with Hillary Clinton. The heads of America's top
(09:21):
intelligence agencies used a dossier link to Clinton funding a
tech firm outsourced by the d n C. This would
be Fusion, GPS and CrowdStrike. They used hearsay from Alexander Downer,
the Australian ambassador who is a donor to the Clinton
Foundation and an associate of same. The evidence leading up
(09:47):
to the Mueller probe was so specious that the Department
of Homeland Security, in the Office of the Director of
National Intelligence reports that were compiled by Clapper and others
had warrantied disclaimers. Pray and Trump was investigated based on
intelligence linked to statements like quote, Department of Homeland Security
(10:07):
does not provide any warranties of any kind regarding any
information contained within and quote. Judgments are not intended to
imply that we have proof that shows something to be affect.
That's why every story on this in paragraph thirteen reference
the fact that none of this had yet been proven,
(10:30):
but all of the evidence that came from intelligence agencies
did come with disclaimers that I just read you. William
Barr has hired prosecutor John Durham to investigate the origins
of the Mueller investigation. A key issue for Durham to
resolve is why the inciting information never originated within the
(10:56):
US government. Why has the funding for Democrats, along with
other blatant conflicts of interest being ignored by Comey, Clapper,
and Brennan. Although an estimated seventy percent of intelligence budgets
go to private contractors, these private companies work with classified
material and their workers hold security clearances. Fusion GPS, the
(11:19):
firm Clinton the Democrats hired to compile the Steel dossier
did not provide the FBI classified intelligence. In fact, the
Steel dossier still unverified and anyone can read it within
the BuzzFeed article that publicized at all CrowdStrike. The third
party tech firm the d n C hired to analyze
its servers instead of the FBI did not provide the FBI,
(11:42):
the CIA, or n s A any classified intelligence from
their investigation of the server, since the d n C
is a private entity that never allowed U s intell
agencies near its servers. The words nothing that came from
official work of the CIA or the FBI or the
(12:03):
n s A actually ended up in this investigation. It
all came from people or firms associated with Hillary Clinton. Comey,
for example, never used intelligence derived from US sources to
initiate or justify investigations into Trump's campaign. All the information
(12:24):
that Comy, Clapper, and Brennan used to justify investigating Trump
was data linked to Clinton or Democrats in some manner.
During a Fox News interview with Bill Hemmer, William Barr
explained that initiating a counter intelligence probe from the Steele
dossier was very unusual. Can you tell us about the
(12:47):
Steele dussie what role did it play? Bar? Well, that's
that's one of the questions. We're gonna have to look at.
Very unusual situation. To have opposition research like that, especially
one that's on its face, had a number of clear
mistakes and somewhat June analysis, and to use that to
conduct counter intelligence against an American political campaign would be
(13:08):
strange development. I'm not sure what role it played, but
that's something we're gonna have to look at. Emmer, do
you smell a rat in this? Bar? I don't know
if I describe it as a rat. I just say
the answers I'm getting are not sufficient. Durham will no
doubt investigate the intent behind these decisions and the true
reasons America's intelligence agencies outsourced virtually all of the evidence
(13:31):
against that. That's the key Clapper brand. They were outsourcing
everything to the Brits. They're outsourcing everything to to steal
to Fusion GPS. Everybody they outsourced it to was linked
to Hillary Clinton, folks. Everything, every aspect of this, None
of it came from legitimate FBI or CIA investigations. In
(13:53):
other words, even struck Strokes, Mark, and Page were clued
into the things they did by tip offs and guidance
from the Clinton campaigner people therein At a certain point,
it can't be mere coincidence that every major figure involved
in probing Trump's campaign is linked to Hillary Clinton in
(14:14):
some manner. Christopher Steele, desperate to prevent Trump from being president,
was paid a hundred and sixty grand by Democrats before
he compiled as dossier. Democrat National Committee lawyers met with
FBI officials before a surveillance warrant was granted, raising questions
as to why the FBI would meet with a political
(14:35):
parties lawyers yet not informed Trump that his campaign was
under investigation. Fusion GPS, the firm that hired Steele, was
paid by money from Hillary Clinton and the d n C,
and funneled through a law firm to compile the Steele dossier,
not the FBI, not the CIA, not the n S A.
(14:55):
Clinton allies gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to the
political campaign of Andrew McCabe wife. Yet the former FBI
Deputy director only recused himself from Clinton's email probe one
week before the election CrowdStrike. The only entity to analyze
the claimed d n C email hack was outsourced and
(15:16):
paid by the Democratic National Committee. Australian diplomat Downer informed
the FBI of a conversation with George Papadopoulos. Or down
stated that Trump campaign official was given information by a
Russian operative about the d n C emails. Downer is
not even mentioned in the Muller report, was never interviewed
during the Muller probe, and is linked to the Clinton Foundation.
(15:39):
And yet the opening line of the report says that
it all began with Papadopoulos telling down her about the
point goes on in this piece, and it's very good,
and it's one of these pieces. Nothing in this is new.
I mean, I'm going through the rush. We knew that
would have heard that. The point is Mr Goodman's come along,
(16:03):
and later blatantly stated that everybody involved here running this
coup was somehow tied to the Clinton campaign, not officially, FBI,
not officially. C I A not a fit and these
people didn't do any counter intel investigation there own. They
were just working with each other, setting Trump up in January,
(16:30):
telling him the Golden Shower story from the dossier that
was to get it as news on CNN and then elsewhere.
Back to the phones, Henderson, North Carolina, this is a lamar.
Great to have you, Lamar. How are you doing, sir,
Hey Rose, good to talk to you. Hey. I think
it's pretty clear if you delve into it a little bit,
why Mueller doesn't want to testify, and that's because of
(16:51):
a couple of questions he can't answer. Uh. He never
expected an attorney general bar to be appointed, and so
his kind of fallback plan if he couldn't find uh
slam dunk case to challenge the O o LC guidance
and and diet Trump anyways, was to float this language
in his report, with the O l C guidance being
(17:14):
the excuse where he's got two parallel paths going. He
did not accuse Trump of any wrongdoing. And then aside
from that, he puts all of this O l C
guidance language implying that that's the reason, but he never
actually explicitly says that's the reason. It's kind of like
if I were to tell you, Rush, we just got
to the beach, but you can't go in the water
(17:35):
because of the bacteria, the sharks and the riptide and
then somebody comes up later and ask you, Rush, why
didn't you go in the water, and you say, because
I can't swim. One had nothing to do with the other, right, So,
but he wants it to appear that way. And you
can see this battle going on between bar and Mueller,
back and forth, and Barn knows what he was up
to the whole time. So he asked him that question
(17:58):
explicitly in the March fifth meeting and had him admit
in front of witnesses that the OLC guidance is not
the reason that he did not indict Trump or try
to or accuse him of any wrongdoing. And from there
on it's been a battle back and forth. So Mueller
followed up with that whiney letter in March complaining about
the characterization of Bars letter, and then, uh, you know,
(18:22):
he had he had his press conference after that, and
the d o J had to follow that up with
another statement saying, hey, these two statements are let me
let me jump in over for a second, because it's
not quite this complicated. Let me once again put this
through the complexity synthesizer. The Mueller team had nothing, ever,
(18:47):
they never had any evidence of collusion. They had to
manufacture the illusion or illusion of UM obstruction and then
reference it because what they were doing from the get
go was preparing think of the Mueller team as the
House UM impeachment lawyers. That's what they have done. They
(19:12):
have tried to create a case for Democrat House managers
to use in impeaching Trump. Mueller doesn't want to testify
because he doesn't doesn't want to have to answer questions
the Republicans would ask about the things he ignored.
This is uh John and Stephanie Connecticut. Great to have
you with us. High Hey, Rush, it's Bethany Connecticut, not
Stephanie Connecticut. What what is it? Bethany Bethany? Okay, Mr
Mr Sturnley, mishurt you. I've never heard of Stephanie Connecticut either,
but well it's probably I got a crappy stone. But
my point is is, why isn't the simple answer for
(00:22):
everyone who wants to talk about Russian interference in the election,
The simple answer should be ask Obama. He was the president,
he was in charge, it was his powers that be
that had the last day and everything. Why isn't it
Why doesn't anyone ever want to blame him? And why
isn't that the simple solution for every Conservatives? Well, you're
(00:44):
you're getting ahead of something, and I intend to come
up anyway here, So let me let me get started
on the on the transition. I want to go back,
if you remember, not long ago, play the SoundBite from
Michael Casey, former judge Mcasey, and he was Attorney General
for a while under George but Bush. And he pointed
out that the first lie of the mull of the

and funneled through a law firm to compile the Steele dossier,
not the FBI, not the CIA, not the n S A.
(14:55):
Clinton allies gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to the
political campaign of Andrew McCabe wife. Yet the former FBI
Deputy director only recused himself from Clinton's email probe one
week before the election CrowdStrike. The only entity to analyze
the claimed d n C email hack was outsourced and
(15:16):
paid by the Democratic National Committee. Australian diplomat Downer informed
the FBI of a conversation with George Papadopoulos. Or down
stated that Trump campaign official was given information by a
Russian operative about the d n C emails. Downer is
not even mentioned in the Muller report, was never interviewed
during the Muller probe, and is linked to the Clinton Foundation.
(15:39):
And yet the opening line of the report says that
it all began with Papadopoulos telling down her about the
point goes on in this piece, and it's very good,
and it's one of these pieces. Nothing in this is new.
I mean, I'm going through the rush. We knew that
would have heard that. The point is Mr Goodman's come along,
(16:03):
and later blatantly stated that everybody involved here running this
coup was somehow tied to the Clinton campaign, not officially, FBI,
not officially. C I A not a fit and these
people didn't do any counter intel investigation there own. They
were just working with each other, setting Trump up in January,
(16:30):
telling him the Golden Shower story from the dossier that
was to get it as news on CNN and then elsewhere.
Back to the phones, Henderson, North Carolina, this is a lamar.
Great to have you, Lamar. How are you doing, sir,
Hey Rose, good to talk to you. Hey. I think
it's pretty clear if you delve into it a little bit,
why Mueller doesn't want to testify, and that's because of
(16:51):
a couple of questions he can't answer. Uh. He never
expected an attorney general bar to be appointed, and so
his kind of fallback plan if he couldn't find uh
slam dunk case to challenge the O o LC guidance
and and diet Trump anyways, was to float this language
in his report, with the O l C guidance being
(17:14):
the excuse where he's got two parallel paths going. He
did not accuse Trump of any wrongdoing. And then aside
from that, he puts all of this O l C
guidance language implying that that's the reason, but he never
actually explicitly says that's the reason. It's kind of like
if I were to tell you, Rush, we just got
to the beach, but you can't go in the water
(17:35):
because of the bacteria, the sharks and the riptide and
then somebody comes up later and ask you, Rush, why
didn't you go in the water, and you say, because
I can't swim. One had nothing to do with the other, right, So,
but he wants it to appear that way. And you
can see this battle going on between bar and Mueller,
back and forth, and Barn knows what he was up
to the whole time. So he asked him that question
(17:58):
explicitly in the March fifth meeting and had him admit
in front of witnesses that the OLC guidance is not
the reason that he did not indict Trump or try
to or accuse him of any wrongdoing. And from there
on it's been a battle back and forth. So Mueller
followed up with that whiney letter in March complaining about
the characterization of Bars letter, and then, uh, you know,
(18:22):
he had he had his press conference after that, and
the d o J had to follow that up with
another statement saying, hey, these two statements are let me
let me jump in over for a second, because it's
not quite this complicated. Let me once again put this
through the complexity synthesizer. The Mueller team had nothing, ever,
(18:47):
they never had any evidence of collusion. They had to
manufacture the illusion or illusion of UM obstruction and then
reference it because what they were doing from the get
go was preparing think of the Mueller team as the
House UM impeachment lawyers. That's what they have done. They
(19:12):
have tried to create a case for Democrat House managers
to use in impeaching Trump. Mueller doesn't want to testify
because he doesn't doesn't want to have to answer questions
the Republicans would ask about the things he ignored.
