He says, “The only way I see the end of Trump is if there\u2019s overwhelming evidence he rigged the 2016 election. In which case impeachment isn\u2019t an adequate remedy. His presidency should be annulled.”<\/p>\n
I looked in the Constitution for how to do that, and it isn\u2019t there. Maybe they would bring the pope over for this. (interruption) No, the pope would drop whatever he\u2019s doing to come over. If the pope could participate in annulling the Trump presidency, the pope would be here. Don\u2019t doubt me. A second 800-pound gorilla in the room would show up. They might even invent supersonic transport to get him here if the pope could annul the presidency.<\/p>\n
Anyway the former labor secretary says, “Let me explain. Many people are convinced we\u2019re already witnessing the beginning of the end of Trump. In their view, bombshell admissions from Trump insiders with immunity from prosecution, combined with whatever evidence special counsel Robert Mueller might uncover about Trump\u2019s obstruction of justice and his aides\u2019 collusion with the Russians, will all tip the scales.<\/p>\n
“Democrats would take back the House and begin impeachment, and the evidence of impeachable offenses would put enough pressure on Republican senators to send Trump packing. I don\u2019t believe this for a moment. First, the Senate has never in history convicted a president of impeachment. Second, even if Democrats flip the House in November, Republicans will almost certainly remain in control of the Senate\u2014and so far they\u2019ve displayed the integrity of lizards.” They will not convict Trump.<\/p>\n
“Third, Fox News and the rest of the right-wing sleaze media will continue to distort and cover up whatever the evidence shows\u2014convincing 35 to 40 percent of Americans, along with most Republicans, that Trump is the innocent victim of a plot to remove him. Finally, Trump himself will never voluntarily resign, as did Nixon. He\u2019ll lie and claim a conspiracy to unseat him.”<\/p>\n
That\u2019s just the warmup for this piece, folks. He-he. Just the warmup. Hang on, and I\u2019ll continue when we get back.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Continuing now with the opinion piece from labor secretary Robert B. Reichhhhhhh<\/a>. “Suppose, just suppose, Robert Mueller finds overwhelming and indisputable evidence that Trump conspired with Russian President Vladimir Putin to rig the 2016 election, and the rigging determined the election\u2019s outcome.<\/p>\n “In other words, Trump\u2019s presidency is not authorized under the United States Constitution. Suppose these findings are so compelling that even Trump loyalists desert him, the Republican Party decides it has had enough, and Fox News calls for his impeachment.”<\/p>\n “The only response to an unconstitutional presidency is to annul it. Annulment would repeal all of an unconstitutional president\u2019s appointments and executive actions, and would eliminate the official record of the presidency. Annulment would recognize that all such appointments, actions and records were made without constitutional authority.<\/p>\n “The Constitution does not specifically provide for annulment of an unconstitutional presidency. But read as a whole, the Constitution leads to the logical conclusion that annulment is the appropriate remedy for one. After all, the Supreme Court declares legislation that doesn\u2019t comport with the Constitution null and void, as if it had never been passed.”<\/p>\n This guy is a professor at Berkeley! He\u2019s losing his mind! They all are! It\u2019s hilarious!<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: So to conclude this piece by the former labor secretary for Bill Clinton: “After all, the Supreme Court declares legislation that doesn\u2019t comport with the Constitution null and void, as if it had never been passed. It would logically follow that the Court could declare all legislation and executive actions of a presidency unauthorized by the Constitution to be null and void, as if Trump had never been elected.<\/p>\n “As I\u2019ve said, my betting is Trump remains president at least through 2020\u2014absent compelling and indisputable evidence he rigged the 2016 election. But if such evidence comes forth, impeachment isn\u2019t an adequate remedy because Trump\u2019s presidency would be constitutionally illegitimate. It should be annulled.”<\/p>\n Now, we\u2019re told that many people say, many smart people on the left, many bright, well educated, increasingly intelligent people, this whole business that Trump cheated and stole the election and that he did so with Putin, we\u2019ve had at least two years of solid investigation of this. There isn\u2019t a shred of evidence for it and there isn\u2019t going to be, but yet look at all of these people that literally are waiting with bated breath and holding out hope that that\u2019s exactly what Robert Mueller has found. He just hasn\u2019t leaked it yet. He\u2019s waiting for just the right time to blow Trump out of the water.<\/p>\n They really believe — I\u2019ve warned everybody, they believe this stuff. They really have talked themselves into believing that this happened. So shocked were they at having lost the presidency, the election in 2016, they can\u2019t fathom this. Even though Barack Obama, their Dear Leader, explained to them countless different times and ways that it would be impossible to rig a presidential election in the way it\u2019s being — in any way. It\u2019s too spread out. Voting machines are not connected to the internet. Because of the Electoral College, you wouldn\u2019t know where you had to start monkeying around with things.<\/p>\n It would be virtually impossible for anybody to rig the presidential election, and a modicum of common sense would tell you this. But the daily drumbeat of news media reporting combined with the incredulity they have over having lost the election, they have bought this. They\u2019re totally, totally devoted to it, to the premise. I don\u2019t think they\u2019re any longer even hoping. They know, they know it happened. They\u2019re just waiting for somebody to find it, the evidence, the media as well.<\/p>\n Now, to you and me, this genuinely is insane. It\u2019s incomprehensible. And they are committed to it. They are totally, completely devoted to this premise, this narrative, this fact. And yet there is no evidence that Trump rigged anything. If anybody did — I\u2019m really sorry for sounding like a broken record on this. But if anybody did, it all happened on the Hillary side. The real things to learn about this are just how deep the deep state is, just how coordinated they are, just how aligned they are.<\/p>\n And, you know, this whole premise that Trump is illegitimate, cheated, stole the election, colluded, we still don\u2019t know when that began. I mean, the plan they have to try to convince people of this, we don\u2019t know when this began. Congressional committees cannot get the evidence from the FBI. When did this investigation really begin, this investigation of Trump?<\/p>\n That\u2019s not the question. The question is not when did the investigation begin. The question is when did this master plan to try to convince and persuade people that Trump had cheated and colluded, when did that begin and who is responsible for it? And then the big question, why? Everybody thought Hillary was gonna win. Why even do this?<\/p>\n But this plot, this idea, create the idea, the notion that Trump colluded, stole the election, this had to begin way, way back further than the election. It had to begin in the heat of the campaign. So many questions arise. When in the campaign? Why did people in the deep state even think this would be necessary? Who was involved in it and just exactly where and how did it originate?<\/p>\n Everybody thinks that what\u2019s going on here is an allegation that Trump stole the election, cheated, and that there is an investigation to find out what Trump did and when he did it and how he did it. But that\u2019s not really the question. The question is, when did people in the deep state come up with this scheme?<\/p>\n When did they decide to infiltrate spies in the Trump campaign, and why? And it\u2019s not Strzok and Lisa Page. They are bit players here. They are names that we know that have been put forward. We don\u2019t know who really hatched this plan, and we don\u2019t know why. Other than insurance.<\/p>\n But I think it goes deeper than that. What I\u2019m trying to say is I think this conspiracy is far more deeply entangled and filled with webs of deceit than we have possibly contemplated up \u2019til now. This didn\u2019t just start the day after Hillary lost the election. And it didn\u2019t just start in the summer of 2016. This has an origin that goes way back beyond when any of us — and here\u2019s another question that I might throw out.<\/p>\n Is Trump the only Republican against whom such a plan was prepared? In other words, if Trump had not gotten the nomination, if, say, Marco Rubio had gotten it or Ted Cruz, would there have been a similar plan as this implemented to discredit any Republican nominee and thus any Republican who might have won? Or was this plan prepared exclusively to deal with Trump?<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-062818-Rush-Liberals-Reject.jpg\")
Do you believe — what are these people fantasizing about? This is unreal! And I still haven\u2019t gotten to the piece de resistance. “Impeachment would remedy Trump\u2019s ‘high crimes and misdemeanors.\u2019 But impeachment would not remedy Trump\u2019s unconstitutional presidency because it would leave in place his vice president, White House staff and Cabinet, as well as all the executive orders he issued and all the legislation he signed, and the official record of his presidency.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/APP-050918-Obama-Posters-TRUMP.jpg\")

<\/a>In other words, was this a deep state plan against the entirety of the Republican Party or a plan tailored to and prepared for exclusively Donald Trump? Well, whatever the answers to these questions, I will guarantee you, whatever you think you know now, whatever we think we know, I think there\u2019s still lots of room for us to be shocked and stunned at what is really going on here.<\/p>\n
