RUSH: I have so many little helpers out there, I\u2019m just the luckiest guy. I must have had 20 people — that I know — I mean, I haven\u2019t even ventured into the public email inbox. Twenty people, “Rush, Rush, you gotta remember, you gotta remember that Eric Holder said that he was Obama\u2019s wingman.”<\/p>\n

\"\"I said, “That\u2019s right.” I\u2019d forgotten that. It\u2019s a story in the Politico. It was published on their Politico 44 blog, 44 being the presidency of Barack Hussein O. And it\u2019s dated April 4th, 2013. “Eric Holder: ‘I\u2019m Still the President\u2019s Wingman\u2019<\/a> — Attorney General Eric Holder brushed off a question Thursday about when he might leave the administration. Instead, the top lawman professed his allegiance to President Barack Obama.<\/p>\n

Eric Holder: “I\u2019m still the president\u2019s wingman.” Attorney General Eric Holder brushed off a question on Thursday about when he might leave the regime. Instead, the top lawman professed his allegiance to Barack Hussein O.” Can you imagine if Rosenstein proclaimed his allegiance to Trump, what would happen to Rosenstein?<\/p>\n

If you are just joining us, the point here is that they\u2019re now trying to go after Trump for being unqualified and unfit because he supposedly asked Rosenstein — I\u2019m paraphrasing; I don\u2019t have the exact question — but, “Are you on my team? Are you with me?” They said Trump was out there carrying out loyalty oaths. And my point is, how could you blame Trump for thinking that the guy running the Department of Justice is his guy after eight years of Obama and Holder and watching them in action? How could Trump or anybody not get the idea that that\u2019s what the job entails?<\/p>\n

And we have Holder\u2019s own words. “No, I\u2019m not quitting. I\u2019m the president\u2019s wingman,” as he professed his allegiance. He said, “I\u2019m still enjoying what I\u2019m doing, there\u2019s still work to be done. I\u2019m still the president\u2019s wingman, so I\u2019m there with my boy. So we\u2019ll see.” This was an interview on the radio.<\/p>\n

“Holder, who\u2019s been held in contempt the House of Representatives and has been the focus of numerous Republican-led Congressional investigations, also joked that his childhood in New York left him well prepared for the slings and arrows of Washington.”<\/p>\n

\"\"Well, I don\u2019t know how much more wingman — these guys are not out hunting chicks, that we know of, and that\u2019s generally what wingman is meant to imply. They weren\u2019t out there trying to track down Stormy Daniels in the Make America Horny Again tour, that we know of. When Holder said that he is Obama\u2019s wingman, it means exactly that politically, ideologically.<\/p>\n

You guys and all this garbage about Trump demanding loyalty and this or that, again, anybody paying attention could be forgiven their confusion over how things are supposed to operate over there at the DOJ. Isn\u2019t it amazing that when Trump becomes president or when George W. Bush becomes president, all of a sudden the DOJ becomes this hands off well-boundaried institution that the president cannot have any say-so in. The president cannot have a thing to say about what goes on in there. He can\u2019t talk to Jeff Sessions. He can\u2019t talk to the deputy attorney general, he has nothing. He doesn\u2019t understand it, the left says, but the Department of Justice is independent. It must be for a decent and fair America.<\/p>\n

Right. That\u2019s how they portray it when they don\u2019t control it. When they don\u2019t control it, it means the Republicans have to be warned and bullied into staying away from it. Because the Democrats own the Department of Justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
