Gowdy has distanced himself from the Republicans in the House Intelligence Committee who have ended their investigation. Gowdy thinks it is a mistake to have done that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2018\/03\/13\/gowdy-russia-undermine-clinton-republicans-461612\">It\u2019s in The Politico<\/a>. &#8220;Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina said that the evidence gathered by the committee clearly showed Russia\u2019s disdain for Trump\u2019s rival, Hillary Clinton, and was &#8216;motivated in whole or in part by a desire to harm her candidacy or undermine her Presidency had she prevailed.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sorry, Congressman Gowdy, but I disagree with that interpretation of the Russians\u2019 intentions. &#8220;A source familiar with Gowdy\u2019s thinking said the congressman believes there\u2019s no difference between opposing Clinton and backing Trump in what had become, effectively, a two-person race. &#8230; &#8216;He believes the debate over whether desiring a negative outcome for Clinton necessarily meant Russia had a preference for candidate Trump is a distinction that doesn\u2019t make a difference,\u2019 the source said.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-267805\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-031518-Trey-Gowdy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-031518-Trey-Gowdy.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-031518-Trey-Gowdy-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s exactly what Comey said, by the way, in congressional testimony. &#8220;Putin wanted her to lose and him to win?&#8221; Conaway asked? Comey said they\u2019re inseparable. It\u2019s a two person event.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When did you decide Putin wanted him to win, Mr. Comey?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Logically, when he wanted her to lose,&#8221; Comey said to laughter. This is so full of it. This is why you don\u2019t trust any of this. These clowns do not know what Vladimir Putin wanted in terms of preferences. To sit here and tell us that Putin wanted Trump to win and wanted Hillary to lose because of their bogus investigation that doesn\u2019t have any evidence of this? This is all a crock!<\/p>\n<p>What the Russians do &#8212; the answer to this is, everybody thought Trump was going to lose, including the Russians. There\u2019s nobody in their right mind that thought Trump was gonna win. So undermining Hillary in the Russians\u2019 mind is undermining the winner, not promoting the loser! They\u2019re not the same thing. The Russians\u2019 objectives is to destabilize America, not destabilize Hillary. It\u2019s not to promote Donald Trump. It\u2019s to destabilize America. And they\u2019re getting away with it with the ignorance of these arrogant snobs and the FBI and this investigation mischaracterizing what\u2019s happened here.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Comey\u2019s up there telling members of Congress (paraphrasing), &#8220;Well, it\u2019s one in the same thing. If the Russians are trying to hurt Hillary they\u2019re obviously trying to help Trump.&#8221; No! How easily is Comey duped? He believes the dossier which now David Corn and Isikoff say the number one element of the dossier nobody believes it! The golden showers. After all of this time. And how long have these two reporters known this? Well, for as long as they\u2019ve been writing their book.<\/p>\n<p>It is not true that if the Russians were trying to harm Hillary they were trying to help Trump. Everybody thought Hillary was gonna win. One week after Trump wins, what do the Russians do? They sponsor a &#8220;he\u2019s not our president&#8221; rally. And they duped CNN and MSNBC into promoting it. And they got thousands of people to show up to a &#8220;he\u2019s not our president&#8221; rally, the Russians, who supposedly wanted Trump to win!<\/p>\n<p>The Russians want to destabilize the American political system. It doesn\u2019t matter who wins. These clowns want you to believe that if Trump had won, that the Russians would be backing off and that we wouldn\u2019t even be aware of the influence they have over Trump because Trump would have to keep it quiet. What a crock all of this is. Every bit of this is a giant scam, and in the middle of it is a guy with supposedly unimpeachable character and integrity, Robert Mueller of the FBI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The Russians want to destabilize the American political system.
