I get up outta here to go, you know, grab a cookie and do what I do at the top-of-the-hour break. Check the stock price of various things, whatever. I come back in and there\u2019s Christopher Wray, the FBI director. He\u2019s on TV, and they\u2019re being interviewed by Congress, some congressional hearing.\u00a0 You know what he\u2019s telling \u2019em?\u00a0 That even as we speak today, that even as we are sitting here today, the Russians and the ChiComs are planning to meddle in the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-298014\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/App-012919-FBI-Wray.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/App-012919-FBI-Wray.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/App-012919-FBI-Wray-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These people are so committed to this hoax that they have perpetrated that they now have to say that not only did it go on with Trump and Russia in 2016, but it worked so well, apparently, that the Russians and now the ChiComs are engaged. As though it\u2019s a fait accompli they\u2019re gonna meddle.\u00a0 There wasn\u2019t any significant meddling!\u00a0 Of course, the Russians have always attempted to manipulate American society.\u00a0 They\u2019ve done it well by infiltrating universities!\u00a0 How many college professors at Berkeley, for example, with essentially quasi-communists and for how long?<\/p>\n<p>The communist influence, the subversion has been replete throughout our culture and society.\u00a0 It\u2019s just the difference is we were always wary of it. We always pointed it out. We always tried to stop it, defeat it. But that\u2019s hardly the case now, as students are exposed to this stuff and they\u2019re graduated thinking along those lines.\u00a0 The point is, it isn\u2019t new.\u00a0 The Russians &#8212; the communists, wherever they are, the Cubans. They were all&#8230; Everybody\u2019s been attempting to subvert America from the get-go.\u00a0 But we\u2019re acting like and we\u2019re being told, &#8220;This is all relatively new stuff because of Donald Trump!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the unspoken thing here.<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t have to be spoken.<\/p>\n<p>They, for two years, have literally polluted the minds of the American people that the Russians affected the election in 2016, and that Trump colluded, and they are hell-bent on continuing that lie despite the fact there isn\u2019t any evidence for it.\u00a0 Now they continue that lie to further assist Mueller to sanction his investigation not ending, to keep it going.\u00a0 Now we have the FBI director and various intelligence agency experts telling congressional committees that the Russians and the Chinese are already attempting to meddle and interfere in the 2020 elections.<\/p>\n<p>Well, why don\u2019t we just keep the Mueller investigation open in perpetuity, then, huh?<\/p>\n<p>If this is the case, if the Russians and the ChiComs are every day trying to impact America\u2019s elections, don\u2019t we need a permanent special counsel to be able to investigate any of these allegations the moment that they are made?\u00a0 Wouldn\u2019t the deep state love that, to have, essentially, an extraconstitutional official acting like God who sits there and has an open-ended investigation &#8212; about which he never tells anybody anything &#8212; the purpose of which is to ferret out all of the meddling and all of the collusion?<\/p>\n<p>And now we\u2019re told that it\u2019s gonna happen again in 2020 before it\u2019s happened.<\/p>\n<p>For what purpose are we being told this?<\/p>\n<p>What are we gonna do about it?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-298023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-012919-CIA-FBI-DOJ.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-012919-CIA-FBI-DOJ.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-012919-CIA-FBI-DOJ-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>I mean, you know, I think the effort here is to undermine confidence in all of these elections going forward.\u00a0 You can\u2019t tell me that that\u2019s not gonna be a possible result of all this!\u00a0 The more the deep state talks about the illegitimacy of American elections, the more lack of trust there\u2019s gonna be in them!\u00a0 And the mind-boggling thing to me is there isn\u2019t any evidence of it, beyond what we know happened every day regarding Russian or Soviet or communist infiltration and attempts at subversion. But it\u2019s not just elections. It\u2019s everywhere!<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t tell me that there aren\u2019t plenty of rabid communists in the American media, in American journalism!\u00a0 You can\u2019t tell me that they haven\u2019t found positions of influence throughout every strata of our culture and society.\u00a0 That\u2019s what they do!\u00a0 But we\u2019re being told that the election meddling, &#8220;This is something brand-new &#8212; and it started with Donald Trump, obviously, and look at all the people we\u2019ve indicted and look at all the&#8230;&#8221;\u00a0 Yeah, but not a single one of them for anything to do with having anything to do with the Russians or affecting the election because there wasn\u2019t any impact on the election.<\/p>\n<p>The thing that boggles my mind is that there was no Russian impact on the outcome of the 2016 election.\u00a0 So why are they continuing to tell us that the Russians are gonna continue to meddle?\u00a0 Because 42% of the American people already believe the Russians did tamper with votes and did have an impact on the election results &#8212; 42%.\u00a0 It may be a bigger number now. \u00a0That was the number in December.\u00a0 So now they keep piling on with this, as those they\u2019re ineffective. They\u2019re up there testifying, &#8220;Yes, and the Russians and the Chinese are going to continue their meddling in our elections.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What are you doing to stop them?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, we\u2019re trying to put Donald Trump in jail.\u00a0 We\u2019re trying to get him out of office.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, no, what are you doing about it? He didn\u2019t do it! Whaddya doing to stop the collusion?\u00a0 That\u2019s the one thing that we never hear.\u00a0 &#8220;Well, we\u2019re doing cyber checks, and we\u2019re making sure that we get rid of Julian Assange and (muttering).&#8221; What are you doing to stop the Russians?\u00a0 We never hear about what the meddling is and what these people are doing to stop it.\u00a0 This idea that meddling in elections is something new and that it only started with Trump and now it\u2019s become a common, everyday feature leads to the distrust of the outcome of these elections.<\/p>\n<p>If I didn\u2019t know better, the deep state\u2019s not confident the Democrats are gonna win in 2020 and they\u2019re already trying to tamper with the jury pool!\u00a0 I don\u2019t know, folks.\u00a0 It just frosts the hell out of me.\u00a0 Rather than tell us about this&#8230; If it were real, just be out there doing what you can to stop it. Keep it secret, like all of these so-called counterintelligence investigations traditionally have been.\u00a0 No, they\u2019re going public with all of this stuff. Except they never, ever display or show any evidence of whatever it is they are alleging that is happening.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, you know, they\u2019re doing cyber tricks, Mr. Limbaugh.\u00a0 They\u2019re hacking and they\u2019re planting bots and they\u2019re trolling Facebook and Twitter.&#8221;\u00a0 Well, hell\u2019s bells.\u00a0 So is half the American population doing that!\u00a0 The Democrat Party is probably responsible for more hacking and more trolling and more BS on Twitter and Facebook than the Russians could hope to achieve!\u00a0 But there isn\u2019t any investigation of that.\u00a0 No, when we start investigating the Democrats, we exonerate \u2019em &#8212; and then we interview them, and we let \u2019em go scot-free.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-297592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-012419-Liberalism.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-012419-Liberalism.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-012419-Liberalism-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>And we claim we can\u2019t prosecute \u2019em because we can\u2019t find any intent to break the law.\u00a0 Meanwhile, we start putting Republicans in jail that have nothing to do with anything and we\u2019re trying to get rid of a sitting president, and it just is ongoing and never ends.\u00a0 So now they\u2019re setting up a circumstance where maybe we just shouldn\u2019t close the Mueller investigation.\u00a0 If we know, for example, that the Russians are gonna meddle in 2020, why not just keep the Mueller investigation open and everything would be fine?<\/p>\n<p>We dump it on him, and if he can find any political collusion between Americans and the Russians or the ChiComs, then we put \u2019em in jail and Mueller never goes away! And when Mueller retires, we let Andrew Weissmann take over. And when Weissmann finishes, we go get Strzok, Page and these people. We bring McCabe back and let them run the thing.\u00a0 We are being scammed.\u00a0 We are being scammed.\u00a0 I\u2019m not suggesting that the Russians and the ChiComs are not bad actors.<\/p>\n<p>But this idea that we\u2019re so powerless and we\u2019re defenseless and we can\u2019t stop it and they\u2019re so bad and it\u2019s colluding? It just offends every sensibility I have about this, because this investigation into what happened in 2016 is so damn corrupt, so dishonest, so half assed. It\u2019s so transparently obvious what it is.\u00a0 It is a silent coup, and now they\u2019re basically setting up the circumstances for these silent coup-type operations to never end because the Russians and the Chinese are trying already to meddle in our elections!<\/p>\n<p>What good are these people in these positions of power at the intelligence agencies and the FBI if they can\u2019t identify who\u2019s doing it and stop them?\u00a0 What good does it do us to go up there and testify to Congress, &#8220;Yeah, the Russians are gonna meddle in 2020.\u00a0 We got pretty good intel on this.\u00a0 Yeah, and the ChiComs are gonna be meddling in 2020 elections, too,&#8221; and we\u2019re supposed to say (clapping), &#8220;Great work, guys!
