I\u2019m glad you called, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thanks so much, Rush. Happy holidays. Merry Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Same to you, sir.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-256893\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/650-100617-Rush-Const.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/650-100617-Rush-Const.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/650-100617-Rush-Const-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>CALLER: So my blood pressure has just been going through the roof lately, you know, between all the news of this guy Strzok getting thrown off. I just don\u2019t see an endgame to this. And I\u2019m hoping you have some type of an endgame to get these guys out of there, Mueller and his crew, to get me back off the ledge.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, that\u2019s an interesting point. You know, I think about it too. I don\u2019t sit and try to imagine various scenarios, how it would end. I honestly tell you that I have this thing called faith that\u2019s probably worthless to all of you, but I have faith that this is gonna end up right. But I don\u2019t know how, and I don\u2019t know what\u2019s gonna happen before it does.<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019m not deluding myself. I\u2019m not confusing wishful thinking and turning it into what I think is reality. But let\u2019s deal with this as the program unfolds. I\u2019ve gotta take a break now, but I\u2019m glad you mentioned that. Appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, I\u2019m talking to Andy McCarthy after the program today, interviewing for the upcoming issue of <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/the-limbaugh-letter\/\">The Limbaugh Letter<\/a>, and I\u2019m gonna ask him. I don\u2019t mean to sound like I don\u2019t think about this. Our last caller says, &#8220;What\u2019s the endgame, Rush? I mean, you\u2019re telling us how illegitimate the investigation is &#8212; and it is &#8212; but that\u2019s not stopping them. They know it\u2019s illegitimate. They know they started an investigation over nothing as a means to create crimes elsewhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Look. The bottom line is, folks, they know. They know they don\u2019t have Donald Trump committing any crimes about the election and colluding with Russia. Hillary did all of that! They\u2019ve known from the get-go that Trump didn\u2019t commit any crimes. This is all manufactured from leaks in the deep state. This is a manufactured thing starting from the Obama administration. This comes from John Brennan at the CIA and James Clapper, the director of national service, and Obama acolytes scattered throughout deep state.<\/p>\n<p>This whole premise that Trump\u2019s election is illegitimate springs from the political community organizing strategy and techniques of the Obama administration. They knew that there was no crime that Trump committed. They knew that they needed to start an investigation where they could have crimes committed there, which they\u2019re now telling us they\u2019ve succeeded at. They\u2019ve got Flynn lying to investigators. Now they\u2019re going after Trump for obstructing justice by firing Comey.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-256810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/FB-FB-120417-Mueller-Trump-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/FB-FB-120417-Mueller-Trump-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/FB-FB-120417-Mueller-Trump-1-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>So how does it end? They know they\u2019re doing something bogus and illegitimate, but they\u2019ve got an objective. In their world, it\u2019s totally legitimate because: &#8220;Trump\u2019s an outsider, doesn\u2019t deserve to be there. Trump has no business being there. This is the world we\u2019re talking about. He\u2019s unequipped, he\u2019s unqualified, he\u2019s an idiot, all of these things, plus he\u2019s a barbarian. We don\u2019t want people like this in our club, and we\u2019re not gonna put up with it, and we don\u2019t care about the Constitution. We\u2019re gonna do whatever we have to do to get rid of him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>How do we stop that? I\u2019m gonna ask McCarthy because <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/article\/454320\/donald-trump-flynn-tweet-what-knew-when\">there\u2019s no bigger-rule-of-law guy that Andrew McCarthy.<\/a> There\u2019s no bigger proponent of the rule of law being the recipe. But when you have people that are behaving, by design, outside the rule of law &#8212; they won\u2019t admit they\u2019re doing that, by the way. And their supporters don\u2019t even think of this as being outside. Their supporters think this is the Constitution being upheld because their supporters, these dummkopfs, really think there was collusion.<\/p>\n<p>So how is a special counsel investigation stopped, particularly if it\u2019s illegitimate and if there is no underlying crime? The only crimes are those they can create in the process of conducting the investigation. How does it stop? How do you beat it back?<\/p>\n<p>You know what I still rely on? And I know you\u2019re gonna sneer at this, but I\u2019m gonna say it anyway. I still believe in the power of the American people. And I\u2019ll tell you why. You may think this is quaint and not realistic, but it\u2019s the only thing separating the swamp from succeeding so far. Trump won election. You look at the forces that were arrayed, and you look at the power projected against Trump all during the campaign and since he was elected.<\/p>\n<p>Now, they have put roadblocks up, and they have succeeded in stalling and thwarting elements of the agenda, but Trump gets up every day and tries to march forward on it all, and he still has his voters behind him. The swamp wants to make their takeover of the government look like it\u2019s legitimate and constitutional. So they\u2019re going through the motions here of trying to find supposed, justifiable reasons to impeach Trump.<\/p>\n<p>What is to stop them from just marching a couple people up to the White House and effectively pointing a political gun at Trump\u2019s head and saying, &#8220;You either leave, you resign today, or else,&#8221; and the else we won\u2019t know; but whatever threats they want to make, what\u2019s to stop them from doing this?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-256382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Audio-Trump-24000.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Audio-Trump-24000.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Audio-Trump-24000-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>I maintain to you that even though they resent the American public and they don\u2019t really consider elections to be legitimate unless the American public votes the way they want them to, there\u2019s still an invisible line that at least as of now they don\u2019t want to cross and proceed into total totalitarianism or full-fledged, very loud and obvious coup.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/muellers-credibility-problem-1512432318\">Wall Street Journal today has an editorial that just lambastes Mueller<\/a>. And the Wall Street Journal is an inside-the-establishment publication, as is its editorial page. And the Wall Street Journal editorial page has been very much Never Trumper from the get-go. I\u2019m not saying that the Wall Street Journal editorial is gonna make Mueller resign. I\u2019m saying it\u2019s an element of opposition that has now been registered.<\/p>\n<p>Up \u2019til now, look at how Mueller began. Reputation impeccable. Resume impeccable. Integrity, honesty, character unassailable. That\u2019s how he was presented to people that never heard of him and don\u2019t know who he is. That whatever this guy says, you can trust it and then some. Whatever this guy does, you can believe it and trust it and then some. Whatever he ends up charging, you can trust that it is lawful and legit.<\/p>\n<p>Well, there are some people now beginning to put some chinks in that armor, in that reputation. And one thing guys like Mueller don\u2019t want is for their reputations to be sullied. However, there are always mitigating circumstances. And in this case, getting rid of Donald Trump and erasing this election and its outcome may be seen as well worth a couple of hits to the reputation.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to describe for people that don\u2019t know these kinds of people, the people that really lead the establishment. But their public image, their reputation for probity and character, decency, integrity, all of the great virtues, is of paramount importance to them, especially to people who don\u2019t know them. These are people that do not want and do not accept and will not abide bass press. To them, that\u2019s not part of the price. They do not get treated that way.<\/p>\n<p>There are not very many of these guys. I mean, this is not the entire establishment. I\u2019ve had emails, &#8220;How do you know all of this? And if you don\u2019t know it, how do you say it with so much confidence?&#8221; Folks, I do know it. Once you learn &#8212; well, I don\u2019t want to go any farther. Just don\u2019t doubt me on this. I know this stuff. It\u2019s not because I know them and it\u2019s not because I\u2019m in it. In fact, it\u2019s precisely because I\u2019m not that I understand what it is.<\/p>\n<p>But I do know that much of what\u2019s happened is unbelievable to them. They cannot believe that this guy won. They can\u2019t believe that they were not able to stop him. They can\u2019t believe he\u2019s still there. They can\u2019t believe they haven\u2019t taken him out yet. They can\u2019t believe he\u2019s still smiling. They can\u2019t believe they haven\u2019t gotten rid of Tillerson yet. They can\u2019t believe any of this. They can\u2019t believe he\u2019s not in jail. In terms of their ultimate objectives, they have not succeeded yet. But they don\u2019t care about that. They\u2019re playing the long game here.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-248458\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/FB-092617-Mueller.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/FB-092617-Mueller.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/FB-092617-Mueller-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>I think they can be beaten back. I think they can be exposed. I think there\u2019s quite a lot the American people can learn that would really present these people in a bad light. And they already are. Why do you think Trump won? Trump won because people are already fed up with the world of politicians and the way that world operates. That\u2019s why Trump won, not taking anything away from him personally, his charisma, his campaign, his issues.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that Trump won tells me that these people can be defeated. And if they\u2019ve been defeated once, which they were in the election, it can happen again. I\u2019m a natural optimist in most things. In certain things I\u2019m a dyed-in-the-wool pessimist, but I don\u2019t tell you what those are. But on balance I\u2019m an optimist on things like this. And we will see.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll see what Andy says. I\u2019m mentioning this now so that Andy can start thinking about it. This kind of question, when you get it, &#8220;What\u2019s the endgame, how do we get there?&#8221; you do need to think about that. Because right now what we\u2019re doing is reacting to each and every day\u2019s revelations, events, occurrences, supposed factual events. We\u2019re reacting to the plea deal of Flynn.<\/p>\n<p>Did you hear what Manafort did? Manafort supposedly violated a plea deal. He supposedly was ordered by the judge not to make any public statements about the case. So he arranged for an op-ed to be ghostwritten making his case but not under his name, and the prosecutors found out about it. And now they\u2019re ready to put ankle braces on him and keep him in his basement with nothing but bread and water for food twice a day.<\/p>\n<p>They are livid! And Manafort has been charged with things that happened in 2016 that have literally nothing to do with the so-called crime they\u2019re investigating, collusion with the Russians to steal an election. So clearly they want Manafort. They want to put so much pressure on Manafort that if he lied and told them that Trump did this and that, they\u2019ll accept it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Matthew in Plainview, Long Island. It\u2019s great to have you on the program. How are you doing?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you doing?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Just fine, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I just wanted to ask you one simple question: Do you think Robert Mueller is now the most powerful man in America?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think he thinks so.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-247928\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/650-092017-Mueller.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/650-092017-Mueller.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/650-092017-Mueller-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>CALLER: (laughs) Well, from my point of view, he\u2019s got an investigation where he\u2019s allowed to pick and choose who he prosecutes. He has the ability to investigate anyone he sees fit. It\u2019s unconstitutional. There are no parameters or restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, no. Look, I get your circumstance. Traditionally, it\u2019s the president who is considered the most powerful man in the free world and maybe the whole world.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: But now you\u2019re talking about a guy who thinks &#8212; and a lot of other people think &#8212; that he holds Trump\u2019s presidency in the palm of his hand, which may mean this guy\u2019s got more powerful than Trump. However, Trump can fire this guy. Trump can pardon Flynn and he can fire this guy. He can fire anybody he wants. I can do it. Now, there would be political consequences maybe. But he could still do it. So when it comes down to real raw power, Trump still has it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: But if he\u2019s made the decision not to fire Mueller for whatever reason, Mueller may think he holds Trump\u2019s presidency in the orifice of his choice.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (silence)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hello? Testing, one two&#8230; Did our caller drop off?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hello?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes. You\u2019re there. What\u2019s your reaction to what I just said? That\u2019s why you\u2019re here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I agree with you, but his one objective &#8212; which is set by the Democrats, the deep state, the swamp &#8212; is to, at a bare minimum, get Trump impeached. The real objective is they want to see him carried out in cuffs.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, I think if they could do that &#8212; if they could send him to jail, put him in the dock &#8212; yeah. None of that would surprise me.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Beaverton, Oregon. Steve, I\u2019m glad you waited. Welcome to our program, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: How are you doing, Rush?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Fine and dandy, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: First-time caller, many time dialer &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (chuckles)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; and this is the best Christmas gift ever. Thank you so much for taking my call.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-256942\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/FBIFractured-B.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/FBIFractured-B.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/FBIFractured-B-300x138.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>CALLER: This isn\u2019t the reason I called but I\u2019m from Oregon, and we have a very high state tax, and I\u2019m not exactly happy about that, either. If you want to talk about that after my question, we can do that. But the main question I have for you is, during your monologue you were talking about lying to the FBI. I\u2019m not a lawyer, and I don\u2019t play one on the radio, but I don\u2019t understand how lying to the FBI is a crime. People lie all the time.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, because it\u2019s been entered in the statute as a crime. It\u2019s an actual United States Code violation to lie to federal prosecutors, federal investigators. That would be the FBI.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: But are they under oath at the time?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: But, you know, there was a &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It really doesn\u2019t matter. Talk to Martha Stewart. Here\u2019s the thing. You know, if you want the crazy part: Flynn did not have to talk to them! You don\u2019t have to talk to them.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You don\u2019t!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You don\u2019t at all. The other thing is, there was a Supreme Court ruling that stated that the police can lie to you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right. That\u2019s true. I see it on TV all the time.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It\u2019s gotta go both ways.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Nope.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (chuckling) So &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You may think that justice is balanced toward the accused. It isn\u2019t. It\u2019s made to look like it is, but when the Feds are involved, there\u2019s no way you can balance it. You don\u2019t have the money they have. You don\u2019t have the people that they have.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah. So a lot of people just give up, and they just acquiesce and do what they want to.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-221488\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/FlynnTrump-1-300x273.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/FlynnTrump-1-300x273.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/FlynnTrump-1.jpg 594w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>RUSH: Michael Flynn\u2019s friends said that at the top of the list of reasons why he did this, he can\u2019t afford, he would go broke continuing the fight. It\u2019s tearing his family apart. And then when they zeroed in on his son and wanted to nail his son for the same crime, Flynn said, okay, that\u2019s it. I\u2019m not letting my son take a hit for this stuff, copped a plea.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s one of the pressure points and tactics that they use, it\u2019s in their arsenal, and they use it as often as necessary. And they can always outlast you because they\u2019ve got more money than even Prince Mohammad bin Salman of Saudi Arabia. They got more money than Gates. They got more money than Buffett. They got more money than Jeff Bezos combined. If they want to really spend you into oblivion, they can do it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: So another question is, how did they know that you\u2019re lying? If you believe that what you\u2019re saying is the truth &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Because if you tell \u2019em on Tuesday that you didn\u2019t know X and then six months later you say, &#8220;Yeah, yeah, I knew that,&#8221; you\u2019ve lied to them.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, yeah, but Hillary Clinton\u2019s memory all of a sudden &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hillary didn\u2019t intend, you see. That\u2019s what they told us.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, I didn\u2019t intend to lie to the FBI either.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And neither did Flynn, but he still did. Screw him.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: So how does it &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Because the purpose of this is to exonerate Hillary, to save the Obama legacy, to nail Trump and get rid of anybody who wants to try to help Trump. No exaggeration, not making it up, not trying to be funny. That\u2019s what\u2019s going on here. We\u2019re outside the Constitution. We\u2019ve got a bogus investigation driving all this. Collusion with Russia to steal the election . It never happened. There\u2019s not a shred of evidence, and yet we\u2019re investigating it and in the process people are lying and obstructing justice.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re Trump and you didn\u2019t do this and none of your people did this and you\u2019ve got a phony dossier written about you that says you did it and all of these forces arrayed against you, and one of the guys leading them is the FBI director and you run the FBI, you fire the guy. You have every right to. You didn\u2019t do any of this. And the whole establishment, which you now run, the executive branch, is coming after you, of course you\u2019re gonna fire Comey. But now, if you\u2019re Trump, what do you do? Can you imagine how frustrated this would be? Imagine yourself being pursued for something you didn\u2019t do, that if they convict you of it, it ruins you and your family. What would you do?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah. Exactly. But, see, people now know this. They know that they\u2019re coming after you, and you don\u2019t have to talk to the FBI. So, I mean, aren\u2019t they learning in the process here that if the FBI comes, &#8220;Hey, I\u2019m not saying a word.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: But if you don\u2019t talk to them, they can always come subpoena you. At some point &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You still don\u2019t have to talk to them.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Then you get a lawyer and you take a lawyer in there with you. And you don\u2019t say a word.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: But, see, these guys didn\u2019t do anything. In their minds, they\u2019re cooperating and helping. If they didn\u2019t know that they were being pursued, that\u2019s a whole &#8216;nother matter. Flynn is a patriot, a former military guy, Defense Intelligence Agency for Obama. He\u2019s on the Trump transition team. They\u2019re working with the Russians getting ready for the new administration. The FBI comes calling. I think it\u2019s his intention to try to be helpful. He lies, whether he lies or not, didn\u2019t know he was lying or what have you &#8212; look, he blundered. He did lie to Mike Pence about all this too. I\u2019m not trying to exonerate Flynn here. But the point is, they\u2019ve got Hillary Clinton on 10 times all this &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; for which she has been exonerated, in public! There\u2019s no question about what\u2019s going on here.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-252416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Hillary-Jail-Cell-BW.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Hillary-Jail-Cell-BW.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Hillary-Jail-Cell-BW-300x138.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>CALLER: Yeah, I know. I\u2019d still like to see Hillary in jail.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Lock her up. Lock her up. Well, you know, I\u2019m not trying to throw gasoline on anything here, but where are the people who would normally be standing up and helping Trump fight all this? Where are they? Devin Nunes is. Devin Nunes is about to blow a gasket over the FBI &#8212; the House Intelligence Committee has regularly asked for this Strzok guy to show up and testify about what the hell he did and what his text messages were to his mistress about how they both hated Trump. And the FBI says, &#8220;Screw you! We don\u2019t have to answer to you, you\u2019re a low congressman. Who do you think you are? We\u2019re not talking to you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And they didn\u2019t. He\u2019s about ready to blow his gasket. The swamp is not cooperating. They\u2019re simply telling these chump change congressmen to go suck it. Their way, way outside &#8212; you know, if Nixon had been doing any of this, it would be a whole different story. This is uncharted territory because normally these procedures are followed and met because the Constitution\u2019s the rule of law, it\u2019s the glue that holds things together.<\/p>\n<p>But when you\u2019ve got the FBI playing a one way game here and the congressional committee, which has oversight over the executive branch and has to look at these irregularities and subpoenas or asks for testimony from FBI agents and the FBI says, &#8220;Screw you. We\u2019re not showing up. We\u2019re not telling you anything,&#8221; then what do you do? All it takes is a couple people who decide the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, now, the stated reason that Mueller is going after Deutsche Bank, Trump\u2019s Deutsche Bank records. Get this. I mean, on the surface, what the hell does this have to do with Russian collusion? Well, somebody put a rumor out some time ago that Trump\u2019s financial dealings with Deutsche Bank had connections to Russia, and those connections to Russia via Deutsche Bank might show that Trump colluded with Putin to steal the election from Hillary.<\/p>\n<p>And so Mueller is going to go subpoena and did subpoena, and the Deutsche Bank people are cooperating because they\u2019re scared to death, too, they don\u2019t need this. And Deutsche Bank is one of the prime lenders of the Trump organization when they need money for real estate development. So there\u2019s a rumor that there\u2019s financial dealings there, Deutsche Bank, Trump, and Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Sure they can try to stop it. But the point is that Mueller is going there. And this is Trump family finances that precede any Trump intention to seek the presidency. It\u2019s just another bit of evidence that this is an impeachment investigation. It\u2019s not a collusion investigation. It is not a counterintelligence investigation, and it\u2019s not even a criminal investigation. This is an investigation where they hope to produce, not enough evidence to &#8212; well, they do. They hope to persuade the American people because impeachment is a political event.<\/p>\n<p>Folks, the game plan here, they are counting on the Democrats winning the House in 2018. So this is gonna go on all through next year. This is gonna be one of the many things the media and the left are gonna use to try to impact campaigns next year so that Democrats retake the House. And then, when Democrats retake the House, you watch how fast Mueller puts his investigation to bed and turns it over to the Democrats who will then be running the House theoretically to begin preparation of articles of impeachment. That\u2019s what all this is predicated on. Democrats control. If the Republicans control the House then all this is kind of moot.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I just hit on the answer. The caller said, &#8220;What\u2019s the endgame, how do we stop this?&#8221; He was asking, how do we stop the Mueller investigation? You\u2019re not gonna stop it.
