RUSH: Andrew McCabe. This is amazing. This guy is continuing this entire hoax, this entire lie. I watched him on 60 Minutes. He\u2019s all over the place. He\u2019s on CNN Tonight, The View, he\u2019s out saying, “I had to take action. I had to find out if there was any campaign involvement between President Trump and the Russians.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just amazing. These people are gonna go all in because they\u2019ve got the media all-in with them. But it just offends my sensibilities to no end that this guy who, I stand by it, needs to be in jail. These people need to be investigated and prosecuted and sent to jail, and not just McCabe, but many of these people. Instead, they\u2019re profiting from this as they continue the charade, the palace coup, if you will. And Mueller is continuing to do the same thing.<\/p>\n

As you know, two different lines of thinking about Mueller. Either he has got something big and he\u2019s waiting for the right time to drop it — this is the hope of the left — or he\u2019s got nothing and he doesn\u2019t have anything. If he\u2019s got anything on collusion, it\u2019s gonna be made up. But I don\u2019t think he\u2019s got anything. There never was any collusion! This is the whole thing. The collusion happened between Hillary and the Democrats and the Russians.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I need to beg your indulgence here talking about this because it necessitates and requires repetition. But the point of Mueller not issuing a report and not conveying anything, is so they can continue to leak! So they can continue to use the mouthpieces of the media to leak. What\u2019s in the report, what might be in the report, all of this. This Trump scandal has been nothing but a series of leaks.<\/p>\n

It is as fraudulent and phony as the climate change argument. That\u2019s based only on computer models. It\u2019s not based on any empirical data. It\u2019s not based on any evidence whatsoever. It\u2019s all based on computer model predictions. And you know with computer models, what you get is what you get. Depends on what you put in.<\/p>\n

Folks, there is so much in our daily lives brought to us by media that just isn\u2019t true. We are being lied to, we\u2019re being set up, we are being manipulated, we\u2019re being motivated by some of the stupidest, most ill-informed left-wing ideologues.<\/p>\n

It is incredible the damage that is being done to this country.<\/p>\n

\"\"BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me give you an analogy, folks.<\/p>\n

Robert Mueller and his investigation and McCabe and Comey and Rosenstein are all Jussie Smollett. It\u2019s the same hoax. It\u2019s the same thing. It isn\u2019t real. It\u2019s made up. The difference is Mueller and his gang haven\u2019t done anything… Well, we haven\u2019t had any defectors. We don\u2019t have any Nigerians. We don\u2019t have the equivalent of the Nigerians in this palace coup story to break away and describe what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re all circling the wagons and they\u2019re staying on point that there was Russian collusion, that there was at least a serious indication they had to track it down, and they had to track down obstruction of justice. These guys are lying through their teeth. They are continuing this charade. Remember, Hillary Clinton was supposed to win. They were gonna be exonerated. We would never have known any of this if Hillary Clinton had won. These people would be promoted. Their jobs would be secure.<\/p>\n

Life would have gone on. Nobody would have known anything. The last thing they expected was for Trump to win. Now it\u2019s time to cover their tracks. Now it\u2019s time to CYA. Now it is time to get a special counsel appointed to take everybody\u2019s attention away from what we were finding out happened with the dossier and the Hillary campaign. So here comes the Mueller investigation, and it gets a bunch of people for lying to the investigators.<\/p>\n

Nothing on Russian collusion.<\/p>\n

Nothing to do with obstruction.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got a hoax. We\u2019ve got a hate crime! Why can\u2019t this be termed a hate crime against Donald Trump? What else is this? There certainly is criminal behavior here if you ask me, and it\u2019s based on hatred of Donald Trump. And if we\u2019re gonna have hate crimes, then we\u2019re gonna have hate crimes consistently, and that\u2019s exactly what this is. And now they\u2019re out there writing books and profiting — or attempting to — on all of this. It\u2019s genuinely sickening and enraging.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The appearance with Wallace on Sunday<\/a>. There were a couple of things that I said that caused the Drive-Bys to freak out. By the way, the Drive-Bys also freaked out over Trump talking about me in his Friday afternoon press conference in the Rose Garden where he was telling these people, “The guy can do three hours and not take a phone call. You try it! Nobody else can do that. It\u2019s incredible.” The Drive-Bys are pretty upset that he mentioned my name in the first place, and we\u2019ve got montages about that, but it doesn\u2019t display their anger. It just has them all repeating what happened.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the bite that got some of them, you know, worked up into a tizzy. Chris Wallace said to me, “Why do you call what was going on inside the FBI a silent coup?”<\/p>\n

BEGIN ARCHIVE CLIP<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: [T]hese people are unelected. They took it upon themselves to overthrow the election results in 2016, ignoring the potential real collusion and conspiracy between Democrats and Russians to undermine the Trump candidacy and the Trump presidency. The Mueller investigation, I believe, is a cover-up of all of that. It\u2019s to distract everybody\u2019s attention. Again, the Washington game. We are losing sight of what happened here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

People unelected \u2014 simply because they don\u2019t like a guy\u2019s hairstyle or like where he came from \u2014 decide the American people\u2019s decision was invalid, and began a systematic process to get him thrown out of office. This is a silent coup. These guys, if you ask me, ought to be the ones in jail. They ought to be the ones under investigation. What they have done, working with agents from the Obama intelligence agencies, is simply unprecedented. This is a kind\u2026 This is one of the greatest political hoaxes that has ever been perpetrated on the people of this country, certainly in a couple of generations.<\/p>\n

END ARCHIVE CLIP<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think maybe ever. I was trying to think later if I can come up with any full-fledged political hoaxes, but the scope of this one is… I mean, it\u2019s almost beyond description. If you can sit down, if you can read or if you can listen to a chronological explanation of what\u2019s happened here without getting angry, then you don\u2019t care about anything. If you can… Actually, I don\u2019t care if you\u2019re a Never Trumper. I don\u2019t care if you are a leftist, socialist. I don\u2019t care if you hate Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

If you do not get angry when you are properly informed what happened here, then you — in truth — do not care. They can\u2019t even be honest with us about when this investigation began, and now McCabe is running around trying to withdraw the thing that he put in his book and that he said in one of his first interviews. He\u2019s now trying to withdraw it. “No, no, you misunderstood. This wearing a wire, 25th Amendment? I don\u2019t remember that. We didn\u2019t do that any of that.”<\/p>\n

(Snort!) They\u2019re trying to backtrack on so much of this stuff already. I think they live in a bubble, and in that bubble they feel like they are untouchable, that no matter what is learned of what they did, nothing is gonna happen to them because nobody can do anything to them, and nobody is gonna investigate them. And the media is on their side because the media was complicit in this hoax. The media… You could say they were used, but I don\u2019t even think they had to be used.<\/p>\n

I think they were willing participants in this. They cast aside every concept of journalism! Jim Rutenberg, our old buddy at the New York Times, had a big piece shortly after Trump\u2019s elected basically saying (paraphrased), “Since Trump is so bad, we have to throw away journalism principles now. We have to focus on getting rid of him. We have to focus on opposition and all that.” They just made it plain as day what they were doing here, and it was not journalism.<\/p>\n

They are joining the forces of people who thought Trump should not have been elected. And the effort, of course, was to make him so unpopular that he couldn\u2019t govern, couldn\u2019t accomplish an agenda, and would eventually be easily tossed out of office via impeachment or embarrassment or what have you. It\u2019s just a — in my mind — terribly serious thing. The problem with it is that most Americans have no idea about it, as evidenced by polling data.<\/p>\n

Forty-two percent of the American people, after two years of never-ending news stories about collusion\/Russian meddling, believe the Russians actually tampered with votes. Forty-two percent. Forty-two percent believe the Russians had an impact on various election outcomes, even though Rosenstein has acknowledged in indictment after indictment that that wasn\u2019t the case. That never gets covered, never gets reported.<\/p>\n

They went and asked Professor Dershowitz on American Newsroom yesterday, Bill Hemmer did: “Do you agree with Rush Limbaugh that these people should be in jail?”<\/p>\n
