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

RUSH: Williamstown, Kentucky.\u00a0 This is Roger.\u00a0 It\u2019s great to have you with us, sir.\u00a0 Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Rush, it\u2019s an honor, and I just to want make an observation that\u2019s been guided by your theorem about how President Obama has always stayed away from the fray and never taken the political hits when he should.\u00a0 If I take you back to before when this all started, when President Clinton met with Loretta Lynch, we were all wondering if Loretta Lynch was going to indict, and then there shortly after the FBI director had a press conference where all of a sudden the blame shifted to him for no indictment.<\/p>\n

And I think that the narrative that most of the people use to defend Hillary is that the FBI, using their great credibility, chose not to indict, when the reality is, it\u2019s Loretta Lynch and it\u2019s President Obama who have not pursued this.\u00a0 And if it would have been Loretta Lynch standing up saying we\u2019re not gonna indict or we\u2019re not gonna pursue this, I think the American people would have seen the absolute corruption there actually is —<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Well, you are very shrewd because what you have highlighted here is another irregularity.\u00a0 In the normal ebb and flow of the FBI working with the Justice Department on the investigation of potential criminal activity, we never get what Comey did.\u00a0 The FBI\u2019s recommendations in presentation of whatever evidence it has happens privately.\u00a0 If they recommend prosecution or not, we never know.\u00a0 DOJ announces they\u2019re gonna prosecute something or if we don\u2019t even know what\u2019s going on, we just never know about it.<\/p>\n

But rarely does the FBI director go public and say, “I\u2019m recommending no prosecution.\u00a0 We couldn\u2019t find anything.”\u00a0 So rarely does this happen.\u00a0 And what you are shrewdly observing is in the process, the FBI, the director takes the hit.\u00a0 He takes all of it off Lynch, all of it off Obama, all of it off the DOJ. And gives all these Hillary acolytes a free rein to say, “Hey, look, the FBI,” and, as you say, they\u2019re highly respected, “the FBI said there\u2019s nothing there, nothing there.”\u00a0 You\u2019re exactly, exactly right.<\/p>\n
