RUSH:\u00a0 Yesterday in New York City there was another James Comey book-signing event.\u00a0 Conservative journalist Laura Loomer<\/a> stood up — as many media people do whenever public figures show up — and started shouting questions at James Comey.<\/p>\n

\"\"LOOMER:\u00a0 How is it ethical to brief the president of the United States on an unverifiable and salacious dossier, and how is it ethical leadership to not tell him that his political opposition, Hillary Clinton, paid for that?\u00a0 You are not an ethical leader!<\/p>\n

MAN:\u00a0 Ma\u2019am, you\u2019re gonna have to leave.<\/p>\n

LOOMER:\u00a0 You\u2019re gonna get prosecuted, Comey!\u00a0 You\u2019re gonna get locked up!<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 “Comey, you\u2019re gonna get locked up.”\u00a0 That was, again, Laura Loomer, a “conservative journalist.”\u00a0 I don\u2019t know where she “conservative journalists,” where she works. But, I mean, you have to know that that question is right out of my heart.\u00a0 How in the world can you tell the president of the United States about this and lie to him and tell him that this is legitimate intelligence when you know that it\u2019s nothing more than Hillary Clinton opposition research?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Grab sound bite number 23 and play it again. This is Laura Loomer. She comes from the James O\u2019Keefe shop, Project Veritas. She\u2019s now acting independently. She showed up at Comey\u2019s book signing event at Barnes & Noble in New York last night.<\/p>\n

LOOMER:\u00a0 How is it ethical to brief the president of the United States on an unverifiable and salacious dossier, and how is it ethical leadership to not tell him that his political opposition, Hillary Clinton, paid for that?\u00a0 You are not an ethical leader!<\/p>\n

MAN:\u00a0 Ma\u2019am, you\u2019re gonna have to leave.<\/p>\n

LOOMER:\u00a0 You\u2019re gonna get prosecuted, Comey!\u00a0 You\u2019re gonna get locked up!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. Now, she\u2019s got a little bit of a tweet storm, modified tweet storm going on right now<\/a>. And she says people have told her all her life she\u2019s not good enough, never gonna amount to anything, and yet she woke up today to two links on Drudge from this event. And so she\u2019s telling anybody and everybody, be what you want to be, be the best you can be and do it. Don\u2019t listen to people who tell you you can\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s ever so true, folks. Do not seek out people who failed at anything and take their advice. They\u2019re just gonna try to get you to join them in the failure. Do not waste time, especially if it\u2019s something you know you want to do. Talk to the people who have succeeded in it. Talk to people who are successes in it and get advice or help from them, but don\u2019t waste your time with people who failed at it. They have nothing for you, unless they know why they failed and can give you some positive advice in that way.<\/p>\n

But this is one of the tweets in her storm. “Every single reporter who attended Comey\u2019s book launch at Barnes & Noble last night and is attacking me should have their journalist card revoked for bending over and not blinking an eye when Comey and his staff said they will prescreen the questions people can ask.” So at these book signings, which Comey\u2019s charging money to attend, they\u2019re prescreening all the questions, and people got mad at her for asking.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s also saying that people are accusing her of acting like a liberal. And her reaction, her answer to that was, “No, no, no, I\u2019m not acting like a liberal. Liberals don\u2019t ask tough questions.” So it remind me when the Drive-Bys in the White House press corps chased Neil Munro all the way to the Washington Monument when he dared ask Obama a question during a no-questions-permitted presser in the Rose Garden. No questions asked. Every question screened.<\/p>\n

By the way, in certain instances I can understand this. But I doubt my reason for doing it is Comey\u2019s reason. You know, when I did the Rush to Excellence Tour, sometimes we did audience questions, but after the first two times or three times, I said we\u2019re gonna have to start prescreening them. The reason, you don\u2019t know who\u2019s gonna start standing up and preaching and saying things that make no sense and asking questions that nobody wants the answers to, and time is kind of precious.<\/p>\n
