<\/p>\nRUSH: So 64% of the American people know or think the FBI knew the dossier was a bunch of crap when they applied for a search warrant against the Trump campaign. Only 34% of those people know that Hillary Clinton paid for it. Now, here\u2019s the next little bit of news that we have learned. It is from the Washington Times.<\/p>\n
Special counsel Robert… And, by the way, for those of you… And I\u2019m using my empathy here… I know some of you are probably thinking, “Rush, could you get off of this? It\u2019s over with. It\u2019s done with.” No, it\u2019s not! That\u2019s the point, folks. This is what\u2019s driving everything. The Mueller report and nothing in it. Two and a half years of getting Trump and a failure. This is what is driving everything. I would love to be able to move on from this stuff, but they won\u2019t!<\/p>\n
And until they do, I\u2019m not gonna stop talking about it. These people are not gonna get away with mischaracterizing this over and over again. “Special Counsel Robert Mueller relied on the media to feed his Russian election interference report, citing scores of stories in the media that promoted the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy.” In other words, the FBI did this too.<\/p>\n
Let me walk you through this again, because this still remains as outrageous as it ever was. The first day I learned about this, I still am hell-bent that somebody or a bunch of people be held accountable and pay the price for this, because this is as un-American and unconstitutional as it gets. Okay. So you have the FBI, Struck Strzok Smirk and Lisa Page. You\u2019ve got McCabe. You\u2019ve got Comey. You got this whole cabal. They hate Trump. They love Hillary. They want Trump gone. Trump wins the election; they\u2019re beside themselves. They can\u2019t stand it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So they begin the effort here to largely drive down his public approval numbers, which is the key to being able to impeach him. So the FBI calls… Let\u2019s go back to the campaign. They want to spy on the Trump campaign, not because there\u2019s Russians involved, but because they want to try to create collusion with Russia. Do not mistake me. The FBI, these people in it, wanted to create the collusion. They tried to get a couple of informants hired. They didn\u2019t succeed in doing that; so they want to spy on the Trump campaign, to use Carter Page.<\/p>\n
The FBI creates some phony news, some phony information and leaks it to the New York Times and Washington Post. The New York Times and the Washington Post then print what the FBI has leaked to them anonymously. Then the FBI takes what they told the Washington Post and the New York Times and they put it in the application to get a warrant to spy, and they take it to the FISA court. And, in addition to the dossier, they say, “Look, Judge, even the New York Times and the Washington Post are suggesting there might be Trump-Russia collusion.”<\/p>\n
Well, what they didn\u2019t tell the FISA judge is that the only reason the New York Time and the Washington Post had it is because the FBI told them. The FBI told the New York Times and the Washington Post about these supposed links of collusion. They publish the story. The FBI then takes those, adds them to their list of evidence to get a warrant. That\u2019s what Mueller did. Mueller, in this report of his, cites hundreds of newspaper stories as evidence, or as things that he followed up. Well, these newspaper stories would not have been published had Mueller associates in the FBI, Donald Trump, leaked the information to them.<\/p>\n
Special Counsel Robert Mueller relied on the media to feed his Russian election interference report. In other words, Mueller\u2019s staff of Democrat aligned prosecutors favored the New York Times over other publications. The Mueller report cites more than 60 New York Times stories as evidence of Trump-Russia collusion! Well, not as evidence because there wasn\u2019t any, but as a reason they were following it up.<\/p>\n
In other words, Mueller\u2019s report tries to say that the investigation was legitimate because it also showed up in the media, in addition to what we in our own team were doing, look what the New York Times and Washington Post found out. Well, they didn\u2019t know anything until the FBI leaked it to them. The report refers to the Washington Post 40 times. CNN has about a dozen citations. NBC News gets mentioned 10 times. And its anchor, Lester Holt, is the lone journalist to appear in the report\u2019s personalities glossary, and that\u2019s from his May 2017 interview with Trump. This is just further ammo, information…They didn\u2019t have anything.<\/p>\n
The media had nothing without the leaks from investigators. Those leaks get published. The investigators turn around and use those published stories as backup for their own efforts. The same thing they did to try to get a FISA… Folks, this is a bigger scam than anybody has yet been able to get their arms around.<\/p>\n
Trey Gowdy… Grab audio sound bites 19 and 20. Trey Gowdy was on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo on Fox. She said, “Talk about the FBI\u2019s conversations with George Papadopoulos. Because when the FBI agent sends in informants to someone they\u2019re looking at, typically those conversations are recorded, right? These people, they\u2019re wired up.” He\u2019s talking about… Or she\u2019s asking about Stefan Halper and Joseph Mifsud are the two people, the informants that fed Papadopoulos the story that the Russians had dirt on Hillary Clinton. Here is what Trey Gowdy\u2019s answer is.<\/p>\n
