<\/p>\nRUSH: We go to Valdosta, Georgia, first. First Robert. It\u2019s great to have you here. Hello, sir.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you, Mr. Limbaugh. I\u2019d like to make two points. My first point would be concerning professional and ethical conduct of the witnesses I see in front of these testimonies in Congress. And second point, nondisclosure of privileged information. I was in a position where I escorted senior officials of our government — cabinet-level secretaries, secretary of defense, secretary of state, many other senior officials in foreign government areas —<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now we\u2019re all wondering what you did.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (laughing) He\u2019s not gonna tell us.<\/p>\n
CALLER: When you overhear a senior official\u2019s telephone conversations or private conversations with other government officials, I — as a person and the training I received certainly was — those are privileged conversations. They\u2019re privileged conversations between the official and the person he is talking to. It is not my responsibility to disclose that to anybody else. And if I did so, that would be professionally unethical conduct.<\/p>\n
RUSH: This is a great point, folks. This is absolutely a fabulous point.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-112119-IMPEACHMENT-Holmes.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
CALLER: And the second point is, nondisclosure of such privileged communications outside my immediate chain of command. If I ever had a responsibility, I could go to my supervisor. That might be appropriate. I could go to legal counsel. But, if I go to legal counsel, it stops at that point \u2019til until counsel tells me what to do with it.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right. He\u2019s talking about Lieutenant Colonel Vindman here, folks.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I really have problems with Mr. Holmes and his overhearing a conversation with Ambassador Sondland, and I really have problems with Mr. Vindman — or Lieutenant Colonel Vindman — and the conduct that they portrayed and implemented.<\/p>\n
RUSH: It\u2019s LIEUTENANT! COLONEL! Vindman.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes. Yes. Not Mr. Vindman. Schiff can call him Mr. Vindman, but we can\u2019t. It\u2019s “Lieutenant Colonel Vindman,” and then sing the national anthem. And then the other point is (laughing) somebody like ambassador using an unsecure phone at a restaurant in a foreign country with staffers who he\u2019s not completely familiar with and making and placing a call to the president of the United States —<\/p>\n
RUSH: You have just described… The reason why this is so good, our caller from Valdosta has just described exactly what these hearings have been. (singing) “O say can you see, Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, by the light of the day…”<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, why was this previous caller so right on the money? Because this excrement show that Schiff has put on for the past two weeks boils down to two themes. Now, these themes have a bunch of subthemes and subsets, but they\u2019re basically two primary themes in what is a gigantic hoax. It is this. Bureaucrat A, Witness A supposes, presumes, assumes what Bureaucrat B says or hears. That\u2019s been the extent of it.<\/p>\n
“Well, I heard Sondland on the phone and I thought it was so loud when I heard Trump say…” And then, “Well, Sondland said that, but then I (sputtering) I was talking to Holmes, and Holmes said, ‘What did you think of what Holmes said? How did you feel?\u2019 ‘Oh, I felt really bad! I thought it was bad.'” This was all it\u2019s been. You call it hearsay or whatever, but Bureaucrat A, God\u2019s Gift to Humanity A supposes, presumes, assumes, or thinks what God\u2019s Gift to Humanity B says or hears.<\/p>\n
In other words, we don\u2019t have a John Dean, we don\u2019t have a Jaworski, we do not have a “fact witness.” Despite Fiona Hill claiming to be one, we don\u2019t. We don\u2019t have a witness. We don\u2019t have anybody that was there saw what happened because nothing actually happened. I actually saw somebody… I hate doing this. I hate it. I hate it. I saw somebody on Fox today just telling the audience that Schiff and Pelosi, they didn\u2019t even want to do impeachment until whistleblower showed up.”<\/p>\n
I said, “Oh, my goodness. Oh, jeez. Are you…?”<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-111519-IMPEACHMENT-Schiff-Nunes-001.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
“They didn\u2019t even want to do impeachment until the whistleblower came forward.” Some days, it\u2019s tough out there, folks. Schiff and Pelosi have wanted to do this… The articles of impeachment are written! Do you understand? They\u2019re written. They\u2019re done. There may be amended based on testimony, but it\u2019s going to happen. All of this is meaningless, and I don\u2019t mean meaningless in a substantive sense that it\u2019s not serious. It\u2019s meaningless in the sense that it\u2019s gonna have no effect on whether Schiff or Pelosi file articles.<\/p>\n
This is just a bumbling of perfunctory public display to try to give some credibility to what the articles of impeachment are going to say. Because this is it. If you watched the Democrat debate last night, they have got nothing, folks. That debate was so boring, I can\u2019t tell you. And the number of people… You couple the boredom with these hearings and the boredom with the Democrat debate, and there\u2019s some people who are gonna need to be brought away from the ledge.<\/p>\n
Snerdley just asked me, “Rush, tell me something. I know that the radical left are all in on this and they can\u2019t wait for Trump to be frog-marched out. But what about the Democrats that are not radicals? What about the mainstream Democrats that we grew up with? How in the world are they seeing this?” I said, “There aren\u2019t very many of those left, and so it\u2019s kind of a waste of time to try to figure out what they think.” This party is gone, folks. The Democrat Party that you\u2019ve always assumed was just a, quote-unquote, left-wing version of the alternate or opposite party, they are gone.<\/p>\n
They have been co-opted. The Democrat Party has been totally taken over by the radical left. Take a look at their presidential candidates running for the nomination. There\u2019s not a moderate in the bunch. Every moderate in that group has been drummed out, and now there\u2019s some new moderates thinking about getting in like Doomberg. I can\u2019t wait for that to happen. Who\u2019s the other one? Oh. There\u2019s somebody else in the media out saying keep a sharp eye out for Michelle Obama. That\u2019s how bad it\u2019s getting in the Democrat list.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s been pooh-poohed previously by others. Not me, by the way. I always thought… Let me put it this way: I will not be surprised, and I would never be surprised if at the last minute she comes in to save the day because it looks like there\u2019s not a single one of these people that\u2019s gonna be able to be elected. And now they\u2019re having this impeachment thrown on them. They have to incorporate this in their campaigns because the party in Washington has made everything about this, and yet they\u2019ve got nothing.<\/p>\n
And again, the evidence they\u2019ve got nothing is that impeachment didn\u2019t last long as a topic last night. If there had been a Jeb Magruder, if there had been a John Dean in these hearings, if there had been… Who am I leaving out? Who was the big guy? Alexander Butterworth. If there had been somebody to reveal the White House taping system, if there had been anybody that had any evidence, that\u2019s all that the Democrats would have been talking about last night in that debate.<\/p>\n

But it barely got any mention after the first couple of questions, and they reverted back to how many they\u2019re gonna give away to everybody. So Bureaucrat A supposes, presumes, assumes what Bureaucrat B says or hears. We have no tapes. We have no blue dress, no semen-stained blue dress. We don\u2019t have perjury. We have nothing. We have no evidence. There\u2019s literally no evidence. Not a single witness has had anything but hearsay and his opinion or assumption.<\/p>\n
And these very bureaucrats — whose opinions and assumptions are so valuable and are so powerful. These same bureaucrats had no problem appeasing Putin and denying aid to Ukraine. All during Obama administration Ukraine got zip, zero, nada, and these people were fine with it, because Vladimir Putin had to be appeased — and do not doubt me on this. Everything is the exact opposite of the way the Democrats are presenting it.<\/p>\n
It was Barack Obama and the Democrat Party that was in cahoots with Putin. It was Barack Obama who did not want to upset Putin. It was Barack Obama who wanted to please Vladimir Putin. That\u2019s why Ukraine never got any aid. That\u2019s why Ukraine never got any assistance. And every one of these bureaucrats (whining) “upset that Ukraine had its assistance (sobbing) withheld by Donald Trump. It\u2019s so bad!” Ukraine never got a dime.<\/p>\n
They never got a bullet when these very same bureaucrats were in the foreign policy apparatus dealing with Ukraine. That\u2019s right. They didn\u2019t give Ukraine anything. Now they are outraged that Trump armed the Ukrainians with lethal aid. The only common denominator and all you need to know as you watch this, is whatever Trump was for, they were against. Whatever they were against, Trump is for and that means Trump is wrong and that means Trump is a criminal, and that means Trump is dumb and stupid and unqualified.<\/p>\n
