RUSH: Here\u2019s Steven in Westchester County in New York. Great to have you, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Maha Rushie. I thank God for you being there. That\u2019s all I can say.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you. I appreciate that, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (chuckles) In regard to this whole thing with the Mueller report ending and the new AG coming in, do you know — or can you find out — if the new AG can compel Mueller to put out a report? Because if he doesn\u2019t, there\u2019s just gonna be too much endless conjecture still going on just like there is now. They make up… The media can make up anything they want out of anything, and there will be nothing resolved and nothing cleared up.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I think in the truth of the matter… I mean, in the real world, there\u2019s gonna be a report. Mueller will submit something. The question is, “Will it be made public?” And that is a decision for the attorney general and perhaps Congress, although I think the attorney general has the purview over whether or not the report is made public. I get your concern. I think if there is no report or if a report isn\u2019t made public, then what is it? It becomes this mass of curiosity. Everybody wants to know what\u2019s in it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“I mean, we just spent two years ago looking into the fact that Trump colluded with the Russians and stole the election and there\u2019s no report? Well, let\u2019s have the media start leaking things!” They can start reporting what “connected sources” say. “People who have seen the report tell ABC News that” blah, blah, blah, blah. They can write whatever they want. They\u2019ve been making it up ever since this began. So it continues to be a leak opportunity. Here\u2019s how I look at this new attorney general, Mr. Barr. I hope I\u2019m not alone in this, and I hope that this is not a quaint view that is seen to be way outside the bounds of reality and filled with naivete.<\/p>\n

But the fact of the matter is the Department of Justice is in a huge mess, and Andrew McCabe is detailing it for us in this book<\/a>. He\u2019s basically laying out (and wanting to be paid for it) the various steps he and his other unelected colleagues took to get rid of Donald Trump, including confirming that having Rosenstein wear a wire was real, that they actually considered it! Rosenstein denies it, of course. If this guy, Barr — and I don\u2019t know him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But I can tell you, people I know who know him say that there\u2019s nobody better, nobody with more integrity, nobody that\u2019s better qualified to put the DOJ back on the right course. Well, if that\u2019s true, then there are gonna have to be some heads rolling. What\u2019s happened at the Department of Justice, the leadership of the FBI? This is unconscionable. This cannot be allowed to go unpunished. We\u2019ve had a two-tier justice system.<\/p>\n

We have had rogue FBI and DOJ officials attempt to actually subvert the outcome of a a duly constituted presidential election. Call it a silent coup, whatever. If this guy is who he says he is, he still has got a massive cleanup job ahead of him. You talk about reports? The Mueller report\u2019s not what I\u2019m interested in. I want somebody investigating what actually went on with McCabe and Comey and Strzok and Page and all these other players.<\/p>\n

I want to find out the extent of this, and I want it actually confirmed and reported on and people in this country made aware of it. If Barr doesn\u2019t do that — if he goes in and thinks the best course of action is to kind of sweep as much of it under the rug as possible and limit the damage control so that we put a stop to this stuff that\u2019s been going on but we don\u2019t publicize it and just move forward — that will be a big mistake.<\/p>\n

Because we\u2019re running out of people in Washington with any integrity. We were also told that about Mueller! When they hired Mueller to be the special counsel, what did they tell us? “There\u2019s nobody with more integrity. There is nobody with more honor. There is nobody with greater reliability. There\u2019s no greater patriot than Bob Mueller!” Well, we haven\u2019t seen any evidence of it because if he was really that respected, if he was that honorable, he wouldn\u2019t have done this in the first place! He would not have presided over this hoax!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He would not have furthered it! He wouldn\u2019t have participated in it! Somebody truly honorable, somebody actually with dignity — somebody with real character — would not have helped this thing along, would not have participated in a coup or in a hoax! But what if there isn\u2019t anybody left in that town in the establishment that actually has character and integrity as we define it? What if they think, “Oh, yeah. We\u2019ve got great character. We\u2019re about protecting our turf.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re not gonna let our turf get stolen. We\u2019re not gonna let outsiders come in and take over our turf. We\u2019re not gonna let interlopers come in here and set things everything upside down.” What if their definition of character and integrity is protecting themselves rather than the institutions? The institutions have been used to corrupt. The institutions have been corrupted by less-than-honest people with very questionable integrity — unelected all — who took it upon themselves to overturn the results of an election, however they could.<\/p>\n

Somebody\u2019s gotta clean this up. Somebody has to go in there, roll up his sleeves, figure out what happened, tell everybody what happened, and fix this. And, if they don\u2019t, then we\u2019ll learn that there is nobody in that town that actually has character and honor and integrity in a way that applies to anything but themselves, and anything but the organizations and institutions that they run and are in charge of. I think he\u2019s got a big test. McCabe\u2019s book, McCabe\u2019s appearances on 60 Minutes?<\/a> I mean, he proudly announced (paraphrased), “Yeah, I was serious.<\/p>\n

“Every day in Washington was worse than the day before with this guy Trump. It was a disaster what was happening to our country.” They think it was an absolute disaster Trump got elected, that every day he was in the Oval Office was ripping this country apart. They had to stop him. It didn\u2019t matter what the election was, didn\u2019t matter what the American voters thought. Nowhere in the American founding is there a provision for anything like this — and it has run with hardly any opposition to it. It incorporated the American media.<\/p>\n
