<\/p>\nRUSH: Okay. So, now we know the evidence is clear, the evidence is in. What we have suspected all along is the case. The special counsel, Robert Mueller, wanted to nail President Trump and still wants to nail President Trump. There is no difference between Robert Mueller and any Democrat or member of the media in that town.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The only problem that Robert Mueller had was there isn\u2019t any evidence to nail the president, and so he is attempting to imply that the president committed all kinds of crimes, but, in the end, Robert Mueller says Department of Justice guidelines prevent us from indicting the president; it would be constitutional; and so we can\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n
Mr. Mueller, if that\u2019s true — and that\u2019s not what Attorney General Barr says that you told him, by the way, and there\u2019s a lot of other people in the Department of Justice who say that those guidelines had nothing to do with you and your report on your decision not to charge crimes where the obstruction was concerned.<\/p>\n
If all of that is true, then why do this investigation in the first place? Because the only reason for it was to get Donald Trump. It wasn\u2019t to find whether or not the Russians had colluded because everybody knew that. There never has been any evidence that Trump colluded. All there ever was was that dossier.<\/p>\n
My problem watching analysts on TV talk about this today is everybody\u2019s still accepting the legitimacy of this investigation, and it was not an investigation. There was never any evidence linking Trump to the Russians, never. All they ever had was the dossier. You people that have been listening to me regularly are blue in the face hearing about it.<\/p>\n
But Robert Mueller made it clear as a bell today that he wants to nail Donald Trump and he wants Donald Trump out of office, he just doesn\u2019t have the evidence. And so he\u2019s asked Congress to take over the job. But he kept talking about how guidelines, regulations in the DOJ prevent the indicting of a sitting president. They can\u2019t do it! So what was the purpose of this? Why do this investigation at all if from the very beginning you could not nail the president?<\/p>\n
This investigation was not to determine what the Russians had done. Everybody had already reached a conclusion the Russians had tampered, whether it was true or not. This investigation was not an investigation. It was an attempt to reverse the election results of 2016. It was an attempt to imply the guilt of the president and that attempt to imply the guilt of the president continued today with this shameful performance of this guy and his eight-minute statement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I\u2019m surprised the journalists who were denied the opportunity to ask questions didn\u2019t give him a standing ovation when he left the podium today. No, no. I am fit to be tied over this. I\u2019m watching analysts all over treat this as a legitimate investigation. What did Mueller find? What did he say here? It has never been a legitimate investigation from the get-go.<\/p>\n
Now, some other points that Mueller made here that ought to be just disappointing as hell to the Democrats, but they\u2019re being overlooked by one statement. Robert Mueller makes one statement which this alone ought to disqualify this entire two years. “If we had evidence the president did not commit a crime, we would have said so.”<\/p>\n
“If we had confidence the president did not commit a crime, we would have said so.” So I assume it\u2019s also true, Mr. Mueller, that if you had confidence President Trump did commit a crime, you would have said so. That\u2019s how it\u2019s supposed to work. If you find evidence he did commit a crime, that\u2019s when you say so. But you can\u2019t say that. Mueller cannot say that they have evidence that President Trump did commit a crime because there isn\u2019t any, ladies and gentlemen!<\/p>\n
The dossier is all they ever had. There is no evidence. That should have been the message, and that is the message of the report. Mueller goes out there today and basically turns justice on its head — and, by the way, it\u2019s in the report as well. He didn\u2019t say anything today that\u2019s not in the report. He knows that most people haven\u2019t read it. So he goes out there and says things that people are gonna interpret as, “Oh, he added to it today,” which is what the Democrats have been begging for.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t add to anything. He continued the injustice of all of this. “If we had evidence the president did not commit a crime, if we had confidence the president did not commit a crime, we would have said so.” That\u2019s not what you do in this country. If you have evidence he did commit a crime, you say so, but you can\u2019t say so and you haven\u2019t said so and you won\u2019t say so because there isn\u2019t any.<\/p>\n
You interviewed 500 witnesses. You had over a million documents. You put people in jail. You sweated people. You destroyed their lives. You wiped them out financially. And you still don\u2019t have any evidence! And yet you do an eight-minute little press conference today with no questions where you imply the president did it?<\/p>\n
But you can\u2019t find any evidence. And so then you turn it over to Congress. That\u2019s what everybody heard: The Constitution has a remedy for prosecutorial paralysis. When prosecutors can\u2019t prosecute then Congress takes over.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
He begged \u2019em to impeach. He gave them the green light. He said that\u2019s what you people have to do. I can\u2019t do it because I don\u2019t have any evidence.<\/p>\n
Now, what I think he said in this report that is the bombshell — and let\u2019s put it in context. From the moment this report came out and from the moment the attorney general characterized this report, what\u2019s been the position of the Democrat Party, from Pelosi to Jerry Nadler, to Pencil Neck Schiff, the media, everybody?<\/p>\n
Is that Mueller has evidence and that Barr is not releasing it and we need to talk to Mueller. We gotta get to Mueller. Mueller, there\u2019s gotta be more in this report. Barr is lying. Barr is handpicked by Trump. Barr is covering for Trump. We need to talk to Mueller.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why they wanted Mueller to come up and testify, because they are telling everybody that they know for sure that there\u2019s more to this than what\u2019s in the report. That Mueller probably does have evidence of collusion, but that Barr is covering it up and Mueller is staying silent for some reason.<\/p>\n
So what does Mueller do today? He comes out and says (paraphrased), “There ain\u2019t anything beyond what\u2019s in this report. What\u2019s in the report is it. There\u2019s nothing. You bring me up to talk; I can\u2019t tell you anything other than what\u2019s in the report.” Mueller shut them down. That\u2019s the news of this, to me, today. They have been trying to tell the people of this country that Robert Mueller did find collusion. They\u2019ve been implying that. They\u2019ve wanted people to infer that there\u2019s evidence of collusion, evidence of all kinds of stuff, and that Barr has been covering it up.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-052919-Mueller-Report.jpg\")
Barr has been hiding it, and Mueller has not had a chance to say his piece and they want Mueller to come up and say it. Mueller came out there today and told Nadler and told Pelosi and told everybody, “There nothing in this beyond what\u2019s in this. There is nothing more I can tell you than what\u2019s in the report. The report speaks for itself.” Meaning: “I don\u2019t have any evidence of collusion. I don\u2019t have any evidence of obstruction. I don\u2019t have any evidence of anything.” But that\u2019s not what he said.<\/p>\n
He said, “I don\u2019t have enough evidence to tell you he didn\u2019t do it.” Where is that ever part of the American system of jurisprudence? I mean, it is just outrageous what this was today. Now it\u2019s being called “explosive,” and the reason it\u2019s being called explosive is because Barr has said on numerous occasions that the Office of Legal Counsel guidelines where you cannot indict a sitting president… Barr has said that he asked Mueller about that, and Mueller said, “No, that\u2019s not why we didn\u2019t find any evidence and didn\u2019t accuse the president of anything on the obstruction volume.”<\/p>\n
Well, Mueller went out there today and said just the exact opposite, that the only reason they didn\u2019t charge the president is (summarized) “because of those guidelines of the Office of Legal Counsel that you cannot indict a sitting president no matter what the hell you do, and so we never have. From the moment this began, we have never been able to write a report accusing the president or charging him.” Well, then what has been the purpose of this?<\/p>\n
He made it clear I don\u2019t know how many times, “Charging the president was not an option we could consider.”\u00a0 Really?\u00a0 This nation\u2019s population thought that this investigation was to determine whether or not the president committed a crime and was gonna be charged with it.\u00a0 And today the lead investigator tells us that from the get-go, charging the president was not an option they could even consider because of guidelines that say you can\u2019t indict a sitting president?<\/p>\n
