Rush Understood the Swamp\u2019s Motivation to Hurt Trump"},"content":{"rendered":"

BRETT: One of the things Rush often spoke of was this idea that Donald Trump was not a member of that inside-the-Beltway club, right? He was an outsider, and that meant — right out of the box — that about, I don\u2019t know, what, 70, 80, 90% of Washington, D.C., was gonna absolutely hate him \u2019cause he\u2019s not in the fraternity.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not in the club. He\u2019s not one of them. You\u2019re seeing it manifesting right now in the administration of President Biden and Vice President Harris in the absence of leaking coming out of the Beltway, coming out of the swamp, coming out of the Biden administration. Make no mistake, there is in an abundant amount of stuff that could be getting leaked.<\/p>\n

We could be hearing stuff about Hunter Biden and Burisma and investigations and all of that sort of stuff — tax liability, what have you. We could hear things about the Iranian nuclear negotiations, North Korea, China really eating our lunch when it comes to dealing with the Biden administration. We can hear leaks about uncertainty for court packing, admitting new states to the union.<\/p>\n

\"\"A desire to focus on the issues that matter most to Americans rather than the sort of theoretical exercises that we get from Joe Biden in which he declares and utters the phrase “Jim Crow” at least four times in an answer. We\u2019re not getting any leaks. Without Trump in office, the swamp doesn\u2019t leak as much for Biden. It\u2019s incredible.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a piece out there that says, “The Trump White House Provided Reporters with a Gusher of Leaks. With Biden, Everything\u2019s Changed.” The message here is — because Biden is a member in good standing of the swamp, and he\u2019s not an outsider — that things are running smoothly. Therefore, no leaks. Rush talked about this back in May 2017. Here\u2019s what he said.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, if I were Trump, I would already be crazy with whoever is leaking all this stuff out of my White House. Because there is no question that place is leaking like a sieve. And it has to be people close to him. It\u2019s not just the deep state. It\u2019s not just people in the administrative state. There have to be people in Trump\u2019s inner circle who are leaking. Now, in order to find out who you start going down a list of names and asking, “Why would they leak? To what end? What is the objective here?”<\/p>\n

And I will give you the answer. There are many others, but I\u2019m gonna give you the main, overriding answer for all of these questions, and that is: Washington, D.C., is the place you go if you want to acquire raw power. It\u2019s the place you go if you want to acquire wealth. It\u2019s not the only place for that. But, in terms of power, that\u2019s it. And, if you have a falling out with your boss, if there\u2019s friction within the staff and you happen to be on the outs, one of the ways you get even with the boss (in this case, Trump) is to start leaking things.<\/p>\n

You would leak in order to ingratiate yourself with the media. You would leak in order to buy yourself either no coverage or favorable coverage. You would leak maybe if an enemy of Trump was offering you riches and power if you lose your job because you\u2019re discovered as a leaker. It\u2019s a cesspool. It is insidious. And it is why I said yesterday that much of this that is happening is due to disloyalty to Trump in his inner circle. And these people are leaking…<\/p>\n

The leaks are so profound, The leak is like a flood. Every day there\u2019s more leaks coming out of there. They know who it is. Of course, they\u2019re not gonna identify the leakers. So when you hear about this, you say, “Well, my gosh, Donald Trump, nobody in his business has leaked. People that work for him at Trump Enterprises, Trump organization, nothing but love, praise, adoration. There was none of this kind of behavior.<\/p>\n

\"\"“Why here? Has Trump chosen the wrong people? Did Trump not know the kind of people to choose? Did Trump not understand the lay of the land?” I don\u2019t know. Those are all valid questions. But there\u2019s no question there is massive, massive leaking, and it\u2019s not just from Trump enemies. Well, I know that\u2019s… (sigh) People you wouldn\u2019t think are Trump enemies. Are there people on the Trump inner circle who are there because they have the ability to get them there because they have influence with Trump who may not actually like Trump, for instance?<\/p>\n

Are there people on Trump\u2019s staff who were promised something and don\u2019t think they\u2019ve gotten it, and other people have, and their noses are out of joint, and so the way they get even is leak against the president for mistreating them? All of these things are possible. But something like this or variations of this has to be going on there. And the purpose is to undermine Trump. And you would say, “Why would people who he\u2019s asked to be in his inner circle — which would be an honor to have that kind of access to power, to be involved in this revolutionary administration that has a chance of changing the world…? Why would you want to sabotage it?”<\/p>\n

My friends, all valid questions, but the answer is the pursuit of raw personal power. Human beings are human beings. It doesn\u2019t take much to get people to think they know everything. People that think they\u2019re the greatest people on earth, get their nose out of joint when they\u2019re ignored or when their advice is not taken or when other people\u2019s advice is preferred. You never know. But places like this… You couldn\u2019t…<\/p>\n

If you work at a small business or corporation and you get mistreated, you can\u2019t leak and have it hurt anybody or help you because you really have to be in the executive circle to do that. You wouldn\u2019t be privy to the information, the data that would be interesting to anybody, to leak. But that\u2019s not the case in the Trump inner circle. Everybody in the Trump inner circle is fully informed and up to speed on everything going on. Plus, they don\u2019t have to be truthfully about it.<\/p>\n

They could lie! Call up the media and tell a lie.<\/p>\n
