Phil Mudd. I think Mudd is a former CIA guy. (muttering) Yeah, former deputy director, CIA Counterterrorism Center. He\u2019s a routine guest on CNN, and he has (for the past two years) been selling the Steele dossier. He\u2019s been promoting it. He has been one of the most vociferous Never Trumpers. He\u2019s been in the Clapper and the Brennan camp. &#8220;Trump\u2019s guilty, Trump\u2019s gonna go, Trump\u2019s gotta go, Trump\u2019s a scumbag,&#8221; whatever it is.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no different than what anybody else at CNN has been saying, but since he\u2019s former CIA deputy director, what he said was given additional weight. It\u2019s like Brennan. When Mueller came out with his report and said there was no collusion, Brennan said (impression) &#8220;Well, I &#8212; I must&#8230; I must have been given false information! I &#8212; I don\u2019t know how this could have happened.&#8221; &#8216;Cause Brennan was out predicting that Trump was gonna be not just impeached but indicted and sent to jail. I mean, Brennan was one of the ringleaders of all of this. I want you to listen to what Mudd here says because I think this means that the Barr investigation&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-311139\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060519-Mudd-CNN-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060519-Mudd-CNN-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060519-Mudd-CNN-2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I had a great interview yesterday with Devin Nunes of the House Judiciary Committee &#8212; he\u2019s former chair &#8212; and his thoughts on what\u2019s happening now with all of this. <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/join-rush-247\/\">It will be in the next issue of The Limbaugh Letter.<\/a> I might do excerpts here on the program to promote it and plug it. But he was unencumbered, shall we say, was Congressman Nunes, and he is&#8230; I\u2019ll just tell you: He is convinced that there are going to indictments of some of these people. He\u2019s convinced of it. Not convinced of jail time, but he\u2019s convinced that there\u2019s gonna be indictments.<\/p>\n<p>I think the sound bite from Mudd who, again&#8230; I mean, he cuts a very suave and debonair figure, and I\u2019m told that many of the female guests and analysts at CNN really have a kind of Clintonesque attachment to the guy. He could be in a Bond movie. So he was on The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzed, and he said, &#8220;Christopher Steele, former British spy, author of&#8221; now it\u2019s &#8220;the so-called dossier,&#8221; that\u2019s Wolf Blitzed (chuckles), &#8220;has agreed to talk with the Department of Justice investigates about his work, his cooperation with the FBI. How significant is it, Phil Mudd?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>MUDD: This is significant. This will be a car wreck! Let me give you how this game ends. Christopher Steele shows up in front of the Department of Justice and I\u2019m guessing doesn\u2019t have terrific answers for the quality of the information in that Steele dossier. I\u2019m telling you, Wolf: This is not gonna go well. I can\u2019t believe he has perfect answers about the origins of the Steele dossier. I\u2019m not even sure why he\u2019s showin\u2019 up. If I were him, I\u2019d go to Disney World. I would not go to the Department of Justice, because it will not end up well.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, he\u2019s already on record. He had to testify in trial in the U.K. They have much different libel laws there. You have a much easier time proving libel and being awarded damages, libel and slander, in the U.K. than you do here. They don\u2019t have any public figure obstacle there. Just because you\u2019re a public figure, doesn\u2019t mean anybody can say what they want to say about you over there. He\u2019s already testified that he can\u2019t prove anything in his dossier. So he\u2019s got really no hope.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that he\u2019s gonna talk to these people is another sign of the rats scurrying among all the other rats on the ship and trying to get off. Now, Mudd&#8230; This had to be a devastating day when Mueller came back with no collusion and the dossier was demonstrated to be nothing. This dossier has had nothing factual in it from the first day it was ever seen by anybody, the first day it was used. I don\u2019t know if Mudd knew that or was faking it or didn\u2019t know it and believed everything in it. I actually think&#8230; You know, we talk about the media and how they were instrumental.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-282046\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/FB-002-013118-Nunes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/FB-002-013118-Nunes.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/FB-002-013118-Nunes-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>Nunes yesterday was talking about this. I ran my question by him: &#8220;How do you think it is that not one journalist saw a career opportunity here to go get the real story?&#8221; He said, &#8220;They believed it, Rush. It\u2019s not that&#8230; None of them doubted it. They all believed it. They\u2019re cozy with their sources. They think they live in the same world. They want to be in the same league. So if these big time intel people are talking to \u2019em, that\u2019s a big deal. They believed it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I guess that\u2019s true; I think Mudd did too.<\/p>\n<p>But now, now, &#8220;The Steele dossier? Ha-ha-ha! It\u2019s nothing. This guy ought to be ashamed. He shouldn\u2019t even show up and talk to anybody!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is falling apart rapidly, is my point, and I wanted to share that with you.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wyandotte, Michigan. Rob, I\u2019m glad you waited. Great to have you with us, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush, do you have any more Phil Mudd sound bites from yesterday? I heard that interview and I also heard him say if the dossier does turn out to be fake, and Clapper, Comey, and Brennan used it for a FISA warrant, there\u2019s going to be trouble.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019ve got the story. I only have the one sound bite from Phil Mudd. Grab sound bite number 2. Let me play it quickly and I\u2019ll go through some of the other things. He was on CNN all day. I\u2019ve got a story of his interview with the smartest man on TV, Don Lemon. But here is the question that he got from Wolf Blitzed last night. \u201cChristopher Steele, former British spy, author of that so-caller dossier has agreed to speak with Department of Justice investigators about his work, his cooperation with the FBI. How significant is that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is the stupidest &#8212; Blitzer is quaking in his boots like everybody in the media is. How significant is it? They all know by now this thing was a crock. They should have known from day one it was a crock, but they certainly know now. So Blitzer\u2019s asking Phil Mudd, \u201cHow significant is this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MUDD: This is significant. This will be a car wreck! Let me give you how this game ends. Christopher Steele shows up in front of the Department of Justice, and I\u2019m guessing doesn\u2019t have terrific answers for the quality of the information in that Steele dossier. I\u2019m telling you, Wolf: This is not gonna go well. I can\u2019t believe he has perfect answers about the origins of the Steele dossier. I\u2019m not even sure why he\u2019s showin\u2019 up. If I were him, I\u2019d go to Disney World. I would not go to the Department of Justice, because it will not end up well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-309170\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-050719-Investigators-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-050719-Investigators-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-050719-Investigators-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: Okay. So you saw him elsewhere, and what else did he &#8212; he said the same thing about Comey?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No. Right around that time, right when he was saying those other things, he said if the dossier turns out to be fake and they used it for a FISA warrant, there\u2019s gonna be trouble. Right during that same interview.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. Well, he\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: He is.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: There\u2019s no question. The thing again, look, I\u2019m not by any means an expert on CNN. I have it on here every day. I listen to it rarely, but I see what\u2019s going on. And I know that Phil Mudd\u2019s a former CIA deputy director, and he was on CNN for one reason. He\u2019s part of the group of people that just can\u2019t abide Trump, and he was part of the group &#8212; they all were &#8212; that was spreading the myths associated with this dossier.<\/p>\n<p>The dossier is all they ever had. All they ever had was so-called intel from the Hillary campaign. Everybody associated with this, it turns out, was associated with Hillary. Downer, the Alexander Downer, the ambassador from Australia. One of the points Devin Nunes made yesterday &#8212; it\u2019s a really, really great question &#8212; is he acknowledged that it\u2019s true, that all of this that we know came from Hillary Clinton-related people.<\/p>\n<p>Steele was paid by Hillary. Glenn Simpson paid by Hillary, Fusion GPS. Perkins Coie law firm. But then how\u2019d the FBI get involved? Nunes wants to know when did that happen? We know that Hillary was running a political opposition research program here and the dossier is part of that. But what caused the FBI to pick it up and start treating it as legitimate intel? And he made it sound like he\u2019s not sure of this. He\u2019d like to know when that happened and who facilitated that.<\/p>\n<p>The answer to that is gonna be contained somewhere in the Obama administration because all of these people that then end up in the FBI, like Comey and McCabe and then the CIA, Brennan and the director national intelligence Clapper, these are all Obama people. At some point the Hillary Clinton opposition research division ends up being taken over by the FBI and converted into a counterintelligence investigation. And that\u2019s when the FBI takes this dossier and gets a FISA warrant on it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-288831\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ZZ-APP-Rush-MASTER-World-A-C-005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ZZ-APP-Rush-MASTER-World-A-C-005.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ZZ-APP-Rush-MASTER-World-A-C-005-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>And as our caller points out here, Phil Mudd did say last night that if they did that, there are &#8212; I don\u2019t know &#8220;problem.&#8221; These guys that were all on CNN, there\u2019s not a one of them that was ever warning anybody that the dossier could be fake. They were all believing it. There was more fake news in this story than we\u2019ve seen in any single story in our lifetimes.<\/p>\n<p>Three to four times a day Washington Post, New York Times, anonymous intel sources, former and current government officials. And they were reporting this on CNN every day for two years breathlessly. They\u2019re all part of the &#8220;the walls are closing in on Donald Trump&#8221; crowd. Now all of a sudden we\u2019ve got the Mueller report and the dossier doesn\u2019t even get mentioned in it because everybody knows the dossier was political oppo research. It was not intel.<\/p>\n<p>And now all of a sudden these people that were warning that Trump\u2019s history, it\u2019s only a matter of time, are now warning that people that believed the dossier, that were spreading the dossier around, that were using the dossier, they\u2019re the ones in trouble?<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s Phil Mudd talking to Lemon last night. \u201cIf you\u2019re conducting oppo research, somebody\u2019s paying me to find oppo information, let\u2019s say about you, Mr. Lemon. In the intel business, I gotta validate that. I need a second source, a third source. I need to confirm my information on the intel side that Don Lemon is accurate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lemon says: \u201cWasn\u2019t Steele just supposed to gather the information and the intelligence community figures out whether it\u2019s true or not?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mudd: \u201cNo. Steele is supposed to gather the information, then the Republicans or Democrats use it in a political ad. This is not an intelligence game.\u201d This is incredible as an admission here!<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I want to go back. I had to hurry through this before we get back to the phones. Don Lemon and Phil Mudd here talking about Christopher Steele\u2019s work. And Lemon &#8212; this is classic &#8212; Mudd is trying to tell him that Steele, all of a sudden, now we know is a bad actor, he\u2019s trafficking in BS. None of what he said was real, none of it was true, he\u2019s got a lot of explaining to do, says Phil Mudd, who originally bought into it and loved it.<\/p>\n<p>So he\u2019s talking to Don Lemon about it, and Don Lemon wants to protect Steele! So Don Lemon says, &#8220;But how\u2019s this Steele\u2019s fault? Isn\u2019t he just supposed to gather the information and then the intelligence community\u2019s supposed to figure it out?&#8221; And the stupidity of the question is that Steele is the intelligence community! Steele is the guy. It\u2019s supposed to be verified before he presents it to anybody.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s legitimate intel, it\u2019s supposed to have some grain &#8212; that\u2019s what Mudd\u2019s telling him here. It\u2019s gotta have some relation to the truth because then the analysts take over and start putting it all together and seeing if there is anything here. But you just don\u2019t submit BS. If you\u2019re an intelligence agent and you\u2019re doing legitimate counter intel, you don\u2019t make stuff up and submit it.<\/p>\n<p>And what Mudd says here, no. What he\u2019s supposed to do is gather investigation and then the Republicans or Democrats use it in a political ad. No ho-ho! Unless I\u2019m missing something here, this is an amazing admission. This is Phil Mudd, Never Trumper extraordinaire, admitting that the only thing Steele\u2019s stuff was to be used for was dirty political ads for Hillary Clinton. And he was a political opposition researcher!<\/p>\n<p>Well, excuse me. Yes, he was. But for two years you guys didn\u2019t portray him as that. He was legitimate intel. And you made the smartest man in TV, Don Lemon, believe that he was interested in legitimate intel. Man, I\u2019ll tell you, they are really fleeing now. And like our caller pointed out, Phil Mudd then went on to say, if they use this, if they use this dossier to get a FISA warrant to start spying on people, there is going to be hell to pay.<\/p>\n<p>What do you mean, if? Not only did they use it, they renewed it three times. Four times it was used. And people like Comey vouched for it to the FISA court and the FISA judge! What do you mean if? And Barr is gonna get to the bottom of this. I think Barr\u2019s farther along in this than anybody knows.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-299837\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-021419-Silent-Coup.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-021419-Silent-Coup.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-021419-Silent-Coup-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>The real question everybody asks me, &#8220;Do you think they\u2019re really gonna be, Rush, indictments? I just can\u2019t see Washington indicting these people. I don\u2019t care. I just can\u2019t see it.&#8221; I know you can\u2019t see it. It\u2019s hard to envision. But I think it\u2019s not just us, folks, that realize what a really &#8212; this is so worse than dangerous, what has been done here.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/join-rush-247\/\">Devin Nunes told me yesterday in the interview<\/a>, we\u2019ve got so much lying going on here under oath by people that have testified to various congressional and Senate committees. And there are legitimate penalties and punishments for that, as we all know.<\/p>\n<p>But Hillary Clinton got away with it. She got away with lying. She got away with everything, trafficking in classified data, having an illegal server, illegally raising money. I mean, she got away with it all. That\u2019s what Comey did on July 5th, 2016, when he exonerated her. So it\u2019s understandable that people would think everybody else is gonna get away with it. But I don\u2019t think they are. Whether anybody\u2019s going to jail, who the heck knows? I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>But I think Barr is on this case, end of his career, nothing to lose here really, no deleterious impact on his career future. This kind of stuff cannot be allowed to go on and unpunished and people not held accountable. But Nunes really did have a good question: When did and how did the crossover happen from all of these Hillary people to the FBI?<\/p>\n<p>At what point did the FBI intelligence community decide to take Hillary Clinton opposition research and turn it into a counterintelligence investigation for the purposes of destroying Donald Trump? First his campaign, then his presidency. Because the FBI was not originally part of the Hillary Clinton oppo research outfit. That was Glenn Simpson and whoever else she\u2019d hired to work on that.<\/p>\n<p>At some point, somebody &#8212; was it Comey? &#8212; somebody in the FBI had to accept that file and then make the decision that they were gonna treat it not as political opposition research, but a legitimate investigation of intelligence to find criminal activity on the part of the Donald Trump and the Russians. Hillary just wanted an opposition research document to be able to run ads or do whatever saying that had happened.<\/p>\n<p>But the FBI decided at some point to get in on it and make it official. And the FBI and all these people at that time are under the auspices of Barack Obama, folks. You want to talk about Russia collusion and why didn\u2019t Trump stop it. Why didn\u2019t Trump stop it? Why didn\u2019t Obama, if it was really happening, which it wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Another sign of the rats scurrying among all the other rats on the ship and trying to get off. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":311140,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
