The latest intel leak is designed to block a House subpoena<\/a>. Late Tuesday the Washington Post published a story with the headline ‘Secret intelligence source who aided Mueller probe is at center of latest clash between Nunes and Justice Department.\u2019<\/p>\n“The story [in the Post] reports that House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes recently sent a classified letter and subpoena to the Justice Department demanding information about a ‘top secret intelligence source.'” Now, the editorial at the Journal says, “The story\u2019s bias is that Mr. Nunes — you know, a nasty House Republican,” a really rascally Republican, “is threatening to compromise national security,” by trying to find out who this informant is. “Yet the article itself discloses details that suggest the Post already knows who this ‘top secret\u2019 source is.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/FB-Mueller.jpg\")
“For example, the source is a ‘U.S. citizen,\u2019 has been an informant for both ‘the CIA and FBI,\u2019 and has provided information that was given to” Mueller. So the Journal editorial claims the Post already knows who this source is — and if they do, why can\u2019t Nunes? Well, Nunes learning somehow would violate national security. “The story also says intelligence officials fear that outing the source could ‘damage relationships with other countries.'” Well, only if the source is a foreign citizen, but we know now the source isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
The source is a U.S. citizen, so outing the source would not damage relationships with other countries unless this source has also been involved in screwing other countries. But it suggests that the source has worked overseas. If they\u2019re gonna claim that a U.S. citizen cannot be outed here because it might damage relationships other countries, it means he has worked overseas. Suggests it, anyway.<\/p>\n
“And the story says the ‘role of the intelligence source\u2019 could further provoke Republicans who have accused Justice and the FBI of engaging in ‘misuse of their surveillance power,'” and, here we go, “hinting that the government may have used the source to snoop on the Trump campaign.” There it is. So it\u2019s a pretty safe bet that the FBI planted an informant in the Trump campaign. Nunes wants to know who it is; the DOJ says, “No way, Jose!”<\/p>\n
The Washington Post probably does know who it is. They will not inform. Trump could end this today by declassifying all of this. But he doesn\u2019t. Why doesn\u2019t he? We\u2019ve explored that on previous occasions, and I\u2019ll go through it again if you want. But the point is this, these people — Mueller, the FBI, The DOJ, Strzok, Page, Comey, McCabe — it is absolutely incredible but it may well be that they believed this!<\/p>\n
Even after learning that the Steele dossier is phony baloney as anything else they could have written, they really believed it. So they had an informant in the Trump campaign who was there to catch and to discover and to witness Trump\u2019s collusion with the Russians. If they had an informant in that campaign who was supposed to find the collusion and they still don\u2019t have it? I mean, look at what we\u2019re learning. They had an informant in the campaign, and they still don\u2019t have any evidence!<\/p>\n
Then what the hell is this investigation doing even being alive at this point?<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, let me add one more wrinkle to this. Glenn Simpson, who is the founder of Fusion GPS and is the good friend of Christopher Steele — and is who actually hired him — the author of that salacious, unverified, uncorroborated Trump dossier. “Glenn Simpson testified” in August of 2017 “that the FBI had a source in the Trump campaign.” Now, Simpson said this to contradict claims that the FBI began their investigation based on the Steele dossier. Simpson knew the dossier was bogus. Simpson knew the dossier was opposition research.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-020218-Trump-Dossier.jpg\")
He is the guy who literally made the dossier happen. He owns, operates, runs Fusion GPS. He did not want his dossier to be Exhibit A for the FBI getting a warrant to spy on Trump and the campaign or anything \u2019cause it was bogus. So in August of 2017, Simpson said the FBI actually began their investigation because they had a source in the Trump campaign. Simpson claimed it was “a voluntary source,” meaning it wasn\u2019t a plant, meaning somebody on the Trump team decided to become an informant against Trump.”<\/p>\n
Now, this is a “convenient,” quote-unquote, admission, because Simpson was trying to take all the attention he could off of his phony dossier. So he testified (sputtering), “No, no, no, no! There was a source in the Trump campaign, a voluntary source, and that\u2019s what led all this off, not — not — not — not — not — not — not my dossier!” But what is being alleged by the Wall Street Journal editorial today and what looks to be pretty legitimate is not that the source in the Trump campaign was voluntary but that it was an FBI plant, and it was there without regard to the Steele dossier.<\/p>\n
It was there because people in the FBI… Name the names: Comey, McCabe. There was another guy, Bill Priest something or other. I\u2019m having a mental block on his last name, but he\u2019s one of the bosses of all these people and could end up being very crucial in any further investigation. Depends on what he knows. But these people must have obviously thought… I mean, they must have really believed this crap, that Trump was colluding with Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n
They must really believe this. So based on this little sentence here in the Journal editorial, “Hinting that the government may have used the source to snoop on the Trump campaign,” Glenn Simpson says it\u2019s voluntary. No. There was a turncoat in there. There was somebody in the Trump campaign who turned on Trump. That\u2019s not what this is. This is the FBI more than likely planting an informant inside the campaign. Just remember, if they had somebody that nobody knew was there looking for this collusion and still didn\u2019t find it, then what the hell is going on with this investigation?<\/p>\n
It should be over long ago.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s John in Hagerstown, Maryland, we head back to the phones. I\u2019m glad you waited. How you doing, sir?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, I\u2019m fine, Rush. Thank you for taking my call. It\u2019s a real honor, and thank you for all you\u2019ve done for our country. I\u2019m just calling back in regards to that Wall Street Journal editorial that you were talking about at the opening of the show. And actually, the piece in the Wall Street Journal seems like confirmation of an article I read by Thomas Paine (sic) that was put out about a month and a half or two ago, and in that he reports that Carter Page was an FBI plant. I say that… It matches up in that Carter Page has worked overseas, Carter Page has been on the FBI payroll, and who was the FISA warrant pulled on from the get-go in the Trump campaign? It was pulled to spy on supposedly Carter Page.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Correct. Okay. Well, let me put that in the hopper and digest it. And once again let me explain: This is the danger of talking about things and getting to phones sometime later. You people may not have heard the original discussion and are wondering what the call\u2019s about, so let me tell you. I\u2019ve been piecing together bits of information from various news stories today — Washington Post story earlier this week, and a Wall Street Journal editorial today combined with a Kimberley Strassel column from last Friday.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-011818-EIB-Caller-FEMALE.jpg\")
I believe now that the FBI planted an informant in the Trump campaign. The Wall Street Journal editorial today pretty much admits that they had an informant who was a U.S. citizen. Now, the argument that\u2019s been made, like with Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS, is, “Oh, yeah, there was an informant, but it was a voluntary informant.” Meaning it was somebody on the Trump campaign staff who decided to start tattling. And I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what happened.<\/p>\n
Fusion GPS of Glenn Simpson said that to try to take pressure off the fact that his botched dossier was the primary reason for a FISA warrant. I think he was trying to take pressure off of that and say the FBI had much more to suspect Trump with than just that. For example, he said there was a volunteer informant talking to the FBI. Well, I don\u2019t think the informant\u2019s voluntary. I think the FBI found somebody and put them in the Trump campaign, got him hired, but he was an informant.<\/p>\n
He was a spy. And his purpose, the purpose was to find evidence that Trump was colluding with Russia. This happened during the campaign. Now, John here thinks because of a website that he\u2019s read where there\u2019s some poster named Thomas Paine, that it\u2019s Carter Page who is the informant that was hired by the FBI, because the original FISA warrant — the one that was granted to spy on anybody — was to spy on Carter Page, and Carter Page didn\u2019t do anything!<\/p>\n
And ever since the FISA warrant on Carter Page, we\u2019ve not heard a word about him. His name has never been mentioned in any aspect of this investigation, and yet he\u2019s the guy that they got the original FISA warrant for! So if they got a FISA warrant to spy on Carter Page and therefore everybody and anybody else he\u2019s talking to, then why haven\u2019t we had a single leak about what Carter Page was doing? Well, John\u2019s theory is that he is the FBI informant.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know who it is. But clearly, if you read the Wall Street Journal editorial today, they think they know, and they think the reader can figure it out. I originally thought that the informant was a foreign intelligence officer because of various things. And the reason I thought that also was we will never reveal the name of a foreign informant because we don\u2019t want to upset relations with foreign intelligence agencies.<\/p>\n
So we would protect a foreign agent who is an informer for the FBI. But the Journal editorial clearly says, based on reporting in the Washington Post that this person is a U.S. citizen. In fact, I\u2019ve put this at the bottom of the Stack. Let me find it very quickly here and read to you the relevant passage from the Wall Street Journal editorial. “…hinting that the government may have used the source to snoop on the Trump campaign. …<\/p>\n
“[T]he source is a ‘U.S. citizen,\u2019 has been an informant for both ‘the CIA and FBI,\u2019 and has provided information that was given to Special Counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s probe.” Note: “Robert Mueller\u2019s probe,” not Robert Mueller. You gotta really pay attention to how words are used in these stories as well. Now, frankly, I would have never considered that Carter Page was the informant. He wasn\u2019t there long enough, he wasn\u2019t involved, and he wasn\u2019t…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-018.jpg\")
I mean, his period of time with the campaign lasted no more than a month or two. I don\u2019t know why the FBI would need to get a FISA warrant to tape Carter Page\u2019s phone. He could have just let them listen in on his own if he were the informant. The only reason they… If he were the informant and they got a FISA warrant to spy on him to cover up the fact that he\u2019s an informant, but, frankly, his is not a name that occurred to me in this.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t have a name, folks. And it\u2019s clear the Journal thinks that you could figure it out by reading what they\u2019ve written, and they think they know who it is, but they\u2019re not talking. Nunes wants to know. That\u2019s the whole point here. The point is not so much who. Devin Nunes, the House Intelligence Committee, has subpoenaed records from the FBI to basically confirm that they did this, that they put a spy in the Trump campaign.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what he says. He says he\u2019s not per se interested in the individual per se but rather did they really do this? Everybody, now, that\u2019s been studying this is convinced that the FBI did have an informant and that they planted the informant. In other words, found somebody, got them hired to do work in the Trump campaign, and they were then to spy. And if they found evidence of collusion with Russia, they were to then inform the FBI.<\/p>\n
Now, the way to look at this, another way is, let\u2019s just accept the hypothetical. Let\u2019s say they had an informant. They had an informant. They had a spy. Wall Street Journal thinks so. Washington Post thinks so. They had a spy. So they had somebody in there actually spying, looking for collusion, and they still don\u2019t have any! What does this tell you? But what does it say that they even had the audacity to plant an informant in the presidential campaign of one candidate, not Hillary, but Trump?<\/p>\n
Well, at the very least, it tells you they really believe this nonsense that the Russians and Trump were buddies and were colluding to steal the election. And that just boggles my mind. Common sense says nobody could pull that off. But they must have obviously thought Trump was trying. This is gonna be one of the most embarrassing periods in the FBI\u2019s history, when all of this is finally revealed and the history of it written.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re quite welcome, sir. Same to you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Real quick on that latest bite about CNN: I think a lot of those Millennials are sitting home in their parents\u2019 basement. Trump\u2019s given them all jobs, so that\u2019s probably why CNN\u2019s ratings have gone down.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You may have a point. You could be right.<\/p>\n
CALLER: But to my point, I was actually calling today, I wanted to talk about the deep state. And that term the deep state, I don\u2019t know why that\u2019s around. But, you know, Soros, Obama, Clinton, these names are out there. So the deep state when it was hiding was a good term. These people out here, they\u2019re known. My point to that deep state goes to exactly what you were talking about earlier today about Trump maybe having a plant and Nunes trying to get to the bottom of this. And, you know, Nunes and Grassley have been going very, very hard after Rosenstein and the FBI and these Strzok-Page text messages. There\u2019s still five months, I believe, of text messaging from end of 2016, beginning of 2017. And, you know, also a bunch of emails and personal data on cell phones and Gmail accounts.

“The Justice Department has refused to provide the documents,” what Nunes wants. “Intelligence officials say the material could jeopardize the source, a U.S. citizen who has aided the special counsel investigation into Russia\u2019s interference in the 2016 campaign.” Now, the fact that this is a U.S. citizen matters, because if the source here were foreign, then we would never reveal who it is or we would lose cooperation with foreign intelligence services.<\/p>\n
