RUSH: The Official Program Observer, Mr. Bo Snerdley, with a question.\u00a0 What\u2019s the question?\u00a0 (interruption) Mmm-hmm.\u00a0 The question from the Official Program Observer is if I were Mueller…? You mean Mueller, the…? (interruption) Yeah.\u00a0 If I were Mueller and I\u2019m looking at all this today, would I be aghast, would I be angry, would I be ticked off, would I be mad at Michelle what\u2019s her name for the White House Correspondents…? Would I be wanting to correct the record here?\u00a0 (interruption) Nope! Nope.\u00a0 If I\u2019m Mueller, I don\u2019t care what\u2019s in the public.<\/p>\n

If I\u2019m Mueller, the more confusion about what I\u2019m doing, the better.\u00a0 If I\u2019m Mueller, the more mystery, the more confusion and the more frustration about what I\u2019m doing, the better.\u00a0 If I\u2019m Mueller, I don\u2019t give a rat\u2019s rear end about public opinion.\u00a0 If I cared about public opinion, I wouldn\u2019t be doing any of this. If I\u2019m Mueller, I don\u2019t care about public opinion.\u00a0 Public opinion is why I\u2019m here.\u00a0 I think public opinion\u2019s full of it.\u00a0 They elected Trump!\u00a0 I\u2019m here in spite of public opinion.<\/p>\n

Why would I, Robert Mueller, care about public opinion?\u00a0 I am a lawyer.\u00a0 I\u2019m a special counsel.\u00a0 The people with their opinions have no idea what I\u2019m doing.\u00a0 They can\u2019t possibly understand what I do.\u00a0 Even if I told them, they\u2019re not smart enough to know what I\u2019m doing, so I don\u2019t care what they think.\u00a0 Mueller couldn\u2019t care less.\u00a0 It\u2019s gonna… You know what?\u00a0 Because of the question from the Official Program Observer, I need to go back. Grab audio sound bite No. 1.\u00a0 Let me remind you what this is all about.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is June 16th, 2017, me on this program<\/a>…<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE:\u00a0 Donald Trump must be destroyed simply because he\u2019s there. Donald Trump has to be taken out. He has to be destroyed and ruined politically and, if they can, financially. Make no mistake that that\u2019s an objective too. You can read between the lines of the latest leaks of the highly respected and immensely respected Robert Mueller, the independent counsel. He\u2019s going after Trump\u2019s money, going after Jared Kushner. They are not going to leave one stone unturned in their effort to demolish, to ruin, to destroy Donald Trump. They want to obliterate the star. They want to create a figure of great shame and embarrassment, and they want to take away from him all of his achievements, including his money.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 If they can.\u00a0 But that was not my only warning.\u00a0 I also — February 27th of this year — had this to say<\/a>…<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: The Mueller gang is not gonna quit until they find something that they can nail Trump with. I am reliably told that Mueller has not given up on the whole collusion angle. The conventional wisdom is that there isn\u2019t any evidence that Trump colluded with Russia. And so Mueller has moved on now to trying to prove obstruction of justice, that Trump has stood in the way of justice being done in the United States. But the intel that I have from deep state sources tells me that Mueller has not given up the collusion angle, that Mueller\u2019s not given up any angle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 So you want to ask me again if I\u2019m Mueller and I see all this stuff out there that is so wrong and so out of context, I might want to correct the record? You think? Has Mueller said anything since this began?\u00a0 I mean, he\u2019s gone up there. I guess he\u2019s answered a couple questions before some committees. But it was insignificant.\u00a0 Mueller hasn\u2019t said anything, his legal team hasn\u2019t said anything. His spokesman said a few things, and nobody can remember what they are.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t care.\u00a0 “Independent! Special! I\u2019m better than you; I\u2019m different than you.<\/p>\n

“I have integrity; you don\u2019t.\u00a0 I have a great reputation; you don\u2019t.” By the way, does anybody remember that Obama said he knew the Russians were colluding?\u00a0 Does anybody remember this?\u00a0 Trump did not collude.\u00a0 There isn\u2019t any evidence for it.\u00a0 And yet Mueller wants to question Trump.\u00a0 Obama told us all that he knew of Russian election corruption. He told Putin to “cut it out,” remember?\u00a0 He told Putin to “cut it out,” and that was supposed to scare Putin so badly that Putin would stop doing it.<\/p>\n

Obama had intelligence reports that the Russians were colluding.\u00a0 Obama went public and said it would not be possible for an outside actor or player to sway a presidential election.\u00a0 By the way, Obama was right about this.\u00a0 Our elections are way too complex.\u00a0 You wouldn\u2019t know what to tamper with.\u00a0 You couldn\u2019t tamper with all of it.\u00a0 Nobody could.\u00a0 Even… I mean, no one political party could tamper with every aspect of a federal presidential election.<\/p>\n

Russia, the ChiComs, they couldn\u2019t, and Obama was dead right on when he said there\u2019s too much that you don\u2019t know that you would have to try to fix, but you can\u2019t do it anyway.\u00a0 You\u2019d have to know which states are up for grabs Electoral College-wise. We have too many precincts, too many polling places, too many different ways from state to state that elections are conducted.\u00a0 It would be impossible.\u00a0 Obama said all of this, folks!<\/p>\n

Cookie, go get me the sound bites.\u00a0 We\u2019ve played them.\u00a0 They\u2019re in our archive.\u00a0 They range from 2015 all the way through 2016.\u00a0 Obama said he knew of collusion.\u00a0 Obama said it would be impossible. He was trying to assure everybody. After telling us that the Russians were tampering and trying to, he assured us it couldn\u2019t happen.\u00a0 Well, okay, then why is all of this happening, then?\u00a0 Obama had intelligence reports the Russians tampered.\u00a0 He stood down.\u00a0 We know that Obama\u2019s FBI many of you led or conspired with at least one FISA judge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We know that Obama\u2019s DOJ was thoroughly politicized.\u00a0 We know that they were working overtime to prevent Trump from winning — and then after he won, doing everything they could to smear him.\u00a0 We know that Comey as a leaker and a liar.\u00a0 We know that Trump is a victim of so much of this.\u00a0 And Mueller is now down to the looking for process crimes with these questions for Trump.\u00a0 The wrong people are being queried here.<\/p>\n

If you want to make real news, somebody leak that Mueller has questions for Hillary, that Mueller has questions for Christopher Steele, that Mueller has questions for Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS.\u00a0 Somebody leak that Mueller has questions for Obama!\u00a0 Somebody leak that Mueller has questions for Comey and McCabe, because these are the people who need to be answering questions, not Donald Trump.\u00a0 Again, folks, all of this is happening because of a fake dossier.<\/p>\n

Every bit of this! I don\u2019t care.\u00a0 Every question that\u2019s leaked in this news story today the New York Times that Mueller supposedly wants answers to, all of this… This is what frosts me to the point that I start losing my temper over this.\u00a0 All of this is based on something that is fraudulent and phony: The Steele dossier. Every bit of this which is disrupting our country, which is ruining people\u2019s lives… When I say “ruining,” it has the potential to do great damage.\u00a0 Look at what these people are doing to the public perceptions of our presidential elections.<\/p>\n

And they all know it\u2019s a lie! They all know it\u2019s bogus.\u00a0 They all know that Russia could not have determined the winner of the presidential election.\u00a0 They could not have.\u00a0 Obama himself said so, and yet what are we doing?\u00a0 We\u2019ve got this endless investigation on the premise that Trump did indeed cheat with the Russians, and that\u2019s never been established. It can\u2019t be established because it didn\u2019t happen, the place it\u2019s alleged, the Steele dossier is fiction.\u00a0 It\u2019s made up.\u00a0 It\u2019s mind-boggling what is happening here!<\/p>\n

And the introduction of these questions into the public domain today, they don\u2019t help.\u00a0 I don\u2019t care what your interpretation of them is, they do not help because ultimately what they do is sustain the idea that somebody cheated here, that this election was not legitimate and that somebody has the answers to it.\u00a0 And since it didn\u2019t happen, nobody has those answers.\u00a0 And yet we continue to pursue it?\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Take you back to audio sound bite No. 1.<\/p>\n

\"\"Donald Trump must be destroyed simply because he\u2019s there.\u00a0 Donald Trump has to be taken out, removed.\u00a0 He has to be ruined politically. All because he won. Not because he cheated, but because he won.\u00a0 Looked at another way, because Hillary lost.\u00a0 The irony is these people thought they were the ones that had wired the election.\u00a0 When you get right down to brass tacks, these are the people that thought they had Hillary guaranteed to win.\u00a0 They thought they had done everything necessary.<\/p>\n

In fact, they looked at Trump winning the nomination as the exclamation point on their landslide.\u00a0 Trump getting the nomination Republican side was the best news they had had.\u00a0 No way could Trump win.\u00a0 Trump was gonna get 20% of the vote.\u00a0 He was gonna take the Republican Party down the tubes with him.\u00a0 It was gonna be the end of any opposition! Hillary was gonna win.\u00a0 The fix was in as far as they\u2019re concerned. And everything they planned for, every step they took to ensure a Hillary Clinton outcome blew up in their faces.<\/p>\n

And this must not be permitted.\u00a0 This is not allowed!<\/p>\n

So everything that\u2019s happened since election night has been to reverse that, and virtually everything being investigated, somebody did it — or tried — and it\u2019s all on the Democrat side, starting with Obama, who told us he knew the Russians were colluding, who told us it was impossible to the Russians to actually determine the outcome of a presidential election.\u00a0 Quick time-out.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be back. Does that answer your question, Mr. Snerdley? (interruption) Good.\u00a0 Okay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
