RUSH: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I\u2019m gonna get to the memo here in just a minute. Supposedly the FBI chief who Trump named is — well, CNN says the FBI chief is clashing with Trump on the release of the memo. Now, let me just tell you, the FBI chief has to publicly oppose releasing the memo in order to maintain morale inside the FBI. That\u2019s my guess. Now, Snerdley told me he thinks it\u2019s a slam dunk, the memo\u2019s gonna get released because the chief of staff John Kelly said it\u2019s gonna be, but, my friends, I wouldn\u2019t cash in my chips on this just yet.<\/p>\n
I mentioned this to Snerdley and he said, “What do you mean? Of course they\u2019re gonna release it.” I wouldn\u2019t go to the bank on this yet. I\u2019m not gonna believe it until I see it released. I hope it is. Don\u2019t misunderstand.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, there is a narrative today.\u00a0 This is what this springs from.\u00a0 Last night after Trump finished and he was walking out signing autographs and posing for selfies and so forth, somebody urged him — some member of Congress urged him — to release the memo and Trump said, “Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! A hundred percent! Gonna do it. Gonna do it.”<\/p>\n
Well, this sent the left into a panic, because up until then there is always held out hope that maybe they could get this thing suppressed.\u00a0 They don\u2019t want it out there because it\u2019s the truth.\u00a0 So the narrative today is that high officials in the Justice Department and the FBI do not want this memo released because it contains many factual inaccuracies and would pose a great security risk.\u00a0 Now, I think this is total BS.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s a made-up lie.<\/p>\n
But it becomes a news narrative.\u00a0 The media doesn\u2019t care, as long as somebody they trust on the left says it, it could be a blind source in the FBI.\u00a0 It could be a confidential informant. You know, a leaker in the DOJ.\u00a0 “Yeah, yeah, we\u2019re really afraid here. This thing\u2019s got so much in it that\u2019s wrong.”\u00a0 That\u2019s all they need.\u00a0 That\u2019s all they need.\u00a0 As long as they\u2019re not making it up, as long as they can slough it off to a source, they\u2019ll run with it.<\/p>\n
And CNN hasn\u2019t let this go.<\/p>\n
From the moment they dropped coverage of the Republican train wiping out that pickup truck, they have not let go of the story that high officials in the FBI and the DOJ are begging the administration not to release this because it is so wrong — and I don\u2019t believe that it\u2019s wrong.\u00a0 I don\u2019t believe it\u2019s factually incorrect at all.\u00a0 It\u2019s just pressure being mounted not to release this thing precisely… If it were factually incorrect, the Democrats would want it out there so they could destroy it with the truth!\u00a0 This is what you have to think. If they\u2019re desperate to keep this thing hidden and if they\u2019re out there saying that it\u2019s factually incorrect, they ought to welcome it.<\/p>\n
They run the media.\u00a0 They control the media!\u00a0 They could have any reaction to this they want.\u00a0 And if it is wrong, all they have to do is tell us what\u2019s wrong and present us with the truth.\u00a0 Why wouldn\u2019t they want this opportunity?\u00a0 If the Republicans have put together a four-page memo explaining all of the malfeasance that has gone on in the FBI and the DOJ in this investigation, if it\u2019s wrong, why wouldn\u2019t the Democrats want an opportunity for the Republicans to make a fool of themselves?\u00a0 Because that\u2019s what this would be, wouldn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
If Devin Nunes and his gang that put this thing together… If it\u2019s that bad, if it\u2019s that wrong, let them make fools of themselves and let them destroy their credibility forever.\u00a0 The Democrats and let media should be welcoming the release of this memo, if it\u2019s wrong, if it\u2019s mistaken, if it is factually incorrect.\u00a0 But they really do want it suppressed because it is factually correct, and they don\u2019t have any alternative.\u00a0 They can\u2019t take this memo and point out what\u2019s wrong and then show us the truth.<\/p>\n
