And according to a record of his remarks obtained by The Federalist, he said, &#8220;&#8216;I want to be clear, I was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed.\u2019 Morrison testified that Ukrainian officials were not even aware that certain military funding had been delayed by the Trump administration until late August 2019 &#8211;\u201d This call is in July. \u201c&#8211;more than a month after the Trump-Zelensky call, casting doubt on allegations that Trump somehow conveyed an illegal quid pro quo demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There couldn\u2019t have been because they got the money! Ukraine got the money, and Trump didn\u2019t get any dirt on Biden and his kid! \u201cHow do you know, Rush?\u201d &#8216;Cause I guaran-damn-tee you we would know if the Ukrainians had actually dug up dirt like Adam Schiff lied through his stinking Democrat teeth and said that Trump told this guy to make it up, dig it up. If that had happened, we\u2019d have found out about it.<\/p>\n<p>Trump did not get his investigation into Biden. Ukraine did get its money. It\u2019s Obama that withheld the money from Ukraine, according to U.S. treaty, in violation of it. But there\u2019s more. Tim Morrison, in his testimony today, the national security official, said that Bill Taylor, who is the star of Schiff\u2019s show to date, Bill Taylor, William Taylor, another decorated veteran, folks, decorated, can\u2019t assail him, can\u2019t criticize him, can\u2019t challenge him &#8212; Democrats don\u2019t even like military people.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/10\/31\/nsc-official-tim-morrison-to-schiff-i-was-not-concerned-that-anything-illegal-was-discussed-in-trump-ukraine-phone-call\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-327214\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-FEDERALIST-TEARAWAY-103119.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-FEDERALIST-TEARAWAY-103119.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-FEDERALIST-TEARAWAY-103119-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>Tim Morrison testified that Bill Taylor made multiple false assertions in his own testimony and there was nothing illegal about the phone call. Can I share with you the timing? This is why I think standard operating procedure for every Republican and every conservative media person, every White House official in that town ought to be whenever we get one of these out of the blue allegations of what Donald Trump did, just don\u2019t believe it! Immediately categorize it as another lie in a never-ending series of them beginning with Trump-Russia collusion, because that\u2019s what these are.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m having a tough time containing myself here. I am far more reserved than I feel. I am bursting with rage over this. I\u2019ve been following this Democrat plan for 30 years! Ted Kennedy with those allegations about Robert Bork. Then this stupid, insulting, near disastrous thing they tried to do to Clarence Thomas. It\u2019s how they do things. They destroy us. They don\u2019t and can\u2019t beat us in the arena of ideas. They don\u2019t even try.<\/p>\n<p>They get people that they then claim have impeccable reputations, because of their labels, not their personalities. Vindman wears the uniform. You can\u2019t disagree. Vindman served in the Army. You can\u2019t disagree. Vindman was in the National Security Council, Ukraine expert, you can\u2019t disagree.<\/p>\n<p>Why can\u2019t we? If he\u2019s one of your tools, why can\u2019t we? If he\u2019s a surrogate for you, Mr. Schiff, or you, Ms. Pelosi, why can\u2019t we disagree? Why can\u2019t we be suspect? Intelligence guided by experience would tell us to doubt everything you say, particularly about all these outrageous things Donald Trump has done when you haven\u2019t been able to prove a single one of them! Sorry. I\u2019ll dial it back here.<\/p>\n<p>So the timing. Bill Taylor, star witness, whistleblower! Big nothing about a phone call! We had an impeachment inquiry, official vote today on the same day a National Security Council senior official totally contradicted everything Schiff and Pelosi are acting on. Do you think if Morrison\u2019s testimony happened yesterday, for example, it would have changed what happened today on the vote?<\/p>\n<p>Stop and think of this. These people lurched headlong into this on the basis of the whistleblower and Bill Taylor and we had a witness to a Democrat committee this morning contradict them. Now, what are they gonna do, dump all over this NCSC guy, Tim Morrison, he\u2019s never worn a uniform, we distrust him? How are they gonna discredit him? He\u2019s a Trump partisan.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the whistleblower? A Brennan partisan, an Obama partisan, a Schiff partisan! He\u2019s a fired, disgruntled leaker. He represents the political enemy of Donald Trump, the administration. You ought to automatically believe him and discount everything anybody else says.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-323651\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-093019-SWAMP-Lies.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-093019-SWAMP-Lies.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-093019-SWAMP-Lies-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>That\u2019s why, folks, I literally cringe every time one of these things comes up and the Republicans immediately bite on it. The Never Trumpers bite on it, everybody bites, &#8220;Oh, my God. Oh, this might be the one. This might be the one.&#8221; As though everybody is just waiting, Trump\u2019s done something, we know he\u2019s done something, and eventually the Democrats are gonna figure it out.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats have nothing to figure out. They\u2019re making it up. It is fully, wholly manufactured. We know it from Comey, from Baker, from Bruce Ohr, from Strzok Page. We know it from McCabe, it\u2019s all made up. It\u2019s all manufactured! We know the Papadopoulos story. It\u2019s all made up! There is nothing about any of these allegations about Trump that are legitimate. And I, for one, am tired of everybody reacting to these as though there is legitimacy.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I understand the need to reject on the substance, but there isn\u2019t any substance. It\u2019s a bunch of lies! \u201cBut Rush, that would mean going against the media.\u201d Yeah, I know the drill. I know. Nobody wants to go against the media. Can\u2019t beat the media. Sorry. I don\u2019t subscribe to that.<\/p>\n<p>Now, one other observation here &#8212; and it was something that I\u2019ve alluded to earlier about the Democrats are so immersed in this that they couldn\u2019t care less about the American people. They couldn\u2019t care less &#8212; for the next year &#8212; about the status of health care, prescription drug prices, anything. Education? Open border? Couldn\u2019t care less.\u00a0 They broomed it all.\u00a0 They set it all aside.\u00a0 &#8220;Gonna get Trump!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I want to repeat something here \u2019cause I think it\u2019s&#8230; I\u2019m not gonna call it bombshell, but I think it\u2019s still really important.\u00a0 There was a hearing on Capitol Hill today in the House along the lines of this impeachment business, and there was a new witness named Tim Morrison.\u00a0 Tim Morrison is a top national security official, and he listened to Trump\u2019s phone call with the Ukrainian president.\u00a0 He testified today, &#8220;I want to be clear.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t concerned with anything illegal being discussed on that phone call.\u00a0 There wasn\u2019t anything illegal discussed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He testified Ukrainian officials were not even aware that certain military funding had been delayed by the Trump administration until late August 2019. So all this talk about Trump threatening to withhold aid was bogus. It didn\u2019t happen. There was nothing untoward whatsoever. And he specifically said today that Bill Taylor, William Taylor, who\u2019s the Democrats\u2019 star witness so far, made multiple false assertions and that there was nothing illegal about that phone call at all.<\/p>\n<p>That testimony is on record. That testimony happens on the very day the Democrats are doing this vote that officially authorizes what they\u2019ve already been doing. This is another point to make. This vote does not change anything, folks. Do not fall for the illusion. Now, and also, don\u2019t misunderstand something else. Don\u2019t anybody think that I\u2019m not taking this seriously. Don\u2019t make that mistake. I\u2019m just telling you to keep things in perspective. And never forget that you are being manipulated into believing a gigantic illusion is reality.<\/p>\n<p>This vote today changes nothing. Schiff is gonna keep doing what he\u2019s been doing, and he\u2019s gonna keep doing it the way he\u2019s been doing it. All this vote does today is satisfy a bunch of media and left-wing radicals demanding that something be done. They\u2019re tired of it being said this is not really an impeachment. And it isn\u2019t yet. This formalizes the inquiry. Another way of looking at it, this formalizes the impaneling of a grand jury.<\/p>\n<p>But it is not going to be the case that what\u2019s happening here is the preparation and writing of articles of impeachment. That\u2019s yet to happen. It may or may not happen by Christmas. But even Pelosi and Steny Hoyer himself are saying that nothing fundamentally changes here. But you\u2019ll never know that if you immerse yourself in network TV. And I don\u2019t care what network it is, it doesn\u2019t matter. They\u2019re all acting like something major, something unprecedented has happened today. And it hasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday we had the news of the rules and the procedures that Schiff and his committee are going to utilize. Well, today was a vote on those things. And they\u2019ve already been in place. They\u2019re already being used. The Republicans are responding as though it\u2019s something big. They\u2019re responding, &#8220;Well, now we\u2019ve officially been shut out of the process with the vote.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But it is not a vote yet that moves actual impeachment to the next phase. That hasn\u2019t happened yet. But it doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not going to. I think they\u2019re committed &#8212; I don\u2019t know how they walk it back. But my point to you is, I guess the way to say it, Donald Trump is no closer to being thrown out of office today than he was yesterday. And I don\u2019t know that he\u2019s close at all to being thrown out of office.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not sloughing this off. I\u2019m just telling you, it\u2019s a game. It\u2019s a game that if they play it out has very serious consequences. And I think that it is they, the Democrats, who face more negative potential than the Republicans do or than Trump does. There are three things that can happen here, and two of them are not helpful to the Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>This can stall. This can go forward and lead to an acquittal in the Senate. Or they can come up with something that scares everybody so much that they get 20 Senators on the Republican side in the Senate to vote for conviction. Now, they pulled the trigger on this and they\u2019ve got everything thinking we\u2019re on the train now, the impeachment train has left the station and we\u2019re all on it. Now they\u2019ve gotta produce something. They gotta come up with something to convince people that Trump needs to go. And they don\u2019t have that yet.<\/p>\n<p>And I want you to think about this. There\u2019s been a bunch of witnesses paraded up there before Schiff\u2019s committee. All of these witnesses have had one thing to offer, and that is their opinion. &#8220;In my opinion, that phone call that Trump made was outrageous. In my opinion, that phone call that Trump made contained impeachable offenses. In my opinion, Trump\u2019s a reprobate. In my opinion, Trump\u2019s not sophisticated enough to make such phone calls. In my opinion, President Trump was asking Ukraine to dig up dirt on the valid Joe Biden. In my opinion. In my opinion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-326934\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102919-Bill-Taylor-Alexander-Vindman.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102919-Bill-Taylor-Alexander-Vindman.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102919-Bill-Taylor-Alexander-Vindman-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>There hasn\u2019t been a single fact produced. Not a fact that could be included in an indictment. You\u2019ve just got a bunch of people like Vindman and Bill Taylor whose opinions we\u2019re being told we cannot challenge or doubt. Why? Well, because they\u2019re decorated military heroes, uh, went to West Point, uh, wear the uniform of the Army to this day, uh, decorated diplomat.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, you\u2019ve given us resumes, and you\u2019ve told us we can\u2019t challenge these people because of their labels, because of their breeding, because of their experience, because of their appearance, but you haven\u2019t told us one fact that they have given you. You\u2019ve told us whatever Bill Taylor thinks is gospel because we can\u2019t challenge Bill Taylor. And you\u2019ve told us that whatever Vindman thinks we can\u2019t challenge because Vindman is unassailable because of all these labels and uniforms and resumes.<\/p>\n<p>Opinion isn\u2019t going to cut it. Now we\u2019ve got a contravailing opinion from Tim Morris: I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything bad about that phone call. I listened to that phone call, in fact, I can tell you that Bill Taylor said a bunch of things about that phone call that are not true. I was on the phone call. I heard it. There was nothing illegal about that phone call.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats will say, &#8220;Well, that\u2019s just his opinion.&#8221; All we\u2019ve got is anybody\u2019s opinion, so far. The Democrats don\u2019t have diddly-squat. They haven\u2019t had diddly-squat since the Russia collusion stuff began.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I need to point something else out too. When I talk about Tim Morrison, the fact of the matter is, folks, the Democrats only have two witnesses about that phone call, Vindman and Bill Taylor. The whistleblower if you want to count him, but he didn\u2019t hear it. And both of these people have nothing but their opinion, Vindman and Bill Taylor. They\u2019re the only two witnesses who said there was anything wrong in that call! And it\u2019s their opinion that there was something wrong in the call.<\/p>\n<p>Now we gotta a witness, \u201cNo, there was nothing. I was on the call. I heard it. There was nothing illegal about it.\u201d And we\u2019ve got the transcript of the call. That\u2019s what makes this all the more incredible. We\u2019ve got the transcript of the call. We don\u2019t need Taylor or Vindman\u2019s opinion of it. It\u2019s right there in the transcript!<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s Tony in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Great to have you with us, sir, on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks. You know, you should be able to have on your roster of sound bites Tim Morrison\u2019s testimony, not from Adam Schiff\u2019s closed door stuff going on, but from what Lindsey Graham or what Richard Burr should be doing in the respective committees by having him testify publicly along with all of these other witnesses there are going behind closed doors that Schiff has and those witnesses that he refuses to have. If all of this was out in the open, we would be able to have sound bites that the Democrats would have to be fighting against instead of just putting out leaks &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, look. You raise a really valid point, but the reason that &#8212; by the way, Burr doesn\u2019t run his committee. Mark Warner does. I know that the Republicans run the Senate, but Burr has turned that committee over to Warner for all practical purposes. Whether he knows it or not, he\u2019s not running the committee. But since this is, quote, unquote, impeachment, only the House can do that. And so it would be very, very bad form for Senator Grahamnesty to open a committee hearing and bring in the same witnesses.<\/p>\n<p>There would be hell to pay for the Senate trying to undermine a constitutionally provided exclusive power to the House of Representatives. But, you know, your argument over all is something a lot of people have made. Where is the Senate? I mean, where is Lindsey Graham\u2019s hearings into all of this independent of impeachment? Where is it? A lot of people have been asking that<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: According to a record of his remarks obtained by The Federalist, he said, &quot;I want to be clear, I was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed.&quot;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":327234,"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 -
