RUSH: So now the Drive-By Media is saying the Democrat Party is fractured over impeachment after the Mueller testimony. Folks, they\u2019ve been fractured over impeachment for a long time. Pelosi has never wanted to impeach. The Squad and Nadler and Pencil Neck have. The Democrats haven\u2019t been united on this in a long time. The Mueller testimony yesterday,<\/a> there are a lot of questions I want to ask based on some media things that I\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\n

For example, CNN was asking all night and all day today if Mueller was the man for the job. Was Robert J. Mueller the man for the job? Has time passed him by? He had all kinds of chances to cream Trump yesterday and didn\u2019t do it! They just can\u2019t abide the fact that Mueller has a philosophy that prosecutors speak in court, and since there\u2019s nothing to take Trump to court over, there wasn\u2019t a whole lot to say.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then Politico: Democrats heard months ago that Mueller might not be up to testifying<\/a>. They did? What does all of this mean? Then I got an email, ladies and gentlemen, from a friend today. Like I said yesterday, there are some people feeling sorry for Mueller, and I really don\u2019t think you should be. Nobody made him do that yesterday.<\/p>\n

You might want to try to blame the Democrats and you might want to come along and say the Democrats knew that the guy was frail and not all there and they still — of course they did! They\u2019re the Democrats. They are mean people, folks. They are extremists, mean people. They will use anybody. They\u2019ve got no love for Robert Mueller when he ceases being useful to them.<\/p>\n

When he\u2019s useful, he\u2019s Mr. Honorable, Mr. Integrity. When he falters and doesn\u2019t give them what they want, then he\u2019s worthless and they cast him overboard.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re Democrats. They use people! They spit \u2019em up and throw \u2019em out. And that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s happening to Mueller today all over the Drive-By Media. In some places they\u2019re trying to say that Mueller scored even though he didn\u2019t. I mean, there\u2019s some people trying to save face.<\/p>\n

I got this email: “Dear Mr. Limbaugh: I could not hate the Democrats any more than I do today. I\u2019ve seen several people including I think like Senator Graham say they have known Mueller has been mentally feeble from the beginning of the investigation. If that is true, every single reporter inside the swamp knew it too. That this was never discussed anywhere by anyone is proof of the lows these people will go to. To embarrass that man so deeply for a political trick, are you kidding me?”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My friends, can we not forget the lives that Robert Mueller destroyed or oversaw being destroyed? Michael Flynn, life ruined. Manafort, charged with things that had nothing to do with any of this, charges that the DOJ refused to bring at the time Manafort was said to be committing the offenses. Carter Page? Carter Page, FISA warrants, spied on for a year, not charged, not mentioned, not referenced. George Papadopoulos. There are a lot of people who have been ruined in this investigation.<\/p>\n

Now, you might say, \u201cBut, Rush, we know now that Mueller wasn\u2019t doing it.\u201d Okay. Fine and dandy. I\u2019ll sign on to that. We\u2019ve known for a long time the Hillary Clinton-loving lawyers that Mueller hired. Mueller hired them. When Mueller ran the FBI, he let four people who were known to be innocent stay in jail 23 years. Did you know that, Brian?<\/p>\n

Robert J. Mueller III, whatever, let four people stay in jail in Boston, differing periods of time — the longest one was 23 years — knowing they were innocent so as not to expose fraudulent behavior by FBI agents. So please spare me the sympathy here. And even if you want to say, “Well, Rush, Mueller, it\u2019s obvious he wasn\u2019t running the investigation, he didn\u2019t go to any –” He hired these people and he oversaw this. You\u2019re gonna have to tell me now that Mueller didn\u2019t know any of this was going on if you\u2019re gonna start making me feel any kind of sympathy.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m having a tough time dredging up any sympathy for anybody that had anything to do with the past two and a half years folks, starting with Comey. By the way, where is Comey? Where is Comey, Clapper, Brennan? Where are they today? Why hasn\u2019t CNN trotted them out? Before the hearing yesterday Comey was telling everybody: We are going to see a real patriot today. We\u2019re going to see what patriotism really is today. That was his buildup to Mueller\u2019s testimony. Well, I don\u2019t know whatever else we saw, but it wasn\u2019t that.<\/p>\n

Now, the Democrats think it\u2019s beneath anybody\u2019s dignity to think that the Democrats would use somebody like Mueller if everybody knew he was doddering and mentally feeble and incapable. Let me tell you something, folks. The person that sent me the email\u2019s right about something here. If they knew it yesterday, they knew it beforehand. And if Lindsey Graham\u2019s out there saying now that everybody knew this, it means the media knew it. It means that everybody knew it and yet they didn\u2019t report it.<\/p>\n

The head honcho of the investigation, Mr. Honorable, Mr. Integrity, the guy leading it, now we\u2019re being told everybody knew the guy wasn\u2019t all there, everybody knew the guy has age and he\u2019s lost it a bit. Well, then what the hell was he doing running this thing? Why isn\u2019t that news? Why wasn\u2019t that reported? Well, we all know the answers to these questions. I\u2019m asking them rhetorically.<\/p>\n

This investigation, whoever ran it, whoever the figurehead was, destroyed lives, folks, on something that did not happen. Destroyed lives, process crimes. The only crimes charged here were crimes that were supposedly committed during the investigation: Michael Flynn, Carter Page. And this is a pattern, by the way. This is a pattern for Mueller and so forth.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are a lot… Like I said, talking about four innocent people that were kept in jail, one of them for 23 years in Boston. So, you know, I\u2019m just having a little bit of a hard time feeling sorry. The human thing may be to feel sorry. Okay, let me do this. I\u2019ll tell you. I\u2019ll go ahead and I\u2019ll feel sorry. But let\u2019s not forget what has gone on here just because it\u2019s over and the bottom-line verdict is “no harm done.” That\u2019s not true. There was all kinds of harm done, not the least of which was to this country, not the least of which was to the whole concept of the rule of law.<\/p>\n

There have been so many judicial principles turned upside down, such as this nonexistent judicial principle that somehow defendants get “exonerated.” They don\u2019t. It\u2019s not possible. I went through all of that yesterday. Remember that press conference Mueller had when he took no questions? He walked out there for eight minutes, prepared statement, looked befuddled he was reading from a statement — and even then was having trouble doing it, and now we know why.<\/p>\n

He couldn\u2019t have taken questions that day any better than he did yesterday. And then there was the attorney general, Barr. Barr was testifying at a Senate committee where he said that he was surprised to get that letter from Mueller. Remember after the report was submitted and Barr gives his interpretation of it (the president did not collude and there\u2019s not enough here to charge obstruction), supposedly Mueller sent him a letter saying he didn\u2019t quite agree with the characterization, with Barr\u2019s characterization.<\/p>\n

So Barr\u2019s testifying before the Senate and he said he was surprised to get that letter from Mueller when Mueller could have just picked up the phone and called him. Barr said he called “Bob.” They\u2019re friends. He doesn\u2019t call him “Robert J. Mueller III, esq., Dean and Mr. Integrity of the Swamp.” He just calls him “Bob.” Barr said he called Bob and said, “What\u2019s with the letter? Why not just call me?” Well, I can tell you right now that Mueller didn\u2019t write the letter.<\/p>\n

Weissmann did and Mueller signed it. That\u2019s why. They wanted to have it memorialized rather than have a phone call between friends. Mueller was unfamiliar with so much of this investigation. He\u2019s unfamiliar with so much that\u2019s in the report. How anybody can look at this as anything other than embarrassing is beyond me.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here is Diane in Prescott, Arizona. Welcome. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. I\u2019m so \u2013 (coughing) excuse me. I am so \u2013 (coughing) excuse me again.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You gotta cough out there or are you crying in eagerness and happiness?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I should be crying for the last two years. I don\u2019t feel sorry for Mueller and I don\u2019t feel sorry for any Democrat, even my own demented Democrat daughter. Okay. They have mentally tortured me for the last two and a half years, and I want some payback. When this finally goes to court and guilty sentences are handed down, I want them penalized for what they have done to me and the people of this nation, \u2019cause we\u2019ve had it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: How old is your demented Democrat daughter?<\/p>\n

CALLER: She is nearly 40.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, my.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. Sad, sad, sad.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I hope you don\u2019t feel like a failure as a parent because of that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have wondered if I gave her too much of a free rein, too much this, not enough that. You wonder —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Nah, it doesn\u2019t sound like it was you who corrupted her. It doesn\u2019t sound like that could possibly be the case. It sounds like she got corrupted elsewhere.<\/p>\n

CALLER: She works for the school district.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well \u2013 (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: That says a lot, right?<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Anyway, she\u2019s 40, she\u2019s on her own, it\u2019s her life, she\u2019s your demented daughter, and there\u2019s nothing you can do about it. You have your own life to live now and control. And you love her and you deal with her as best you can. I understand your desire for payback here. A lot of people feel and are thinking the same way, that there\u2019s gotta be a price paid for what they almost did here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: A big price. This is horrible, really, if you think about the whole thing all put together. And the time they\u2019ve taken away from us.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s another aspect of this. You know, people say, “Hey, Rush, it\u2019s not that big a deal. They didn\u2019t get rid of Trump.” Can you imagine what Trump would have done without this? His approval numbers would have been north of 50% for the entire administration. Half of the tweets that he wrote would not have been written. He would have had far earlier implementation of his agenda. We might have a border wall under construction.<\/p>\n

They have succeeded in keeping Trump\u2019s approval number in their own polls under 50, and they have succeeded in slowing down the implementation of his agenda. And they have succeeded in convincing some people that he was a traitor! So to say that they didn\u2019t succeed is erroneous. And it is why they need to pay a price. You\u2019re not alone on that, Diane. There\u2019s a lot of people in your camp on that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
