<\/p>\nRUSH: The Trump hatred is more irrational than ever, and it is as widespread as I\u2019ve ever seen it. It is as infantile and personal as I have ever seen it, and it crosses the spectrum. Hatred for Trump on the left is obvious. The hatred for Trump in so-called conservative circles is just as bad. They\u2019re all together circling the wagons in Washington trying to save the pension of Andrew McCabe.<\/p>\n
Have you heard — (laughing) McCabe has really been exposed as a fraud by the inspector general investigating the FBI. McCabe — you\u2019ve heard the name mentioned — it was in McCabe\u2019s office that Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were talking about whatever steps necessary to take in the event Trump won the presidency. They needed a Plan B.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Strzok and McCabe were partners in an effort here to undermine Trump. It was McCabe that went to the White House shortly after the inauguration of Trump and went to the office of Reince Priebus and said (imitating McCabe), “Reince, I just want to tell you something, buddy. We know that all of these stories, like today\u2019s in the New York Times, and all these other things that say you colluded with Russia, Trump. We know that\u2019s not true. We at the FBI know it\u2019s not true.”<\/p>\n
Priebus says, “Well, what good does telling me do? Can\u2019t you go public with it?”<\/p>\n
“No, no, no, we can\u2019t go public with it.” So then that story leaked, but it leaked in a different way. It leaked that Priebus was begging McCabe to say that Trump was innocent, when McCabe started — it was a setup from the get-go. Well, anyway the inspector general looking at the FBI has concluded that McCabe didn\u2019t do anything wrong there, that McCabe screwed up in the Hillary Clinton investigation.<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s not what you think. They are saying that McCabe was inordinately unfair to Hillary Clinton, that he was out to get her, and he might have violated FBI policies of fairness and what have you, in being too tough on Hillary. And the inspector general has recommended that McCabe be fired. Okay, fine. I probably think he should be charged and indicted, but that\u2019s another matter.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the deal. McCabe is scheduled to resign at the end of the month. Actually, Sunday. And if he\u2019s allowed to work until his official resignation date, then he will qualify with something like 21 years of great service to the United States and the FBI for a full pension. But the inspector general is recommending that McCabe be fired. And if McCabe is fired by tomorrow, he will not get his pension.<\/p>\n
So the pressure is mounting. It\u2019s everywhere in the Drive-By Media, the pressure on Jeff Sessions, “Don\u2019t be a penis. Don\u2019t be a creep. Don\u2019t do it. You can\u2019t fire the guy. That would be disgraceful. That would be horrible. You can\u2019t fire the guy. You need to let him get his pension. Come on, what are we doing here?” I mean the pressure is all over this place. Sessions hasn\u2019t said anything. We don\u2019t know whether McCabe\u2019s gonna get fired or not.<\/p>\n

But I guarantee you, if he does get fired today, it\u2019s gonna have to happen before Sunday. From what I understand McCabe has to be fired before Sunday. If McCabe makes it \u2019til Sunday he gets his full pension, bought and paid for by us, the taxpayers, you know, the dolts in flyover country, people that make the country work. And, if he doesn\u2019t make it \u2019til Friday, if Sessions cans him, and then there\u2019s the question will Sessions last \u2019til Sunday, is Trump gonna can him? (laughing)<\/p>\n
And then next, is Trump gonna get rid of John Kelly, and then who next is Trump gonna get rid of? These people in the media, in the Washington establishment, and even in areas of conservative media are literally obsessed with this stuff. And it\u2019s not complicated what\u2019s going on. I have explained it. Trump\u2019s hitting his stride. He\u2019s putting people he likes and is familiar with in these positions.<\/p>\n
He went the swamp way first. He took advice from people on who he should make secretary of state, secretary of this, secretary of that, \u2019cause like anybody, he didn\u2019t know enough people personally who are experts in all these areas to pick from his circle of acquaintances and friends. So like anybody else arriving in Washington as president, you gotta have advisers and people suggesting various names to you, you can pick and choose from that lot.<\/p>\n
