<\/a>In other words, Obama has ordered the people that police the DOJ to investigate the DOJ and the FBI, that means Comey, to find out exactly what they were doing and what they were thinking and why they did it in the Hillary email investigation. Now, you might be saying, “But wait, but wait. I mean, they leave office here on January 20th. These are career people in there.” That\u2019s another thing, folks. Trump can\u2019t clear out everybody, get rid of U.S. attorneys, got a new attorney general in there, and it\u2019s gonna matter.<\/p>\nSessions is gonna matter, but there\u2019s gonna be, in the Department of Justice, there\u2019s gonna be an EPA. There is going to be, in any number of these cabinet-level departments, there\u2019s going to be saboteurs. There are going to be career and Democrat appointed positions in there, and not all of them are gonna be swept out. I can\u2019t begin to predict the number of efforts that will be made to undermine the incoming new cabinet secretaries and President Trump. Hey, that\u2019s part of the way the game is played. That will not be anything new.<\/p>\n
Now, the difference is, say, when George W. Bush came in, because the acrimony had been so vicious in the recount in Florida that W came in and thought that he could unify and bring people together by leaving a number of Clinton appointees, say, at the Department of Justice, or over at the EPA, or at the State Department, you name it. And what happened was a bunch of Clinton appointees stayed in there to undermine George W. Bush.<\/p>\n
Same thing with the intelligence communities, CIA, DIA, you name it. I mean, there are a lot of career leftists in every one of these bureaucracies and their purpose is going to be to undermine. Their purpose is going to be to make sure Trump doesn\u2019t succeed and that\u2019s not new. That\u2019s common. When Bush came in and fired a number of U.S. attorneys, the media and the Democrats acted like he\u2019d committed some kind of crime, and they focused on it and they accused Bush of trying to become an emperor and a king and deny voting rights and civil rights.<\/p>\n
Yet Bill Clinton fired every U.S. attorney the first month in office, all 93 of them. They didn\u2019t say a word. They said, “Well, standard operating procedure. Presidents want their own lawyers in there.” When W. did it, you would have thought it was the end of our republic. That\u2019s why we\u2019re here, folks, to keep a sharp eye on all of this stuff and to clue you in on it. Also, Senator McCain, along with Senator Rubio, have said they may not be able to vote for Rex Tillerson. You see, McCain\u2019s claim to fame is this maverick persona where he goes against the grain of his own party. The Drive-By Media eats it up and loves him and puts him on a pedestal, of course \u2019til he wants to be president, then they destroy him, run rumors on the front page of New York Times he was having an affair. He couldn\u2019t believe it. He thought the media was his base.<\/p>\n But Rubio, I noticed this yesterday, Rubio\u2019s questioning of Tillerson was vicious. Well, not vicious. I would categorize it as intolerant. (imitating Rubio) “Would you agree that Putin is a war criminal? Would you agree?” I\u2019m thinking, Senator Rubio, he can\u2019t say that, even if he does think it, he\u2019s the nation\u2019s number one diplomat. You don\u2019t talk that way when you\u2019re a diplomat. The media can talk that way, Senators can take that way, but the secretary of state\u2019s gotta speak in this obscure diplomatic lingo. Can\u2019t come out and say that.<\/p>\n But this is all part and parcel, folks, of Trump is illegitimate \u2019cause the Russians tampered with our election. Now, McCain\u2019s just doing it — look, you can understand McCain, too. I mean, after all, Trump said of McCain that he had no admiration for him \u2019cause he got captured. He prefers generals that don\u2019t get captured. Do not doubt. This is only human nature. McCain\u2019s probably been seething about that from the day it happened, and McCain has probably been eager for Trump to lose since that happened.<\/p>\n So if they want to make this stuff personal, it\u2019s understandable that McCain would try to block Trump in certain areas, Tillerson being one. When it comes to Sessions, Joe Manchin, Democrat, West Virginia, has announced he\u2019s gonna vote for Sessions. So I don\u2019t know that there\u2019d be Republican defections on Sessions, but there might be on Tillerson, and if there are they\u2019re gonna need some Democrats to vote for Tillerson if he is to be confirmed.<\/p>\n They\u2019re asking him all kinds of questions that he really can\u2019t answer because he wouldn\u2019t speak that way normally. You know what I\u2019m saying? “Do you think Putin\u2019s a war criminal? You understand Putin\u2019s a mass murder? You think,” blah, blah. “I\u2019d need to check the record, senator.”<\/p>\n “What do you mean check the record? Can\u2019t you tell the guy murders, ever heard of Crimea?”<\/p>\n “Well, Senator, I need to check the record on that.”<\/p>\n “What do you mean you need to check the record? Can\u2019t you just tell me whether you think Putin is a war criminal?”<\/p>\n “Well, I don\u2019t want to.” Tillerson\u2019s got a very narrow road that he has to walk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RUSH: Get this, folks.

\n<\/a><\/a>I\u2019ll give you another example. We were just talking about fringe news and how we left it alone, fringe news about Obama, we left it alone. They on the left will not. Look at John McCain. John McCain is a seasoned veteran Republican Senator from Arizona, and he is up to his eyebrows in this fake dossier.<\/a> John McCain\u2019s fingerprints in getting this dossier into the mainstream media are glaring and obvious. I can\u2019t remember John McCain ever engaging in a similar kind of energetic behavior to discredit a Democrat. This is one of many people\u2019s problems with Senator McCain.<\/p>\n
