RUSH: John Podesta, whose emails were made public in the WikiLeaks dump, ran Hillary’s campaign, was on a website yesterday, and they released an interview by Bloomberg Politics co-managing editor John Heilemann they had with Podesta. We have a little clip of this thing. It’s kind of funny in a way. During a discussion about James Comey, the FBI director, during a discussion of his impact on the election, Heilemann and Podesta had the following back-and-forth.
HEILEMANN: You have a theory, the case —
PODESTA: Well, I think there’s —
HEILEMANN: — that Comey wanted Trump to win, that the FBI wanted Trump to win. There’s gotta be some theories here.
PODESTA: I think there’s two possibilities. There are at least forces within the FBI that wanted her to lose. I’m not sure they were prepared to — they really understood the alternative, but they wanted her to lose. I think that’s one possibility. I think the other is just become a cover-your-ass organization and there was pressure coming up from underneath him, and he succumbed to that the pressure.
RUSH: Wow. So there’s Podesta. So there’s a deep state that stuck it to Hillary. Somebody in the FBI didn’t want her to win. You know what they’re saying. They’re saying that Rudy, Rudy Giuliani, former U.S. attorney, tight with some FBI types in New York, they’re saying that Rudy had the connections to make all this Comey stuff happen and that the FBI is just a cover-your-ass organization, not doing anything serious anymore. They just wanted her to lose and they didn’t understand the alternative. Meaning they didn’t know how bad it would be with Trump, they just hated her, once again, betraying the Podesta mind-set.
So, anyway, I don’t know if they ended up blaming the Russians as that interview went on, but it’s pretty much what we know they think. They didn’t lose because of Hillary’s being a lousy candidate. They didn’t lose because of ideas. They didn’t lose because people like Trump better. They lost because somebody cheated ’em and maybe a combination of the FBI and the Russians cheated ’em. They still can’t get over it, and it’s largely governing much of their behavior even now.
hahahaha.
Podesta is suddenly buying into the “Deep State” theory.
If Comey wanted Hillary to lose, why did he give her a pass for proven crimes?
Every sane American wanted Clintoonie to lose. Apparently, if you believe Podesta, the Russkis did too. I don’t think they were too impressed with Clintoonie’s childish “RESET” button.
Podesta should be thanking the FBI Director.
Hillary would be in prison if FBI Director Comey and the DOJ had not whitewashed her violations of the espionage statute.
This is hilarious. I guess the Russian angle isn’t working anymore so now we have Deep State, anti-Hillary operatives in the FBI as the replacement scapegoat for stealing the election.
If anything, some in the FBI may have wanted to prosecute her for her lawlessness.
They also think Podesta is a sick freak that deserves the death penalty.
Podesta vs the FBI. My money is on the FBI
He made it so easy by clicking on a phishing link and giving his password, which was the dumbest password anyone can have: “password.”
Podesta is a charter member of the Deep State.
He is trying to insulate himself against what is coming.
Namely: jail.
The Hillary case isn’t over yet,not by a long shot.
Mmmm, I guess something else is coming out about Podesta and he’s deflecting early.
Then why are they trying to sabotage Trump?
He’s trying to co-opt and neuter the powerful term DEEP STATE, the same way we did with the perjorative FAKE NEWS.
Smart.
Oh!
And remember, WE are the conspirasists, right..?
Keep it all straight, now.
There was a time in my life in which I was in LE and knew local, State and FBI officers professionally and personally. I do believe the FBI didn’t want Hilary to win because she, in their eyes, is a criminal and traitor. I, too, believe those things about her.
He makes my skin crawl......bigly.
I thought it was the damn Russians.
The moonbats are all over the place trying to convince their
idiot base that they are not lunatics.
Rush is correct on this. No way in hell do they accept the fact that their party and ideas have been rejected.
1200 losses in state/federal positions in 6 years is just a weird anomaly to the feral left.
