Senate Clowns Investigate Fictional Trump Dossier"},"content":{"rendered":"

RUSH: Richard Burr, the United States senator from North Carolina, had a press conference today. He\u2019s the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. He had some remarks today and it continues to boggle my mind. This is about the Trump-Russia collusion story that these clowns are still investigating, they are continuing to call witnesses. It\u2019s been so long since we discussed this, I need to set this up with a bit of an explainer beforehand.<\/p>\n

The Trump dossier, a completely fabricated, made-up series of supposed intelligence items about Trump, they were made up by a company called Fusion GPS, which is a company that\u2019s done work for Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. It was put together in conjunction with a British intelligence officer and assisted by the Russians. And it\u2019s totally, totally made up. There\u2019s nothing in it that is true. And it is the Trump dossier that contains the story of the golden showers.<\/p>\n

\"\"The golden showers, supposedly Trump was staying in a five-star hotel in Moscow. He was staying in the same suite that Barack and Moochelle (My Belle) Obama had once stayed in. And so because of that, Trump supposedly hired some prostitutes to show up and urinate on the bed, and that\u2019s why it\u2019s called golden showers. This dossier had been circulating for months and months, many, many months, all over Washington. Everybody knew it, everybody saw it. Nobody ran with it because none of it could be verified, none of it could be confirmed because it was made up.<\/p>\n

Trump was told about it, which is what made it news. James Comey and a couple of intelligence people decided to tell Trump about it. When Trump openly said as a candidate, “I don\u2019t need a daily intel brief. I\u2019m smart. I have a good memory. I don\u2019t need to talk to these guys every day,” that didn\u2019t go over well. The intelligence people think that they are the first line of defense against bad guys. They work very hard producing the intelligence brief every day. They think the president ought to see them first.<\/p>\n

And so in their efforts to persuade Trump that they need to talk to him and he needs to talk to them, they created this dossier. And it wasn\u2019t presented to him not as fact, but as an example of the kind of outrageous stuff that\u2019s out there that he needs to be aware of. And they were hoping that this would convince him to take meetings with them every day. Nobody in the news media would run with it, but BuzzFeed, a left-wing hack site, political hack site, decided to do it.<\/p>\n

They got so frustrated, they decided to run the whole thing in toto with all kinds of caveats. They said, “We can\u2019t confirm any of this. We can\u2019t verify any of this. But we think it\u2019s so important, you need to know.” Well, that\u2019s all it took. Once BuzzFeed put it out there, then all the rest of the Drive-Bys could report on it in any way they wanted, which happened. But the worst aspect of it was that that memo, the Trump dossier it turns out, formed the basis of the entire investigation. And, my friends, I\u2019m not exaggerating on this.<\/p>\n

\"\"A totally fraudulent, filled-with-lies, made-up dossier — even the word “dossier” is used to make it sound sinister and official. Dossier. It\u2019s just a white paper. It\u2019s just a report. It contains all of these fabrications and lies. But by virtue of James Comey showing it to Trump, that also qualified as making it news, and then opened the floodgates, permitting the Drive-Bys to report it.<\/p>\n

One other aspect of this. We have since learned that Brennan, John Brennan, who was the Obama director of the CIA, when he saw it, he believed it, and he admitted that it formed the basis of the CIA investigation into whether or not Trump colluded with the Russians. It\u2019s fake. The whole thing is made up! It is unreal. The thing should have had a life span of 30 seconds.<\/p>\n

Now, all of this is a prelude and a setup for the Richard Burr sound bite, again just now, just this afternoon in Washington, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee at a press conference. Here\u2019s a little of what Senator Burr said.<\/p>\n

BURR: As it relates to the Steele dossier, unfortunately the committee has hit a wall.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop the tape. Stop the tape. He\u2019s calling it the Steele dossier because that\u2019s the name of the chump who made it up. This is the British intel guy. I think it was MI6. And it\u2019s not even a report. It\u2019s a series of memos written by Russians, probably Russian agents who essentially dictated it to this guy, Michael Steele, Fusion GPS. So what\u2019s his name here, Burr is referring to the Trump dossier as the Steele dossier, but he\u2019s talking about the same thing. Okay, here, we try it again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>BURR: We have on several occasions made attempts to contact Mr. Steele, to meet with Mr. Steele, to include personally the vice-chairman and myself as two individuals making that connection. Those offers have gone unaccepted. The committee cannot really decide the credibility of the dossier without understanding things like who paid for it, who are your sources and subsources? We\u2019re investigating a very expansive Russian network of interference in U.S. elections. And though we have been incredibly enlightened at our ability to rebuild backwards the Steele dossier up to a certain date, getting past that point has been somewhat impossible.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is incredible! By the way, his name is Christopher Steele. This is incredible! He\u2019s essentially saying we\u2019ve hit a wall. We can\u2019t find anybody to talk to. Because they made it up, Senator! There aren\u2019t any sources, Senator! There aren\u2019t any subsources. It\u2019s a work of fiction! You may as well call Nelson DeMille in and ask him about it. Well, Nelson DeMille\u2019s got — I just finished his book last in my, The Cuban Affair, and Cuba is a place I\u2019d like to go because of cigars. And — well, political aspects too.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s with Simon & Schuster now, which is our publisher at Revere. And they sent me a copy of the book way, way back in the summer. It didn\u2019t go live, wasn\u2019t released \u2019til sometime this fall. I have the e-book version. I read it in iBooks. And it\u2019s the first book in a long time I couldn\u2019t put down. It\u2019s a flat-out novel. And it\u2019s DeMille at his best, charm school best, the gold coast best, and it was just entertaining as it can be. It\u2019s not heavy reading, but it was just fun. It was really, really great. And I just finished it last night.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s why Nelson DeMille is on my mind. But he writes fiction. Bring him in to talk about this. There aren\u2019t any witnesses, Senator! There aren\u2019t any sources! It was made up. I don\u2019t even think the guy, Christopher Steele, who wrote this thing ever went to Russia. Everything in these memos — it\u2019s not even a dossier. It\u2019s not even a report. Everything in them was unverified. Everything in it is thirdhand. All of it is laughable.<\/p>\n

The Drive-Bys have never published this as anything factual or true. The fact these guys are investigating this is an outrage. The fact that Burr and his committee are looking into this is an absolute outrage. The fact that John Brennan at the CIA and this clown Clapper, the director of national intelligence, Comey, the fact that all of these people used this as the foundational basis for this asinine investigation is outrageous! It is irresponsible! It\u2019s a total waste of time!<\/p>\n

It is a waste of resources. We have much serious threats out there, very serious threats, bad people that want to do very horrible things to us. And they are wasting their time on this, on a false premise to begin with, that the election was stolen by the Russians. There isn\u2019t any evidence. And yet here we are, we are now into our tenth month of the Trump administration with no evidence of this, tenth month of the Trump administration, five months beforehand that they started this, there\u2019s literally nothing.<\/p>\n

\"\"And now Burr calls the press conference frustrated that nobody will talk to him about it. Senator, you\u2019re not gonna find \u2019em. You\u2019re not gonna find anybody to come up and talk to you about this. You\u2019re not gonna have anybody show up and admit they made it up. You\u2019re not gonna have anybody that will tell you who their sources were because there aren\u2019t any. It is a work of fiction.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m serious, call Nelson DeMille and subpoena him and have him come in and tell you how fiction is created if you want to get to the bottom of this. I happen to know that Nelson DeMille would love to get that subpoena. Anyway, this stuff ticks me off. You know, we\u2019re now into the area of surreality. And these people, Senator Burr — look. Do you guys not know how you sound here? I mean, just this whole sound bite is incredible (doing Burr imitation), “We can\u2019t get a hold of Mr. Steele. We\u2019ve offered to meet with Mr. Steele. Committee can\u2019t really decide the credibility of the dossier without understanding things like who paid for it.”<\/p>\n

Try the Democrat Party, Senator! Try the Hillary Clinton campaign. Go to the usual suspects here at who paid for it. You know, call any Democrat, ask Al Franken who paid for it. Tell him to send somebody a letter and investigate that. But this is outrageous. It\u2019s comical at the same time that these guys — does Burr not know, do these clowns not know that this thing is made up? Or do they know it\u2019s made up and are fearful that if they don\u2019t appear to be uncovering every stone, every rock, that people are gonna think the investigation itself was rigged?<\/p>\n

And the Republicans wonder why… (aigh) That\u2019s a whole ‘nother story, the Republicans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
