<\/p>\nRUSH: So let me just get to an overriding thought here. I have thought the Mueller report was bogus from before it was written. I have thought the Mueller investigation was bogus from before it began. I have thought this whole story of collusion was a trumped-up political thing hatched by the losers of the 2016 presidential election, and I don\u2019t need to go through all that.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve heard me say this. I\u2019ve made the point over and over again. Mueller got the file. He got the file from Comey on his first day on the job, opens the file; it\u2019s empty. There is no collusion, there has never been any evidence of it. There was no reason for Mueller to do his investigation. There was no reason for him to wait a year to say there was no collusion. There was no reason for a 448-page report. Now, I\u2019m gonna tell you what\u2019s happening here.<\/p>\n
A lie was constructed by Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party that the Russians colluded with the campaign, and this explains why Hillary didn\u2019t win. It was a lie from top to bottom. They created a phony dossier to support the lie. It all goes to the top of the Obama administration and the Hillary Clinton campaign. Now, it seems to me that this was a poisonous tree from the beginning. Everything about this has been a lie. As such, it is going to fall apart at some point, and I think that\u2019s what we are watching.<\/p>\n
It may not look like it to you because the Democrats are promoted by the media, and the media makes what the Democrats are doing look like they are winning and that they are succeeding. Except if you look at facts and if you look at reality, Donald Trump is still the president, and the economy is roaring, and the Democrats don\u2019t have an answer for anything. They\u2019re not winning. They won the House, but they\u2019re even botching that, and the Drive-By Media is jumping all over \u2019em.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re on the verge of losing Chuck Todd, they\u2019re on the verge of losing Gloria Borger, and they\u2019re on the verge of losing a couple of others. You\u2019ll hear it in sound bites coming up. So this big, fat lie — Russian collusion, Trump-Russia collusion — is a gigantic poison tree, and now every bit of poisonous fruit on that tree is beginning to fall. The fruit of the poisonous tree and every element of it is beginning to drift away and fall apart. There was no reason, legitimate or otherwise, to even start this whole thing, except it was started.<\/p>\n
But there was no reason for it, particularly under the premise that we were told, that Trump the cheated, that Trump was a traitor, that Trump was a Russian agent. There has never been an ounce of truth to it, and there has never been any evidence suggesting it, and there will not be because it didn\u2019t happen. Everything from the beginning of this has been illegitimate. There was never a legitimate reason for doing this.<\/p>\n
Unless you want to say, “It\u2019s legitimate that Democrats should win every election, and when they don\u2019t, that there\u2019s some kind of a scandal,” which does happen to be their point of view. From the very beginning of this thing, it was phony. It was constructed and built on lies, and everything that has come — everything that\u2019s happened, everything that has taken place because of this in the past three years — has become poisoned, has become corrupted.<\/p>\n
The Mueller report is one of the biggest bombs in the history of literature, it\u2019s one of the biggest bombs in the history of politics, and everybody involved with it knows it. Now everybody\u2019s noses are out of joint because they weren\u2019t successful in peddling 448 pages of garbage into an impeachment of the president. They\u2019re still trying to pull that off and make it happen, but they know they\u2019ve got a dud.<\/p>\n
They know they\u2019ve got a bomb on their hands, and they so far haven\u2019t been able to take it out on Mueller. So they take it out on Barr and anybody else they can. As Barr said yesterday, this whole thing is a “snitty” joke. That\u2019s how he described Mueller\u2019s letter: “snitty.” What a great word. It\u2019s a takeoff on the word snooty. Snooty means fake, elite, phony, arrogance and so forth, undeserved arrogance. Mueller\u2019s letter was “snitty.” The Mueller report was a “snitty” joke.<\/p>\n
