RUSH: So have you heard the latest on Strzok and Robert Ohr, DOJ, and his wife Nellie? You know, they were communicating by ham radio. She applied for a ham radio license during their investigation of Trump, all this time they were prepping the Trump dossier, so that their communications couldn\u2019t be monitored by anybody.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re sitting in the deputy director of the FBI\u2019s office, and they\u2019re talking politics. They\u2019re talking politics! They\u2019re not talking the investigation. They\u2019re talking politics! Strzok is sitting there saying (imitating Strzok), “Well, I don\u2019t know. Your idea –” talking to his mistress, Lisa Page. “I don\u2019t know your plan, your theory here that Trump has no way of winning, I don\u2019t know, we need a backup plan, we can\u2019t count on that.” They\u2019re talking politics inside the FBI\u2019s office, the deputy director.<\/p>\n

Now we find out that Robert Ohr\u2019s wife applied for a ham radio license? This is shortwave, ladies and gentlemen. Apparently the NSA doesn\u2019t monitor shortwave. That kind of surprised me. I thought the NSA Hoovered up everything. But the point is that they were looking for a communications ability that could not be monitored during a so-called up and up investigation.<\/p>\n
I tell you, I\u2019m getting so frustrated at people who say, “Look, we gotta be able to understand that people of different political persuasions can conduct a fair investigation. Just because the investigators may be partisan Hillary donors or Hillary supporters doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re not good lawmen.” Why are we so obtuse? Why don\u2019t we see what\u2019s going on? Well, enough of us do.<\/p>\n
I know there are people that want to protect the reputation of the FBI, and there are people that want to protect the reputation of DOJ and all this at all costs because of the overall importance long-term of those institutions. But, for crying out loud, some of this stuff is just now getting to be beyond the pale and beyond any ability to rationalize it as what they claim it is, an aboveboard, fair, nonpartisan, unbiased investigation. It\u2019s quite the opposite.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll tell you something else that bugs me. You know, yesterday was crabby<\/a>? Well, I\u2019m crabby, \u2019cause I\u2019ll tell you why I\u2019m crabby today. Because yesterday everybody\u2019s telling me how crabby they are. Today I\u2019ve got nothing but pessimism. You would not believe the email, pessimism, fatalism. You people don\u2019t know what I put up with here every day. It\u2019s incredible! You know, everybody dumps on me. Everybody tells me how mad they are, how depressed they are, how ticked off, how whatever. I can\u2019t do that with anybody. Do you realize I can\u2019t whine to anybody. I can\u2019t complain to anybody \u2019cause when I do it it\u2019s news.<\/p>\n Literally, I have to keep all this stuff in. I can\u2019t say a word to anybody about anything with confidence that it\u2019s gonna stay where I tell \u2019em, other than Kathryn, of course. But I mean other than that I can\u2019t tell anybody what I really think about things, what I\u2019m really feeling about things. And of course I was raised not to share feelings anyway. That was part of being a man back when I was raised.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: The more I think about this, the more I think… I was on Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday<\/a> back in the spring. I wish I had bounced out of this chair and stood up and run right to that camera and started screaming. “This is so outrageous! This whole thing. It did not happen! We are ruining lives over something that did not happen.”<\/p>\n I\u2019m sorry; I\u2019ll stop. I\u2019ve been… If I go forward on this it\u2019ll be four days in a row and you\u2019ve heard it. Been there, done that. But it just frosts me. And then everybody falls in line. “Well, there\u2019s an investigation. We must see the investigation through.” Why can\u2019t you say the investigation\u2019s unjustified? Why can\u2019t we just say, “It\u2019s bogus; this whole thing has been manufactured”? This is unreal, the way this is happening! Donald Trump Jr. with two 10-hour interviews over a 20-minute meeting, for example, and that\u2019s not even the worst of it.<\/p>\n The worst of it is there isn\u2019t any collusion, and they\u2019re not even investigating that anymore. Now they\u2019re trying to manufacture that Trump obstructed justice, and we\u2019ve got obvious partisans doing everything they can to hide what they\u2019re doing. They\u2019ve been caught and now it\u2019s, “Well, we can\u2019t assume that just because they\u2019re partisan, that they wouldn\u2019t do a fair investigation.” The hell we can\u2019t! Our intelligence requires us to admit that they are screwing with us, and they\u2019re doing it on purpose, and they\u2019re doing it (in their minds) with impunity.<\/p>\n How is this happening? I\u2019ll tell you what I think. You know, there is a massive inspectors general investigation of the DOJ and the FBI going on. The inspector general is somebody, and every department has one. There\u2019s one over at the Department of Agriculture. There\u2019s one at every cabinet level bureaucracy. They\u2019re everywhere. And structurally, ostensibly they\u2019re there to investigate what these agencies are doing and keeping \u2019em on the up and up.<\/p>\n Well, the inspector general is investigating this investigation. It\u2019s not a formal investigation like a new special counsel would be, but it is an examination of the procedures, and it\u2019s been going on for quite a while. And it\u2019s got to be — these texts have to be — the result of leaks from the inspector general\u2019s office. Now, why would the IG be leaking this stuff that\u2019s damaging to these investigators? Why would the IG…? And I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s a Trump appointee or if it\u2019s a holdover Obama.<\/p>\n It\u2019s if it\u2019s a holdover Obama, I really don\u2019t believe this is happening. But why would an inspector general be leaking this stuff? There\u2019s a reason these people leak. Every leaker has his own reason for doing so. We know that the leakers in the deep state were trying to undermine Trump. But why are we reading, why are we learning what Peter Strzok was saying back and forth to his mistress? And why are we learning what they were talking about in Andrew McCabe\u2019s office?<\/p>\n Well, there is a theory out there that holds that the inspector general has a dynamite report coming that\u2019s gonna blow this whole thing to smithereens, and these leaks are a way of setting us up — the American people up — for what is coming. So that when it does report, it\u2019s not a series of, “My God, I didn\u2019t know that,” that it\u2019s gonna confirm what these little leaks have informed us week after week after week. Now, I can\u2019t say that I\u2019m familiar with inspectors general and how they operate and all that, so I can only share with you that particular theory.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the text. This is, again, from Lisa Page to Strzok: “So, look, you say we text on that phone when we talk about Hillary because it can\u2019t be traced…?” So she\u2019s telling him, she\u2019s actually asking him, “You\u2019re saying we should use that phone because it can\u2019t be traced while we\u2019re talking about Hillary?” Why would it matter if they\u2019re being overheard if all they\u2019re doing is conducting an investigation? But they\u2019re talking politics here. They\u2019re talking strategy. They\u2019re talking ways to undermine Trump here after the election, and they don\u2019t want anybody to know it.<\/p>\n And this is what the IG is leaking. Now the question Kimberley Strassel asks is: “How many people at FBI did that?” How many other people were using “that phone,” quote, unquote, when they were talking about Hillary so that it could have been traced? I\u2019m sorry, folks, but I\u2019m having the damnedest time believing that all of these partisans were fair investigators as we\u2019re being told to treat them. I\u2019m just… I\u2019m having the toughest time. Their texts back and forth to each other clearly indicate their bias and their hatred of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n Imagine these people on election night. We just had a caller about the rage and anger on Twitter and how it\u2019s poisoning our society, and it is. I want you to imagine, these people — Peter Strzok, Andrew McCabe (whose wife was running for the Senate in Virginia and got money from Terry McAuliffe, a full-fledged Democrat). Strzok and this babe hate Trump. Now, I want you to imagine these people all during the campaign and on election night thinking Hillary\u2019s gonna win.<\/p>\n They all thought Hillary was gonna win. There was no thought that there would ever be one of these investigations because there would never need to be. They weren\u2019t thinking Russian collusion. They weren\u2019t talking about Russian collusion because they weren\u2019t gonna taint Hillary\u2019s win, so there wasn\u2019t any Russian collusion. Hillary had been exonerated by Comey back on July 5th. They had taken care of that.<\/p>\n They had said she\u2019s not gonna be prosecuted because they couldn\u2019t find where she intended to break the law even though the statute does not require that. So they clearly stacked the deck for Hillary. She had trafficked in classified data and documents on her illegal server, and she was exonerated. Her interview was not even… She wasn\u2019t even under oath, and Comey\u2019s exoneration of her happened even before she was interviewed. She was interviewed as a formality.<\/p>\n So imagine these people all during the campaign. They\u2019re seething. They hate Trump. They hate Trump because he\u2019s a barbarian, he\u2019s a pig, whatever these leftists conjure up in their own poisoned minds. The degree of hatred they have for Trump knows no bounds, and they want Trump punished for even getting this far. The fact that he won the Republican primary? They want to destroy Trump. They want to make sure nobody ever tries this again.<\/p>\n They can\u2019t comprehend this. They can\u2019t absorb this. I\u2019m talking about Strzok. I\u2019m talking about Rosenstein. I\u2019m talking about all of these people, Mueller, all of these people, they\u2019re all the same. I\u2019m talking about Lisa Page, McCabe, all of these people who had exonerated Hillary were preparing to celebrate the demise of Donald Trump. And he wins. And I think they lose their grip.<\/p>\n And so then they have to gin it all up again. They\u2019ve got to get rid of Trump. And we\u2019ve got the texts to prove they\u2019re talking about it, even before the election. They\u2019re worried that he might win. They\u2019re confident he won\u2019t, but they want an insurance policy. We\u2019ve got a text between Strzok and Lisa Page where she lays out in McCabe\u2019s office, the DOJ, the second command in the FBI, they\u2019re in there talking about the presidential election. These people are now part of the investigation.<\/p>\n And Lisa Page says, “Look. I\u2019ve looked at this every which way but Sunday. There\u2019s no way the guy wins.” And Strzok says, “I don\u2019t know. We need an insurance policy just in case.” And now we\u2019ve got one! Their investigation. This gobbledygook, this utter turd of an investigation is the insurance company, and they\u2019re implementing it, and they\u2019re doing it. “So look, you say we text on that phone when we talk about Hillary because it can\u2019t be traced –” How many other people were doing that?<\/p>\n The wife — another story — the wife of the Department of Justice deputy was a Fusion GPS employee, a CIA research aide, and applied for a ham radio license one month after contracting Christopher Steele to write the Trump dossier. Hillary and her campaign working with these people contracted that dossier, which is the turd that forms the turd of this investigation.<\/p>\n “Contacted by Fox News, investigators for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) confirmed that Nellie H. Ohr, wife of the demoted official, Bruce G. Ohr, worked for the opposition research firm last year. The precise nature of Mrs. Ohr\u2019s duties \u2013 including whether she worked on the dossier \u2013 remains unclear but a review of her published works available online reveals Mrs. Ohr has written extensively on Russia-related subjects. HPSCI staff confirmed to Fox News that she was paid by Fusion GPS through the summer and fall of 2016.”<\/p>\n But it doesn\u2019t stop there. Mrs. Ohr was not only a Fusion GPS contract employee, but she was part of the CIA\u2019s open source works in Washington. Both Mr. and Mrs. Ohr worked in a collaborative group project surrounding international organized crime. A month after Hillary hired Fusion GPS — this is in April of 2016. That\u2019s when Hillary hired Fusion GPS — to subcontract the Trump dossier, Christopher Steele. She hired him. And if she did, these people all knew this was happening, because it\u2019s clear the Obama Department of Justice, the FBI were working with the Clinton campaign on the dossier and to undermine the Trump campaign.<\/p>\n A month after Hillary hired Fusion GPS in April of 2016 to subcontract retired MI6 agent, Christopher Steele, to write the Trump dossier, Nellie Ohr applied for a ham radio license on May 23rd of 2016. A communication tool that would allow her and Christopher Steele, the author of the dossier, the ability to communicate outside the normal risk of communication intercepts.<\/p>\n “Keeping in mind, both Bruce and Nellie Ohr\u2019s subject matter skill-set within the DOJ would provide them with a comprehensive understanding of how to network and communicate with international actors outside the traditional risk of communication intercepts. In short, Mrs. Nelli Ohr would know that using HAM radio frequencies would be a way to avoid the risk of U.S. intelligence intercepts on her communications.”<\/p>\n The Clinton campaign hired Fusion GPS in April of 2016 and contracted for the Trump dossier to be written. What are we talking about here? The Clinton campaign orders this thing, which then becomes the foundation, the basis for this turd investigation. This thing needs to be disbanded and disbanded yesterday. It\u2019s a sham! And to this day there\u2019s no evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia, and there won\u2019t be because there isn\u2019t. They\u2019re still trying to manufacture that. They\u2019ve given up on it. Now they\u2019re trying to create process crime. Lying to investigators about irrelevant crap.<\/p>\n But we\u2019re told by some that these people can compartmentalize. Yes they may be pro-Obama, yes they may be big Democrats, but they\u2019re skilled career investigators and we shouldn\u2019t have a problem with biased people. This is how we just dig our own grave, and we shovel ourselves in it in our reluctance or unwillingness to see what\u2019s right in front of our face, and not just right in front of our face see it, it\u2019s hitting us upside the head each and every day.<\/p>\n Another text. Peter Strzok to Lisa Page: “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy\u2019s office –” McCabe “– that there\u2019s no way he gets elected. I\u2019m afraid we can\u2019t take that risk.” “I\u2019m afraid we can\u2019t take that risk.” That\u2019s when everything changed. That text is a show stopper. Strzok has to be placed under oath. After all, we\u2019re talking about the possible interference with a presidential election and they say we can\u2019t take the risk that Trump might win.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: Bob in Coronado, California. Glad you waited, sir. What\u2019s happening?<\/p>\n CALLER: Hi, Rush. I\u2019m maximally frustrated. It only relates to the last year I had to listen daily about the Russians and collusion. And now, as you mentioned briefly a few minutes ago, we\u2019re starting to find out piece by piece that it appeared that the Hillary and the Democratic Party\/DNC colluded with the Russians. It appears that they colluded with the FBI. And I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a big stretch — which, to me, is just frightening as can be — that the FBI may have colluded through Fusion GPS with the Russians.<\/p>\n RUSH: Exactly! <\/p>\n RUSH: What we\u2019re learning because of these texts and what our common sense tells us, it is the FBI meddling in the election. It\u2019s the FBI and the Department of Justice coordinating with the Clinton campaign. And that\u2019s the meddling. And if you want to say they meddled with the dossier, well, the dossier has roots to Russians because Christopher Steele (who wrote the dossier) claims that Russians helped him source it. So the collusion here — in these texts that we\u2019re learning from Strzok to Lisa Page — are indicating FBI meddling in the 2016 election! <\/p>\n How else do you interpret Strzok wishing for an “insurance policy” in case Trump wins?<\/p>\n And now these clowns are part of an investigation of collusion between Trump and Russia of which this isn\u2019t any, no evidence whatsoever, and now they\u2019re moving on to Trump obstructing justice by firing Comey and what have you. That\u2019s what this is. The “insurance policy” is this newfangled turd of an investigation that we\u2019re being made to sit through after a year of being told that Trump colluded with the Russians. People\u2019s lives are being destroyed over this. People\u2019s livings. The way people earn a living is being destroyed and trashed over all this because a bunch of liberals have their noses out of joint that Hillary lost, despite their help!<\/p>\n CALLER: And, Rush, I might add that besides the fact that Peter Strzok would be one horrible name to have in junior high school, I\u2019m shocked that the swamp that votes 96% Dem in Washington, DC, and northern Virginia, that they will now will investigate themselves. And I think this investigation should come from somewhere else, maybe the North Dakota branch of the FBI. <\/p>\n But to allow the Washington, DC, FBI, when you see with their leadership, the fourth and fifth people, where they stand and who they\u2019re married to, I mean, it can\u2019t go on like this. This is a national emergency. I\u2019ve never seen anything like it. It makes Watergate pale by comparison.<\/p>\n RUSH: Watergate, Mister Rogers\u2019 Neighborhood, compared to this. But, you know, you hit on something. You say the South Dakota FBI, I\u2019d take the Fargo branch, if there is one. There is on the TV show. But stop and think of this. Okay, so Trump is doing his job and he fires Comey and this and that and the other thing, all these phony — think of the Sessions recusal, which was totally unnecessary. So he talked to the Russian ambassador. Big whoop! Everybody did. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ObamaDeep-State.jpg\")
“You should have heard what Rush told me the other day,” blam, blam, blam, and then it\u2019s everywhere. I have to hold everything in. Hang on. My alarm just went off here. I gotta unplug the phone, make sure it doesn\u2019t charge too much. I have a technique here. Here we go. Done. So I have to — (interruption) What do you mean, ‘”Talk to the cat”? How do I know the cat doesn\u2019t leak?<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MuellerStrzok-Getty-640x480-300x225.jpg\")
Getting ham radio licenses so that they can talk to each other and not be overheard by anybody in an investigation? Talking political outcomes in the FBI deputy director\u2019s office? What I\u2019m talking about is this. There\u2019s a Kimberley Strassel tweet… You know, here\u2019s another thing. Why are we learning about these texts? You know, there\u2019s a steady drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip leak of these text messages between Peter Strzok and his mistress, Page something or other. Something Page. Lisa Page.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/TweetStrassel.jpg\")
<\/a>But since I\u2019m so unaccustomed to leaks benefiting us, I\u2019m so unaccustomed to inspectors general working for us, that, I\u2019m sorry, I\u2019m just automatically suspicious. I\u2019m not characterizing this in any way. I just… These leaks are not making these people look good in any way or stretch the imagination. They are illustrating how this investigation is corrupted. Here Kimberley Strassel\u2019s latest tweet<\/a>. “This April text from Page to Strzok raises a whole new host of question for FBI.”<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/310-robert-mueller-300x300.jpg\")
But with them and Trump, it\u2019s personal. They literally hate him. But that\u2019s mitigated by their confidence that Hillary\u2019s gonna win. So election night. And they are upended. And they\u2019re bamboozled. And they\u2019re blown out of the water. They are in shock, literal shock. They are in literal clinical depression. They are in a clinical state of disbelief. They cannot believe. They have stacked the deck for her. They did every dirty trick they could to poison the electorate\u2019s mind on Trump. Hillary even won the popular vote.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/TrumpRushLeviathan-2.jpg\")
Department of Justice Associate Deputy Attorney General, Bruce Ohr, was demoted because he had working relationships with Steele and Fusion GPS. More importantly, or perhaps conveniently, according to James Rosen, Bruce Ohr did not reveal his October 2016 contacts with Steele or Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS to the leadership of the Department of Justice. The ongoing dossier story gets far more intriguing as it is now discovered that Bruce Ohr\u2019s wife, Nellie, actually worked for Fusion GPS and helped guide the Russian dossier.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/FBIFractured-B.jpg\")
