Have you heard about the two big lies Lanny Davis told? He went on cable news and told everybody that Cohen had proof that Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting and encouraged it, and he said he had evidence\/information that Trump had prior knowledge that Russia hacked the DNC emails.<\/p>\n<p>Lanny Davis said that Trump knew about the emails, the Podesta emails that WikiLeaks published before they were published, and both have been demonstrated to be false. And they both were made possible and facilitated by CNN. There\u2019s a reporter at CNN, Jim Sciutto. Not to be confused with Jim Acosta. This is Jim Sciutto, S-c-i-u-t-t-o, who I think came from the Obama administration, and he spread two knowingly false, fake news stories (as did Lanny Davis) about Cohen\u2019s knowledge of Trump and Trump\u2019s supposed to knowledge of all these things the Russians were doing before we knew about it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-283269 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/APP-082718-Lanny-Davis.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/APP-082718-Lanny-Davis.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/APP-082718-Lanny-Davis-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And they\u2019ve been demonstrated now to be false. They were lies. And despite this &#8212; despite the blizzard of media lies, despite the wild speculation designed to drive Donald Trump out of office &#8212; Trump\u2019s support remains solid. And why? Because a sizable number of Americans do not trust the media anymore. They do not trust polling data anymore. A sizable number of Americans love the United States, and they are benefiting profoundly from the revitalized economy.<\/p>\n<p>A sizable number of <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2018\/08\/24\/getting-rid-of-trump-is-all-that-matters-to-mueller\/\">Americans know that Robert Mueller is running a phony collusion<\/a>, Democrat opposition-research operation designed to cover up the crimes and corruption of the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton! A sizable number of Americans know all of these things. &#8220;NBC News \/ WSJ Poll: Trump Approval &#8216;Remarkably Stable\u2019 After a Stormy Week of Bad News.&#8221; The Drive-By Media just can\u2019t learn.<\/p>\n<p>I predicted last week that these scandals would not upset Trump\u2019s approval numbers on balance, just like I knew that the Access Hollywood video wouldn\u2019t. You know why I knew that? Because I know the Trump voter, and I know the Trump voter is fed up with a bunch of things being leaked into a campaign like late in October, the October Surprise.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re fed up with things like that affecting the outcome of elections, particularly when they don\u2019t care. When it comes to Donald Trump, they don\u2019t care about any of that, and they never have. Because Donald Trump in their minds is the only thing standing in the way of their lives being changed forever by virtue of the Washington establishment continuing to transform this country into something it was not founded to be.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump\u2019s the guy. They\u2019re not going to get rid of him, they\u2019re not gonna abandon him, and they\u2019re not gonna sit idled by while other people try to destroy him. NBC News. Listen to this. &#8220;President Trump\u2019s job approval remains &#8216;virtually unchanged\u2019 after a bruising week of headlines that saw his former campaign chairman convicted on eight counts of fraud and his former lawyer plead guilty to felony campaign finance charges, NBC News reports.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They can\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n<p>They just can\u2019t believe it!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-283258\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/APP-082718-Trump-OO.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/APP-082718-Trump-OO.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/APP-082718-Trump-OO-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Because I\u2019m here to tell you and remind you again, the real focal point of all of these attacks on Trump has been to drive down this number. This is the only way they\u2019re gonna able to force Trump out of office. They can\u2019t indict a sitting president. They\u2019re not gonna ever have two-thirds of the Senate vote to convict him if he\u2019s impeached. Oh! Speaking of which, the Democrats have a new policy. Their new policy is to not talk about impeachment. Once again, the Democrats want to hide from voters their real intentions. But something might have happened to screw it all up.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s this California Democrat. All the cable networks love this guy. Fox puts him on three times a week. CNN may as well give him a camera in his office. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2018\/aug\/26\/eric-swalwell-california-rep-democrats-shouldnt-le\/\">His name is Swalwell, Eric Swalwell<\/a>. He\u2019s a nice guy; don\u2019t misunderstand. But he is a raging leftist, and he has just admitted yesterday &#8212; I think it was on one of the Sunday shows, ABC &#8212; they don\u2019t have anywhere near enough evidence to impeach Trump. They don\u2019t have any! They haven\u2019t seen anything yet! Despite all that we\u2019ve seen in the news for a year and a half.<\/p>\n<p>Now, is he just executing a Democrat strategy of trying to talk everybody out of thinking they want to impeach or not?<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>But it manifests itself as very fascinating to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: They can&#039;t believe it.
