RUSH: Christopher Wray, the FBI director, was out at the Aspen Institute for ideas, as opposed to the Aspen Institute for skiing. And they were talking about ideas at the Aspen Institute. And you know what Christopher Wray said? Are you ready for this? He said, “Look, the Russians do not tamper in our infrastructure, in election infrastructure.”<\/p>\n

I said, “Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what?” Say that again. Happily. “The Russians do not tamper in our election infrastructure.”<\/p>\n

So what does that mean? For those of you in Rio Linda what it means, point-blank, is the Russians don\u2019t deal with tampering with the votes. Election infrastructure is the polling place, the voting machines, the people that count the votes and do all that. That\u2019s the voting infrastructure. And here\u2019s the director of the FBI, the descendant of James Comey. James Comey, Clapper, Brennan, all these people that have been trying to tell us the Russians screwed with the votes. That\u2019s what they\u2019ve been trying to say. That\u2019s what they\u2019ve been referring to. They want you to imply, they have come out and said so directly, but stealing the election, that\u2019s what that means.<\/p>\n

But then we had the Rosenstein-announced Mueller indictment last Friday in which he made it clear that not a single vote was changed and not a single election<\/a> outcome was affected by any of this. So Christopher Wray, the FBI director, owns up and says, “No, no, no. They do not tamper in our infrastructure. They try to destabilize the integrity of our system by usually backing losers and getting the losers all upset claiming something went awry, and that promotes disharmony and distrust of the election system.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Why couldn\u2019t somebody say this two years ago instead of going through all of this crap — pardon me — that we\u2019ve been through? Why couldn\u2019t this have just been said two years ago, “The Russians do not tamper with our infrastructure. What they generally do is try to promote discord and distrust within our system. And the way they do it is by stoking the losers with the idea they\u2019ve been cheated!”<\/p>\n

Well, is that not exactly what\u2019s happened, except the losers in this case, they\u2019re the ones that did the tampering, they\u2019re the ones that tried to affect the outcome of the election with the phony dossier. The Democrats weren\u2019t fooled by anything the Russians did. If anything, the Democrats and the Russians were working together in terms of having the same objective, and that\u2019s undermining Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

But, I mean, that\u2019s a heck of an admission. And as I say it was the Aspen Institute for ideas. And it has made the news, but it\u2019s not big news on any of the cable networks. It\u2019s not big news anywhere unless you happen to know where to go to digest news every day as I do as a highly trained broadcast specialist. I have my routine down here, found it easily. Do you realize what a big admission that is? Really what a profound — the current director of the FBI.<\/p>\n

So what is this charade, then? Why are we continuing to look for Russian tampering in the election when the director of the FBI says, “No, no, no. They never do that. They try to sow discord within American public opinion.” Have they not succeeded? By the way, they and the Democrats working together have created the most distrust for the American electoral system I\u2019ve seen in my lifetime.<\/p>\n

And the Democrats are just as guilty as the Russians. And the media. The media is right in there because they want everybody to believe that the election infrastructure was tampered with and Hillary should have really won it and did really win it except Trump cheated because he likes Putin or what have you.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, the New York Times today had what I am sure they intended to be the bombshell story of the day. Headline: “From the Start, Trump Has Muddied a Clear Message: Putin Interfered<\/a>.” It\u2019s written by David Sanger and Matthew Rosenberg.<\/p>\n

And here is the lead. “Two weeks before his inauguration, Donald J. Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had personally ordered complex cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election.”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s supposed to be the bombshell report for today, that Trump knew, that Trump was told two weeks before he was inaugurated that Putin personally ordered all of the cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election.<\/p>\n

Where is that Wray sound bite? I\u2019m tired of repeating this. This is Wray at the Aspen Institute for skiing. I\u2019m sick and tired of hearing myself say this. Here it is in his own words.<\/p>\n
