Are you defending Trump?&#8221; I\u2019m not defending anybody here. I\u2019m just using some common sense. Since last July, we\u2019ve been told there\u2019s an investigation of Trump. Comey admitted it. There\u2019s an investigation of the Trump campaign and the Russians to see if there\u2019s any collusion. You know, every time I say this I get frosted because it\u2019s absurd! Because at the same time they say this, they have admitted that there was no way they could have fixed the election.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-226535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/650-032217-Trump-Tweet.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/650-032217-Trump-Tweet.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/650-032217-Trump-Tweet-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>So what is this really all about? Anyway, in the middle of these five months, throughout these five months and longer, there have been stories, leaked information from intelligence sources deep inside the intelligence community, as stated by the New York Times, the Washington Post, and CNN, and they\u2019ve contained information that\u2019s classified. They have contained information that may be false. Where did they get it? If there wasn\u2019t some kind of surveillance going on, where\u2019d this stuff come from? There clearly has been some surveillance going on. And since it started in July of last year, that means it happened during the Obama presidency.<\/p>\n<p>We still don\u2019t know about those two FISA warrants. We don\u2019t know if they were actually ever sought or if that\u2019s bogus news. But when Trump threw that grenade that Obama has been wiretapping or tapping his wires at Trump Tower, look at what happened. What happened was that all of these people that had been leaking things and all of these people that had been printing things and all of these media people that had been running stories citing wiretaps and other sources deep inside the intel community denied that they\u2019d been doing that. They denied that there was an investigation. Trump\u2019s off his rocker.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/03\/21\/glaring-questions-not-asked-at-the-comey-hearing\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-226245\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/COmey1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/COmey1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/COmey1.jpg 594w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Well, then how did that stuff end up in the news? How did people learn it? How did they learn about Mike Flynn talking to the Russian ambassador, if there wasn\u2019t some surveillance going on? But that one tweet from Trump, that Obama was surveilling him, tapping his wires, and now you have Comey and the NSA guy at the committee hearing on Monday saying, &#8220;Oh, no, no, there\u2019s no evidence, we found no evidence, none whatsoever,&#8221; blah, blah. Well, there has to be some evidence somewhere, because there was surveillance going on somewhere and it happened during the Obama administration.<\/p>\n<p>But even with all that, can you believe how out of their minds they are with simply Trump alleging that Obama would be spying on him? It has sent them off the deep end and they are reacting to this as irrationally as you can possibly imagine and see. And this is leading them to think that Trump is the one that\u2019s insane, that Trump is unbalanced, that Trump poses a grave threat to the republic. And I guarantee you, if these people &#8212; I mean, they believe it. I do believe that they mean it when they say this stuff. And I think it means they are scared to death.<\/p>\n<p>And what they may be plotting, what they may be considering, what they may be going through, whatever reaction they\u2019re having is what alarms me. I mean, I think of all of the allegations that were made against George W. Bush when he was president that make this claim by Trump that Obama was surveilling him, and then you put it all in context of things, and it pales in comparison to some of the stuff that\u2019s been alleged and said about Republican presidents or conservative figures of high reputation.<\/p>\n<p>And yet the reaction to this is like this is the absolute bottom, this is the absolute lowest. This is beneath anything and everything we\u2019ve ever seen and it\u2019s beneath anything we should ever tolerate, accept, and so forth. I\u2019m not defending anybody here, folks. I\u2019m just sharing with you how I think about this stuff. There was surveillance going on. It could not have been otherwise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Now, I want to go back and explore this Trump tweet about being surveilled by Obama one more time.
