RUSH: Julie in Temecula, California. Great to have you. How are you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. I\u2019m great. Oh, I\u2019m so happy to talk with you. I\u2019ve been a listener since, let\u2019s see, Clinton was holding us hostage on TV. Okay. That\u2019s a while back. Anyway, I apologize because I only heard this once, so I can\u2019t tell you where I heard it, but when Green from Texas began the impeachment process —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, Al Green.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Al Green, yeah, the Democrats were furious because the impeachment proceedings — I heard this but I don\u2019t know where — the impeachment proceedings needed to be on Mueller\u2019s timing. He wasn\u2019t ready. So he\u2019s gonna come up with this big thing, whatever, whenever that\u2019s gonna happen. And Green was under a lot of pressure from the Democrats to walk back the impeachment process that he initiated.<\/p>\n

And the shooting in Las Vegas was used, it was used for so-called postponing it, making the Democrats look caring and they weren\u2019t gonna do it. But they were mad at him. That\u2019s why we didn\u2019t hear from Maxine Waters, I\u2019m sure. She kept her mouth shut on this. They were all mad at him. So he walked it back, perfect timing, this horrible tragedy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We mentioned this yesterday. Al Green is in the same league<\/a>. Have you heard there\u2019s a congressman from Georgia, his name is Hank something or other. Is it Hank Johnson? Have you heard of this guy? This guy was afraid of any action taken on Guam that would relocate people because he thought if you put too many people on one side of the island it would capsize it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Wow. I did not hear that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. I never heard of a population — never heard of an island capsizing, period, but Hank Johnson something. Al Green was an outlier. He was a lone wolf on this impeachment business. And, yes, when the shooting in Las Vegas happened, he very courageously went to the microphones and announced that he was postponing the impeachment proceedings against President Trump, of which there aren\u2019t any, and he did not specify a date when he was going to recommence impeachment proceedings. So are you thinking he was trying to curry favor with people because of his show of compassion because of the Las Vegas shooting?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. He\u2019s trying to show compassion, but he also realized that he misstepped, and this was before Mueller was ready. I mean, maybe he won\u2019t ever be ready. It doesn\u2019t sound like he does, although from some research I\u2019ve done it looks like they don\u2019t need a whole lot of reason to put this vote to Congress to impeach, but —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the thing about impeachment is that it is a political act. It\u2019s not criminal. And so the whole definition of high crimes and misdemeanors, I mean, it can be criminal, but when I say it\u2019s a political act, you can\u2019t succeed with it unless the politics are right, because you have to have a trial in the Senate, and there have to be a majority of the Senate that will vote to convict. Otherwise, it\u2019s a mess and you don\u2019t try for it.<\/p>\n

The House of Representatives presents the case. They select managers of the case, and each manager has a different aspect of the charges. Lindsey Graham was a house manager, for example, when they impeached Clinton. And that of course blew up because there was no way the Senate was ever gonna vote to convict Clinton, so the House was left hanging. And ever since then a lot of the House Republicans and conservatives who were in on that have now, it didn\u2019t take long, became moderates, stopped being conservative. They wanted to dissociate themselves with that proceeding at all costs.<\/p>\n

Now, what Mueller is doing is searching in desperation for a crime. The special counsel, according to regulations of the Justice Department, there must be an underlying crime for which the special counsel is appointed to investigate. Well, in this case there isn\u2019t a crime. There are wild, basic, scandalous allegations and rumor in the media. And the Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein or Rosenstein appointed Mueller to investigate without a crime.<\/p>\n

\"\"So Mueller is actually not properly convened here. That doesn\u2019t mean anything. Mueller has hired a staff larger than any special counsel in recent memory. Most of them are Clinton and Obama devotees, donors, former employees. They\u2019re all lawyers. And they\u2019re looking for anything, they\u2019re looking for anything that might prove that Trump colluded with the Russians or Trump did anything.<\/p>\n

Now supposedly they\u2019re looking ten years ago into Trump\u2019s business practices, long before he even ran for office and before he ever did have anything to do with Russians for anything. They\u2019re desperately searching for a crime. And I don\u2019t think Mueller cares a whit about what Al Green was doing. Al Green is an acne pimple zit on the butt of a pig as far as Mueller and his investigation are concerned. There\u2019s nothing that Mueller\u2019s gonna do timing-wise with Al Green and vice versa.<\/p>\n

Now, what they\u2019re probably finding, I don\u2019t know how they could not be finding it, as in-depth as they\u2019re looking, they have to be finding really strange things that went on on the Democrat side. This Russian investigation, you know what\u2019s missing in it? Mark Steyn points out, there aren\u2019t any Russians. There aren\u2019t any Russians in this investigation. How the hell do you have an investigation of Russian collusion with no Russians? The Russians involved here go to lunch. And that\u2019s about it.<\/p>\n

But on the Democrat side they did rig an election there. Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz rigged the Democrat primaries for Hillary against Bernie Sanders. And Hillary was committing crimes with her illegal email server. I don\u2019t know how Mueller avoids that, avoids finding anything. I\u2019m sure he can ignore it if he wants.<\/p>\n

\"\"But I do think that your instincts are right, that the literal purpose for the Mueller investigation is to find a series of things that would qualify as high crimes and misdemeanors and would satisfy the Democrats\u2019 political fetish with getting rid of Trump. Because this remains the objective of the Washington establishment, getting rid of Trump. And despite what takes over in the news, like right now the Las Vegas story is dominating everything, the Russian story is still there. These guys, they\u2019re like ducks.<\/p>\n

You see a duck swimming along on the surface the water, looks smooth and silky, and the duck is just gliding along, you hardly even notice it. You don\u2019t see the duck paddling furiously beneath the surface. And that\u2019s what the Mueller team is doing. They\u2019re out there, but you don\u2019t notice \u2019em and they get obscured and covered up by news events like the hurricanes or the massacre in Las Vegas, but they\u2019re still out there.<\/p>\n

And they\u2019re not gonna go away until they find — there\u2019s no time limit on \u2019em, and they don\u2019t have any financial limit, so they can do this as long as they want, as long as it takes to get Trump. But it\u2019s gonna have to be something that satisfies the politics of this. Because simply finding criminal behavior, criminal acts by itself, talking about impeachment, is not going to be enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
