RUSH: So James Comey has an interview he\u2019s already taped. George Stephanopoulos, the former director of the Clinton war room now disguised and masquerading as a journalist at ABC, did the interview. It\u2019s gonna air in a special edition of ABC\u2019s 20\/20 on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And in the interview, Comey calls Trump a mob boss! He thinks Trump is a mob boss, he acts like a mob boss. And the story is that things that Comey said in this interview stunned everybody on the staff that was watching it. So they\u2019re hyping this thing coming up on Sunday night. And I\u2019ll tell you, the full-court press, the Washington establishment focusing on destroying Donald Trump, it is in full gear, and it doesn\u2019t appear there\u2019s anything to stop it. We just keep chronicling it here and trying to expose it for what it is.<\/p>\n

Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh, another three hours of broadcast excellence. You deserve it, and it\u2019s the only way I know how to do it. 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.<\/p>\n

I want to start with audio sound bites today, because the audio sound bites will get us close to the primary things I wish to discuss today, and there are a lot of them. First, Professor Dershowitz. Professor Dershowitz advised the president last night. He went over to the White House, had dinner, had a meeting with the president. Professor Dershowitz, of course, has become highly critical of Robert Mueller, the independent special counsel, that entire investigation.<\/p>\n

\"\"He is beside himself over the raid of the offices of the home and the hotel room of Mr. Cohen, President Trump\u2019s personal lawyer. He thinks it\u2019s blatantly unconstitutional what happened, that raid. He\u2019s very worried about it. The left is distressed that Dershowitz has chosen sides, and it happens to be Trump\u2019s side. They can\u2019t believe that a Harvard Law professor would be a traitor like this.<\/p>\n

After Dershowitz finished dinner at the White House last night, he made tracks for Fox News for an appearance on Hannity, during which appearance Hannity posited for Dershowitz my theory that what\u2019s going on here is an attempt by the media and other interested parties to goad Trump into firing Robert Mueller, because they don\u2019t have anything. Mueller doesn\u2019t have anything on Trump. If you have any doubts about that, the stuff that Trump is doing and saying in opposition to Putin and Russia, is astounding.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so astounding that even the Drive-Bys have picked up on it. A CBS infobabe who really believes that Trump and Putin colluded can\u2019t figure this out. It doesn\u2019t make sense why Trump would be taking this kind of serious detrimental action toward Putin and Russia. ‘Cause she believes they colluded. So she thinks that Trump is gonna be doing whatever he can do to placate or satisfy Putin because, course, Putin has blackmailable material on Trump. It\u2019s right there in the Trump dossier. It\u2019s comical. Except that it isn\u2019t, because they believe it.<\/p>\n

Rank stupidity has become mainstream thought, opinion, and belief in the American left, including the media. But I really do, folks. We had the audio sound bite yesterday of the montage of so many people literally asking Trump to fire Mueller, asking Trump if he\u2019s gonna fire Mueller, asking Sarah Huckabee Sanders, “Is Trump gonna fire Mueller?”<\/p>\n

Why do they want Trump to fire Mueller? Because they want their own Watergate. They\u2019ve read about Woodward and Bernstein. Oh! Bernstein. I have an audio sound bite. Carl Bernstein says that this raid was designed to scare the president. And he\u2019s applauding it. He\u2019s applauding the full force and power of the law enforcement and deep state community to scare the president. He\u2019s all for it.<\/p>\n

But the Drive-Bys, they can only dream. They can read about Watergate and Woodward and Bernstein taking down a president, but there hasn\u2019t been an opportunity for them to do that, the newbies, until now. They hate Trump. They want Trump gone. They\u2019ve gotten out of bed every day for the last year and a half believing that day, every day was gonna be the day that they would find the smoking gun, silver bullet that would take Trump out. And of course the whole world has been looking for that silver bullet.<\/p>\n

The Democrat Party, the CIA, the NSA, FBI, the DIA, MI5, MI6, the GRU, the KGB, they\u2019ve all been looking for it and nobody has found it, because it doesn\u2019t exist. There is no smoking gun. There is no gun. There is no smoke. There is no silver bullet. There is no werewolf. There is no evidence Trump colluded with Russia. You know why? ‘Cause he didn\u2019t. And Russia didn\u2019t collude with Trump. It didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if they really admit that, but they\u2019re getting worried. They really thought Trump would be gone within six months. And so did the deep state. And Trump\u2019s still there. And did you see what Trump did today? No, you didn\u2019t, because it hasn\u2019t been in the media. Donald Trump reinstituted work requirements for welfare recipients. Wait \u2019til they see it. That\u2019s gonna tick \u2019em off like you can\u2019t believe.<\/p>\n

So Trump continues to just plod on, implementing his agenda as best he can. Sometimes he sidetracks himself by responding to all these distractions by participating in the distraction with some of these tweets, but despite that he keeps on. He continues. So does Scott Pruitt. They are continuing to implement the Trump agenda.<\/p>\n

And so the Drive-Bys are slowly realizing, or maybe fearing, that Mueller doesn\u2019t have anything. ‘Cause, believe me, if he did it would have leaked. ‘Cause they know they are willing participants in this investigation. The media is helping the investigation.<\/p>\n

Oh. Speaking of that, Zuckerberg — I don\u2019t know if he got fooled or “Zucked” into this yesterday, but Zuckerberg admitted that Facebook is working with Mueller. Amidst all this talk from Zuckerberg about how they don\u2019t choose sides and there\u2019s no bias and there\u2019s no this, “We are working with them,” and then he said, “I think it\u2019s best we don\u2019t go any further.”<\/p>\n

So Facebook\u2019s working with Mueller. So even Facebook — Facebook has done more to acquire your data than the NSA has — they can\u2019t find a smoking gun. So the Drive-Bys want Trump to essentially fire himself by firing Mueller. They\u2019re asking him to. They\u2019re asking if he\u2019s going to. They\u2019re asking Sarah Huckabee Sanders.<\/p>\n

Look, they\u2019re goading him into doing it because that\u2019s the only way they think that they\u2019re gonna succeed and be able to participate in the great project of bringing down Donald Trump. So Hannity ran the theory by Professor Dershowitz yesterday<\/a> after Dershowitz arrived at Hannity\u2019s studio after having dinner with Trump.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: The revelation of this news is also designed to goad Trump into firing somebody, firing Mueller is what they actually, I think, are seeking. They want Trump to do something after which they can go get him because they haven\u2019t found anything yet to get him.<\/p>\n

HANNITY: That was Rush Limbaugh making a great point earlier today saying the breathless hysteria media coverage of the Cohen FBI raid, that\u2019s all designed to provoke the president to fire Mueller.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, it\u2019s interesting. I was sitting at home last night minding my own business. I don\u2019t know what I was doing, but all of a sudden the phone started flashing and ringing and the alerts and notifications, and I was getting blasted, the emails and text message, “Hannity just said he\u2019s gonna be talking about you coming up. You need to turn it on and watch.” I must have had 15 or 20 of those.<\/p>\n

One of them was my brother, who, by the way, is going in for a root canal right now. I hope everything goes well. I did nine root canals in one night. After I had my first one, I said, “I\u2019m not doing this a whole bunch of different times.” So I asked the dentist, “Can I do nine of these in one night?”<\/p>\n

He said, “Well, if you can handle it.”<\/p>\n

I said, “How long will it take?”<\/p>\n

He said, “Maybe five or six hours.”<\/p>\n

I said, “Let\u2019s do it.”<\/p>\n

So I did it, nine of them, and I only missed two days of work. The pain that you that lets you know you need a root canal, I wasn\u2019t gonna do that, however many root canals I was gonna have. So I did nine of them as a preventive thing after having my first one. There\u2019s my brother going in for one today. He said it will probably be less painful than listening to your show. He was teasing.<\/p>\n

So I thought when I got all these flashes that what Hannity was gonna be doing was playing my — let\u2019s admit it, folks, it was right on point — suggestion that firing anybody would be a big mistake \u2019cause it wouldn\u2019t stop anything. You fire Mueller, they replace him. You fire Rosenstein, they replace him. Fire anybody. It doesn\u2019t matter who you fire, you\u2019re not stopping the investigation. If you want to stop the investigation, pardon everybody right now, pardon everybody tonight, pardon \u2019em tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Pardon Cohen, pardon Flynn, pardon Manafort, pardon Page, pardon yourself. Shut it down. And I explained how George H. W. Bush did this in December 1992 to shut — do you know that Lawrence Walsh, special counsel investigation into Caspar Weinberger, you know how long that went on? That went on six years, folks. Six years. Everything thinks Mueller ought to wrap this up. Six years. And George H. — now, admittedly he was leaving office. He had lost the election a month prior. But he pardoned everybody. And there was nothing anybody could do.<\/p>\n

I think Trump pardoning these people would be much less of a problem. It would be a problem, but it would be much less of a problem than firing these people. Presidential pardons, there\u2019s absolutely no question about the constitutionality of it. There are precedents galore.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s gonna fire Trump? Who\u2019s gonna impeach Trump after he does that? The Democrats still have to win the House to bring that off, but firing a bunch of people while not eliminating the investigation, there\u2019s no point in that. So that\u2019s the bit that I thought Hannity was gonna play. But he didn\u2019t. He played this thing for Dershowitz about the media and everybody trying to goad Trump into firing Mueller so that they can then get Trump. Here\u2019s what Dershowitz replied.<\/p>\n
