This is just a leaker who followed procedures that have been established to give whistleblowers protection.<\/p>\n<p>The whole thing is a sham. It\u2019s nothing more than the Steele dossier 2.0, as I have been saying all week. A couple people now have come to this conclusion. It\u2019s the same people, it\u2019s the same scam, it\u2019s the same objective, and I\u2019m gonna add a name to potential Democrat presidential nominees coming up soon.<\/p>\n<p>JOHNNY DONOVAN: And now, from sunny South Florida, it\u2019s Open Line Friday!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-307934\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-032818-RUSH-Anchorman.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-032818-RUSH-Anchorman.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-032818-RUSH-Anchorman-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Bottom line, there isn\u2019t anything really new here. This is just the next phase of &#8220;Get Trump.&#8221; This is the next phase of the operation to overturn the election results of 2016. It\u2019s the same players, it\u2019s the same technique, it\u2019s the same play. The whistleblower report, it was probably prepared with the assistance of House Intelligence Committee staffers.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing about this is genuine. There\u2019s no real whistleblower who\u2019s terribly alarmed and upset over what Trump said in a phone call. The whistleblower didn\u2019t even hear it. It\u2019s just the next phase. It\u2019s the same play run to the different side of the line. Let\u2019s put it that way. And the whistleblower report is the Steele dossier all over again. Some people think that it is the same technique with Christine Blasey Ford. But that whole thing was an extension of the original play.<\/p>\n<p>What is this really all about? What is this really, really all about? It\u2019s all about overturning the election results of 2016. Why is that so important? It goes beyond just the fact that the deep state lost. I think what it\u2019s about is what I have long thought it\u2019s about. It\u2019s about making sure the American people do not learn the extent of the corruption in the Obama administration and the Democrat Party at large, and particularly among these people in the deep state who did what they did to deny Trump his election victory.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s why Pelosi\u2019s out there today saying that Bill Barr has gone rogue. If you need any evidence that they scared to death of what Barr and his team are investigating as to the origins of all of this, Pelosi out of the blue saying that Barr has gone rogue, they are doing everything they can to destroy everybody on the other side of this.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing that\u2019s true. You know what really is hard about this is that we\u2019re dealing with nothing but a series of abject lies. Everybody on the left is lying. Every allegation about this is a lie. Trump hasn\u2019t broken any laws. Trump has not engaged in any corruption. In fact, Trump is the most investigated president in the history of the country, and they still haven\u2019t found a crime! They\u2019re still looking for a crime. They haven\u2019t found a crime, so they\u2019re making things up.<\/p>\n<p>The media is not media. It\u2019s just Democrats who work in the media, and the whole group of \u2019em is aligned. And what we are in the middle of now, folks, is a Cold Civil War. It has begun. It is a Cold Civil War as opposed to hot. There\u2019s no hostilities declared. There\u2019s no two clear sides of this. And certainly no shots have been fired. But nevertheless we\u2019re in the midst of a Cold Civil War, and it encompasses a lot of things.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-323359\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-092619-LIES-Schiff.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-092619-LIES-Schiff.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-092619-LIES-Schiff-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It encompasses overturn the election results of 2016, it is about protecting and defending the deep state, the Washington establishment going forward. Their careers, their fortunes, their corruption. There are terribly big stakes involved here for these people. And Trump is on the cusp of overturning it and exposing it. They cannot allow that to happen.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019ve had a number of people mention this to me as well, so this is not an original thought of mine. But as I\u2019ve thought about it, it makes perfect sense.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: On this whistleblower story, there isn\u2019t a whistleblower! Just like there wasn\u2019t a dossier. Not a real one. It was manufactured political opposition research. This whistleblower report is manufactured political opposition research. The lies are impossible to keep up with. Eric Swalwell was on Fox this morning saying, &#8220;Well, the president\u2019s confessed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Confessed? What\u2019s the president confessed to?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, he\u2019s confessed to trying to hide the information in the whistleblower report!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The president hasn\u2019t confessed. What did Adam Schiff do yesterday? Adam Schiff goes up as the chairman of the committee and says that the president called the president of Ukraine and ordered him, &#8220;Dig up dirt, lots of it &#8212; and don\u2019t call me back until you get it &#8212; on Joe Biden.&#8221; That didn\u2019t happen. Trump hasn\u2019t done anything they are accusing him of doing. Swalwell, after saying that Trump had confessed, then pointed out that, &#8220;Well, look what Trump did. Trump took the transcript of the phone call and he put it over here in this secure area.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He\u2019s clearly hiding it. That\u2019s a political move. The president\u2019s ashamed. It\u2019s the same as confessing that he\u2019s guilty. We must move forward with impeachment.&#8221; There\u2019s no confession! Trump has confessed to nothing. Trump hasn\u2019t done anything! Trump has committed no impeachable offense. He has committed no illegal act. They didn\u2019t find a single thing! Yet they lie through their teeth. This sequestering of the transcript of the call into a private, secure area? Let\u2019s call it &#8220;the secure enclave&#8221; just to be different. Do you know they\u2019ve been doing that for two years?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not tied to this transcript. It has nothing to do with this call. And do you know why transcripts and other records of presidential conversations involving Trump are sent over to the secure enclave? Because they\u2019ve got a leak problem! Because they\u2019ve got some deep state, administrative state traitors in there who were opposed to Trump, who are leaking like sieves, and so they\u2019re sequestering this stuff for the sake of national security!<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re not hiding it for political reasons! They\u2019re trying to protect it! They\u2019re trying to protect the integrity of presidential conversations and everything that they entail. But here\u2019s Eric Swalwell today lying through his teeth saying, &#8220;Trump has confessed.&#8221; &#8220;The attorney general, Bill Barr, has gone rogue. We must speed up the impeachment process.&#8221; There is no whistleblower. There was no legitimate Steele dossier.<\/p>\n<p>All we have is a deep state leaker probably related in some way to John Brennan. The New York Times already outed the guy as a disgruntled CIA person, and the guy simply leaks a bunch of stuff, has his report written with the assistance of staffers on the Democrat side on the House Intelligence Committee, and calls himself a &#8220;whistleblower&#8221; for the protections that it offers! You watch. Every other future leak of major consequence like this is all of a sudden gonna be called &#8220;whistleblower&#8221; because of the statutory protections that are granted to whistleblowers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-300305\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-021919-The-DEEP-STATE.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-021919-The-DEEP-STATE.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-021919-The-DEEP-STATE-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t emphasize enough that there isn\u2019t anything real about any of this like there wasn\u2019t anything real in Trump-Russia collusion. Let me clarify. There was a lot real in Trump-Russia collusion, but it was all the things committed by Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Obama, McCabe, Strzok Smirk, and that whole cast of characters. That was real. That effort to undermine Trump &#8212; to spy on Trump, to get the election result overturned &#8212; all of that stuff was real.<\/p>\n<p>The things they were alleging Trump did, none of it happened. They\u2019re still lying about the Mueller report. Democrats are out there saying the Mueller report proves that Trump colluded, 16 different times now. No, it doesn\u2019t. It doesn\u2019t say that at all. The Mueller report concludes that there wasn\u2019t any collusion between Trump and Russia. But the Mueller report was written as a pre-impeachment document anyway. The Mueller report was written to be used as it is.<\/p>\n<p>It was written with all the footnotes and the careful sentence structure to be able to be cited the way the Democrats are citing it. &#8220;Robert Mueller found collusion 16 different times!&#8221; No, he didn\u2019t. &#8220;Well, right there it is: The president probably&#8230; The president might have this and that&#8230; Somebody here said&#8230;&#8221; It\u2019s nothing but hearsay. There\u2019s nothing. But the sheer power of the ruling class is what is on display here, and their literal panic and fright over having it all upended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: It&#039;s the same people, it&#039;s the same scam, it&#039;s the same objective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":295141,"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 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>There Is No Whistleblower, Just a Leaker!
