Was Trump the Motivation Behind the Weinstein Story?
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | December 12, 2017 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 12/12/2017 5:47:13 PM PST by Kaslin

RUSH: Do you remember back when the Weinstein story broke in the New York Times we were all saying, “Why? Why now? Just ’cause Hillary lost? But what brought this about?” People said, “He’s lost his power in D.C., and he’s been hated for so long, and now people finally have a chance, and Ronan Farrow was…” Maybe we were all wrong. Maybe the reason it was time for Weinstein to finally be outed was because it triggered all of this. Let’s go to the audio sound bites. Capitol Hill this afternoon, 69 members of Congress. Lois Frankel (our former almost-mayor here) held a press conference.

FRANKEL: The “me too” movement as arrived. Sexual abuse will not be tolerated, whether it’s by a Hollywood producer, the chef of a restaurant, a member of Congress, or the president of the United States. No man or woman is above the law.

RUSH: Okay, and here’s more from Ms. Frankel who once asked me to pose for a photo in a restaurant here and then snuck outside and went around the corner to the Sprinkles Ice Cream store. Q&A. “Would this be an impeachable offense?”

FRANKEL: I think we have to see what we, uhhhh, learn. I think certainly crimes — uh, violations of the law can lead to that.

LAWRENCE: And history has shown us that we impeach a president for inappropriate sexual behavior in the past. (sic) So I would say history answers that question.

RUSH: That’s not what happened. That’s Brenda Lawrence, Democrat, Michigan. Clinton was not impeached for sex. He was impeached for lying to a grand jury. See, these people don’t even know that. These are members of Congress; they don’t even know what Slick Willie was literally impeached over. He was impeached because of Peyronie’s Disease with Paula Jones. Wasn’t what it was. “History as shown us that we impeached a president for inappropriate sexual behavior.” No, we didn’t. Maybe we should have gone that way, but we didn’t. Dummkopf.

Anyway, there’s one more of these but as is the usual case, I’m out of time right now.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: No, no. I remember speculating when the Weinstein story dropped that it might be ultimately aimed at Trump, but back then I did not envision the full strategy that we now see being implemented. Just makes you wonder what happened to the Russian collusion, the Russian hack story. Almost kind of makes you long for it

My initial thought was this was aimed at the Clintons, first and foremost. A lot of people were PO’d she stole the nomination from Bernie and then went on to lose the election. There is a battle for control of the DNC. Getting President Trump was a secondary objective. So far the biggest impact has been the collateral damage inflicted, mostly on Dems. Play with fire, get burned.

Trump defended Clinton during his scandals and attacked Republicans. He had Bill and Hillary come to his third wedding. He turned on them when he ran for president and even invited Bill’s victims to one of the Hillary/Trump debates. So it seems to me it’s all part and parcel in the same clique.

Woody Allen was the motivation behind Farrow’s expose, but the Democrats figured a way to tie it to Trump and ran with it.

Yeah I agree, this is not some grand scheme. Sure they can act like total criminals and double down on all the cover ups, like the who Mueller-Russia farce, but usually they either use decades old playbooks, or start flinging anything against a wall until it sticks.

I think this started out with Bill Cosby and a few others in entertainment. Then the dems tried to use it to get Bill O'Reilly, Roger Ailes, and anyone else at Fox.

Old democrats have let all this slide since the Kennedys and beyond. But new millennials have been indoctrinated in liberal think and people like Ronan Farrow had a story, even though old dems at NBC spiked his story.

So its blowback.

Pelosi was both sexist and racist regarding the predation scandals in Congress, recall how she derided the victims of John Conyers, realized how stupid her error was, then turned on him, but didn't turn on Franken? THAT is what suppressed black voter turnout in Alabama, what a stooge.

I agree...there has never been any far reaching plot. all there is on the democrat side is the drowning man that is grabbing at everything and anything in an attempt to save them selves. Weinstein got caught on tape committing a crime and failed to cover it up. All that has happened is the democrat party is struggling to turn there dirty laundry into everyone’s dirty laundry in hopes to wounding president Trump enough to take him out politically. I give it till march and they will use some other thing as a reason to get rid of trump.
