Hillary Obtained Political Dirt from Foreign Sources!"},"content":{"rendered":"

RUSH: Hillary paid for the dossier. Folks, there\u2019s a story in The Stack<\/a> today, I went back and got it. Hillary was on Comedy Central in November of 2017 talking about the dossier and how the information came to her.<\/p>\n

Here it is. “Flashback: Hillary Endorsed Obtaining Political Dirt from Foreign Sources<\/a>.” This is a story by Dan Bongino. She was on The Daily Show. November 2017, the Washington Times had the story. Clinton appeared on The Daily Show. She was asked about the dossier, which has been sourced to her and Kremlin, Russian intelligence.<\/p>\n

\"\"And Hillary said, “Well, you know” — she says “you know” a lot. By the way, that\u2019s a pet peeve of mine. There are a couple people I watch regularly who drive me away because they begin every sentence with “you know.” I\u2019m not gonna name names. It becomes a habit after a while.<\/p>\n

People are thinking what they want to say and they say, “you know,” “and then, you know,” so I studiously try to avoid it but Hillary\u2019s one of these people “and you know, and you know, ha-ha-ha-ha.” Then broadbeam cackle laugh and then “you know” again.<\/p>\n

Here she is. She says, “It\u2019s part of what happens in a campaign where you get information that may or may not be useful and you try make sure anything you put out in public arena is accurate. So this thing didn\u2019t come out until after the election and its\u2019 still being evaluated.”<\/p>\n

This is Hillary talking about the dossier that she commissioned, that she and the DNC paid for, and this all part of the illusion. Well, this thing didn\u2019t come out \u2019til after the election and it\u2019s still being evaluated. Now, remember this is November 17. This is after Trump — well, I actually don\u2019t know if it\u2019s after he won the election because the exact date here as is typical for modern journalism is not given. The reason I\u2019m suspicious of it — wait a minute — yeah. It\u2019s after the election because of her quote.<\/p>\n

Okay. So November 2017, the dossier was first introduced to Trump in January of 2017. And she\u2019s out there after it has been used and the Mueller report, it\u2019s still being evaluated. She\u2019s lying through her teeth! There was never any truth in it! It\u2019s part of what happens in a campaign where you get information that may or not be useful.<\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t call the FBI. She didn\u2019t call law enforcement. In fact, they were all working on it together. The FBI ended up using it to get FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign. This is why this story literally has me about to burst with anger, because everything in this that the Democrats are upset about, Trump has not done. He hasn\u2019t done any of this. He did not accept information from a foreign source.<\/p>\n

She did. She sought it. She paid for it. The FBI, James Comey, Clapper, Brennan, McCabe, they all used it to try to destroy Trump. And it\u2019s filled with foreign information, verified by foreign agents, like Mifsud and Halper. Then you\u2019ve got Alexander Downer, the ambassador from Australia character mixed into this. Everything that everybody in the media\u2019s having a cow over, Trump has not done!<\/p>\n

So he says, “Yeah, well, if I got some stuff from some bad actors, yeah I\u2019d look at it.” “He\u2019s unqualified, this guy is unfit for office.” Meanwhile, over here all of this stuff that these people have this phony outrage building up about is stuff that literally happened and is still happening. It\u2019s ongoing. Because Adam Schiff is using it as they have kick started the Mueller investigation in Schiff\u2019s committee!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They\u2019re bringing the same witnesses in. They\u2019re doing the same thing. They\u2019re continuing to look for collusion because Schiff is convinced it\u2019s there, that Mueller missed it. So they\u2019re relying still on foreign sources in the U.S. House of Representatives! They\u2019re relying on Steele. They\u2019re relying on the Russian agents he spoke to because the dossier is all they have ever had.<\/p>\n

So while they get on Trump for being unfit, for saying he would accept information, dirt on his opponents, these people manufactured the dirt, paid for the dirt, and are still using the dirt!<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Davis Staples, Staples Brothers, Staples Dad, Staples Sisters. If you\u2019re ready, come go with me. Great to have you.<\/p>\n

Here is Tony in Appleton, Wisconsin, it\u2019s great… This is where visiting teams stay when they go in to play the Packers: Appleton, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (chuckles) That\u2019s correct, and —<\/p>\n

RUSH: How are you doing, sir?<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s correct, and what a pleasure to talk to you today, Rush. I just want you to know that I get my news from three places now: Fox News, you, and Sean Hannity.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Those are the only ones I trust anymore.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019m glad to hear that, sir. You can\u2019t go wrong with that. I\u2019m not joking. You\u2019re not gonna be purposely lied to or misled, and you\u2019re gonna know more about what the Democrats are doing — truthful and honestly — than if you watch CNN or the New York Times.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s true. That\u2019s very true. I have two points of frustration I\u2019d like to air today, if I could. One is with Senator Lindsey Graham. When he first took over the Judiciary Committee, all he talked about was all of these participants in this coup. He was gonna drag \u2019em in front of his committee. He\u2019s been in charge for almost six months now and he\u2019s done nothing. All he does is go on Fox News and talk about the things he\u2019s gonna do, and he does absolutely nothing. Time to replace him there. My other point of frustration is this Andrew McCabe. We knew over a year ago that this guy had lied to the FBI, and yet there\u2019s no indictment. Now we\u2019re hearing people like Victor Davis Hanson say this is gonna go \u2019til 2020<\/a>. I don\u2019t understand this at all, and that\u2019s another point of frustration.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, you want to get really ticked off? Grab sound bite number 9. I\u2019ve got this clown, McCabe. He was on CNN (of course) and Fredo Prime Time last night. Stick on the phone here with me, Tony. I want to get your reaction to this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: So Fredo is talking to McCabe, who\u2019s still out there selling a book. This guy was fired from the FBI! Justifiably. This guy was in charge of running this coup with Strzok Smirk. He was their boss. He was fully aware of the effort in this coup to overturn a duly constituted election. So Fredo says to him last night, “Do you think that the arguments that, ‘Okay, you shouldn\u2019t have Russians giving you anything, and also you shouldn\u2019t have been paying Russians information to amass a dossier the way Clinton did…\u2019 Do you see these as…?”<\/p>\n

So you see what Fredo\u2019s doing? He\u2019s trying to equate the two! And for the first time, they actually admit that the Clinton campaign paid for the dossier. Now, the Washington Post originally reported that. That was originally a Washington Post story. The Drive-Bys never picked it up; they never ran with it. They just got it on record. Here\u2019s Fredo referencing it and trying now to get McCabe, of all people, to draw an analogy between the two!<\/p>\n

So his question is: “Do you think the argument that you shouldn\u2019t have Russians giving you anything and you shouldn\u2019t have been paying Russians for information the way Clinton did, do you see these as…” He says “analogs” here. He means “analogous.” Poor Fredo doesn\u2019t really know what…<\/p>\n

\"\"MCCABE: There\u2019s no equivalence between those two examples.<\/p>\n

FREDO: (snickering)<\/p>\n

MCCABE: To openly invite foreign intelligence officers, representatives from a hostile foreign government to steal information, to acquire opposition research in any way — in any illegal way — that they might do that and to present it to you is one thing. For a campaign to hire a law firm, an American law firm, who then turns around and hires an American research company, who then contracts out with a foreign individual, that is not illegal. Campaigns are allowed to hire individuals, foreign individuals and to pay those individuals for the services that they provide.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Did you hear that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: (silence)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Our caller is gone. Did you hear that? Let me run this by you. Folks, did you hear how he described the Steele dossier? To say that that\u2019s not nearly as bad as on Trump saying that he would accept foreign dirt? He said, “For a campaign to hire a law firm, an American law firm, who then turns around and hires an American research company, who then contracts out with a foreign individual, that\u2019s not illegal.” He\u2019s just described Hillary hiring Fusion GPS, which then hires Perkins Coie, which then hired Steele. He says, “That\u2019s not illegal.<\/p>\n

“Campaigns are allowed to hire people. They\u2019re allowed to hire foreign individuals. They\u2019re allowed to pay those individuals for the services they provide.” He doesn\u2019t even address the fact that that phony collection of garbage was then used and misrepresented as legitimate intelligence! He is acknowledging that it\u2019s perfectly legal to write up a bunch of lies, call it “opposition research” privately, but then publicly tell everybody it\u2019s “counterintelligence” that you gathered — and then use it to spy on the opposing campaign.<\/p>\n

This is what this snake is saying! “For a campaign to hire a law firm, an American the law firm, that then turns…” He is admitting it. This is their cover story. This is, “Oh, yeah, we knew about the dossier. It\u2019s totally political. There\u2019s no crime here. Hillary can hire who she wants, she can pay who she wants, she can hire foreign individuals. They can create documents, services, and so forth. That\u2019s perfectly fine.” Yeah, well, you take that collection of garbage, that absolute drivel, and then you run and get spy warrants based off of it, when you full-well know that it\u2019s opposition research.<\/p>\n

Now he\u2019s got the gall to say, “There\u2019s nothing problematic about that, but when you say that you would accept dirt on a political opponent from a foreign source…” In other words, it\u2019s perfectly fine to go pay for it. But somebody offers it to you for nothing; you are the bad guy, if you would accept it. But if you\u2019re gonna go out and arrange it, pay for it — even if it\u2019s a foreigner that you\u2019re paying and a foreign agent — that\u2019s perfectly fine. So he\u2019s telling us how they planned all along to excuse the dossier and claim, “There\u2019s nothing to see here!”<\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t acknowledge they used it, misused it. This guy is such a snake. This is just — and why in the world Trump would want to turn anything over to these people, as our previous caller said, is exactly right! He says, “There\u2019s no equivalence between what Trump did and what Hillary did. To openly invite foreign intelligence officers from a hostile foreign government to steal information to acquire opposition research.” That\u2019s not what Trump did!<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t invite anybody to steal anything!<\/p>\n

He said, “If they called, I\u2019d listen to them.”<\/p>\n

Listen to how McCabe is mischaracterizing this. He\u2019s now saying, “Just like Trump was asking the Russians to hack Hillary\u2019s computer…”<\/p>\n

He\u2019s now saying (translated), “Trump was asking foreign agents, who are enemies, to give him information on Democrat opponents — and that is unacceptable. But if somebody wants to go hire somebody like Steele and pay for it through an American law firm and write a bunch of garbage that we then take to the FISA court? Why, that\u2019s perfectly legal.” (big sigh) If these people get away with this in the end — and about his other point, Victor Davis Hanson was on Laura Ingraham last night. I don\u2019t have time to get the bite… Well, I do. Grab sound bite number 19. Her question was, “What\u2019s gonna dominate the 2020 election news, Victor?”<\/p>\n
