RUSH: Ken Starr. Remember him? The sex fiend. Ken Starr, the sex pervert. Ken Starr, independent counsel who secretly worked for the tobacco companies and was trying to get your kids hooked on Joe Camel dolls so that your kids would go out there and start buying cigarettes and start getting cancer at age 16 or whatever.
How do we know this? Well, we know this because the Clinton administration attacked Ken Starr multiple times a day. The Clinton administration took aim at Ken Starr. The only way they could defend Clinton was to destroy the investigator. Yet heres David Rodham Gergen, who was in the Clinton administration at the time on CNN this morning with one of their infobabes named Poppy Harlow.
And the question: Mr. Gergen, the tweet this morning about the investigation, David Gergen, do you, the tweet this morning, president tweets that hes under investigation, hes under investigation for firing the FBI director by the man who told him to fire the FBI director. What do you do make of this?
GERGEN: The presidents lawyers must be going a little nuts this morning. You know, they clearly dont have control over what hes tweeting, and it has been long-standing practice that if youre under investigation, you dont attack publicly the investigators. It only stirs them up and it can invite overt retaliation underneath everything.
RUSH: Really. By the way, Ive had people ask me, what does this tweet mean? When Trump tweeted that hes under investigation for firing the FBI director by the man who told him to fire the FBI director, hes referring to Rod Rosenstein, whos the deputy attorney general, who signed and wrote a memo to Trump detailing Comeys incompetence in the July 5th press conference detailing Hillary Clintons crimes, but then saying he wasnt gonna charge her because he couldnt find any intent.
Rosenstein wrote this huge, long memo saying Comey was way out of bounds, it was very improper, and you have grounds for firing him. So Trump is saying no, it was Rosenstein who went out and chose Mueller. So Rosenstein, who wrote a memo encouraging Trump to fire Comey, now hires an independent counsel to investigate Trump for firing Comey and who knows what else. Thats what the purpose of Trumps tweet is.
So Gergen just said, You just dont do this. You dont attack the investigator. Its been a long standing practice. You dont attack publicly the investigator. It only stirs em up. Now, he was there when James Carville, [Paul] Begala, Lanny Davis, and everybody did it. I mean, it was a major operation, these people destroyed Ken Starr. Before it was all over, Ken Starr, who may still be a virgin, was actually a sex pervert. And he was canoodling with agents from Mars to get kids on tobacco, hooked on cigarettes!
It was brutal the way they were going after Starr. And there wasnt anybody in the media telling them not to do it. They were applauding it. We have a little flashback, 1998. CNN even ran a special smearing Ken Starr. It was a two-hour hit piece on Ken Starr, and here is a promo announcement.
ANNOUNCER: (sinister music) Who is Ken Starr? The independent counsel has spent four years investigating the president. From Whitewater to White House scandal, can Starr prove his case? Investigating the investigator Thursday eight eastern on CNN.
RUSH: Investigating the investigator. CNN joined the Clintons in savaging Ken Starr and yet heres David Gergen, You dont go after the investigator. Im sure Trumps lawyers are pulling their hair out today cause Trumps tweeting. Oh, my God, this never done. What do you mean its never done? Mr. Gergen, you worked for people who perfected the process of sliming investigators, sliming the lawyers, sliming special counsels. It isnt done?
This is another reason why I say Trump would be perfectly within his rights if he wanted to fire Mueller or if he wanted to have Rosenstein go in and limit the scope. All of this would be perfectly constitutional. It would be political nuclear warfare if he did it, given the reaction. But what does he care? Obviously Trump knows that anything he does is gonna create that kind of reaction. Nothing new. Why not add to it?
I mean, I think this is crucial stuff. They dont have anything, folks. Theyre leaking that theyre looking at money laundering? If you read that paragraph in the Washington Post, its almost I was gonna say criminal, it isnt criminal. But the paragraph in the Washington Post says that Mueller and his people are looking into the collusion. The collusion case has been dropped, except, no, it hasnt. Now we know because the Washington Post has a leak from inside the Mueller team, and theyre now looking at the finances of Trump people.
You know why? Because its very logical to assume that if there was collusion, that there were payments. That maybe the Russians paid Manafort or Carter Page or Roger Stone for their assistance in running the campaign and that there would probably be money parked away in secret bank accounts like in the Cook Islands and in the Caymans and Swiss banks or whatever. None of this is known.
There isnt a shred of evidence that money ever changed hands. There isnt a shred of evidence of collusion. There isnt a shred of evidence that any of these people have bank accounts in the Caymans. The whole paragraph is nothing more than a fantasy. And somebodys leaked, Yeah, these are the kind of things we have to consider, but theyre not considering cause they have any evidence. Theyre blind walking into something hoping they find something, they soaping it up against the wall and hoping it sticks. Theyve got nothing here.
But by the time you publish that in the Washington Post and it ends up on CNN and elsewhere, people are gonna conclude, Wow. There must have been money that changed hands, and that means the money is hidden. The Trump people were hiding money in the Caymans, offshore I think is the key phrase to indicate illegality. And theres no evidence of it.
You know whats preposterous about this? Okay, lets just take for one example, lets say the Russians did want to tamper with the election, okay? Why would they need this is the KGB why the hell would they need the assistance of Carter Page? Why would they need the assistance of anybody on the Trump team? Why would they need the assistance of Roger Stone? Why would they need to pay anybody? If theyre gonna collude, do it! And dont get caught. Dont leave any fingerprints. But certainly they wouldnt have to pay anybody.
But now look at what were constructing. The Russians were so eager that they paid. There obviously was payments. No. Obviously there wasnt anything. Youre making it all up. Yes, there were obvious payments, and now were gonna track down, were gonna subpoena people, gonna get their bank records, bank accounts, tax returns. Its a wild goose chase. Even now. And the leaks do not show anything other than that. Dont doubt me.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: By the way, if go back to last October, October 27, that Comey goes up there, reopens the Hillary email investigation, how many Democrats were ragging on Comey back then? How many of them were ripping Comey? If thats grounds for investigation, how many Democrats were ripping Comey? Hell, they started ripping Comey after the July thing for a while before they figured out he was gonna clear her.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Okay, now, get this. Trump tweets earlier that hes under investigation. The Washington Post was so giddy, they ran a story called Trump Keeps Creating His Own Personal Hell. And its all about Trump admitting hes under investigation when just last week everybody was operating on the assumption that he wasnt under investigation because Comey said he never was investigating him. Then Trump goes out there and says he is under investigation for firing Comey. He puts a tweet out there and so the media goes, All right! All right! Trump is under investigation. This changes everything, the media says, it changes everything. Now Trumps fair game. Now Trumps in the crosshairs.
And now something has happened, folks. CNN just ran a breaking news bulletin, and it was this: The independent counsel says he has not told Trump hes under investigation. So were back to its very possible Trump still isnt under investigation, yet Trump just tweeted out that he is. But somebody from the independent special counsel headquarters has told the media, No, no. We didnt tell Trump hes under investigation.
Now, technically theyre not saying Trump isnt under investigation. They are saying, We didnt tell him hes under investigation. But Trump said he is, and the media was just ecstatic, Oh, goody! Maybe Trump was wrong. Maybe Trump is toying with them. But somebody called the media, CNN, Nah-nah-nah, we did not tell him hes under investigation. They had to walk it back a little bit.
63 million Trump supporter bees.
Wonder how many of them are getting "stirred up" by a replay of the phony Swamp #FakeLaw cr@p that we saw in 1998-99?
Just think of all the demoncraps heads exploding if Trump were to appoint Starr for anything.
Starr is not worth remembering.
Yeah-but, the libs heads would still explode for what he did to Bill Clinton.
And not worth appointing. Nothing happened to Clinton.
Nothing happened to Clinton. He walked away free of shame or guilt and went on to rake in more cash and the slush fund Clinton Foundation. If anything Ken Starr made him more successful.
My plan: Trump fires Muller and announces Ken Starr as replacement. Wait a week for the Democrats-especially the media-to have their cow. Then appoint Rudy. Crazy like a fox. The Democrats are more like Wyle E. Coyote.
If he weren't a psychopath he would be able to feel his shame.
In our minds, he will always be the guy diddling an intern in the Oval Office and the rapist-in-chief with dead bodies in his wake.
He might not feel it but we will never forget.
Starr got steamrolled. His investigation was a trainwreck.
Washington DC is a small incestuous place Hillary Clinton has been in and out of there since the Watergate hearings. And, James Comey since the Whitewater investigation. Elected officials come and go, but the Deep State is forever.
I prefer to call him David Rodham Gurken.
For those unfamiliar with the word Gurken, it's German for pickel/cucumber. When I see that dope David Rodham Gurken with his big schnoz, all I can think of is a gurken.
I think Trump will give two months to Mueller, then note the dozens of leaks of insider-to-Mueller info to CNN....then announce a FBI investigation of Mueller and his entire staff. At that point, an investigator will be brought in to investigate the investigators. Everyone will start laughing because Mueller and his staff were just a funnel of getting insider and confidential info to the press.
Appointing RUDY would really be a Trump card and then even the higher ups like Clinton(s), Obama Jarrett, Susan Rice, Huma etc. would be nervous for the first time.
Oh and I forgot about black cankles... Loretta Lynch.
