RUSH: The Paul Manafort situation is continuing to unfold. Manafort has kind of thrown down the gauntlet at Mueller and said, “Look. I got nothing to hide. Release what you took out of my house. Make it public. You got nothing. Let everybody know what you got.” Talk about harassment. It is clear what\u2019s going on with Mueller, which takes me to the first sound bite. I just want to play this for you because it\u2019s an echo, it is a Limbaugh Echo. I have been pointing this out since Trump was elected. I\u2019ve been pointing it out so many times that many of you probably, when I get into it, “Come on, come on, we\u2019ve heard it, we got it, move on.” But here\u2019s the echo. It happened last night on Fox News. Michael Caputo was on, and he was asked about this effort of Mueller and the special counsel investigation and what it all means, and here is the Limbaugh Echo.<\/p>\n

\"\"CAPUTO: I\u2019m not quite certain they\u2019re gonna beat President Trump and the people around President Trump, but I believe that that is their purpose. I think the establishment that\u2019s been entrenched in Washington for so very, very long on both sides of the aisle, they can\u2019t have another Donald Trump pop up in 10 years, another billionaire populist who wants to make things right in Washington. So they have to punish Donald Trump, his family, destroy his businesses, his friends, where I guess I fit in and others, and just to make sure that this never happens again.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Folks, I cannot tell you how correct that is. That is almost 100 percent of the motivation behind the Mueller investigation, the deep state leaks on supposed collusion between Trump and Russia. All of this is aimed at destroying Donald Trump and everybody with him to send the signal to others who might be thinking of trying it, like Kid Rock.<\/p>\n

“Don\u2019t even think about it, because we will destroy you too.” I\u2019ve tried to come up with various analogies to further explain and be persuasive on how this is actually structured and what it is, searching for ways to explain just how elite and distant and removed from the rest of the country the Washington establishment is. It does compromise people of all parties, not just both, but all parties.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s made up of people who have certain university pedigrees, they are in certain vocations, and it is a very exclusive, very arrogant organization. It does not have membership. There\u2019s not a manual that contains the names of everybody who\u2019s a member. You know whether you\u2019re a member or not. There\u2019s not a single figurehead leader of the establishment. It\u2019s more a way of life and a way of thinking.<\/p>\n

There is no amount of achievement, no amount of success that can get you into it. It totally is dependent on your education, your family. It depends on much with your background, what you\u2019re trained to do, and your way of thinking. And I\u2019m telling you, it\u2019s the most exclusive club in the country. And they have been rocked.<\/p>\n

The establishment has been in charge, in control and running things for longer than you would believe. And it gets away with disguising itself by having two political parties that appear to be at war with each other, and they make a pretty good show of it. There are some differences in the parties. I mean, the establishment\u2019s not all friends. They\u2019re not all like-minded.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not all going to backyard barbecues together, but even those who are on the outs politically, say Republicans not part of the mainstream media apparatus, not part of the dominant liberal culture, there nevertheless are members, and they value that, and they treasure it, and they will put their remaining membership, staying a member of the establishment above anything else: winning elections, finding certain kinds of employment.<\/p>\n

It really is a close and tight-knit group. It\u2019s relatively small, when you compare it to the entire population of the country, but it is where all of the power and the wealth is actually concentrated. Now, there are a lot of wealthy people not part of it like Trump. But it\u2019s the power center and the power structure of the country. There are people that live in California that are in the Washington establishment. There are people in New York that are part of it. Very few, but they\u2019re there.<\/p>\n

And the attitude is they are better than everybody else. They are special simply by virtue of membership in this club. They are special in ways that nobody can replicate. You cannot be the people they are because you don\u2019t come from the people they come from. It\u2019s that exclusive. You can\u2019t grow up having no knowledge of the establishment and end up going to school at Harvard and doing well and automatically end up in the establishment. It\u2019s doable. Of course, it\u2019s been done. But it\u2019s not automatic. And as I say, there\u2019s no initiation ceremony, there\u2019s no clubhouse.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an attitude, it\u2019s an aura, and the attitude is one of total superiority, supremacy, knowledge, power, they\u2019re better and they know it, than everybody else. It doesn\u2019t matter how dumb or stupid they are. These are the people ruining everything, by the way. These are the people that got us into $20 trillion in debt and the people that voted for \u2019em, in large part. I mean, can\u2019t exempt the dependent class totally from this, but you get my drift.<\/p>\n

\"\"And Trump will never, ever, no matter what, never, ever will be admitted to this. No matter what he does, no matter what he says, no matter how many friends he makes that are in the establishment, it will never happen. They can\u2019t permit it. If somebody like Trump is permitted in the establishment and is an acknowledged member of it, then there goes the establishment. Everything they have used to keep people out will have blown to smithereens. He can\u2019t become a member of it, and he shouldn\u2019t even try or want to. Because the things he would have to do to convince them he\u2019s worthy would mean betraying everybody that elected him. And he\u2019s not gonna do that.<\/p>\n

But Caputo here is more right than he knows. The Mueller investigation, 17 investigators, all Clintonites or Obamaites. They\u2019re looking at Trump business affairs 10 and 15 years ago. And I will guarantee you they\u2019re looking at Trump\u2019s tax returns that hadn\u2019t been made public and that $900 million tax deduction. If they can wipe Trump out with IRS penalties and taxes, they will do it folks. If they can wipe him out. They won\u2019t care. They have no compassion. There\u2019s nothing humanitarian about this group whatsoever. If they could wipe him out, they will, to send the message to everybody: don\u2019t even try it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
