RUSH: The Trump administration has rejected Vladimir Putin\u2019s request to question the former Russian ambassador for Obama. What was his name? McFaul or something? Now, just to show you, just to show you. Now, we made mention of this when this happened. I announced this, I suggested to you one of the reasons the Drive-Bys went ballistic is because it appeared to me that Putin and Trump coordinated a press conference little routine designed to mock and make fun of the media.<\/p>\n

Because Trump said (imitating Trump and Putin exchange), “Well, you know, that\u2019s an interesting idea, and I think Putin has something interesting to say about that. What is your point, Mr. President?” So Putin says, “I will make deal, I will make deal. I will let Mueller come to Russia to interrogate prisoners if I can interrogate people of my choosing in America.” Everybody went bonkers. Everybody went ballistic. Putin said that he wants to interrogate Americans!<\/p>\n
And people said, “Well, so what? Mueller wants to interrogate Russians,” except Mueller really doesn\u2019t. So for the past two days — this, to me, is comical — for the past two days the Trump administration has been leading the media to believe that it was considering actually sending Obama\u2019s ex-ambassador to Russia back over to Putin for interrogation.<\/p>\n
That ambassador — I think his name is McFaul — has been in the media, “This is outrageous. I cannot believe my country would not protect me against this kind of a direct assault from a leader of a foreign nation.” And I\u2019m laughing myself silly because I know there\u2019s no way Trump is gonna send anybody over there to Putin to be interrogated. That\u2019s how people die. Have you noticed the number of people dying in the U.K. being poisoned by Russian agents?<\/p>\n
Now, they\u2019ve got a Russia problem. Russia\u2019s actually poisoning people in the U.K. But I find amazing the Drive-Bys actually thought that the Trump administration was considering Putin\u2019s deal. Of course, Robert Mueller is never going to go to Moscow. Robert Mueller and his team of bandits are never gonna head over there to interrogate these 13 Russians that they\u2019ve indicted.<\/p>\n
And, by the same token, Donald Trump was never going to send former Obama administrations over to Putin to be interrogated, but he let \u2019em dangle for a couple of days. Anyway, the White House just announced that they\u2019ve rejected Putin\u2019s request. (laughing) They really thought Trump would do it. See, this, to me, is so illustrative. They really thought Trump would do this, because you know, Putin owns Trump. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You\u2019ve heard the latest, haven\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

“The only reason Trump isn\u2019t bankrupt is that Putin has bankrolled Trump for the last 10 or 15 years. That\u2019s why that\u2019s why everybody wants to see Trump\u2019s tax reports and tax returns because it\u2019ll be made clear that if it weren\u2019t for Putin and Russia and all their oligarchs that Trump would be dirt poor. He wouldn\u2019t have anything. He owes Putin and Russia for all of his wealth. He doesn\u2019t want anybody to find out, and that\u2019s why Putin owns Trump.” That\u2019s been going around, in case you haven\u2019t heard it.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s why people believe, “My gosh. Trump might actually send Obama\u2019s ex-ambassador back to be interrogated. Anyway, it was never going to happen, but the fact that many in the media thought it might, tells you everything you need to know about what they think of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
