And then Steele broke an agreement with \u2019em.<\/p>\nRUSH: I\u2019m gonna tell you another thing here. Comey is trying to act like this dossier doesn\u2019t matter. That was his whole attitude. “Well, the details don\u2019t matter. It\u2019s not that big a deal.” Comey\u2019s trying to act like this Christopher Steele guy was somebody not well known. James Comey\u2019s FBI offered to pay Christopher Steele another $50,000 to continue his work in getting the FISA warrant! The FISA judge was told that the FBI trusted totally the credibility of Steele, that they loved this guy, that they believed what he produced, that he was extremely valuable.<\/p>\n
And then Steele broke an agreement with \u2019em.<\/p>\n
Steele promised the FBI he would not discuss any of his work for them with the media, but he blew it, and Steele started talking to the media about the work he was doing for the FBI. So the FBI\/Comey rescinded that $50,000 offer to Steele to keep working, and they cut him loose. And all of this was in the Washington Post. So you\u2019re telling me it never occurred to anybody at the FBI to ask Steele who\u2019d been paying him, even though they were gonna use this info to get a FISA warrant? They knew who paid him! They knew it was the Clinton campaign.<\/p>\n
They knew all of this. Comey\u2019s effort is to make it look like, “It doesn\u2019t matter now; we\u2019re so far past this.” Let me tell you why it matters. This entire year and a half investigation — this entire special counsel of a year — is bogus, folks, and it\u2019s destroying this country. It\u2019s ripping this country apart, and half of the people believe the lies. Forty percent of the people in this country are believing every line of every lie being told by these people. It\u2019s creating partisan divides like we haven\u2019t had since the Civil War.<\/p>\n

It is doing great, great damage to the very fabric of this country because so many people believe a bunch of stuff that has not happened, that didn\u2019t happen. The Russians did not determine the outcome of our election, but you can\u2019t convince 35, 40% of the country of that. They are convinced. They believe it. We are blowing up our system of law. The rule of law is under direct assault, it\u2019s disintegrating — and all because of a phony, fake dossier that everybody involved knew was phony and fake.<\/p>\n
The special counsel should never have been named. Michael Flynn should still have his house. His life should not be in tatters. He shouldn\u2019t have to sacrifice everything he\u2019s learned in order to keep his family together and stay out of jail. All of this and more is entirely unnecessary, and is only happening because a bunch of egghead, arrogant establishment types don\u2019t like the fact that Donald Trump won the election.<\/p>\n

How did he know that? It turns out James Clapper — who was Obama\u2019s Director of National Intelligence. James Clapper is the source of the dossier being leaked to CNN. Clapper did this, according to the committee report, after ordering Comey to brief Trump on it. The House Intelligence Committee report says that James Clapper, who tries to pass himself off as nonpartisan and uninterested. He just wants to take care of the United States against its bad guys by sifting through all the intelligence.<\/p>\n
