<\/p>\nRUSH: Right now the formerly bulbous Jerry Nadler is doing a press conference. Ahem. He is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.\u00a0 He\u2019s reacting to Mueller, and I didn\u2019t need to listen to this to know what Nadler\u2019s saying.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
(chuckles) Mueller clearly gave these guys this mirage that Trump is gettable.\u00a0 That\u2019s what he told \u2019em! (paraphrased) Trump\u2019s gettable. He couldn\u2019t do it because of Justice Department guidelines. “But by God, by God, we know something\u2019s there!” And he said, “Remedies for things like this reside in Congress,” clearly meaning impeachment.\u00a0 So, Nadler is out there doing his reaction to this, and it has brought forth a whole bunch of Democrats from behind closed doors beginning now to shout, “Impeachment! We gotta do it. It\u2019s required.<\/p>\n
“Mueller\u2019s pretty much given us the road map,” da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.\u00a0 We\u2019re rolling on Nadler, and if he says anything here noteworthy, we will have it.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Our old buddy Jerry Nadler has come through. He did a scripted press conference, took two questions, he read his statement again in answer to both questions. We have two sound bites. Here is number one.<\/p>\n
NADLER: Unfortunately, Special Counsel Mueller was unable to pursue criminal charges against the president because Department of Justice policy prevents a sitting president from being prosecuted. That policy, in my opinion, is wrong, but it prevented the special counsel from pursuing justice to the fullest extent possible. Therefore, as Mueller again highlighted this morning, it falls to Congress to respond to the crimes, lies, and other wrongdoing of President Trump. We will do so. Special Counsel Mueller said loud and clear today to the American people is that President Trump is lying, when he says no collusion, no obstruction, and that he was exonerated.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait a minute.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Nadler-Lambs-1994.jpg\")
NADLER: If Mueller wanted to exonerate the president from having committed the crime, he would have said so.<\/p>\n
RUSH: No. No. This is great. It\u2019s not great. Don\u2019t misunderstand. Jerry\u2019s an idiot. \u201cSpecial Counsel Mueller said loud and clear today for the American people that Trump is lying\u201d? When did Mueller say this? Mueller did not say that! This is just classic. In fact, the next bite is a response to a question from a reporter, “Are you gonna subpoena Mueller to testify, then?”<\/p>\n
NADLER: Mr. Mueller, um, um, told us a lot of what we need to hear today.<\/p>\n
RUSH: There you have it! No, I don\u2019t think we need to hear from Mr. Mueller now. Mr. Mueller told us everything we needed to move forward. This is so obvious what has happened here. Folks, this confirms everything that I have thought about and shared with you in this entire program today.<\/p>\n
This whole thing today was about Mueller keeping hope alive for these guys to go out and get Trump. He didn\u2019t find any evidence. There wasn\u2019t any evidence, nothing has changed. There was no collusion, there was no obstruction, there are no indictments, Comey is still a leaker, Donald Trump is still president, nothing has changed. But Jerry Nadler\u2019s out there saying that Mueller confirmed that Trump lied. What?<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Jeff in Quincy, Illinois.\u00a0 Glad you waited, sir.\u00a0 Great to have you on the program.\u00a0 Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER:\u00a0 Hi, Rush.\u00a0 My comment today is about Robert Mueller\u2019s investigation and the damage that it\u2019s done even before today\u2019s news. But the damage that he, as a partisan, has done to the Republican Party and to Donald Trump\u2019s presidency.\u00a0 If you think back over the last two years, there was this pall hanging over everyone. You know, voters going into the 2018 midterms were thinking, “Gosh.\u00a0 You know, this Trump guy, maybe he colluded with the Russians.”\u00a0 You know, they were raiding Roger Stone\u2019s house and so on and so forth.\u00a0 What happens then?<\/p>\n
A record number of Republican congressmen did not run for reelection, incumbents didn\u2019t run, and that cost us dearly.\u00a0 In purple districts, people were afraid to have Trump do a rally.\u00a0 So instead of losing 41 seats like we did, maybe we would have lost 25 or 20.\u00a0 I mean, if we didn\u2019t lose the House, they couldn\u2019t even impeach Trump.\u00a0 I just think the damage that\u2019s been done… I mean, there\u2019s really only one remedy.\u00a0 The one remedy is to reboot, it\u2019s to undo all of this, and that\u2019s gonna be up to William Barr.\u00a0 Barr hopefully brings some of the information that you\u2019d like to see Mueller talk about. He\u2019s not gonna talk about it, but Barr can get to the bottom of it.<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 Well, this is exactly right.\u00a0 This is another reason why I think that Mueller doesn\u2019t want to testify, \u2019cause the first question, if I had a chance at him, would be, “You knew there was no collusion six months before the midterms.\u00a0 Why didn\u2019t you say so?\u00a0 Why did you allow this to go on until and after the midterm elections?”<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why he\u2019s not gonna testify. He doesn\u2019t want that question. He knew when he was handed the file from James Comey there was no collusion. He knew the dossier was it. That\u2019s why I have been blue in the face trying to tell people this was not an investigation. There wasn\u2019t anything to find. There was never any evidence.<\/p>\n
Folks, do you realize the power of this state? There was never any evidence that Trump colluded! The only thing they ever had was the dossier. It\u2019s the same thing with climate change. There is no evidence of it. The only thing they have are computer models forecasting it 30 years, 40 years down the road. And then when inclement weather hits, they say, “See? We\u2019re right.”<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-032519-Russia-Hoax.jpg\")
There isn\u2019t any evidence that man has anything to do with the climate. But do people know this? There was never any evidence that there was any collusion. In fact, the evidence is the opposite, that the Hillary Clinton campaign, the DNC, the Obama administration were doing all the collusion. That\u2019s what is so frustrating about this. And Mueller knew it.<\/p>\n
So Jeff here is exactly right. This thing cost Trump the midterm elections. It did cause a bunch of Republicans to retire. The given excuse was that they were losing their committee chairmanships because they\u2019d been term limited. That\u2019s not why. Half of them thought Trump did it! Didn\u2019t want to be in the House when they didn\u2019t run the committee or when they were in the minority.<\/p>\n
Incumbency is the most powerful tool reelection has. The incumbency rate is 95% in the House of Representatives. We should not have lost the House. Should not, could not, was not, didn\u2019t matter; we did. But Mueller was culpable in it. And now you say Barr. This is important to remember. Mueller today went out and did his best to discredit Barr and anything Barr says or does from this day forward, folks.<\/p>\n
Do not discount this! Barr is on record two different times. One of them testimony saying Mueller told him three times that the office of legal counsel guidelines on not indicting a president had no basis on Mueller\u2019s not finding any evidence of obstruction. Barr said that two different times, one of them under testimony. Today what did Mueller do? Mueller said the only reason that he didn\u2019t indict is because the Justice Department says you can\u2019t.<\/p>\n
So somebody is lying big time. And, by the way, it\u2019s not just Barr. Rosenstein and a bunch of other people with Barr are also saying that Mueller told them the guidelines had nothing to do with it. So Mueller goes out there today and says the guidelines are the only reason we didn\u2019t. I guarantee you, the media is gonna say Barr is lying and the reason is so they can discredit whatever Barr comes up with in his investigation of the investigation.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: So Mueller gave them what he wanted today without having to testify. Doesn\u2019t want to testify. And I\u2019m telling you again the reason Mueller doesn\u2019t want to testify is not \u2019cause he\u2019s afraid of the Democrats.<\/p>\n
He doesn\u2019t want to get questions the Republicans would ask him, such as, “You knew there was no collusion before the midterms. Why didn\u2019t you announce it?\u201d<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t want to deal with any of that. And now he\u2019s said (paraphrasing), “I\u2019m done. I\u2019m outta here.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
