Could that be \u2019cause you guys haven\u2019t reported it? Could it be because the Drive-By Media hasn\u2019t reported it either, or has mocked it, or impugned it, or made fun of it &#8212; or the chairman himself? Could that possibly be one of the reasons?<\/p>\n<p>And, by the way, Hill.com, within certain segments of America and the media, it is a bombshell, and so is the follow-up memo from <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2018\/02\/07\/the-grassley-memo-bombshells\/\">Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham about what\u2019s been going on at the State Department, which we detailed yesterday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-226803\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Nunes-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Nunes-2.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Nunes-2-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>&#8220;Even before the memo &#8211;&#8221; I\u2019m reading from TheHill.com. &#8220;Even before the memo was released last Friday, media reports suggested that even some figures within the White House considered the document underwhelming. That judgment seems to have been borne out, as the memo has begun to fade from the headlines with the political landscape not fundamentally altered.&#8221; That you know of. See, this is the thing. Because nobody\u2019s talking about it where you live, Hill.com, because nobody\u2019s talking about it. If they are talking about it, they\u2019re talking about it as, &#8220;Boy, what a dud this was.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But you people have no idea how this memo has been received out there in flyover country; just like you have no idea why Donald Trump\u2019s approval numbers continue to skyrocket; just like you had no idea that the tax cut plan was going to be as effective as it has.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joyce White Vance, a former United States attorney for the Northern District of Alabama &#8211;&#8221; look how far they had to go to find a source, said, &#8220;I don\u2019t think that it is the bombshell that it was billed as being.&#8221; Joyce White Vance, former United States attorney, Northern District of Alabama, with no disrespect to judges, who?<\/p>\n<p>This is how far the AP had to go to find someone who would agree with them? Can you imagine the stench of having to actually quote somebody from Alabama, if you\u2019re the AP? Good Lord. It\u2019s bad enough when you occasionally have to go there, but now to have to cite a source from Alabama saying the memo was not the bombshell.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s this line: &#8220;Other experts in the field argue that the memo has actually helped the FBI and DOJ.&#8221; Of course it does. What could be better for the reputation of the FBI than an unrefuted claim that says the FBI lied to the FISA court in order to spy on a political campaign and that the DOJ signed off on these lies. I have been doing more thinking about this. And I just had some, I don\u2019t know, random questions. And it\u2019s not that they just recently occurred to me. They\u2019ve been floating around inside the deep, dark crevices of my fertile and wonderful mind, and I just decided to try to crystallize them today.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t have this in any particular order here. But my first question &#8212; and I realize some of this is rhetorical, and I realize that when I verbalize this a lot of you, &#8220;Well, Rush, I could tell you that. I would think you would know that.&#8221; I understand that some of these questions I do have the answers to, but I still want to provide the service, the effectiveness of asking.<\/p>\n<p>For example, why did the FBI believe Christopher Steele? Let\u2019s set this up. As best we know now, the Clinton campaign and Hillary, Sidney Blumenthal, any number of people commissioned this guy to go write this memo. It was an opposition research project, and the objective was to make it look like it was legitimate intelligence that had been gathered, assembled, put together by real spies with credibility. But we have learned the FBI never contacted any of the sources in this memo.<\/p>\n<p>So why did they believe Steele? Why did they believe the memo? They had to believe some of it in order to use it as they did. If they didn\u2019t believe any of this and still used it, why &#8212; by the way, I have further information, for those of you wondering what\u2019s the recourse with the judge or judges under the premise the FISA court judges were misled and lied to. Okay. So what\u2019s the remedy for this? Well, unfortunately, the remedy involves bringing up the chief justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, to testify, which is never gonna happen. Separation of Powers. But he\u2019s the head honcho of the FISA court. He names the judges, he names the presiding judge, and so any remedy would have to involve him if there is to be an investigation or any other aspect of this.<\/p>\n<p>Did the judges know that they were being lied to? Were the judges in on it? Any attempt to answer those questions, I\u2019m told, involves the Supreme Court chief justice, which is unlikely to happen, which means that these will remain questions that are unanswered.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-259752\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/650-102517-Trump-Dossier.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/650-102517-Trump-Dossier.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/650-102517-Trump-Dossier-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>So why did they believe Steele? The FBI needed an insurance policy in case the dossier wasn\u2019t 100 percent correct. I think they believed the Steele memo because in their minds in the FBI, Trump was unfit. It was their job to stop him. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any question that that is what motivated all of this. The FBI long ago decided Hillary Clinton would be the Democrat &#8212; well, Barack Obama decided that Hillary Clinton would be the Democrat nominee for president.<\/p>\n<p>And Barack Obama exonerated her publicly. Barack Obama said, &#8220;She didn\u2019t do anything wrong, she didn\u2019t intend to do anything wrong, and nothing went wrong, so there\u2019s nothing to see here.&#8221; That sends a signal: Don\u2019t prosecute the woman. And they didn\u2019t. And on July 5th of 2016, Comey exonerated her.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI was acting accordingly. She would not be held responsible for her illegal behavior, her illegal server, trafficking in classified data, over her four years as secretary of state. She was not to be held accountable or responsible for any of that. And so a handful of top people at the FBI had decided it would be in their best interests if Hillary were the next president, because a lot of powerful people above them wanted Hillary to be the next president.<\/p>\n<p>And this Trump guy&#8230; You gotta put yourself in these people\u2019s shoes. This Trump guy is out there doing rally after rally after rally and they\u2019re watching these people they think are lunatics in the audience shouting, &#8220;Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock her up!&#8221; The FBI agents can see this. Agents &#8212; Strzok, Page, Comey &#8212; they see this. What do you think their reaction is when they see this every day? &#8220;Lock her up! Lock her up!&#8221; Their reaction is, &#8220;Screw you! Screw you!&#8221; &#8220;Lock her up! Lock her up!&#8221; &#8220;Screw you!&#8221; &#8220;Lock her up! Lock her up!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not a chance! Keep shouting, you rubes. It ain\u2019t happening.&#8221; If Trump ends up being elected, there\u2019d be a whole lot of more people in trouble than Hillary, so that couldn\u2019t happen. Hillary had to be protected because Obama had to be protected. After all, Obama had lied about his knowledge of Hillary\u2019s server, and the FBI officials in question were dyed-in-the-wool Democrats. They had the advantage of knowing better than &#8220;the deplorables&#8221; who were out there shouting, &#8220;Lock her up!&#8221; So everybody at the top of the FBI knew that Hillary Clinton was getting a pass.<\/p>\n<p>Everybody at the top of the FBI knew that there was never, ever gonna be a serious investigation of Hillary Clinton. I think&#8230; I\u2019ve tried to look at this from as many different perspectives as I can, from the people involved in it at the FBI, the DOJ, the Obama White House, and then us, the consumers of news dealing with what we are learning day in and day out. While all this is going on, we don\u2019t know that the fix is in. We are gradually becoming suspicious, but we don\u2019t know for certain.<\/p>\n<p>The July 5th press conference gives us a pretty good indication. Clinton can sit here and talk with the attorney general on tarmac in Phoenix and nothing happens there. We got a pretty good idea. But then on September 28th, when Comey announces a Republican opening the Clinton email investigation because they found some emails on the server of Carlos Danger, the husband of Huma Weiner, we say, &#8220;Hey, wait a minute,&#8221; and Hillary to this day thinks that\u2019s what doomed her. And that\u2019s why she says, &#8220;Hey, all this talk about the FBI being in the tank for me? That\u2019s a crock. Look what they did to me on September 28th.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-263158\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Christopher-Steele-SMALL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Christopher-Steele-SMALL.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Christopher-Steele-SMALL-158x300.jpg 158w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>Anyway, the Steele dossier gave them an excuse to help dig up better dirt using the FISA court to use either to disqualify Trump or to do great damage if he happened to be elected. Now, I would love to know also the terms of the original agreement for the compilation of the so-called dossier with Fusion GPS and Steele. Meaning: I\u2019d like to know how it happened. Who called who, who discussed money, and who told Fusion GPS and Steele what they wanted? Now, we know this came from Hillary\u2019s campaign and the DNC.<\/p>\n<p>I want to know what the phone call is. They call Fusion GPS, and they say, &#8220;Look, we need to create a document here that looks like intelligence. Do you know anybody that can do this and what would they charge us?&#8221; Did Hillary and the DNC then spell out the kind of stuff they wanted? Remember, this was an opposition research document made to look like real intelligence. It was never intended to be intelligence. So I doubt they called Steele and they said, &#8220;Look, we need you to find some dirt on Trump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What they were really saying is, &#8220;We need you to prepare a document that\u2019s gonna make it look like Trump has been colluding with Russia.&#8221; I just would like to know how that happens. What were the terms? Because by all appearances, the dossier was compiled simply to smear Trump, as if the task was to take out Trump by any means possible. It wasn\u2019t research; it was slander &#8212; easily researched and rejected slander. Like Harry Reid\u2019s slander of Mitt Romney that he hadn\u2019t paid his taxes in 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>Like Ted Kennedy\u2019s repeated multiple slanders of Robert Bork. Like the repeated slanders of Clarence Thomas. This was just a continuation of all of that. But how do they order it? What were the terms of the original agreement between Hillary, Fusion GPS, and Steele? And will we ever find any documents related to that. The dossier was not a one-off. It was not a hit-and-run dirty trick. It was as if everything depended on the dossier being used. They had to get it created; then they had to find a way to get it thrown into the mix as intelligence.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-254652\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/HillaryBillFusion.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"422\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/HillaryBillFusion.jpg 422w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/HillaryBillFusion-300x249.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 422px) 100vw, 422px\" \/>And that\u2019s where Obama officials and James Comey extended the hand of welcome and said, &#8220;Hand it to us! We\u2019ll take care of it. We\u2019ll use it as the basis of an investigation into Trump.&#8221; Well, who originally planned for that to happen? Did that just happen on its own, or is this part of some grand scheme all designed to make it look like this is what happens when real intel is being gathered? We know there was no attempt to verify Steele\u2019s information by Fusion or the Clinton campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI never made one effort to talk to any of the sources in the dossier. It ended up being used as if it was assembled exactly as directed. For example&#8230; Look, this thing is dead wrong. Has Hillary or Fusion sued Steele for giving them bad data? I mean, if you\u2019re looking for&#8230; Let\u2019s play this out the way they intended us to consume this. This is an intelligence document. This is the result of real investigation and intelligence-gathering worldwide, some of the finest agents and finest sources, and we\u2019re gonna put this together, and we\u2019re gonna prove that Trump\u2019s been colluding with Russian, and then they are presented with the dossier.<\/p>\n<p>And guess what? Not a word in it is true, and you\u2019ve just paid $10 million for it. Wouldn\u2019t you be mad? Wouldn\u2019t you want your money back? I\u2019m playing the game by their rules. I have commissioned an intelligence document. I want the dirt on Trump colluding with Russia, and what I got was that stupid dossier that none of it can be verified. I\u2019ve paid $10 million for this? Where is the anger? Where are the lawsuits at Fusion GPS and Steele for not doing their job?<\/p>\n<p>Well, of course there aren\u2019t any lawsuits because Fusion and Steele did their jobs. They produced a phony intelligence document that was nothing more than opposition research right out of the Clinton playbook: Made up. The reason they haven\u2019t been sued, the reason they haven\u2019t been criticized is because they produced exactly what was asked for &#8212; and that\u2019s what I would like to see evidence of. Because this is still being realized upon as an intelligence document. There are people still taking this dossier seriously and they\u2019re still considering a legitimate intelligence product.<\/p>\n<p>And if it is, then somebody ought to be really mad and somebody ought to be really embarrassed because they paid for an absolute dud! There\u2019s nothing in it that is correct! Why hasn\u2019t Hillary demanded her money back? Why hasn\u2019t she sued Fusion GPS? Steele\u2019s work product was not opposition research. It looks more like something compiled for the express purpose of smearing Clinton\u2019s opponent. There\u2019s no research here at all.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. For example, here, Hillary Clinton, why is she not outraged at GPS and Christopher Steele for shoddy work? <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2018\/02\/07\/why-arent-the-fisa-judges-outraged\/\">Why aren\u2019t the FISA judges angry over being misled?<\/a> Why aren\u2019t Obama, James Comey, Loretta Lynch outraged over learning FISA judges were deceived? Why isn\u2019t Obama mad after seeing texts from top FBI officials revealing shocking bias and prejudice? Because there isn\u2019t any outrage because the memorandum or the dossier worked exactly as it was designed!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-252169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/ComeyObama-Lynch1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/ComeyObama-Lynch1.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/ComeyObama-Lynch1-300x138.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been in existence in the public domain for a year, and it was used as the basis of an investigation into Trump that is still going on with a special counsel over whether or not he tampered with the Russians to affect the outcome of the election.
