He was sent to jail on some really flimsy campaign finance charge, and he\u2019s now been pardoned. It\u2019s being reported now that the president is also considering pardoning both Rod Blagojevich (the disgraced former governor of Illinois) and Martha Stewart. Now, Blagojevich and Martha Stewart. What do those two people have in common with the pardon of Scooter Libby? What did they have in common? Blagojevich, Martha Stewart and Scooter Libby were prosecuted by Comey.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-275228 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/APP-Dinesh.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/APP-Dinesh.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/APP-Dinesh-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, there was a special prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, but Comey is who named him. (laughing) So Trump is pardoning people that Comey has had a hand in convicting. Martha Stewart was convicted of lying to the FBI. Not for any other crime in the conduct of her business, but for lying to the FBI. D\u2019Souza&#8230; Folks, D\u2019Souza&#8230; There\u2019s nobody that\u2019s been put in jail for what D\u2019Souza did. They have been fined, but nobody has had to serve jail time. Ah, ah, wait! I\u2019m sorry.<\/p>\n<p>I was forgetting that poor slob Nakoula Nakoula. Remember him? Nakoula Nakoula is the Egyptian American who made that 14-minute video that nobody ever saw that Hillary and Obama claimed was responsible for all of the terrorist activity at Benghazi. (Snort!) What a sad moment in American history. You know, it\u2019s embarrassing to look back at some of the stuff that happened during the Obama years and stuff we were told.<\/p>\n<p>Like this poor guy does a video nobody ever saw, and Obama and Hillary and the whole Obama administration are out there at the U.N. telling everybody that this poor guy and did this video and it caused everybody in the Middle East to go bat you-know-what, bat excrement. And they started killing people at Benghazi, and the video had nothing to do with it. Nobody had ever seen the video! It was a planned terrorist attack. It wasn\u2019t spontaneous because of a video going around.<\/p>\n<p>It was embarrassing.<\/p>\n<p>It was such a lie.<\/p>\n<p>It was such a flimsy excuse.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-275284\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-31-at-4.04.54-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-31-at-4.04.54-PM.png 418w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-31-at-4.04.54-PM-300x156.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>But this guy was arrested and sent to jail so that Obama could, you know, flex his muscles and show what a tough guy he was.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So this is great. CNN has a theory about why Trump is pardoning these people, or thinking about it. You know what the theory is? He\u2019s sending a message to Mueller witnesses, &#8220;Don\u2019t worry about it. I will pardon you.&#8221; (laughing) That would be Flynn; that would be Manafort; that would be Rick Gates and anybody else that Mueller decides to go after. That means they are scared up there. They know Trump can undermine this if he wants to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: It&#039;s being reported now that the president is also considering pardoning both Rod Blagojevich and Martha Stewart&#8230; What do those two people have in common?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":275244,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Trump Pardons D\u2019Souza, Considers More - The Rush Limbaugh Show<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2018\/05\/31\/trump-pardons-dsouza-considers-more\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Trump Pardons D\u2019Souza, Considers More - The Rush Limbaugh Show\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"RUSH: It&#039;s being reported now that the president is also considering pardoning both Rod Blagojevich and Martha Stewart...
