The Cohen Show Kicks Off the 2020 Campaign
Feb 26, 2019
RUSH: The Drive-By Media is obsessed with The Rat, Michael Cohen, coming up to Congress to testify for three days. Or I guess it’s two days. Well, it’s three days, and two of the three days are gonna be in secret.
The Drive-Bys are just salivating because they believe that Michael Cohen, who used to be Trump’s fixer, is going to testify under oath that Donald Trump engaged in criminal activity in the White House. This is supposed to be the big bombshell news of the day. And we’ve never heard it claimed before that Trump committed crimes while in the White House, right?
Now, there’s one simple reaction to this. This is all bogus! If Trump had committed crimes with all of these freaking investigations going on, there would have been charges already. “But, Rush, but, Rush, what about the fact you can’t indict a sitting president?†We’re not talking about indicting. We’re talking about leveling charges. The SDNY could say we’ve got data, we’ve got evidence, we’re gonna wait ’til the president leaves office.
If Cohen had given them absolute evidence of criminal behavior by the president, he would have already been charged with it. Or the Drive-Bys would say charges are imminent or something. They’re bringing Cohen up for something entirely different. That’s what they’re saying it’s for. But do not doubt me. If he had anything that was legitimate here with the desire and the passion and the singular focus these people have of getting rid of Trump, we would already know about it.
If you read the Wall Street Journal article which all of this anticipation is based on, if you read the Wall Street Journal article reporting all of this, the only crime, quote, unquote, is said to have something to do with Trump paying Stormy Daniels. That’s how old this is! And I guess the new twist is that Trump paid Stormy Daniels, the well-known porn star, while he was in the office. Here’s the thing. Paying a blackmailer is not illegal. Even if this is true, it’s not illegal to pay a blackmailer. Blackmailing is illegal. It could be said to be extortion.
I think all this is is an effort to give Cohen more attention. I think it’s an effort to get more people to tune in to Cohen’s testimony on Wednesday. That’s when he’s going to supposedly accuse Trump of being a liar and a racist and trying to avoid paying more than he had to in taxes. By the way, there’s a story in the Stack today that an IRS employee leaked Michael Cohen’s taxes to the media. Some deranged left-wing lunatic in there, it’s hard not to find a government agency that hasn’t been corrupted. When you put liberals in these places, liberals corrupt.
And I’ll tell you this. You know, the left, since there’s no Russian collusion and since there never was any Russian collusion, one of the things that they’ve always salivated over is Trump’s tax returns, right? They think in Trump’s tax returns there will be evidence of some kind of nefarious activity between Trump and the Russians. These people, I know what they think. They think Trump has been bankrupt over and over again, that the Russians and Vladimir Putin bailed him out with Deutsche Bank acting as the intermediary. That’s what they think. And the think Trump’s tax returns will prove this.
Now, if Trump’s tax returns have that kind of dynamite in it, I cannot see how it would not have leaked so far. You know that there has to be in the IRS, there have to be, just using the law of averages, there have to be left wingers in there who despise Donald Trump. And there have to be people in there who have, because they have certain clearance, looked at Trump’s tax returns. We know this even though we don’t know it. We know it because of the corruption that exists wherever liberals are.
So we know somebody in there has seen those tax returns. Do you find it hard to believe that if they found something really juicy, that nobody in there would have leaked it to, say, MSNBC or CNN or the New York Times or the Washington Post? Like this Cohen business. If what Cohen has is really evidence of a crime, it wouldn’t – I mean, here’s a guy who is going to jail in two months for, among other things, lying to Congress! And they’re bringing him back as some kind of star witness who somehow has evidence of criminal activity on the part of the president in the White House.
I suspect there’s none of that that’s true. But this is the news that’s out there. These people know how to use headlines. “Cohen Will Assert Trump Committed Crimes While In Office.†That’s all they need. They don’t need any evidence. They don’t need any follow-up. They just need that headline and have it go around the world, have it show up on all of these social media sites, Yahoo News and wherever, and people are gonna think that Trump committed some kind of crime, even though there’s been no the charge and there’s no evidence whatsoever.
Then they create all this interest in Cohen’s testimony on Wednesday where he’s basically gonna go in and talk about what a reprobate Trump is. That’s the — I don’t know — the headline of all of this. I think this week begins the show, the never-ending now, on display, full-fledged Democrat obsession with getting Donald Trump via investigation, via committee, via hearings. Today, this week begins the nonstop investigation, slash, hearings, slash, committees, all the way through the 2020 campaign. So I think you’d better steel yourselves, you’d better get ready, because this begins it.
