RUSH: Andrew McCabe authorized the FBI to investigate whether investigations misled Congress. This guy…<\/p>\n

Apparently, McCabe was out of control. I think Andrew McCabe is a very bad man. I mean, just speaking as a straight-up-and-down observation, he is a very bad man. Not only was this guy plotting a bureaucrat coup after Comey was fired — and that coup was to protect Comey\u2019s conspirators. He was trying to overthrow the presidential election. Even before Comey was fired, McCabe was in on all of this along with Strzok Smirk being dispatched to Europe to talk to people.<\/p>\n

\"\"It turns out that he also authorized a criminal probe of the Attorney General Jeff Sessions! McCabe was out of control, and he has yet to receive the Jussie Smollett treatment. If I\u2019m Jussie Smollett, I gotta be saying: What did I do wrong? This guy McCabe\u2019s out there profiting from the hoax that he perpetrated and is still getting away with and is still leading it! He\u2019s out there, he wrote a book, and he\u2019s being interviewed by the same media that\u2019s castigating me!<\/p>\n

“Fired FBI Official Authorized Criminal Probe of Sessions<\/a> — Nearly a year before [Sessions] fired [McCabe] for what Sessions called a ‘lack of candor,\u2019 McCabe oversaw a federal criminal investigation into whether Sessions [was dishonest] when testifying before Congress about contacts with Russian operatives…” Do you know what Sessions\u2019 “contact with Russian operatives” was? And this was why his recusal so ticked off Trump.<\/p>\n

He was at a reception that he didn\u2019t even remember, and the Soviet ambassador, Sergey Kislyak — who was anywhere there was food — apparently, all this guy did was go to buffets. He went to lunch, he went to buffets, he went to receptions. He happened to be at a reception once and Sessions was there, and he spoke to him. (Sessions impression) “Mr. Ambassador, how are you, sir? It\u2019s a pleasure to talk to you today, Ambassador.” (Kislyak impression) “Nice to meet you, Comrade,” blah, blah, blah.<\/p>\n

They shoot the garbage over what\u2019s going on. Then Al Franken hears this and brings the question up during Sessions\u2019 confirmation hearings, and Sessions (impression), “Well, I did talk to a Russian; I have to admit that. I gotta recuse myself from the investigation.” So McCabe hears this, and he wants to tear into Sessions for lying about this! This entire FBI under Andrew McCabe was totally out of control, and this guy is profiting from all of this, continuing to lie out there on this book tour.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You know, where is the institution standing up and calling him out like the police superintendent<\/a> in Chicago today called out Jussie Smollett? This is exactly what I mean when I say, “Our institutions are failing us.” The FBI itself did not even act as a backstop against McCabe, other than to fire him. But that hasn\u2019t stopped him. He\u2019s continuing to run away, lying his head off, talking about Trump still being a “Russian asset.”<\/p>\n

James Clapper on CNN says (summarized), “Well, I think we\u2019d better say ‘unwitting asset,\u2019 but, uh, I think it\u2019s entirely possible that, uh, yes, President Trump is a Russian asset — uh, a dupe, if you will, of Putin.” These guys are lying their heads off, they\u2019re lying their teeth off, and there\u2019s nobody to stop them. And the Drive-By Media is soaking it all up, just like they soaked up everything Smollett said until they could no longer report the lie.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, Senator Dick Durbin from Illinois has weighed in. He\u2019s not happy with McCabe\u2019s explanation for lying. Yesterday morning Durbin appeared on PMSNBC reacting to McCabe\u2019s explanation for lying to investigators about leaking information to the press.<\/p>\n

McCabe has said numerous times in this cockamamie book tour of his that: \u201cWhen I served as deputy director, I was one of two people in the FBI who had the authority by FBI policy to interact with the media and decide what information as an organization we shared with the media. I don\u2019t consider any of the authorized dissemination of information I was involved in over my course of deputy director to be leaks. They are not leaks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Well, Dick Durbin said that McCabe\u2019s explanation doesn\u2019t satisfy him. \u201cI\u2019ll have to say I\u2019m still struggling with the fact that after two decades in working in the FBI, really taking a close look at the questions and answers and making life and death decisions, that his explanation doesn\u2019t really satisfy me as to why he faltered in this moment when he was being asked about his own conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n

Translation: “I don\u2019t believe this guy! And I don\u2019t know why, when it comes to explaining his own behavior, he can\u2019t just own up and admit anything.” Well, that\u2019s not hard to figure out. The coup is still underway. And as long as the coup is still underway, the people in the coup conducting it cannot admit to have done anything wrong. They have to basically signal that everything they\u2019ve done is justified because of the importance of getting rid of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Kathryn in Minneapolis, are you still there?<\/p>\n

CALLER: (silence) Did you ask for me?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Are you Kathryn in Minneapolis?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes! That is me! Hello, Rush!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hello. How are you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m so glad I got through!<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m glad you did too. How are you doing?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m fine. Say, I have a question for you on the director of the FBI, Christopher Wray.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, ma\u2019am?<\/p>\n

CALLER: What\u2019s gonna happen with him? He\u2019s got a new boss. Are they gonna start leaning on him? You know, when he was up before Congress, he was so, “Oh, nothing to see here” and not cooperative. Are they gonna lean on him to kind of do what he needs to do to clean up the FBI? What\u2019s gonna happen?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have no idea.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh-ho-ho. (chuckling) You have no idea?<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: No, I don\u2019t! I have no idea. Let me ask you this. Has anything been done to clean up the FBI? We fired a bunch of these people. We fired McCabe. We fired Strzok Smirk. We fired Comey. But the coup goes on!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: McCabe is continuing the coup with his book and his book tour. I mean, other than these people being fired, which I think… You know, Mueller fired Strzok and Page six months after he learned what they were doing. He didn\u2019t fire them immediately. He waited as long as he could, and then he did not fire them together. He staggered their firing. He didn\u2019t want to get rid of them, but the inspector general leaked what was happening with their text messages back and forth.<\/p>\n

Look, it all comes down to what the new attorney general\u2019s gonna do, and nobody knows this yet. The new attorney general, Bill Barr, was just recently confirmed. We got this news from CNN yesterday that the Mueller investigation is over and it\u2019s gonna be wrapped up next week. (sigh) Why did that happen? I mean, did Bill Barr…? You can look at that one of two ways. Barr is a swamp rat who is going to do nothing to stop Mueller, or he went in there and told Mueller, “End this thing. Wrap it up. This has gone on way too long. You\u2019ve got nothing whatsoever, so wrap it.”<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know. We have no way of knowing what\u2019s gonna happen, outside of people being fired. That\u2019s one thing, but none of them have been investigated. None of them, it looks like, are gonna be prosecuted. You remember the police superintendent talking about all of the wasted resources that Smollett caused — and, by the way, don\u2019t misunderstand. I do find it suspicious that the police superintendent never once talked about the targets of Smollett\u2019s hoax.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t “Chicago.”<\/p>\n

Smollett wasn\u2019t targeting “Chicago.”<\/p>\n

He was targeting Trump. He didn\u2019t drag Chicago “through the mud.” He tried to drag Trump through the mud, and I\u2019m fully aware the police superintendent never once went there, and he should have. But he talks about all these resources. Well, how about all of the resources in the FBI that have been used on a nothing hoax: Trump-Russia collusion? Where is the adult in that room to stand up and say, “Enough of this!” And I don\u2019t… We know it\u2019s not Wray, and we don\u2019t know if it\u2019s gonna be Bill Barr or not.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know if it\u2019s gonna be anybody.<\/p>\n

Time will tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
