We have a little clip of this thing. It\u2019s kind of funny in a way. During a discussion about James Comey, the FBI director, during a discussion of his impact on the election, Heilemann and Podesta had the following back-and-forth.<\/p>\n<p>HEILEMANN: You have a theory, the case &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>PODESTA: Well, I think there\u2019s &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>HEILEMANN: &#8212; that Comey wanted Trump to win, that the FBI wanted Trump to win. There\u2019s gotta be some theories here.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-222820\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HillaryWiki-Leaks-Hillary-1011.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HillaryWiki-Leaks-Hillary-1011.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HillaryWiki-Leaks-Hillary-1011-300x138.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>PODESTA: I think there\u2019s two possibilities. There are at least forces within the FBI that wanted her to lose. I\u2019m not sure they were prepared to &#8212; they really understood the alternative, but they wanted her to lose. I think that\u2019s one possibility. I think the other is just become a cover-your-ass organization and there was pressure coming up from underneath him, and he succumbed to that pressure.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-222829 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/RUDYTRUMP-300x175.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/RUDYTRUMP-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/RUDYTRUMP.jpg 594w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>RUSH: Wow. So there\u2019s Podesta. So there\u2019s a deep state that stuck it to Hillary. Somebody in the FBI didn\u2019t want her to win. You know what they\u2019re saying. They\u2019re saying that Rudy, Rudy Giuliani, former U.S. attorney, tight with some FBI types in New York, they\u2019re saying that Rudy had the connections to make all this Comey stuff happen and that the FBI is just a cover-your-ass organization, not doing anything serious anymore. They just wanted her to lose and they didn\u2019t understand the alternative. Meaning they didn\u2019t know how bad it would be with Trump, they just hated her, once again, betraying the Podesta mind-set.<\/p>\n<p>So, anyway, I don\u2019t know if they ended up blaming the Russians as that interview went on, but it\u2019s pretty much what we know they think. They didn\u2019t lose because of Hillary\u2019s being a lousy candidate. They didn\u2019t lose because of ideas. They didn\u2019t lose because people like Trump better. They lost because somebody cheated \u2019em and maybe a combination of the FBI and the Russians cheated \u2019em. They still can\u2019t get over it, and it\u2019s largely governing much of their behavior even now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: They&#039;re saying that Rudy had the connections to make all this Comey stuff happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
