RUSH: Here\u2019s President Trump. Stand by if you\u2019re on the phones. We\u2019re coming to you. This morning outside the White House on his way to the helicopter to fly over to Walter Reed, a male reporter said, “This letter that you\u2019re gonna send to Pelosi, what does it say?”<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: We\u2019ll be issuing a letter. As everybody knows, we\u2019ve been treated very unfairly, very different from anybody else. Everything, to me, is about corruption. We want to find out what happened with 2016. And as you know, there\u2019s a lot of work going on about that. I don\u2019t care about Biden\u2019s campaign, but I do care about corruption. His campaign, that\u2019s up to him. Politics, that\u2019s up to them. I don\u2019t care about politics. I believe there was tremendous corruption with Biden, but I think there was beyond — I mean, beyond corruption — having to do with the 2016 campaign, and what these lowlifes did to so many people to hurt so many people in the Trump campaign.<\/p>\n
RUSH: See, this is what it\u2019s all about, I\u2019m telling you. This is all about providing a foundation for the investigation that Barr is doing. Barr is out there. He\u2019s been to Italy. He\u2019s been to Ukraine. He\u2019s going a lot of places where the seeds for the anti-Trump investigation began, trying to prepare all of the details for everybody. And Trump has been asking Ukraine to… That\u2019s what the phone call to the Ukrainian president was really about.<\/p>\n

Here Trump is telling everybody again (translated), “I\u2019m not trying to dig up dirt for my political opponent. That\u2019s not why I\u2019m doing this. We gotta root out corruption.” Donald Trump feels that the entire Russia collusion investigation was the epitome of corruption and that he was the victim of it, and he\u2019s right. They ran a coup! They ran an operation to reverse the election results. You know the drill on this by now. Trump wants to get to the bottom of it.<\/p>\n
So he\u2019s focusing on rooting out corruption. The very people complaining that Trump is trying to involve foreign leaders in this… Trump is trying to get to the bottom of which foreign leaders were used by the Democrats, the FBI and the DOJ, to undermine him! That\u2019s what this is about. Another reporter said, “Is anyone advising you that it\u2019s all right to solicit the help of other governments to investigate a political opponent?”<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: There was… In the 2016 campaign, there was tremendous corruption against me. If we feel there\u2019s corruption, we have a right to go to a foreign country — and just so you know…<\/p>\n
REPORTER (shouting)<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: Just so you know, I was investigated. I was investigated, okay? Me. Me, in my campaign. I ran, I won, I was investigated. You won\u2019t is that I, will you? I was investigated. I was investigated, and they think it could have been by U.K., they think it could have been by Australia, they think it could have been by Italy. So when you get down to it —<\/p>\n
REPORTER: (shouting)<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: I was investigated by the Obama administration.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Exactly right! Make no mistake what this is. He\u2019s trying to root out every bit of this corruption, most of it that was aimed at this coup that was run against him. Another reporter: “Would you be more willing to do a trade deal with the Chinese if they were to investigate Biden?”<\/p>\n
