He\u2019s making his way to Marine One, the helicopter to leave on his trip to San Antonio to open some oil and gas wells. As he always does, he spoke with the reporters. Oh, I just saw&#8230; Folks, pardon me, but I have to comment again. They\u2019re playing video of the Barr hearings today, and during the hearings, Senator Graham&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You know, Barr made the point (paraphrased), &#8220;Why&#8230;? If you think the Russians are spying on the Trump campaign, why would the FBI not tell the Trump campaign? I don\u2019t understand this. If you think a foreign entity is trying to interfere in the election and you know that they\u2019ve got spies and you think it, why wouldn\u2019t you tell the candidate?&#8221; So Lindsey Graham pointed out, &#8220;Well, that\u2019s a good point, Mr. Attorney General, because when it was discovered that there was a spy on the staff of Senator Feinstein as her driver for 20 years, they told her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, the camera then cut to Senator Feinstein as Graham was saying that, and the moment they cut to Feinstein with the camera, an aide was whispering into Feinstein\u2019s ear. She may not have been paying any attention. The aide was probably telling her, &#8220;Yeah, they\u2019re talking about the fact of your Chinese spy, your driver. They\u2019re bringing that up now.&#8221; She\u2019s nodding her head. And then he keeps talking to her, and I said, &#8216;What is there is to say here?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-305596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/DIFIAIDSPYING-e1554914083237.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/>Maybe there\u2019s more than one spy and he\u2019s explaining to her which spy Graham\u2019s talking about.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sorry for the diversion, folks. But I see this stuff, and I just can\u2019t let it go. I have to react to it. Here\u2019s Trump. Reporters are tagging along like they always do, Trump on the way to the Marine One helicopter. (frenzied shouting) &#8220;Mr. President! Mr. President! Mr. President! What\u2019s the point? What\u2019s the thinking? W-w-why? Why, why, why, why don\u2019t you just release as much of the Mueller report as possible? We all want to see what you did! We all want to see the collusion. We all want to see the obstruction. Why don\u2019t&#8230;? Why don\u2019t you want us to see everything in it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1vU5wdjkctY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: It was an illegal investigation. It was started illegally. Everything about it was crooked. Every single thing about it. There were dirty cops. These were bad people. You look at McCabe and Comey, and you look at Lisa and Peter Strzok. These were bad people, and this was an attempted coup. This was an attempted takedown of a president, and we beat them. We beat them. So the Mueller report, when they talk about obstruction? We fight back.<\/p>\n<p>And do you know why we fight back? Because I knew how illegal this whole thing was. What I\u2019m most interested in is getting started. Hopefully the attorney general &#8212; he mentioned it yesterday; he\u2019s doing a great job &#8212; is getting started on going back to the origins of exactly where this all started. Because this was an illegal witch hunt. And everybody knew it. And they knew it too. And they got caught. And what they did was treason. There\u2019s never been anything like it in the history of our country.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Man, oh, man, that\u2019s just calling it out. And Barr is the person that made this possible by announcing yesterday that he didn\u2019t believe any of this, there was collusion or any of that, and then today saying that he\u2019s gonna investigate the investigation. He\u2019s gonna find out how the hell did this happen, why did this investigation happen. He\u2019s gonna look into it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-305649\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/App-Trump.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/App-Trump.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/App-Trump-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>The president claims he hasn\u2019t seen the report, hasn\u2019t seen the summary, hasn\u2019t seen anything, but he\u2019s obviously confident enough now to go out and call it what it was. By the way, I think it\u2019s ongoing. This is a point that I have continued to make. This is not, it never has been, an investigation. It is an attempt to overturn the election results of 2016 and get rid of Trump. And that effort is underway, it\u2019s ongoing, and it isn\u2019t gonna stop.<\/p>\n<p>Now, there is gonna be some accountability for the people that were responsible for this, and there\u2019s gonna be a lot of quaking in the boots for a lot of people at the FBI and some of the intelligence agencies, Brennan and Clapper and the media is gonna be included in this. But it\u2019s not gonna stop them from attempting to ruin or damage Donald Trump. But running around calling it what it is, this is language that legitimate members of the Washington establishment do not use.<\/p>\n<p>Even the victims of these kinds of political plays are not to ever accurately describe what happened. If you\u2019re an acknowledged member of the establishment and for any reason the establishment turns on you, you are to take it. You are to deal with whatever they dish out. And if they fail to take you out, you are not to gloat about it, and you\u2019re not to call them out on it. You are to accept that they failed and move on.<\/p>\n<p>And Trump is not doing any of that. He\u2019s calling them out for who they are, what they did, how they did it, and he\u2019s not gonna stop until everybody knows. Another reporter: \u201cHave you ever thought about making <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2019\/04\/09\/dems-and-drive-bys-obsessed-with-stephen-miller\/\">Stephen Miller the secretary of Homeland Security?<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Now, Stephen is an excellent guy. He\u2019s a wonderful person. People don\u2019t know him. He\u2019s been with me from the beginning. He\u2019s a brilliant man. And, frankly, there\u2019s only one person that\u2019s running it. You know who that is? It\u2019s me.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-243084\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/650-080317-Stephen-Miller.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/650-080317-Stephen-Miller.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/650-080317-Stephen-Miller-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, that reminds me.

They say Trump said, &#8220;You\u2019ve got to put your name on stuff or no one remembers you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMount Vernon president and CEO Doug Bradburn, who served as the VIP tour guide for the visit, noted that the first president was successful in getting the nation\u2019s capital named after himself, according to Politico, to which Trump conceded laughingly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-255772\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/FB-George-Washington.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/FB-George-Washington.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/FB-George-Washington-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(imitating Trump) \u201cYeah, that\u2019s a pretty good deal, got a town named after you, okay, that\u2019ll work.\u201d It\u2019s more evidence they have no idea of Trump\u2019s sense of humor. They have no idea of his personality. They have no idea who he is, and they are wound so tight that it is impossible for these people to lighten up. They cannot possibly see the joke or the humor in Trump saying, \u201cWhat good is this place if he doesn\u2019t name it after himself?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump may as well have said, &#8220;Washington should have named his jet after him like I put Trump on my jet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. President, Washington didn\u2019t have a jet. There were no airplanes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, you know what I mean.&#8221; George Washington is one of the Founding Fathers who doesn\u2019t get, in the modern era, nearly enough education. People are not taught anymore nearly enough about George Washington. And I\u2019m thinking of correcting that at some point, maybe even on today\u2019s program or later on during the week.<\/p>\n<p>We have time for &#8212; no. Let\u2019s take the break.
