\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, folks, it\u2019s also not a surprise that the Drive-Bys would be going after Cruz. And seriously, even though they made fun and mocked anybody who was a quote\/unquote “birther” back during the Obama years, it\u2019s expected. Of course. This is an opportunity for so much. It\u2019s quid pro quo. It\u2019s payback. Plus there\u2019s a real opportunity to take out a conservative they all hate. So of course they\u2019re gonna take it seriously. I\u2019ll tell you something here, folks. You know who really, really, really might be ineligible to run for the presidency? And it isn\u2019t Ted Cruz. Nobody on the Republican side. Let\u2019s examine Hillary Clinton in terms of eligibility.<\/p>\n

She might not be eligible to be elected president when everybody gets finished. Look at this, 18 US Code 107: “Concealment, Removal, or Mutilation Generally: Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. … and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.”<\/p>\n

…and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office…”<\/p>\n

If she is ever indicted on this e-mail business, or if they find that she has mutilated, destroyed, hidden, or otherwise done away with documents that were classified that came under her purview? Sorry, folks. She\u2019s gotta be convicted, of course. But if that were to ever happen, she\u2019s not qualified. She\u2019s not eligible to run. And, I\u2019m telling you, this has as much (if not more) possibility and relevance than whatever they\u2019re trying to manufacture here about Ted Cruz. We\u2019ve gotta be very careful not to take our eyes off who the real enemy is. It\u2019s the Democrats, folks. It\u2019s not fellow Republicans.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, I\u2019m dead serious, folks. Look at this. “Hillary Clinton\u00c2\u2019s Criminal Indictment Looms\u00c2\u2026<\/a>” Yesterday was Joe diGenova saying so<\/a>. Today there\u2019s a piece at the DC Whispers blog. “Talk of a possible indictment against former Obama Secretary of State and current Democrat presidential frontrunner, Hillary Clinton have swirled for months. Whispers now indicate that over the last forty-eight hours that talk has turned very-very serious.”<\/p>\n


\nI don\u2019t know what\u2019s gonna happen there, but it is ramping up. Look, she\u2019s admitted she deleted half of the e-mails on that server. The law is very clear here. Now, don\u2019t misunderstand, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s automatic this is gonna happen, just like this Cruz thing. Can I make another observation? This is fascinating to me. Look at the lather everybody willingly gets themselves worked up into about what citizenship is and how it\u2019s defined and then whether or not Ted Cruz can legitimately run for president. Look at the lather this has everybody worked up into. And yet there\u2019s hardly any concern whatsoever about what illegal noncitizens are allowed to do.<\/p>\n

We bend over backwards. We extend the full welfare state and then some to the illegals who come into this country illegally. The Democrat Party goes out of its away to find ways to keep them here. The Democrat Party\u2019s looking for undercover ways to extend temporary quasi-citizenship to them so they could vote. We have people that get worked up about this, obviously, about the politics of it.<\/p>\n

But my point is we\u2019re talking about illegal immigrants, there\u2019s much more sympathy and much more compassion, and we\u2019re told that we must be understanding. And these are people fleeing disaster-torn areas of the world. They just want to make a better life and they come to the United States, who are we to say no. We have somebody that\u2019s an actual citizen here, we\u2019re trying to drum \u2019em out of the country, we\u2019re trying to drum \u2019em out of the presidential race. They\u2019re all worked up over whether or not a citizen is a citizen and then what that citizen can or cannot do. I just find the juxtaposition of those things fascinating.<\/p>\n

Look, all it took was Trump bringing this up, “Hey, you know what, Ted might want to look into this. I would hate for Ted to be sidelined by a lawsuit down the road.” And everybody, on cue, like there\u2019s a Svengali or pied piper out there, everybody just falls into line and starts behaving exactly as whoever is responsible for this wanted them to behave. And so today the entire focus of the so-called Republican Party, conservative movement, is on Ted Cruz and not Hillary Clinton and not Bernie Sanders, who, by the way, I\u2019m gonna remind you again, is creeping up and is so close to Mrs. Clinton. They are getting practically paranoid, petrified with fear inside the Clinton campaign over Bernie, not just where he is in the polls in some of these states, but the amount of money he\u2019s raising.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not reading about it because the Drive-By Media circle the wagons doing everything they can to protect Hillary. I mean, I have great example of that in The Politico today that is hilarious, and I will do you the honor of analyzing it and translating it for you, \u2019cause it is just classic, how they\u2019re trying to distance Hillary from Obama now. And the stretches and the extortions and the twists and the pretzel-like moves they make in order to create distance between Hillary and Obama is classically funny.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here is Mike in Bethel, Connecticut. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. How are you? I\u2019m surprised they haven\u2019t outlawed tampons in California.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Yeah, right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Listen, I want to raise a hypothetical with you. Let\u2019s say the Justice Department has an epiphany and does something proper with Hillary and she\u2019s out of the race. I think Bernie Sanders, for all his popularity and everything you\u2019ve discussed, he, you know, has a strong showing out there, but he doesn\u2019t have one or two of the things that Obama has, you know, one being the first African-American president, and everybody had glow in their eyes. So I think the question becomes what do the Democrats do, and there will be lots of smoke filled back rooms where people are wondering, \u2019cause I don\u2019t think O\u2019Malley will be the choice, and Biden isn\u2019t gonna —<\/p>\n


\nRUSH: Now, now, now, wait just a second, because it\u2019s interesting that you mentioned this, because I don\u2019t think Hillary is gonna be indicted. I know. I respect Joe diGenova, and just to repeat, diGenova thinks she\u2019s gonna be indicted in 60 days<\/a>. He thinks the FBI is just loaded up with evidence; it\u2019s so much evidence that if the attorney general does not charge that there\u2019s gonna be a revolt at the FBI like there was in Watergate when the solicitor general refused to fire somebody on Nixon\u2019s order.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when Bork came along and did it. He thinks there\u2019s gonna be a revolt, diGenova says. Look, he\u2019s the guy. He\u2019s been there. He would know. He\u2019s not gonna just say this off the top of his head. He\u2019s got to know this. He\u2019s the kind of person who would have the connections to know how close the FBI is, what kind of evidence they had, how much of it. He wouldn\u2019t be going out saying this stuff. Unless he\u2019s senile. And I just saw him on TV. He doesn\u2019t look senile. He says, “Look, it is mountainous, and they are continuing to investigate.”<\/p>\n

They\u2019re up to 1400 e-mails that she trafficked in that are classified, and they\u2019re adding to it all the time. And there\u2019s more evidence than just that. And he thinks there\u2019s no way she won\u2019t be indicted in 60 days, and that if Loretta Lynch and Obama pull the plug on it and don\u2019t indict, that there\u2019s gonna be a revolt, that that\u2019s how much evidence they\u2019ve got. I can\u2019t see it. For one of the reasons you brought up: Who are they gonna have? The Democrat Party runs this Regime or you should you could say this Regime is the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n

I mean, if they indict Hillary, they are knowingly taking her out of the race. Now, if that happens, folks, it means they never wanted her in this in the first place — and 2007, 2008 was not a coincidence, that Obama just didn\u2019t decide to surface and run, come out of nowhere and win. If that happens, it means that somebody somewhere doesn\u2019t want the Clintons anywhere back near the White House or presidential power. I can\u2019t see it. And it\u2019s not because I don\u2019t believe that the Clintons are immune and that they are not held accountable the same forces we all are.<\/p>\n

I just don\u2019t see the Democrat Party, Obama taking her out? I might be persuaded somebody who knew that maybe there\u2019s a genuine animus that Obama has for Hillary, maybe Obama does not want her responsible for continuing his legacy. I\u2019d have to be told this, though, and I\u2019d have to be told this in a very convincing way by somebody who knew. I don\u2019t want to suppose this. But if it does happen, Martin O\u2019Malley is not gonna be the guy. But don\u2019t discount Bernie Sanders. I mean, yeah, he\u2019s not gonna be the first anything other than old guy.<\/p>\n

Hillary would be the first woman, but, you know, Bernie\u2019s not Hispanic, he\u2019s not female, he\u2019s not transgender. No first there. But he is raising money. He\u2019s raising a lot of money, and his polling numbers are closer to Hillary in a few states that anybody knows. But don\u2019t forget over there old Plugs. Remember when Plugs made his big announcement, Biden, that he wasn\u2019t going to run for president. When he was finished, what was everybody\u2019s reaction? That sounded sure as heck like a guy who is running. He laid out what his agenda would be.<\/p>\n


\nHe laid out what his reason for running would be. He laid out what he wanted to accomplish. In the midst of saying he wasn\u2019t gonna do it. And some people said, “You know what? This sounds like a guy who is laying down markers for getting in this race if something untoward happens to front-runners and he has to get in. He\u2019s already got the groundwork laid, the framework put out,” and he\u2019s talking about it. He\u2019s out there… There\u2019s a story. I got a story in the Stack today, Plugs is saying he thinks every day about running for president.<\/p>\n

Every day he thinks about doing it, every day he thinks about his decision not to do it, every day it\u2019s on his mind. So he would be a natural to pick up any slack if Hillary drops… In fact, I just found the story. Here it is in fact: “Joe Biden on 2016 Decision: ‘I Regret It Every Day<\/a>.'” TheHill.com: “Vice President Joe Biden says he regrets ‘every day\u2019 that he didn\u2019t enter the 2016 presidential race — but his decision was in his family\u2019s best interests. ‘I regret it every day, but it was the right decision for my family and for me. And I plan on staying deeply involved,\u2019 Biden said in an interview with Connecticut NBC affiliate.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
