I\u2019m approaching the line here. John McCain was a central figure&#8230; Let\u2019s be honest. He was duped. John McCain played a central role in getting the FBI involved in that golden showers dossier &#8212; that totally fake, fraudulent, made-up thing that John Brennan and James Comey used as the basis to investigate Trump collusion with the Russians on the election.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-222564 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/650-022117-John-McCain.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/650-022117-John-McCain.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/650-022117-John-McCain-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>McCain, when he heard about that dossier, actually sent somebody to get it. He sent an emissary to London to pick up a copy and bring it back. He was so desirous to have it in hand so they could use it when he heard about it. Now, look, we have to understand. McCain probably still hasn\u2019t gotten over the fact that Trump said during the campaign that he didn\u2019t respect military people that get captured; he admires military people that don\u2019t get captured. McCain is probably still smarting over that, and I think McCain has a&#8230; (sigh)<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s gonna make Trump pay for it, if he can. He\u2019s not gonna let it go, and this is just part of that. He\u2019s now saying that American leadership was better under Obama. Think about that. Think about letting Iran nuke up. Think Libya, think Iraq, think Syria, think Russia, think China, think Obamacare &#8212; think apologizing for America in many parts of the world &#8212; and John McCain&#8230; It was disaster after disaster after disaster with Obama. Think the Paris Accord and signing onto this global warming malarkey!<\/p>\n<p>Now McCain says that American leadership was better under Obama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Now, look, we have to understand.
