RUSH: There\u2019s that little shifty Adam Schiff. I\u2019m convinced that he did not think his little memo would be voted out<\/a>. I think he\u2019s surprised the Republicans voted to release his memo. His memo was always to remain a talking point, a threat. But his memo\u2019s caca. Nothing in his memo can possibly be true if it rejects the Nunes memo.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 I was right. I was right more than I knew I was right.\u00a0 I told you that Shifty Adam Schiff, Pencil Neck, was playing games with this memo of his.\u00a0 He\u2019s got a 10-page response memo to the Devin Nunes memo<\/a>, and the House Intelligence Committee voted it out today.\u00a0 They voted to release it.\u00a0 Now, I think there\u2019s something that\u2019s not… This is a trick.\u00a0 There are one of two things.\u00a0 Either Schiff never expected this thing to be released, or he had some other reason, \u2019cause they can\u2019t refute the Nunes memo.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Nunes memo is the truth.\u00a0 The Nunes memo is fact.\u00a0 But Schiff and the Democrats felt the need to respond to it because it\u2019s damaging.\u00a0 So now that memo is up at the White House, and just as with the Nunes memo, there are five days that Trump has to decide whether to declassify it.\u00a0 We\u2019re now being told that this shifty little Pencil Neck included information pertaining to sources and methods.<\/p>\n

That cannot be published.\u00a0 That violates national security, gives away trade secrets.\u00a0 It is being said that Schiff included those things precisely because he wanted them redacted so that the Democrats can then say that Trump is denying the public the chance to see everything in the Democrats\u2019 memo.\u00a0 In other words, it\u2019s typical slime by a bunch of slime dwellers led by Adam Schiff.\u00a0 The whole thing is a gambit.\u00a0 It has nothing to do with the substance of the Nunes memo.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Martin in Gillette, Wyoming. It\u2019s great to have you on the program, sir. How are you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m doing great, Rush. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: This whole memo the Democrats are putting out, they want us to believe it, and basically, you know, are trying to tell us the Republicans are lying. If there\u2019s nothing to the Republican memo, why did it take a year to get the documents to \u2019em? If there was nothing in it, they would have handed it over immediately but, you know, they\u2019ve stonewalled us the whole time.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. And if there\u2019s nothing to it, why work so hard to prevent it? If there\u2019s nothing to it, let everybody see it and mock it, make fun of it, expose it as a fraud, if that\u2019s what it is. But they didn\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Nope. Nope. So they\u2019re just, you know, whatever it is they\u2019re doing trying to convince people they\u2019re the ultimate good people, when they\u2019re actually —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s not what they\u2019re trying to do. They don\u2019t really care about that. What they\u2019re trying to do, what Schiff is trying to do with this memo is confound Trump. This is not the Democrats thinking they\u2019ve got the true version of events and their memo spells it. They know the Nunes memo is true. They\u2019re trying to limit the impact of the Nunes memo by calling it into question.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>All they have to do — you all have to remember this. The mainstream media is just waiting for any Democrat anywhere to do or say anything that will allow them to report that critics say X. So all Schiff has to do here is basically get his memo voted out of the committee. All he had to do was to say it exists and then whatever happens, he\u2019s gold. If the Republicans won\u2019t vote it out, then the Democrats and the media have a narrative, “What are the Republicans afraid of? Are they afraid of the truth coming out? Are they afraid that Schiff has exposed Nunes as a liar?” So that\u2019s one possible narrative.<\/p>\n

If the Republicans vote it out and it has the chance of being made public, then it goes up and Trump has to sign off on it.\u00a0 He\u2019s got five days to declassify it.\u00a0 So Schiff in that case, we\u2019re told, has included a bunch of classified information — sources, methods, the way intel is gathered.\u00a0 He\u2019s included that!\u00a0 It has to be redacted.\u00a0 If Trump declassifies it, those secrets have to be covered up and redacted, which will allow the Democrats to say that Trump redacted portions of their memo, which proved that the Nunes memo was not true.<\/p>\n

All they want is for Trump to redact anything.\u00a0 Just put one in there. They could include a sentence in this memo that Trump\u2019s kid smokes dope.\u00a0 Trump would have to redact it; then they can say, “The president is redacting our memo! The president has admitted there are things in our memo he doesn\u2019t want you to see.”\u00a0 It creates a news narrative that the Republicans want to hide something.\u00a0 So there\u2019s no way the media loses, whether the Republicans vote this memo out or not.\u00a0 This is not about, as far as Nunes is concerned, his memo being perceived as the truth.<\/p>\n

It is about providing the media with a new story that the Republican memo is not true and that the Democrat attempt to get the truth out is being covered up and sequestered.\u00a0 It\u2019s just the creation of a story that allows them to keep hammering Trump as dishonest and that this whole Nunes memo story may not be the whole truth and so forth.\u00a0 That\u2019s all it is.\u00a0 It\u2019s designed to put a roadblock up to put an obstacle in the way of getting to the real truth about all of this.\u00a0 It\u2019s entirely political, in other words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
