RUSH: As I\u2019ve gone through the IG report, there are a couple noteworthy things. But you know what I really think, folks? I think that the text messages between Strzok and Lisa Page and now Agent 1 and Agent 5…<\/p>\n

If you really want to know what was going on, read those texts. They\u2019re unfiltered. They\u2019re unedited. They do not have attached explanations or analysis. They\u2019re just raw, they\u2019re just there, and they give the greatest indication of who these people were in the FBI and what they were doing. And one of them, ladies and gentlemen, that has not gotten a lot of attention that I want to call to your attention now, is a text from Peter Strzok to Lisa Page in which Strzok said to her in a text about the Russia investigation…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You know, to set this up, I should mention that Strzok left the Hillary email investigation to go to the Russia investigation, and then Mueller hired him, and then it was about a month later he was fired or reassigned by Mueller because the texts were discovered. In a text to Lisa Page about the Russia probe, Peter Strzok said, quote, “My gut sense and concern tells me there is no big ‘there\u2019 there.” Here is the guy leading the investigation, hiring the informants. This guy Strzok is… Everybody thinks Comey is the focal point of this, and he\u2019s big.<\/p>\n

But I think Strzok is the guy, folks. This guy was harboring so much personal hatred for Trump, so much animus. This guy was harboring so much anger. This guy was worse than McCabe. This guy, Peter Strzok, along with Comey and some of these others, is personally responsible for degrading the reputation, the integrity of the FBI. This guy, I can\u2019t describe for you how he seems to be the centerpiece. He\u2019s the centerpiece of trying to influence the exoneration of Hillary. He interviewed Flynn.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He\u2019s everywhere in this, steering it away from Hillary and toward Trump based on a personal animus. The idea that there is no bias in this is poppycock. And when the inspector general says there\u2019s no bias, he\u2019s playing word games, because he counts bias, he tablets it, he adds it up all during the report. What he means, I\u2019m pretty confident — and it\u2019s as silly as this. What he means when he says there\u2019s no bias in this, it means he can\u2019t find a document where they sat down and wrote, “Because we are Democrats, we want Hillary to win. So therefore we\u2019re gonna destroy Trump.”<\/p>\n

So since such a document doesn\u2019t exist, the IG says, “Ah, bias not responsible.” Bias was all over this! But the guy leading the Russia investigation, the guy trying to set up Papadopoulos, the guy running the informants — Peter Strzok — the guy having an affair says in a text to his paramour, “My gut sense and concern when it comes to the Russia investigation is there\u2019s no big ‘there\u2019 there.” He knew there was no collusion! And look what they manufactured and are still manufacturing. I\u2019m telling you: This is why if Mueller was indeed this man of integrity and honor, he would shut this down.<\/p>\n

Because it\u2019s based on absolute nothing but a bunch of bogus, unprofessional, shameful behavior by a bunch of FBI agents. Now, one other thing before we go to the break. I don\u2019t want to make this about me, but I do a lot of See, I Told You So\u2019s because I think repetition matters and reminders are important. And in explaining the success of Donald Trump, explaining the election, I\u2019ve gone to great pains on countless occasions to try to explain to you in this audience the attitudes about you that are held by people inside the Beltway in Washington, inside the Washington establishment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From the media to elements of the Republican Party, the Democrat Party, K Street, lobbyists, you name it, the deep state, federal employees, the intelligence community. And what have I basically said? They have contempt for you. You\u2019re too stupid and dumb to live your life responsibly. Others might have to do it for you, make decisions for you. The very fact that you voted for Donald Trump shows how idiotic and stupid you are. You remember my riffs on this. And, by the way, it\u2019s exactly right. That is exactly how the political class, the ruling class looks at the men and women who make this country work.<\/p>\n

That is how you\u2019re seen. And it\u2019s now been documented in one of these text exchanges. Agent 1 and Agent 5. This is not Strzok and Lisa Page. This is another pair of agents having an affair. Agent 5 is a lawyer inside the FBI. And in a text thread with Agent 1, this agent, Agent 5, this FBI lawyer and attorney — employee, actually — says, “All the people who were initially voting for her would not, and were not, swayed by any decision the FBI put out. Trump\u2019s supporters are all poor to middle class, uneducated, lazy POS…”<\/p>\n

Those of you in Rio Linda know what a POS is.<\/p>\n

They are “uneducated, lazy POS that think he will magically grant them jobs for doing nothing. They probably didn\u2019t watch the debates, aren\u2019t fully educated on his policies, and are stupidly wrapped up in his unmerited enthusiasm.” Bingo. That\u2019s the attitude of all of these people inside the FBI toward you in the people who voted for Donald Trump, and that\u2019s why they had to overturn this election, because it means the country is being run by a bunch of “uneducated … POS” who are lazy and poor and “middle class.”<\/p>\n

In other words (summarized), “We can\u2019t turn this country over to the people who live in it. We can\u2019t wait that risk. We, the superior members of our little club here — we — are gonna continue to run this country. They didn\u2019t know what they were doing when they elected Trump. We did everything we could to get Hillary elected. We did everything we could to destroy Trump, and these stupid POS still voted for him,” and they\u2019re chatting back and forth about how dangerous this is and how unprecedented it is and how they failed and how frustrated they are and how angry they are.<\/p>\n

Because they can\u2019t abide, they can\u2019t think of, they can\u2019t contemplate this country actually being run by the people who actually make it work, and that would be you and your neighbors — you lazy, poor-to-middle class, uneducated POS. And, by the way, what is this: “who think that Trump will magically grant them jobs for doing nothing”? Does that not telegraph a great misunderstanding of how people who want jobs look at them? You want a job for doing nothing? That\u2019s a government employee, if you ask me! Want a job for doing nothing? That\u2019s a welfare recipient, if you ask me! Not somebody actually seeking employment because they lost their job because of policies enacted by these inside-the-Beltway POS.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: As I say, the texts, the text messages hold the gold in this report. Let me share one exchange with you between the new agents that we just learned about. “FBI Attorney 2: ‘I am numb.\u2019 FBI Employee: ‘I can\u2019t stop crying.\u2019 FBI Attorney 2: ‘That makes me even more sad.\u2019 FBI Employee: ‘Like, what happened?\u2019 FBI Employee: ‘You promised me this wouldn\u2019t happen. YOU PROMISED.'” All caps. “FBI Employee: ‘Okay, that might have been a lie…\u2019 FBI Employee: ‘I\u2019m very upset.\u2019 FBI Employee: ‘haha.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“FBI Attorney 2: ‘I am so stressed about what I could have done differently.\u2019 FBI Employee: ‘Don\u2019t stress. None of that mattered.\u2019 FBI Employee: ‘The FBI\u2019s influence.\u2019 FBI Attorney 2: ‘I don\u2019t know. We broke the momentum.\u2019 FBI Employee: ‘That is not so,'” and here is the gold: “FBI Attorney 2: ‘I don\u2019t know. We broke the momentum.\u2019 FBI Employee: ‘That is not so. All the people who were initially voting for her would not, and were not, swayed by any decision the FBI put out.'” We didn\u2019t change anything regarding Hillary.<\/p>\n

“‘Trump\u2019s supporters are all poor to middle class,'” they weren\u2019t effected by what we did, they\u2019re too stupid, they\u2019re “‘uneducated, lazy POS that think he will magically grant them jobs for doing nothing. They probably didn\u2019t watch the debates, aren\u2019t fully educated on his policies, and are stupidly wrapped up in his unmerited enthusiasm'” for America and for life and for living! What a bunch of idiots you people were to be caught up in all that rather than a bunch of end-of-the-world, apocalyptic pessimism.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Minneapolis. This is Ron. You\u2019re next, sir. Welcome. It\u2019s great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. A quick question.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes?<\/p>\n

CALLER: You know, because we found that so many senior people in government have a bias strongly against Trump, why should we believe that the IG is unbiased? I mean, who is he? Who did he vote for? Who are his best friends? What groups is he part of?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Excellent questions. These are questions that I consider to be born of intelligence guided by experience. Yeah. We\u2019re told, “The IG? Hey, he\u2019s a straight up guy!” We\u2019re told that they all are, by the way.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: “They all are. These guys are straight. They are there to hold these agencies accountable. They are there to speak truth to power. They are there to keep these agencies on track.” You know, whatever language is used to describe them. But you raise good question. How in the world you can say (laughing) that there was no bias in any of this is beyond me.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely. (laughing) Even we out here who aren\u2019t close at all, over the period of time, have found out — and understand through the actions and through the words — that there is a bias, and earlier caller talking about circumstantial evidence, it\u2019s all there. How can it be that dumb?<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Yeah, but never forget. You are a lazy, uneducated POS who cannot —<\/p>\n

CALLER: (chuckling)<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, do you know what POS is the abbreviation for?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, I do yes. (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, \u2019cause I imagine there some people that may not.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: You never know. I wanted to explain it. Here\u2019s my answer, Ron. I said this yesterday when people asked my expectations. I really didn\u2019t think that this was gonna amount to much, because what is it? It\u2019s the swamp investigating the swamp. You just said: This guy, Horowitz, is an employee of the Justice Department. I mean, we\u2019re told of their independence, but it\u2019s not like this guy is an outside investigator brought in, say, from Minneapolis to look at this. It\u2019s the swamp investigating the swamp, and we know powerful people unite when people outside the group are trying to disrupt or take over.<\/p>\n

The idea that these people gonna take themselves out is…<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t believe that.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I was driving home yesterday. We just turned… I had satellite radio, so I\u2019ve got Fox News on. I\u2019m just digesting the inspector general report. We have just learned, we just learned of the text between Strzok and Lisa Page where she says (summarized exchange), “Tell me he\u2019s not gonna win, right? Please, he not gonna win.” And Strzok says, “No. We\u2019ll stop it.” And of course that was withheld from Congress by Strzok. It wasn\u2019t redacted.<\/p>\n

He just erased it from that whole text exchange between Strzok and Page. He just didn\u2019t submit it. It wasn\u2019t redacted where you could say, “Ooh. Something\u2019s there.” It just was not there. But the IG published it, and this is big. (laughing) This is bias. He\u2019s telling Lisa Page, “Don\u2019t worry about, we\u2019ll stop Trump from winning.” So I\u2019m listening to Sheppard Smith. He\u2019s interviewing Catherine Herridge about this. And rather paraphrase it or characterize it myself, I want to play for you Shep Smith\u2019s question to Catherine Herridge about this.<\/p>\n

SMITH: Do we know if Strzok and Page at the time believed that there was evidence that might indicate that the man who\u2019s running for president is compromised by a foreign actor?<\/p>\n

HERRIDGE: Right.<\/p>\n

SMITH: In other words, did they know this Russia thing was percolating? Did they know things about this, and they\u2019re saying to each other, “My God, look at all this evidence! This guy can\u2019t be president. We\u2019re gonna stop it, right?”<\/p>\n

HERRIDGE: Right, okay. Right.<\/p>\n

SMITH: Or was it something that really indicated action?<\/p>\n
