\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: You go to the media and they\u2019re just obsessed with Trump.\u00a0 They just are beside themselves with this. \u00a0“Trump has endangered American national security.\u00a0 Trump is close to having committed treason.” \u00a0Seriously, I\u2019m not just trying to be outrageous for the sake of it, which I never do, by the way.\u00a0 When all of a sudden did they start caring about this?\u00a0 These are the people with unsecured servers. These are the people whose servers have been hacked by the Russians.<\/p>\n

The Democrat National Committee, the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense, the ChiComs, the Russians, are attacking our cyber networks, and they\u2019ve succeeded.\u00a0 It\u2019s only common sense to assume that they hacked Hillary\u2019s private server in the basement of Chappaqua.\u00a0 I\u2019m gonna try to explain this, what Trump did and what he meant, again.\u00a0 I did yesterday.\u00a0 I was the first to properly characterize this as sarcasm.\u00a0 You know, what Trump was doing was vintage EIB, illustrating absurdity by being absurd.<\/p>\n

Okay, so what\u2019s the absurdity here? (snorts)\u00a0 You can\u2019t name just one.\u00a0 Let\u2019s go down the list.\u00a0 Hillary Clinton had 60,000 emails, she says, on a private server she set up (which we now know was against guidelines and was probably a violation of the law) in the basement of her home in Chappaqua. And we know that she did this to escape any kind of scrutiny and to avoid having to comply with Freedom of Information Act requests.<\/p>\n

And she did this to hide activity which we already know she was engaged in, and that is selling her future presidency to foreign donors to the tune of $100 million or more via the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative.\u00a0 She was selling access.\u00a0 She didn\u2019t want there to be any proof it.\u00a0 She wanted there to be no way anybody would be able to prove this. That\u2019s why it didn\u2019t happen at the State Department on their servers.<\/p>\n

Okay, so there\u2019s 60,000 emails, we learn of the server. “Oh, my God, what\u2019s going on there? Is national security at risk?”\u00a0 It\u2019s a legitimate question in this case.\u00a0 Democrats told us at the time, “No, no, no. There\u2019s no national security concern here.\u00a0 We\u2019re talking Hillary Clinton.\u00a0 She\u2019s a super patriot! We have nothing to worry about.\u00a0 In fact, Hillary\u2019s gonna go through all those emails, and she\u2019s gonna turn over the relevant ones to the State Department,” which meant about 30,000 were turned over — and the other 30,000? They are gone, folks.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s key.\u00a0 This is key to understanding all of this.\u00a0 Those 30,000 emails are gone, and the servers have been wiped.\u00a0 Remember when somebody asked Hillary in the media, “Well, what did you wipe the server?”\u00a0 “Oh, you mean with a cloth,” she said, Sarah Palinesque.\u00a0 So they\u2019re gone.\u00a0 But we\u2019re told there was nothing to see anyway, which is why they\u2019re gone.\u00a0 They have nothing to do with anything but yoga lessons and Chelsea\u2019s matrimonial configurations such as the rehearsal dinner and the wardrobe and the registration and all these other things.<\/p>\n

It\u2019d just be boring to anybody to see, and Mrs. Clinton wanted to spare us all that, so she just dumped those.\u00a0 But then, since all of that happened, we\u2019ve had the FBI director come out and basically say that everything that Hillary Clinton did here is suspicious, that much of it is illegal, and that the only reason she wasn\u2019t prosecuted is that they couldn\u2019t find any evidence of intent.\u00a0 But they found all kinds of evidence of negligence and so forth.<\/p>\n

She was clearly trying to hide things.\u00a0 There are 30,000 emails.\u00a0 There are hacks that we know have taken place all over the place, and so the assumption is that her server among all these various servers would have been the easiest to hack.\u00a0 There have been repeated efforts for years to get to the bottom of this, and every effort has been met with a stonewall by the Obama administration and ultimately the FBI and the Department of Justice.<\/p>\n

And we were treated to a press conference by Director Comey of the FBI where he basically listed what would have been on an indictment had she been charged and she could have been and should have been but wasn\u2019t because they couldn\u2019t find any real intent.\u00a0 The real reason she wasn\u2019t charged is the FBI director didn\u2019t want it on his head.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t want to be the one person to take action that would have eliminated a major party\u2019s presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

His view was the voters should do this.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t even want to go there.\u00a0 But he made it clear in that press conference that there is illegality piled on illegality piled on suspicion. It just kept piling up, and everything about this creates more and more questions — all related to what?\u00a0 National security.\u00a0 Now, moving forward to the timeline, we then learn the Democrat National Committee servers have been hacked, and it is WikiLeaks that releases the evidence, the emails that have been hacked.<\/p>\n

And we found out that the Democrat National Committee was working to deny Crazy Bernie Sanders the Democrat nomination.\u00a0 We learned the Democrat Party had rigged its primary.\u00a0 We knew it because the evidence was clear day to day when they were scheduling debates on Saturday nights when nobody watches. Crazy Bernie was winning state after state after state, and yet Hillary\u2019s delegate count was increasing after every loss.\u00a0 And we had the superdelegates.<\/p>\n

So we knew the fix was in.\u00a0 We knew that this was gonna be a Hillary coronation.\u00a0 We knew that Bernie Sanders was never, ever gonna be the nominee. But his supporters didn\u2019t.\u00a0 His supporters thought it was legit.\u00a0 His supporters thought he was on the way to winning.\u00a0 His supporters thought he could have.\u00a0 His supporters vastly preferred him to her.\u00a0 But then we all learned that Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz and the rest of the DNC were rigging the game, guaranteeing that Bernie Sanders would lose.<\/p>\n

How did we learn this?<\/p>\n

We learn it from a hack.<\/p>\n

Who, were we told, was responsible for this?\u00a0 Vladimir Putin and the Russians. \u00a0So we\u2019re just sitting here minding our own business and we are absorbing what we\u2019re being told by the media and by the Democrats and by the Regime, and that is that the Russians had hacked the DNC. All these cyber experts, paper after paper, blog post after blog post, story after story suggests that it was the Russians who did this.\u00a0 And the Russians left evidence — maybe some of it on purpose, maybe some of it accidental.<\/p>\n

<\/a>We were told there were two different Russian cyber teams leaving evidence.\u00a0 We were told of Guccifer 2.0.\u00a0 Guccifer 1.0 was the original hacker from Romania.\u00a0 We were told that Guccifer 2.0 was actually a creation by the Russians to deflect attention from them.\u00a0 But we knew. We knew it was the Russians.\u00a0 So far Donald Trump hadn\u2019t said a word here, but what we all know.\u00a0 We know what we know because of the Drive-By Media, the Democrat Party, and the Regime.<\/p>\n

The Russians hacked the DNC server and the hack produced emails that showed they rigged the game of their own primary.\u00a0 Donald Trump hasn\u2019t had a word to say about it.\u00a0 He hasn\u2019t at this point had anything to do with it.\u00a0 Well, he\u2019s commented on it, like we all have, but he\u2019s got no culpability here.\u00a0 He was not involved in helping the DNC stack the deck against Crazy Bernie.\u00a0 He just commented on it as it was happening, \u2019cause we all (with common sense) could see it.<\/p>\n

But the questions persist.\u00a0 Hillary says there aren\u2019t any more emails to produce.\u00a0 She says there\u2019s nothing to see anyway because they\u2019re all personal.\u00a0 She destroyed them.\u00a0 She destroyed the server.\u00a0 No one else seems interested in discovering them, despite all the facts of the DOD, the DOJ, the DNC.\u00a0 But people do want to know what she destroyed.\u00a0 She was running for president.\u00a0 What was on there?\u00a0 Is she selling access?\u00a0 How\u2019s she get $100 million in a charitable foundation from foreign governments?<\/p>\n

How does that happen?<\/p>\n

Could the evidence be on what she destroyed?\u00a0 We really need to see what\u2019s in those emails.\u00a0 We really need to find out.\u00a0 She\u2019s running for president.\u00a0 So Trump doing this press conference yesterday, gets questions and questions on this and emails, and he finally — knowing everything I just said to you, knowing that everybody and their uncle in the United States has said, “Oh, sorry, we can\u2019t find these emails. They\u2019re gone. They\u2019re destroyed.”\u00a0 But we know there have been hacks.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve told us. The DNC told us they were hacked by the Russians.\u00a0 So we know the Russians are out there hacking Democrat servers and networks.\u00a0 It\u2019s a common-sense connection.\u00a0 There\u2019s 30,000 emails Hillary destroyed in a server.\u00a0 Trump keeps getting questions about this.\u00a0 So Trump says, hey… Grab audio sound bite number seven. Given everything I\u2019ve just told you, that I\u2019ve just put it all in context for you — and what we\u2019re told is utter BS.<\/p>\n

“You shouldn\u2019t be interested. There\u2019s nothing there. It\u2019s all private. It\u2019s none of your business! You should trust Hillary. She went through their 60,000 emails. She only sent over what was of interest.\u00a0 The 30,000 she deleted? None of your business! It was all personal.”\u00a0 So we\u2019ve exhausted every possible way domestically.\u00a0 We\u2019ve exhausted every chance we have to find out was what on those emails and that server, despite the fact we need to know. We have nowhere else to go.\u00a0 Comey says (summarized), “There\u2019s nothing to see, nothing to find. It\u2019s not there.”<\/p>\n

FBI, the number one law enforcement agency.<\/p>\n

So Trump says, “You know what?\u00a0 Maybe…<\/p>\n
