The surreal nature of our lives today &#8212; those of us who are engaged and enmeshed in politics. The surreal nature, the Twilight Zone nature of all this just continues.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-266772\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-030618-Twilight-Zone.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-030618-Twilight-Zone.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-030618-Twilight-Zone-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Okay. So we got the Mueller report out. It finds no collusion. There never was any. Don\u2019t get me started on this. I\u2019m not only probably driving you crazy, I\u2019m driving myself crazy talking about this. There was no collusion. There was no investigation. All of this is a trumped up hoax.<\/p>\n<p>And Mueller didn\u2019t find any because there wasn\u2019t any to find and he had to go hopscotching all around and writing &#8212; this obstruction chapter of his report, by the way, this is one of the most &#8212; the attempt that Mueller &#8212; it\u2019s not the attempt. The thing that he did in writing that obstruction section, section 2 of this report, essentially is a smear. It is a gigantic smear of the president under the guise of desperately trying to decide whether or not we could indict or whether or not we could proclaim that the president obstructed justice.<\/p>\n<p>The setup continues. The word &#8220;unfairness&#8221; is just flashing in all caps right before my eyes. And then in the midst of all of this, here comes a so-called Republican senator on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Richard Burr from North Carolina, who does not have the support of any other Republican on the committee, issuing a new subpoena or request for Donald Trump Jr. to come up and offer more testimony, after the case is closed.<\/p>\n<p>Mitch McConnell, who runs the Senate, he\u2019s the Senate majority leader, a couple days ago said, &#8220;The case is closed,&#8221; and everybody is trying to figure out, what is Richard Burr doing? It\u2019s not hard to understand. The guy that runs that committee, even though he\u2019s in the minority, is Mark Warner, Mark Warner, the Democrat from Virginia, I\u2019m certain &#8212; I don\u2019t know this, but, I mean, how else could this have happened?<\/p>\n<p>There aren\u2019t any Republicans that are supporting Burr in this. It has to be the Democrats on that committee. And I guarantee &#8212; I can\u2019t guarantee you, but it seems to me that they think based on something they\u2019ve seen, read, or heard, that somebody there thinks that they can get Donald Trump Jr. on perjury or having lied.<\/p>\n<p>I suspect what it is is an attempt to unnerve and unravel Trump himself, President Trump, by going at and targeting his kids. The belief that you go after Trump\u2019s family and that\u2019s when Trump starts pay attention to you. You can hit him with everything you\u2019ve got and he\u2019ll fire back at you, but you take out after his family, and you\u2019re gonna get his goat.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the things that may be propelling this. There is no earthly reason for this. And so now the question becomes, \u201cWhat\u2019s Donald Trump Jr. gonna do about it? Is he gonna answer the subpoena? Is he gonna show up?\u201d Probably not. We can all only guess what is going to happen. It\u2019s like I say: It\u2019s surreal. This is over. There never was anything here. There never was a damn thing in this investigation. It has all been made up. It was all tied to the Steele dossier, which everybody\u2019s admitting now was paid for by the Democrat National Committee and Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-298427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-020119-Trump-Jr.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-020119-Trump-Jr.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-020119-Trump-Jr-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And in the midst of all of this, the Democrats are now claiming that the country is in the midst of a <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/442795-nadler-we-are-now-in-a-constitutional-crisis\">&#8220;constitutional crisis&#8221; because Jerry Nadler said that it is<\/a>. Unlike the crisis at the border, which is a crisis, and unlike the crisis in the media, which is a crisis, the Drive-Bys are not calling this a manufactured crisis ginned up for political reasons. Oh, no, no. This is a real constitutional crisis. And why? Because the Trump administration has asserted executive privilege. It is going to refuse to allow their attorney general to break the law.<\/p>\n<p>We have a constitutional crisis because the attorney general of the United States will not break the law. The House Judiciary Committee has voted to hold Barr, the attorney general, in contempt &#8212; party-line vote, of course &#8212; because the attorney general will not break the law and give them the unredacted Mueller report. And the unredacted portions of the Mueller report are largely grand jury testimony, which may not be revealed. By federal statute, it may not be revealed.<\/p>\n<p>In point of fact, the attorney general was under no legal requirement to even make this report public. The attorney general was under no legal requirement to share this with the United States Congress. Now, you might be saying, &#8220;Rush, that can\u2019t possibly be true, because every one of these previous special counsel reports have been made public and we know about \u2019em.&#8221; That\u2019s true. But the regulations and the statutes attaching to this particular special counsel &#8212; remember, this is special counsel, not independent counsel. Starr was an independent counsel. The whole arrangement was legally different back in the Starr days versus what\u2019s going on now with Mueller.<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019m telling you, Barr did not have to release this report. It is required, and it must be kept confidential. Now, the attorney general can make an exception if he wants, and he said that he would during his confirmation hearings. So he\u2019s following through on a commitment that he made, but he\u2019s not required to release it. It\u2019s not mandated by law that the attorney general release the report or make it available to Congress.<\/p>\n<p>But he has done both. And yet they still are holding him in contempt. Contempt of Congress. There wasn\u2019t even a subpoena. His appearance was to be voluntary. You can\u2019t hold somebody in contempt who was gonna voluntary show up, who was not there under subpoena, not there under demand. And Barr decided he wasn\u2019t gonna go and the Democrats on the committee said they are not qualified to ask questions, and they wanted some of their staff lawyers to start doing the questions.<\/p>\n<p>Barr said (paraphrased), &#8220;To hell with this! If you people can ask the right questions &#8212; you\u2019re the people\u2019s representatives &#8212; then I\u2019m not showing up.&#8221; So now they vote out contempt citation all because Barr won\u2019t show. The contempt is not for that. The contempt is that he won\u2019t release them the full Mueller report with all of the redactions made available.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-306577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-041819-Mueller-Report-xx.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-041819-Mueller-Report-xx.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-041819-Mueller-Report-xx-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So now the Democrats are claiming that this is grounds for impeachment. And now this is where this gets really crazy because the Democrats are claiming this is grounds for impeachment while at the same time they are saying that Trump is trying to goad them into impeaching him. We had this yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right, my friends, the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi &#8212; who increasingly cannot be understood when she speaks. She is increasingly more and more incoherent. But she is out there. When you can wade through the incoherence, the Speaker of the House is claiming that Trump is trying to goad the Democrats into impeaching him, that they really don\u2019t want to do it, but that they may not be able to help themselves because Trump is out there trying to get them, trying to goad them, trying to trick them, trying to fool them into impeaching him while the Democrats are claiming that Barr refusing to break the law is now grounds for impeachment. Another way Trump is trying to goad them into impeaching him is by declaring and asserting executive privilege.<\/p>\n<p>And, by the way, they say it is working. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/clips\/2019\/05\/08\/schiff-if-the-trump-administration-continues-this-stonewalling-we-have-to-prosecute\/\">Little Pencil Neck, Adam Schiff<\/a>, says that if Trump continues to stonewall Congress, Congress is gonna have to prosecute, which I assume means impeachment. But what has Trump stonewalled? Trump hasn\u2019t stonewalled anything. Donald Trump Jr. testified, what is it, 10 hours before the Senate Intelligence Committee? Maybe it\u2019s even longer than that. The president\u2019s lawyer, Don McGahn, testified for 30 hours. The White House turned over&#8230; All of this is pointless to even point out because that\u2019s not what this is all about.<\/p>\n<p>This is nothing more than the continued effort of a party that\u2019s got nothing using the willing accomplices they have in the media to manufacture a case that doesn\u2019t exist, that has no substance to it whatsoever, that Trump is stonewalling, that Trump is obstructing, that Trump is dishonest, that Trump colluded. They are hell-bent on making this work because they were so sure it was gonna work when the Mueller investigation began.<\/p>\n<p>So for the record and despite the media\u2019s claims to the contrary, up until now, Trump has only invoked executive privilege for the full Mueller report. And guess what we\u2019ve learned? Trump did that at the request of the attorney general. It turns out that Barr requested that Trump assert executive privilege. It\u2019s not even Trump\u2019s initiative.<\/p>\n<p>Now, that may be splitting hairs, but the point is important because the Drive-Bys are trying to paint a picture of a slowly deteriorating Donald Trump losing his mind, becoming Captain Queeg there in the Oval Office, slowly and surely becoming insane, at his wits\u2019 end, unable to keep up with all the news about all the losses and the tax returns and now his kids are being subpoenaed again and all this.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re trying to paint this picture that Trump is holed up in the White House and he\u2019s not helping &#8212; he\u2019s trying to circle the wagons and declaring executive privilege &#8212; when the truth is, the attorney general asked him to.<\/p>\n<p>Now, there\u2019s something else happening out there, folks, in addition to all that. We had this in a Morning Update a couple days ago. There\u2019s a columnist for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/05\/07\/opinion\/trump-2020.html\">New York Times called Thomas Friedman, Thomas &#8220;Loopy&#8221; Friedman<\/a>. And Friedman is part of the Washington establishment that just can\u2019t accept Donald Trump as a human being. They can\u2019t accept him as a human being. They can\u2019t accept him as president. They just can\u2019t accept it. They cannot deal with it.<\/p>\n<p>And so they have strategized, and they have plotted, and they have planed. They have tried everything they can think of since prior to the 2016 election to first deny the Trump the victory and then after he won to try to get him thrown out of office, and nothing has worked.<\/p>\n<p>Now, they\u2019ve paralyzed the administration. They\u2019ve done great damage public opinion-wise. But in terms of the objective of getting rid of Trump, they haven\u2019t. And it\u2019s very frustrating because they thought they would have able to do this by now. If this bunch of people really wants to get rid of a Washington politician, they can do it. They can do it any number of ways.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve got a playbook that they can cite and go back to that shows them how to do it because they\u2019ve done it so often. And they literally have tried everything that has worked in the past. They\u2019ve tried to create new weapons to get rid of Trump. Nothing has worked. They are at their wits\u2019 end.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-302131\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-031219-Never-Trump.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-031219-Never-Trump.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-031219-Never-Trump-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So &#8220;Loopy&#8221; Friedman had a column the other day advising Republicans what to do to help get rid of Donald Trump. To paraphrase his idea, Thomas Friedman suggested that the Republicans need to get together &#8212; the Never Trump Republicans need to get together &#8212;&nbsp; and find a Republican Never Trumper such as a Mitt Romney or a Ben Sasse to run for president in 2020. And not as a Republican because that means that person would lose in the primaries.<\/p>\n<p>The objective is to get a third-party candidate on the ballot who is a mainstream so-called Never Trump Republican and primarily in the states of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Minnesota, these Rust Belt states that Trump surprisingly won. But just get a Never Trumper on the ballot in as many states as possible to siphon votes away, Republican votes away from Trump, thereby ensuring the election of whoever the Democrats have nominated. Right now, the conventional wisdom is that it\u2019s gonna be Biden.<\/p>\n<p>So Thomas Friedman poses this idea in his New York Times column a couple days ago, and I am reliably informed that Never Trumpers throughout Washington are now actively engaged in trying to do this, in trying to make this happen, in trying to find somebody willing to run for president who does not want to win, just wants to get on the ballot and siphon enough votes away from Trump so that he can\u2019t win and ensure the Democrats will win the White House in 2020. Because to them, all that matters is getting rid of Donald Trump.&nbsp;That\u2019s all they can see, that\u2019s all they care about, that\u2019s the only thing motivating them and animating them.<\/p>\n<p>Now, how difficult do you think it\u2019s gonna be for them to find somebody like a Romney or a Sasse to actually try to get on a ballot in a way that would harm Trump? I don\u2019t think they\u2019re gonna have any trouble doing this. And I can\u2019t tell you how much damage these people are gonna end up doing to themselves and the Republican Party as a whole if they do this. And I think they have to know it. I think they don\u2019t care.<\/p>\n<p>I think the degree, the level of hatred for Donald Trump and all of you who voted for him is so great that if they have to destroy the Republican Party, if that\u2019s what it takes to get rid of Donald Trump, they are gonna be more than willing to do it because their egos tell them they\u2019ll be able to put the Republican Party back together after all of this and it will be better and it will be stronger and it will be more moderate than ever before.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-272713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/APP-050118-Swamp-Strikes-Back.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/APP-050118-Swamp-Strikes-Back.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/APP-050118-Swamp-Strikes-Back-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It will finally be a Republican Party where they can say they\u2019ve gotten rid of all of the conservatives because that is objective number two of the Never Trumper Republicans and the so-called mainstream Republicans, is to get rid of the conservative influences in the Republican Party.<\/p>\n<p>So for them it\u2019s a twofer, get rid of Trump and just anger conservative Republicans so much that they never, ever again vote Republican. That would be a dream come true for the Mitt Romneys and the Ben Sasses and all these Never Trumper intellectual magazine writers and publishers and you name it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I want to go to Palm Springs in California. This is Janet. And welcome. Great to have you here. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thanks, Rush. Hey, Rush, these Democrats know they can\u2019t touch Trump. They know Trump and Barr have this. And what they are doing is trying with their insanity to rile up their base, to split this country like it\u2019s never been split before. And somebody needs to tell us, hold your powder dry. What\u2019s coming down is not gonna be pretty, and they\u2019re gonna &#8212; you think these Democrats are asking &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait, wait, wuh wuh wuh wuh. Hold it a minute. I want to understand. Whose powder needs to be kept dry?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: We, the people who are awake, the people who understand that what Trump and Barr are doing is going to come down on the heads of these deep state people who have done what they\u2019ve done to this country, and their last hope is to make their base so nuts and so crazy and on so insane with their hatred for Trump. They know they can\u2019t touch Trump. They\u2019re going after their base. They want their base so furious at we who are awake that &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait a minute, now. Are you saying that they\u2019re trying to incite their base to violence?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Absolutely. Absolutely. That\u2019s exactly what\u2019s going on. If you could hear the rhetoric out here &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hey, hey, hey, now. Hey, now. I hear it. I read it. I\u2019m aware of how Looney Tunes and insane the Democrats are making their people. It\u2019s hard to separate the two, by the way, the Democrats and their base. But, no, I get it. Look. I\u2019m out of time. I\u2019m glad you got it said in the limited time. Great brevity.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Donald Trump Jr. testified for over 20 hours, 25 hours, about a 25-minute meeting at Trump Tower, and now they want him to come back. Looks like harassment to me.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Elkhart, Indiana. This is Kay. I\u2019m glad you waited. You\u2019re up, hi.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-272827\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/APP-050218-Scales-Justice.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/APP-050218-Scales-Justice.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/APP-050218-Scales-Justice-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>CALLER: Hi, Rush. The other day you said something I\u2019ve been thinking about. You said if it can happen to the president, it can happen to us. And I\u2019ve been thinking about that, and I think that\u2019s true. That if the Department of Justice can be weaponized against one person, it could be weaponized against all. And I think that the people who fight and bend laws to take freedoms away, they don\u2019t understand that at some point they\u2019ll be the ones who are not free, either. I mean, I taught my children a simple little thing called the law of sowing and reaping, and even they could understand that. And that\u2019s why in my mind this is not a Democrat issue, it\u2019s not a Republican issue, it\u2019s an all of us as American citizens issue.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing is that I learned, my kids taught me the bigger smoke screen they were blowing, the bigger the platter of baloney sandwiches they were trying to cover up. So when their reaction was greater than the inciting event, I knew it was time for me to do a little digging. So I\u2019m thinking inciting event, what was the inciting event? We had an election in 2016. This is America. That\u2019s what we do.<\/p>\n<p>But with this one, Trump won, heads exploded, hair caught on fire, and part of the country went incoherent. So the platter of baloney sandwiches, this is what I\u2019ve been thinking, Rush, must be really deep and really wide. And it bears some digging.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, I see this giant platter of baloney sandwiches.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Who\u2019s carrying it? Who\u2019s got the platter of baloney sandwiches?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: The people that are throwing the smoke screen to cover it up.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What are they covering up?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, the laws that they bent to go after the president and to get all of &#8212; I mean, scorched-earth, you\u2019ve talked in the past about how the Clintons used the scorched-earth campaign, and they would just torch anybody that came forward, anybody that was associated with these women. And that\u2019s what they\u2019re doing to the president, his family, his friends, they are just destroying. Why the intensity of these reactions? What are they covering up?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And what are they covering up?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, I think there\u2019s a lot of illegality that would never have come to light had Trump not won. And that\u2019s why it\u2019s so important &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, finally. I\u2019ve been thinking you\u2019re talking about voters all this time, and you\u2019re talking about the administrative state types. Okay. Okay. I misunderstood. I\u2019m glad you called, Kay.
