RUSH: Everybody who knows me is asking, "What is with this Hillary e-mail stuff? Top Secret stuff, Rush? What's going on here?" The New York Times has a story that says she's under investigation by virtue of leaks, and then the Department of Justice says, "No, it's not true," and the New York Times walks it back. But it was true. I tell you what I think. I think this is big. I think this is problematic for her. I think she's got two problems today.
She's got this e-mail server problem, and she's also got the polling data in New Hampshire. Have you seen this? Bernie Sanders is surging. He is up seven points over Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, 44-37. This is starting to be a replay of 2008, folks. It's just amazing here. I tell you, I said yesterday -- I was making a joke! You know, I was being jocular yesterday and laughing and chuckling here saying that it's not Bernie Sanders' overwhelmingly popular personality and charisma that's generating all the support. It's that people hate Hillary.
You go back to 2008, and maybe what's the common denominator is someone steals the coronation from Hillary Clinton. Here comes Bernie Sanders really, really out of nowhere, and he's surging ahead of Hillary, and what's the common denominator in this is Hillary. It seems like the only people who haven't gotten the message that she is to be coronated is Democrat voters. And then you have the e-mail problem over here.
I think... You know, I just got my formerly nicotine-stained fingers on the actual release statement from the inspectors general of the intelligence community. When you read this and hear this being discussed on TV and so forth -- which I shall share with you in moments -- the money stuff from this is potentially really serious stuff. I mean, we now have the specter, the uniqueness of a candidate for the presidency under criminal investigation. We just haven't been here before.
Now, I'm gonna scattershot this before I come back here and assemble it all together, 'cause I'm trying to answer a bunch of questions people have asked me randomly. "Rush, why did they wait so long to get the server? I mean, why'd they wait? Normally, wouldn't the FBI van be over at her house with a search warrant and just grab that server once the allegation has been made that there are classified, Top Secret documents on that server? What is this waiting around for her to turn it over stuff?"
You know, it's hard to say definitively, philosophical explanation for how the Department of Justice operates because this one's run by Obama. And so that means it's been profoundly politicized. But in a normal ebb and flow of things, Department of Justice lawyers and even district the United States attorneys have -- at least judging by recent experience -- been reluctant to hand down indictments or announce charges during a campaign because they don't want to be accused of politicizing.
They wait until after an election, and then they dump what they've got. They announce charges, file an indictment, hand one up, whatever. The reason is, they don't want to be accused of entering the political process and affecting the outcome. Now, that's DOJs prior to Obama. We don't know what this DOJ is... Well, we do. We know that this DOJs been entirely politicized, and so that theory could be out the window with this the Department of Justice.
It's kind of like these two guys, Heilemann and Halperin. They write these books during the campaign and they hold everything they learn until after the election in order to sell their book. But if they released what they'd learned, and some of it's blockbuster stuff, it would have affected the outcome of elections. And we've always said, "Why are you holding it, guys? You're journalists! You're finding out things, and you're keeping it from the voters."
Hillary could have twins by the leader if ISIS, and her crowd would still vote for her.
No s__t Dick tracy.
You might not want to dance on Ms Hillary’s grave quite yet.
First, she could survive and come on strong.
Second, she could be replaced by someone far more to the left than her or Obama, and that person could win. Happy days.
Hopes springs eternal
Hillary could be in trouble only if The Sultan has decided he does not want her to be the next President. If he wanted her to win the nomination and thus the election the JD, including the FBI would sit on its hands. I think the Clintons and the Sultan represent the two most powerful factions in The Party and are jockeying here for power or continued power..
Someone probably addressed this elsewhere, but I haven’t heard it. Why isn’t anybody really talking about Hillary’s susceptibility to Blackmail. Either by Hacker’s or email recipients or sender’s.
I believe her OWN party is trying to remove her from the stage as gracefully as possible before it’s too late.
If Hillary gets the nod, you can bet your ass people who staid home last time would be out in droves to vote against her.
If there is one thing I've learned in watching the Clintons for 20+ years, that is it. Never, ever, ever underestimate these people. And never, ever, assume that they are in trouble. Even (especially) if, by all accounts, they should be.
Her crowd would rather vote for Bernie or Liz Warren.
That’s the problem.
You awlays won, every time you placed a bet,
You're still damn good, no one's gotten to you yet.
Every time they were sure they had you caught,
you were quicker than they thought,
you just turned your back and walked...
Picking on a grandmother. You should be ashamed of yourself Rush Limbaugh.
I’ll believe it when she says “This is all a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”.
Yeah. From calling “them” feminazis” to waging a war on women and now a war on grannies. Shame shame shame. :>}
She will never be POTUS.
She reminds every divorced guy of his ex-wife........................
Despite the acknowledgment, the State Department inspector general’s office has left numerous unanswered questions, including exactly who and what is being investigated. The office initially declined to comment and referred questions to the Intelligence Community inspector general’s office, which said it is not currently involved in any inquiry into aides and is being denied full access to aides’ emails by the State Department. Clinton, herself, is not a target. (emphasis mine)Hillary and Obama are probably working on a deal furiously right now, so that THEY will push the narrative of 'This opens the possibility investigators may find that Hillary has been the trusting victim of designing underlings.' How many times we have seen these 'plausible deniability' excuses before? Any Hillary's close associates should be prepared to fall on their swords. How's that Clinton Body Count again?
Yada yada yada.
Hitlery will never be in trouble and prosecuted for anything, unless she one day wakes up in the morning with a wild hair up her a$$ and suddenly decides to affix an (R) after her name
My apologies.
A cultural habit that make my trigger finger itch. ;-D
