<\/p>\nRUSH: Well, folks, it gets increasingly comical here. I just spent three minutes watching CNN. I subjected my mental health — for the sake of you and this program — to three minutes of CNN. Let me give you the upshot here of what CNN is having a major, major moment of crisis about. Apparently, Michael Cohen, Trump\u2019s rat — you know, “the fixer,” lawyer — was supposed to testify somewhere, somehow, and he has postponed his testimony claiming that there have been threats from Trump.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And CNN is running with this as though it\u2019s now descended into a mob case, and it revolves around Rudy, Rudy Giuliani and recent TV appearances. Cohen is now saying, “I\u2019m not testifying! I\u2019m not testifying! Did you hear what Giuliani said? Giuliani threatened me. Giuliani is threatening me, and that means Trump is. They\u2019re threatening my father-in-law, who\u2019s Ukrainian! They\u2019re threatening me! I\u2019m not testifying!” Now, Cohen is going to jail in March, and Cohen is doing everything he can to get his sentence reduced.<\/p>\n
So he\u2019s saying anything that he thinks prosecutors at the Southern District of New York and even the special counsel — the estimable, irreplaceable, Robert S. Mueller III — might hear and decide that this guy is being so helpful and he\u2019s going so far out of the way to help us nail Trump that maybe we can reduce his sentence. He\u2019s got one month, \u2019cause basically… Well, six weeks. Five weeks. Five weeks before he gets sentenced. So he\u2019s pulling out all the stops now.<\/p>\n
Now, I didn\u2019t have enough time to gather what specifically Rudy has said on TV recently that constituted the “threat” message to Cohen from Trump, only that it resolves around Cohen\u2019s father-in-law and organized crime. So now CNN\u2019s asking expert guest after expert, “Does this constitute witness tampering? Is the president of the United States tampering with witnesses?” The guests say (impression), “Well, no. It\u2019s not witness tampering. I mean, uh, in the old mob days they would say, ‘Gee, I hope you\u2019re able to see the sunshine again,\u2019 or, ‘Gee, you know, can you swim with a cement swimsuit? You may have to learn how someday.\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
“But those kinds of things were part of the parlance and they were not regarded as witness tampering.” (laughing) So the upshot… (laughing) There\u2019s nothing! Mueller doesn\u2019t have anything, it\u2019s clear. The Democrats and these committees are not gonna get anything, and so they just keep throwing things up against the wall. So now Rudy, who… He has been saying some strange things on TV. “So what if Trump talked to Cohen? Trump can talk to Cohen whatever he wants!”<\/p>\n
Apparently, something Rudy said constitutes Cohen being scared to death, that whatever Rudy said is the equivalent Trump threatening Cohen. Cohen is saying, “Look, I\u2019m not testifying anymore! I\u2019m not testifying. (sputtering) I — I — I — I — I…” So I think this is just the continuation of Cohen turning rat and doing what he can now for himself, and he can read the tea leaves. He knows what all these people think about Trump, and so he\u2019s trying to feed them anything that will ingratiate him to them for the purposes of having his sentence decreased.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
