RUSH: We know for a fact that the Hillary campaign was getting oppo research on Trump from the Ukrainian government, and that led to Paul Manafort being fired as campaign manager. And nobody in the mainstream media or anywhere else batted an eye about Ukraine helping Hillary.
And of course the Russian lawyer didnt help Trump; she isnt connected with the Russian government anyway. Shes more connected to Fusion GPS than she is to Putin. And Fusion GPS happens to be the group that created the phony Trump golden showers dossier.
So, anyway, Jr. E Junior has released the email timeline, and this has got a lot of people panicking because they think that Jr. has just dug his grave and buried himself in it. Because it contains some of the things that I just read.
Donald Trump Jr. on Tuesday released what he said was the entire email chain of his conversations setting up a disputed meeting with a Russian attorney, showing what appeared to be an offer to provide information that would incriminate Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as part of Russia and its governments support for Mr. Trump.'
I go back to what I said at the opening of the program. Think back to all of these stories the past six months. Relive it in your mind, relive it, every day we had something else, every day, and none of them went anywhere. Why are we just hearing about this now? This happened over a year ago. Why are we only hearing about this after every other effort to link Trump and Putin and collusion has bombed out? Why are we just hearing about this now?
If it is this incriminating, if it is this deadly, if this is the nail in the coffin, why only now are we hearing about this? Its got all the ingredients of a story except fact. It has all the ingredients necessary to create illusions and write narratives, but it doesnt have any substance. By that I mean there was no high-level information from Russia. There was no information from the Russian government incriminating Hillary Clinton. None of that was available.
The woman that showed up claiming to be the Russian lawyer with the information claimed to know nothing about it whatsoever. She was there for a totally different purpose. But you remember the Trump golden showers dossier. It was rummaging around Washington throughout the summer of 2016. It was rummaging around and every media outlet new about it. And none would write it, none would publish it, none would reference it because everybody knew that it was totally fraudulent and totally made up.
But they desperately wanted it out there, they wanted it. So BuzzFeed came along and published the whole thing with all these caveats saying none of it can be confirmed but this is whats going around and we think you, the reader, should know, even though its all totally lies, every bit of it was bogus. The reason why BuzzFeed did it is because Trump was shown the dossier by intelligence agencies.
The story was that intel agencies were upset that Trump was not willing to have a meeting with them every day. I guess its common for presidents to get an intel briefing every day from the intelligence agencies, you know, one person that takes all the information, puts it in one report and provides it to the president. Trump was out there saying Ive got a good memory. I dont need to meet with these people every day.
So this dossier was presented to Trump by intelligence agencies under the guise of, Mr. President, this is why you need to meet with us. This is the kind of stuff that will be out there. Its not true, but this stuff is the kind of stuff that you need to be aware of. Sorry. Right then it becomes news. It was presented to Trump, Trump saw is it. Story is Donald Trump today was presented with intel that says, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Not that was fake and phony and totally made up, but rather Trump was presented with intel information today that said blah, blah.
And then its in the news. Now its a story, even though it isnt true. Its the same thing here. We have an email from a dubious source whos now denying that he said this, passing along words from the son of a Trump partner, Miss USA pageant in Russia, claiming theres high-level information from the Russian government designed to help Trump beat Hillary. Except there isnt.
None of that news was part of the meeting. Trump Jr. did not hear a syllable of it because none of it was offered. The lawyer that showed up did not have any of that. But now weve got a story because theres an email which said that the Russian government has high-level information designed to harm Hillary Clinton. It doesnt matter that there isnt any high-level information. It doesnt matter that the Russian government did not provide any to this person to pass on to Donald Trump Jr.
He took the meeting under the premise that it was there and therefore its in the news. And so they get the premise out there that there was high-level government information from the Russians designed to hurt Hillary, even though there wasnt. And that becomes the story. And the story is that Trump took the meeting hoping to hear it, willing to hear it, and that proved collusion. But there wasnt any information.
So this is how they get it into the news as a story. Theyre still running it at CNN. Anti-Clinton info, very high level, part of Russia and its government support. None of that was passed on. There isnt any of that! There is not a shred of that in any of this story! What there is in this story about that is that there isnt any of it. And yet its the news. Same thing with the golden showers dossier.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Were gonna start with George in South Windsor, Connecticut. Great to have you, sir. How are you doing?
CALLER: Hey, listen, great to be on. And, you know, having grown up in Sacramento, I love your Rio Linda jokes. You could probably add Yuba City in there, but well leave that for another day. So on its face, if you listen to whats going on here and I definitely like your explanation of maybe a possible setup here and everything else but what we do know is the following: That Bill Clinton did a couple of speeches, got a couple million dollars where? From Russia. We know as secretary of state Hillary Clinton had some sort of really shady uranium deals, right? So then you put all this together, all of a sudden the Trump campaign gets an email saying, Hey, weve got some dirt on the Clintons. We already know theyre greasy and theyve colluded and intertwined themselves
RUSH: Not only that youre exactly right look, this Ukrainian deal and the uranium deal with the Russians and the Clintons, we have documented this so many times, Im sick of talking about it. Hillary Clinton facilitated the sale of, what, 75% of our uranium stocks to Ukraine all in exchange for money to the Clinton Foundation. If there was an election that was rigged, it was the Democrat primaries. And if there was any collusion, it was between Hillary Clinton and Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz.
And of course none of that is ever mentioned. I know that stuff doesnt exonerate Junior. What do you want me to do? Do you want me to sit there and say, its over? You want me to join the chorus? You want me to do that? I didnt think so. You guys want to sit in there and be able to cry in your milk, its over, its over. But you want me to continue to carry the spears. Im happy to do it.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Let me check here historical knowledge. Do you remember who it was that briefed Trump on the golden showers dossier and when? Do you remember who it was, Mr. Snerdley? Intelligence agency officials were told. It was none other than James Comey. And we have that from none other than fake news CNN. January 12th, 2017, Breaking news: FBI Director Comey briefed President Trump, President-Elect Trump on a two-page synopsis of Russian claims in a one-on-one conversation Friday, sources close to CNN say.
This was a clarification about who had done the briefing, which CNN had reported on January 10th. Later that day, proving my point, later that day, the same day that Comey briefed Trump on the dossier is when BuzzFeed published it, thereby proving my brilliant contention that the way they got the dossier in the news was to present it to Trump. Hes the president-elect. It was intel. Totally fake and made up, but Comey presented it to Trump. Look, Mr. President, this is the kind of stuff thats out there.
Its easy, then, for the news agencies to say, President Trump today was briefed on intel that blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And theyre off to the races, getting fake news, fake intel into a Drive-By narrative story after story after story. The Trump dossier claims that Trump sent Carter Page to Putin to offer to pay the Russians to help them win the election. Its not just the golden showers part. This dossier claims that Carter Page was sent by Trump to Vladimir Putin to offer to pay the Russians to help Trump win the election.
If that were true, Trump would have never been inaugurated. That is a pack of lies. Thats what Comey gave to Trump. Comey showed this to Trump, that legitimizes it. Why, it was shown to the president-elect. Thats news. What was it? Bingo, off to the races. So, in addition to the golden showers thats Trump hiring prostitutes to urinate on the bed the Obamas slept in in Moscow there is also the claim that Trump sent Carter Page to Putin personally to offer to pay the Russians to help em win. The same day Comey presents it, BuzzFeed prints the whole thing, and then the rest of the Drive-Bys follow.
Since were going back to the archives, let me go back to January 11th and a story from Politico. Heres the headline: Ukrainian Efforts to Sabotage Trump Backfire Kiev officials are scrambling to make amends with the president-elect after quietly working to boost Clinton. Its by Kenneth Vogel and David Stern, January 11, 2017.
Donald Trump wasnt the only presidential candidate whose campaign was boosted by officials of a former Soviet bloc country. Wait, see that lead? Theres no evidence that anybody helped Trump! But they just write that as though its common knowledge the Russians colluded with Trump. Folks, I dont believe this because none of this up to nows been true. Thats why I think this is all BS, because none of what we had up to now has been true. If it were, it wouldnt be news today.
If any of this garbage that they have done is breaking news for the past six months to nine months had been true, this wouldnt even register on the Richter scale. Trump would already be gone if any of that stuff had been true. None it has been, so why is this? If weve had six months, nine months of fake news and lies, why one day do we believe the latest attempt? Well, I dont! I think this is all a propaganda effort.
This is the Drive-By Media as the primary power source for the American liberal movement today, not the Democrat Party, and theyre driving this train. And if everything up to now has been bogus, if everything up to nows been fake news, if everything up to now has been unprovable and theres nothing to it, why yesterday does this become true? Ask yourself, if youre falling for it, why? When everything prior to this has been bogus, lies, made up, fake news? Today the Donald Trump Jr. story, Uh-oh, no, oh, no.
If youre falling for it, you know what it means? It means all this time youve thought maybe Trump did it. And I have never, for a second, considered that Trump colluded with the Russians. I have never believed that Putin would do it. I have never believed that Putin cares. I dont think anybody knows who Putin would prefer, but if you want to play that game, theres no doubt in my mind he would prefer Hillary. Shes a dunce! Shes willing to give away America! Just like Obama was. If he wants anybody, thats who he would want.
If any of this garbage that they have done is breaking news for the past six months to nine months had been true, this wouldnt even register on the Richter scale. Trump would already be gone if any of that stuff had been true. None it has been, so why is this? If weve had six months, nine months of fake news and lies, why one day do we believe the latest attempt? Well, I dont! I think this is all a propaganda effort.
This is the Drive-By Media as the primary power source for the American liberal movement today, not the Democrat Party, and theyre driving this train. And if everything up to now has been bogus, if everything up to nows been fake news, if everything up to now has been unprovable and theres nothing to it, why yesterday does this become true? Ask yourself, if youre falling for it, why? When everything prior to this has been bogus, lies, made up, fake news? Today the Donald Trump Jr. story, Uh-oh, no, oh, no.
If youre falling for it, you know what it means? It means all this time youve thought maybe Trump did it. And I have never, for a second, considered that Trump colluded with the Russians. I have never believed that Putin would do it. I have never believed that Putin cares. I dont think anybody knows who Putin would prefer, but if you want to play that game, theres no doubt in my mind he would prefer Hillary. Shes a dunce! Shes willing to give away America! Just like Obama was. If he wants anybody, thats who he would want.
He would not want Trump. He would not want a strong nationalist, America-first guy. He wouldnt want someone thats gonna build the military back up. He wouldnt want somebody thats gonna deploy missiles in Poland that Obama was not gonna deploy. Theres no sensible explanation for why Putin would want Trump, unless you think Trumps an absolute dodo bird Bozo that Putin could manipulate, but Im telling you that person is Hillary Clinton. And its already been demonstrated!
Obama, Hillary, were happy to be subservient to Putin. Obama on the open mic, Tell Vlad Ill have a lot more flexibility after the election, meaning to get rid of American nukes at a more rapid rate. But if you think theres anything to this Donald Trump Jr. thing it means all this time youve thought maybe Trump did it and you were just happy nobody had been able to find any evidence. But you secretly believed he did it if youre falling for this, because why this and none of the other thats preceded it?
Everything thats come before this was demonstrated to be fake news and a pack of lies, and all of a sudden today this is true, when in fact this is more easily disproven than it is proven! There was no high-level information passed on from the Russian government to Donald Trump Jr. or anybody else. All there was, was an email that nobody has seen claiming that an emissary wanted a meeting because she had some of that. When she shows up, she didnt have any of it. What is going on here?
Back to the Ukrainian story. Forget this lead sentence. This is outrageous. Donald Trump wasnt the only presidential candidate whose campaign was boosted by officials of a former Soviet bloc country. Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide [thats Manafort] in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clintons allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers, a Politico investigation found.
What do we have here? We have proof that the Ukrainians were trying to sabotage Trump. We have proof that they were trying to help Hillary Clinton and that when Trump wins, they backed off, they begged forgiveness and wanted to become friends with Trump so that he would not pay them back.
There is still no evidence of any kind anywhere that the Russians tried to help Trump and that Trump colluded with them. There isnt any. There is not a shred, theres not a syllable, theres not a vowel, theres not a consonant of evidence. And yet we know for a fact that Ukraine did try to help Hillary sabotage Trump. Public statements about how he was unfit for office, which details and dovetails with the Hillary Clinton campaign thrust, that Trump was unfit. Heres Ukrainian officials joining in that claim.
How come nobody in the Drive-By Media picked up this story back in January? How come nobody remembers this story today? Ukraine tried to sabotage Trump, Ukraine was helping Hillary, Ukraine publicly stating Trump was unfit? So there was collusion between Ukraine, a foreign government, a foreign country. There was collusion between Ukraine and Hillary Clinton to sabotage Trump.
A Ukrainian-American operative who was consulting for the Democratic National Committee met with top officials in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington in an effort to expose ties between Trump, top campaign aide Paul Manafort and Russia, according to people with direct knowledge of the situation. The Ukrainian efforts had an impact in the race, helping to force Manaforts resignation and advancing the narrative that Trumps campaign was deeply connected to Ukraines foe to the east, Russia.
Except there wasnt any evidence. There was only a narrative. It even says that, advancing the narrative, not the story. Advancing the narrative. In other words, advancing the fiction. Isnt it amazing how evidence of genuine collusion between Hillary and Ukraine is totally forgotten, never referenced, and Ukraine backs out of it after Trump wins and begs for forgiveness because they dont want any reciprocity from Trump.
All of this, plus all of the nothing for nine months, and then this email of nothing to Trump Jr. Well, this is it Rush. This is it. Its over. Oh, my God, they got em, oh, no, I dont know if I can get up tomorrow. Its over. Why you believe this when everything for nine months prior has been an outright lie?
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: This is Dirt, the eastern shore of Maryland. Great to have you here.
CALLER: Hey, good afternoon, Mr. Limbaugh, greetings from the land of pleasant living. Dittos going back to January of 1990. I appreciate everything you do, and youve actually made The Pretenders part of the soundtrack of my life. I appreciate that.
RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.
CALLER: But I gotta tell you, I dont care. I just dont care. Anything that has the words Trump and Russia in it, even if its salad dressing, I dont care, Im immune to it. The media has cried wolf, bear, woolly mammoth so much that Im numb to it, and their credibility is zero. I dont care, it doesnt matter to me. Its summer, its beautiful out, there are things to do.
RUSH: You know, its interesting you say this, because I have to tell you, yesterday and today both, Ive been conflicted because Im not comfortable spending this much time on it. I dont like playing defense like this. Im sick of it. Im fed up playing defense. Im sick and fed up of being forced on defense with this never-ending just line of absolute garbage crap, and yet I feel a compulsion of necessity here.
But I am like you. I just think its all bogus, I think its all manufactured, I think its all concocted, and it isnt going to stop. Its not gonna end, no matter what. Theyre gonna do this all four years if they have to. Even if the Republicans win in the midterms in 2018, theyre not going to stop this. It is going to continue.
The Trump-Russia collusion story will never end. There may be and that comes along that replaces it for a while, but it will be along the same conspiratorial level. But, look, I hear you. I sit here and I ask myself, am I spending too much time defending this.
Im conflicted because I feel like theres a necessity, almost a requirement to defend it, especially this with so many now getting wobbly kneed on our side. I feel compelled here to offer up a perspective that defends it, but then Im fed up with having to do it. Not that. Im fed up with doing it. I hear you. Let me ask you a question. Youre out there listening every day. Are you getting tired of even hearing about it here, or is my unique take on it refreshing?
CALLER: Well, you know, I told Mr. Snerdley, I told him that I wanted to express to you how much I dont care, but I thought about it, and the instrument has yet to be created which could adequately measure the depths of my indifference to anything Trump-Russia. And I tuned in today for my daily dose of Rush, and I gotta be honest for you, no offense, but just for a moment I thought you were on vacation and Charlie Browns teacher was filling in as a substitute host because I know its English, but as soon as we get into that stuff its just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And it turns me off.
RUSH: Let me ask you this. Are you avoiding it because you fear its true?
CALLER: No. I dont. You know, its even beyond that. I dont care. You know, Trump let me put it this way.
RUSH: Are you telling me that even if Trump colluded, so what, you dont care?
CALLER: Define colluded. How do you define it? What, he tried to get some dirt on Hillary? Dont the candidates all do that? You know, we allow the media, we allow the left in general to define a lot of things. What do you define as colluded? They have so overplayed their hand that I remember back during the campaign, you know, Trump was filling the stadiums, people were going nuts. He was drawing crowds that havent been seen since I dont know when.
And he made a stupid joke. He made a stupid joke, something to the effect of, If I shot somebody in Times Square, my supporters, they wouldnt care. Stupid joke. And I gotta tell you, the way they overplayed it, Im getting to the point where its gonna have to be quite a corpse for me to look at if somebody reported something like that. Its just theyre looking for everything.
RUSH: Well, let me just tell you, theyre gonna keep overplaying the hand. Theres so many things about this, though. Trump did not need Russia to beat Hillary. All he needed to beat Hillary was Hillary. Hillary was pathetic! Hillary ran a horrible campaign. Nobody likes her, even the people that were gonna vote for her do not have a connection to her. It was a loyalty to something else, but not to her.
She took everything for granted. She could not state why she wanted to be elected other than it was her turn, that she was owed. And course she couldnt say that, so she had to come up with stuff that had no passion. I mean, Trump didnt need any assistance to beat her. Thats another thing, folks, that is percolating beneath this is that Trump could not have won unless he cheated. And thats just flat-out bogus as well. Trump did win, against all kinds of odds.
You look at what was arrayed against Trump, and he still overcame it. Thats what ticks them off here. Anyway. Well, I appreciate your honesty out there, Dirt. I really do. The last Dirt I knew, Dirt Winston, number 53, linebacker for the Steelers.
But she had no intent, according to Comey, so...
Dems play by different rules - no rules. Only we have to follow any rules or laws.
I saw a story 20% of Hillary’s money for her campaign was from Saudi Arabia. Obama was taking money online from all over the globe. Actual help from foreigners.
Don Jr. took a useless meeting and it’s ‘treason.’ Go figure.
PLEase send this to Rush
Endless Click-Bait for Rush Limbaugh’s blog.
Let’s ask McCain to add the Ukrane to the Russian sanctions bill. Along with China, which has escaped sanctions for an earlier hack. And add the USA, which, under the Obama regime, interfered with Israel’s election.
Bernie.....
Man did he F-up comparing health care bill with 9-11.
Ahole.
I don't think many (or any) of Trump's jokes are stupid. I remember one where he joked that the Russians should hack Hillary's server and release the 30,000 emails. At that point she had already wiped the server (with a cloth). But today Adam Schiff (D-unhinged) said that Trump's request (a joke but Schiff has no sense of humor) to Russia to hack Hillary (a lie) was part of Trump Jr's collusion (meaning: nothingburger) with the Russian government agent (meaning: not an agent).
I can't wait for Trump's next tweet. It will be humor and Schiff will rant and rave and deem it an admission of guilt.
Did you expect that socialist not to F-up? I didn’t think so
Well the left is totally unhinged like a certain....
Did you expect that socialist not to F-up? I didnt think so
Exactly right. As if the families haven’t been through enough.
D***_head.
Say it loud
Say it loud...
