The Pajama Boy Whistleblower Revealed

Oct 31, 2019



RUSH: We know the whistleblower’s name. I told you yesterday we knew the whistleblower’s name. The whistleblower is a Pajama Boy Trump-Brennan supporter. The guy was a plant in the White House by the CIA to do exactly what he did. We know his name. He’s one of a dime-a-dozen Yale or Harvard graduates, literally a 30-year-old Pajama Boy doing the bidding of John Brennan in the White House.

So we can expose the whistleblower and everything about him, which we’ll do during the unfolding of the today’s program.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: RUSH: This whistleblower… He’s not a whistleblower! This is another thing. This guy’s a leaker! He’s not a whistleblower! His name is Eric Ciaramella. He’s 30-some-odd years old. I’ve got a picture. It looks like the Pajama Boy in the Obama ad that they ran back during, I think, the first term.

“Federal documents reveal that the 33-year-old Ciaramella, a registered Democrat held over from the Obama White House…” Why the hell was he still there? What do you mean, “held over”? This guy… I’ve probably seen this guy there. I’ve been to the Oval Office two or three times since Trump’s been president. I’ve been in the West Wing. I’ve probably seen this guy slithering around. It never even registered. Next time I go, I’m gonna keep a sharp eye for people I think might be John Brennan holdover plants, ’cause they’re obviously slithering all over the place.

Slinking, slithering, whatever you want to say. But that’s not even half the story. The so-called whistleblower, is 33 years old, “a registered Democrat [Can anybody say “partisan”?] held over from the Obama White House, previously worked with former Vice President Joe Biden and former CIA Director John Brennan…” He is “a vocal critic of Trump” who did you know what else? This guy “helped initiate the Russia ‘collusion’ investigation” which was a nothing burger!

This guy was involved from the get-go, starting in 2016, doing John Brennan’s bidding from the West Wing on furthering the whole Trump-Russia collusion operation of which there wasn’t one! As per the esteemed Robert J. Mueller XIV or whatever Robert J. Mueller he is.  So this Pajama Boy — and they don’t want us to know who he is for these obvious reasons.  Now Schiff and his buddies are saying, “Well, we don’t need to know the young whistleblower’s identity. We don’t really need to hear from the whistleblower.”

Of course we don’t now — and everybody has known who this guy is for weeks, folks.  Trump has known, Trump’s aides in the White House. Everybody has known who this guy is.  For some reason beyond me, his name didn’t leak, and that’s a classic illustration of the swamp protecting itself.  There’s another reason.  Nobody would be impressed by this guy.  He’s a kid — and I don’t mean to be insulting 30-year-olds. Do not misunderstand me here.

But he’s not… When you hear “CIA agent,” “embedded CIA agent,” you think, “Spy, national security!” You think “grizzled veteran,” not somebody who doesn’t shave but twice a week.  He’d be totally unimpressive as an image witness.  He’s a left-wing government leech!  Ciaramella is.  He hates Trump.  He loves Obama.  He’s from the Ivy League.  They’re a dime a dozen in government.  The Ivy League is a factory for these kinds of guys.

“Fearing their anonymous witness could be exposed, Democrats this week blocked Republicans from asking more questions about him and intend to redact his name from all deposition transcripts.”  Too late.  Everybody knows who he is.  And then Vindman… Vindman is from the same pedigree.  They’re all part of the CIA or the John Brennan bunch.  John Brennan, Obama’s CIA director, is the puppet master for all of this — and these guys are feeling their oats now.  They came out, they sat down, and they had an appearance at the National Press Club last night that C-SPAN televised.

We have some audio sound bites.  They’re really feeling their oats.  They’re now bragging they’re from the deep state and they’re doing the Lord’s work, and thank God for the deep state.  The deep state is protecting…what? The American people from the American people!  The deep state is making sure that when you don’t do what they think you should do, they’re gonna undo it, which is all this is.  I don’t mean to minimize it.  This isn’t about impeachable offenses.

It’s just the latest in a never-ending line of efforts the Democrats are making to get rid of Donald Trump by way of overturning the election results of 2016.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH:  So the whistleblower — just to get back to him for a brief moment. His name is Ciaramella. He was kicked out of the White House for leaking negative stories about Donald Trump.  He was kicked out.  He’s the whistleblower.  He did not hear the phone call.  Vindman told him about the phone call.  This whole thing is a setup.  The whole thing is a manufactured setup. The whistleblower had been kicked out of the White House.  Now, there’s another theory why Pelosi pulled the trigger now.

I’ll leave it up to you to figure out whether this has any weight or not. One of the ongoing theories is the reason she pulled the trigger and had this vote now is because this may be the peak of this.  This may be the last, best chance they’re gonna have at this because the identity of the whistleblower is out. And once that spreads and people get an idea of who this guy is — got kicked out of the White House for leaking, is a John Brennan-Obama plant — the weight his work here has been given will diminish.  Pelosi wants to max out on it at the best time she can.

So that’s another ongoing theory as to why they called for the vote this week.

How to Respond to the Democrats

Oct 31, 2019



RUSH: We have the official vote in the House that happened about a half hour ago to formalize the inquiry. There still aren’t any articles of impeachment, and the Republicans have their way of dealing with this. Been studying it and watching it.

The thing that you have to keep in mind, folks, and flashbacks are relevant in one sense. Both Pelosi and Adam Schiff, within the past nine months, both vociferously said that they didn’t want to do impeachment. Now, I didn’t believe them when they said it. It doesn’t matter what I believe. They said it. I think they said it to set everybody up. I think they’re trying to set the table, “No, no, no, we don’t want to impeach, we have no desire to impeach.”

They’ve wanted to impeach since Trump was elected. They’ve wanted to get rid of him and that’s all this is since election night of 2016. You could say the reason why this is important, they won the House because of the Mueller witch hunt, folks. They won the House. A bunch of Republicans retired in fear or because they were gonna lose their committee chairmanships. Fifty-five Republicans retired in 2018 because they bought into the notion to one degree or another that all hell was gonna break loose, and they didn’t want to be in the minority, and so they had a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But you have to say that the Democrats won the House based on this whole manufactured nothing that was the Mueller investigation. And they’re trying to do it again with this Ukraine thing. Now they’re trying to win the presidency, all of it aimed at getting rid of Donald Trump with yet another hoax or witch hunt or what have you.

So the argument has now settled on how should the Republicans deal with this? Should they deal with it by criticizing the process? Should they deal with it on the substance? Should it be a combination of both? ‘Cause they’re gonna have to deal with it. You can’t beat this back by telling everybody what a nerd and an idiot and a dishonest guy Schiff is. It isn’t gonna work. You can’t beat this back by trying to tell everybody that Nancy Pelosi’s mean and is a partisan.

It’s Washington. The Democrats don’t like us. They don’t want us around. They won the House of Representatives. They get to determine what an impeachable offense is. If they want to impeach Trump for eating a ham sandwich on a Jewish holiday, they can do it. And it’s silly to try to beat it back on that basis. It can be part of the recipe, but it shouldn’t be the entire focus. I think too many people lose sight of what this is.

There’s a danger in suggesting that we need to respond on substance because responding on substance thereby validates their premise. It validates their allegations. But you have to do it to some extent. I’ll give you an example. I’ll give you an example of how to respond to this. Mike Pompeo did it last. He was on the Fox News Channel.

Now, what’s Trump supposedly in trouble for? Well, because he called the president of Ukraine, and the story is that he threatened to withhold aid unless the president of Ukraine dug up dirt on Biden and his kid. Forget, that’s not what happened on the call, but that’s what the story is and that’s what the media narrative is, and that’s what most people are gonna hear.

That’s not what happened on the phone call, and the bottom line is that no aid was denied. Ukraine got its aid, and there still has not been a Ukrainian investigation of Biden and his kid! So if that’s what Trump wanted, there could not have been a quid pro quo because Trump hasn’t gotten what he asked for. But Ukraine has. Ukraine got their money. Ukraine got their aid. Far as I know, they haven’t dug up any dirt on Biden and his kid.

Well, now, when did Ukraine not get its money? Well, the answer to that’s Barack Hussein Obama. You remember the United States has had a mutual defense treaty with Ukraine. One of the things that we did during the Obama years, we demanded Ukraine and Crimea — they’re kind of lumped in together — disarm. In exchange for that, we would defend them if Trump and the Russians ever attacked ’em. I’m being snarky, of course. I shouldn’t play around with this. People are gonna misunderstand. Trump had nothing to do attacking, okay? I’m just making a mockery of their allegation that Trump’s aligned with Russia.

So the Obama administration denied all aid to Ukraine! Yet Trump is on the verge of being impeached for having a so-called quid pro quo, but they got their aid. They got the military aid, they got the deals that we had made with ’em. They were honored. Who denied Ukraine aid? Barack Hussein Obama! All that Obama’s administration gave Ukraine was meals ready to eat, MREs, and a bunch of blankets and pillows. I mean, Obama didn’t even send ’em doctors and nurses and clean water.

And so Pompeo was asked, “Why didn’t the Obama administration send Ukraine the money that was promised?” He said, “I don’t know. Maybe because of Hunter Biden.” Wait. Wait. Maybe because of Hunter Biden? What? So I’m guessing Pompeo didn’t want to go on the record with the “why” but the fact of the matter is if you go with this on substance, there isn’t any. Trump didn’t withhold any aid. And Trump has not gotten whatever these whistleblowers were so upset about. As far as I know there hasn’t been any information from Ukraine to Trump on Biden and his kid.

Yet Ukraine has got its money. Obama didn’t give Ukraine aid as contractually agreed to. Pompeo said, “Well, I’m guessing it might be because of Hunter Biden.” Hunter Biden? So you know what that means? What Pompeo’s saying without saying it is that any aid from the United States to Ukraine, some of it would have ended up with Hunter Biden and that company Burisma. For some reason, Obama didn’t want to go there because he didn’t want to red flag it. So there wasn’t any aid sent, which means that the Bidens were in on the back end of any aid.

Well, there’s the substance — and on the substance, there’s nothing impeachable here.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: And as long as there remains a reluctance to defend Trump, the longer this thing is gonna go on.  And, you know, there are starting to be cracks in the dike.  I’m reading things where people are saying, “Well, you know what?  Republicans are gonna have to make up their minds whether they’re gonna fish or cut bait.”  They’re already…

People are suggesting that Republicans better make plans for the future and arrive at a theoretical point in the future where they abandon Trump.  This is some of the advice that’s coming now, because one of the popular bits of conventional wisdom is: The reason why Pelosi and Schiff, who they said months ago were not in favor of impeachment, now are… Pelosi didn’t want to vote for impeachment because of the new members of her caucus that were elected in Trump districts.  She didn’t want to put them at risk.

She didn’t want to put her House majority at risk. So she didn’t want to go for impeachment.  Now all of that’s out the window.  So something has changed to make Pelosi go ahead and do this today, and it’s one of two things — and maybe there are other options. It’s either she’s lost control to the mad demands of her fringe base, or they think they have something else. Remember, we never know everything.  So it’s entirely possible that Schiff and Pelosi have what they think is another bombshell that’s gonna destroy Trump just waiting for the right time for them to announce it or unload it.

And that the fact that they think they have this has given them confidence to go ahead and call for the official inquiry vote today, because they now no longer fear losing elections in Trump districts.  Now, I think that is something that Pelosi and her leadership are trying to push with the media.  I think all of this continues to be an illusion.  There isn’t an impeachable offense as people would think of it.  Now, again, the Democrats who run the House can say anything is an impeachable offense.  They can go for this for any reason they want.

And I’m not exaggerating.  “High crimes and misdemeanors” is a wide-open, waiting-to-be-defined claim by any House in any year.  This is a total House of Representatives move, as an institution.  So the Republicans in the House have decided that one of the ways to beat this back is to complain that they’re not being treated fairly, that they’re not being allowed in the committee hearings, that they’re not being allowed to ask questions, and that Schiff is telling witnesses not to answer various questions — which nobody’s seeing.

Nobody is seeing that happen.  Nobody is seeing this unfairness of Adam Schiff.  What they are seeing is Republicans complain about it.  I don’t know about you, folks, but how do you respond to whining?  Does it compel you?  Does it infuriate you?  Does it make you want to join forces with whoever it is that’s whining?  Or is your reaction, “Grow up!”  Because after all, elections have consequences.  This is what happens when you elect Democrats.  This ought to be the message.  Why is it so hard to defend Donald Trump?

It’s not hard to defend Donald Trump because, in the process, we’re defending ourselves. We’re defending ourselves. We’re defending everybody that voted for him because that’s who’s really under attack.  Trump is a transient figure.  He’s only gonna be here, maximum, eight years.  People that voted for him are gonna go on and on and on and hopefully grow and grow and grow.  The attack on Donald Trump… He’s a surrogate for their hatred for us. And our unwillingness — not mine, of course.

But the people I’m referring to, their unwillingness to defend Trump is the same as being unable to defend their voters.  Steve Scalise was responding. “He said this is Soviet-style…” He had a poster out there when he was speaking on the floor of the House: “Soviet-style tactics.”  You know, I know how rotten the Soviet Union was, and that didn’t play with me — and I’m thinking of the polls: 30% of Millennials want communism.

Seventy percent of Millennials think socialism’s okay. So you throw a poster at ’em saying “Soviet style” and you may get some supporting the movement, because Soviet style may not be that bad a deal to some of these young people.  But who knows what Soviet style is? We had the… It took us 30 years to educate people on what Soviet style was, and it still took the Berlin Wall falling to defeat them.  Their own implosion is what defeated them, not our persuasive rhetoric.

CNN Goes to Pittsburgh, Can’t Find Impeachment Fervor

Oct 31, 2019



RUSH: Let’s grab sound bites 12, 13, and 14. CNN did it again. They sent a reporter. They got a visa, they got a reporter to get a visa and they sent this reporter to Pittsburgh, the country of Pittsburgh.

They wanted to find out what the natives thought about what’s going on in Washington, D.C. They sent National Correspondent Miguel Marquez to go talk to voters outside Pittsburgh and take their temperature on the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump. And here is the first sound bite.

MARQUEZ: What do you think of impeachment?

JAMES DILLIE: It’s bull.

MARQUEZ: (voiceover) James Dillie, a coal miner and his stepson Roc Dabney are huge supporters of the president, proudly displaying Trump flags like this one. They see impeachment as Democrats trying to reverse the outcome of 2016.

JAMES DILLIE: I think they’re just head hunting. They’re mad they lost and just trying to get him out.

ROC DABNEY: The Democrats, they’re just like grabbing for straws really.

MARQUEZ: (transition to William and Jacquelyn Krachala) You voted for Donald trump, you voted for Hillary Clinton. Has anything changed?

JACQUELYN KRACHALA: No!

WILLIAM KRACHALA: I think he’s a crook.

MARQUEZ: Jacquelyn couldn’t be clearer on impeachment.

JACQUELYN KRACHALA: Well, that’s ridiculous.

MARQUEZ: (voiceover) Bill, a lifelong Republican is as opposed as ever to Donald Trump. But impeachment?

WILLIAM KRACHALA: I don’t know whether impeachment would solve anything or not, it just would create a lot of upheaval. But I’m hoping to hell that he gets elected out of office.

RUSH: All right. Now, you look at this in one way, CNN if they could, would have nothing but, “Yeah, impeach him, get rid of him yesterday, get rid of him tomorrow, I can’t stand the guy!” Their ideal would be to be able to go find a bunch of Trump voters who’ve had it, don’t like the guy, think CNN is the gospel, yes, get rid of him. They couldn’t find any. How do we know they couldn’t find any? ‘Cause they didn’t put them in these sound bites, didn’t put them in these reports. Here’s the next sound bite of Miguel Marquez reporting about what voters outside of Pittsburgh think of impeachment.

MARQUEZ: Cody Spence, a registered Democrat in 2016, was struggling to pay for healthcare. Today his financial situation has improved. He credits Donald Trump.

SPENCE: I don’t think at this point that there is a reason to impeach him. You get some hard evidence that the people of the country can see, that’s a different story.

MARQUEZ: (voiceover) Some moderates question the wisdom of an impeachment fight now.

SUSAN LUISI: Well, we’ve already gone pretty far into this presidency. So do we really want to spend the last time of it impeaching someone who may or may not be elected again?

RUSH: Yeah, that’s gonna be a recurring theme. Let the American people decide. What’s wrong with that? These people are not gonna trust that. That’s what happened in 2016. The American people decided the wrong way. That’s what they’re trying to fix! That’s what they’re trying to reverse! That’s what they’re trying to throw out!

In the meantime, nothing is being done on things that actually matter to people. And remember, more and more Americans, whether this is good or bad, irrelevant for this discussion, more and more Americans think government’s role is to make life easier for ’em. Government’s role is to fix the cost of health care and the availability. Government’s role is to lower the price of prescription drugs. Government’s role is made up of things like this. And none of that is happening while the Democrats are solely focused on this.

So you ask another question, or at least I do. The Democrats are not connecting, at least with the people that CNN dredged up in the foreign country of Pittsburgh. They’re not connecting. Even the people that hate Trump. So what are the Democrats doing? In other words, who is the audience for what the Democrats are doing?

Do you think these people know about the whistleblower? Do you think they’ve heard his name? Do you think they know the whistleblower’s a Pajama Boy from Harvard? Do you think they know that the whistleblower came from John Brennan and the CIA as an Obama holdover? Do you think they know this? No! Nobody’s reported that until today. They don’t know diddly-squat about it.

Yet the media has sung the praises of the whistleblower, “Oh, we must listen! Oh, we must preserve his identity.  Oh, this man is a godsend.  Oh, this man is exactly why we have people in government doing the Lord’s work,” blah, blah, blah.  Who is the media’s audience for this?  It’s not… Contrary to what people might think, it’s actually not the American people.  They are not attempting to literally inform the American people.  They’re trying to hoodwink them!

They’re using the grandiose nature of “process” to try to sway people. (dramatic voice) “This is big!  Donald Trump is bad.  Donald Trump is dangerous.  We’ve got people all over the government standing up privately, anonymously, saying, ‘Donald Trump is bad.'”  But they don’t dare put a name to whoever’s doing it.  They don’t dare try to persuade with the reputation of the guy.  They don’t dare tell the American people who this person is and where this person came from and with whom this person has worked for most of his time in Washington.

Oh, no! They don’t dare do any of that.

So who is their audience?  Their audience, folks… Let me tell you who they’re trying to bamboozle.  The Republicans.  As is always the case, they’re attempting to intimidate and frighten and dispirit the Republicans in Washington.  That’s where this ammunition is being fired.  And when they start to see Republicans in Washington say, “You know, the Republicans better get ready here.  They better have a plan down the road where if this and this and that happens, they gotta be prepared to abandon Trump.”

That’s what they’re trying to do here, folks, and that’s what happens when you make the mistake of accepting their premise instead of not accepting the premise and throwing the charge right back at them that they are the ones who are illegitimate, that they are the ones thwarting the will of the American people, not Donald Trump, that they are the ones not doing the work they were elected to do.  They are not representing the American people.  They are not in the slightest bit interested in the American people, in truth.

They want people to believe they’re doing this “for the American people for the sake of the Constitution, for the sake of the country.”  They’re doing everything for the sake of themselves! They’re spending taxpayer dollars on themselves, because they can’t believe the guy beat them.  They can’t believe they still haven’t been able to get rid of him.  They are doing as much of this behind closed doors as they can, because they don’t actually have faith and confidence that the case they’re making would persuade the American people.

Thus, they have to create this gigantic, grandiose illusion that all of Washington is alarmed. (dramatic voice) “All of Washington is at a feverish pitch! The country is in a very precarious position with Donald Trump in the White House. Drastic action — immediate drastic action — is necessary!”  This is what they’re attempting to create, and their audience — the Democrat audience and the media audience — is the Republicans.  Now, don’t misunderstand.  Of course they know they’re gonna need public opinion, ultimately.

But, my friends, I don’t think they care ultimately.  They’re gonna go through with this regardless where public opinion is because they’re now committed to it.  The fact of the matter is the people in our government who do not care about public opinion are precisely the Democrat Party and the American left. They are the people who govern against the will of the American people.  You didn’t want Obamacare and you didn’t want to lose your doctor. You didn’t want to lose your coverage and you didn’t want to pay a bigger premium.

But all of those happened even after you were lied to about ’em.  These are the people governing against the will of the people.  This is my message, anyway.  These are the people thwarting the will of the people.  These are the people not interested at all in the will of the American people.  They are arrogant, condescending superiorists who, in truth, don’t think you or anybody else in America has the slightest sense to run your own life and to make your own political decisions

A Former Never Trumper Who Now Loves Him

Oct 31, 2019

RUSH: Joan in Sebastian, Florida, great to have you on the EIB Network.  Hello.

CALLER:  Hi, Rush.  I’ve been listening since 1992 —

RUSH:  Thank you.

CALLER: — and went to Dan’s Bake Sale. (chuckles) Anyway, I am a Never Trumper — I was a Never Trumper, let me put it that way — and I did not vote for him.

RUSH:  Wait a minute.  Wait a minute.  Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.  You are a listener since ’92, you went to Dan’s Bake Sale, and you were a Never Trumper?

CALLER:  Yeah.

RUSH:  Did you ever think of stopping listening to me?  Because I’ve never been a Never Trumper.

CALLER:  Yeah.  You know what?  We were out of the country for five weeks during 2016 —

RUSH:  Oh, a convenient excuse.  Okay.

CALLER:  — and I didn’t listen to you during those five weeks, and I didn’t miss you because I was a Ted Cruz supporter, and I was pretty disgusted with the way you were supporting Trump.

RUSH:  Yeah.

CALLER:  Anyway, I love him. I love him now and what he’s been doing, and I am one of his biggest defenders. (chuckling)

RUSH:  Now, that has to be… For you, the way you’ve phrased it, that’s a big transformation: Love Cruz, mad at me for not being for Cruz, hated Trump. Now all of a sudden, you’re a big Trump supporter. Quickly, in five seconds, what do you think of this impeachment thing?  Yes or no?

CALLER:  Oh, no.  It’s terrible.  Everybody I know is disgusted by it.

RUSH:  There you go.  Thank you.  Well said.  Brevity is the soul of wit.

The Democrats’ Articles of Impeachment

Oct 31, 2019

RUSH: The current issue of The Limbaugh Letter just dropped. Of course, as the editor, writer, and publisher, I have an advanced copy. And I want to share — normally I would not do this. Normally I would not read anything from the newsletter because then you wouldn’t have to go subscribe to it. But I want to share with you something we did in the issue just coming out today.



We prepared, because we were prescient, we knew this day was coming. We took a flier and a wild guess that it would come during the month of this current issue. So we prepared the Democrats’ articles of impeachment. They haven’t done this yet. That won’t happen — and they’re committed now, folks. This will probably happen around Christmastime. That’s the timeline. They may make it; they may not.

But they’re all-in now on this being their campaign issue for next year. And, of course, they’ve got a lot of senators that are running for the presidency, running for the Democrat nomination who might be sidelined legally because they’re part of the jury, so they may not be permitted to campaign at the same time. They may not be able to legally to talk about this impeachment as they campaign.

I don’t know if there’s been any coordination with the presidential candidates or not, but this is obviously their 2020 election issue. So if you’re gonna impeach Trump, here are the Democrat articles of impeachment.

Under Donald Trump, the United States has added 6.4 million jobs, including 500,000 manufacturing jobs. Under Donald Trump, poverty is at its lowest level in 20 years. Median family income has risen $5,000 in less than three years.

Under Donald Trump, by rolling back taxes and regulations Trump engineered historically low unemployment with surging wages for all, including women and minorities. This is deeply embarrassing to Democrats who promised their constituencies these things 50 years ago and have yet to deliver.

Article two. Donald Trump has rebuilt the once depleted U.S. military into the most powerful fighting force in history. He is removing the United States from ancient tribal conflicts in the Middle East while supporting Israel. Again, things the Democrats have promised their voters they would do the last 50 years.

Article three of the Democrats’ articles of impeachment. Donald Trump has restructured unfair trade deals and global agreements. Trump has leveraged U.S. economic might to reset America’s relationship with the ChiComs so that we win and they lose. And when communists lose, it’s not helpful to the Democrat Party.

Donald Trump article of impeachment number four. Under Donald Trump America has become the world’s number one oil and natural gas producer. That’s like showing Dracula the cross. The Democrats have been promising to get rid of fossil fuels for the last 20 years on the basis they’re destroying the planet. Under Donald Trump America has become the world’s number one oil and gas producer. He must go.

Democrat article of impeachment number five. Donald Trump withdrew from the pocket-picking Paris accords and the lousy, stinking, rotten Iran deal of Barack Obama, daring to erase Obama’s signature agreement that allowed Iran to nuke up. That’s right. Under Barack Obama, the Democrat Party permitted the nation of Iran to advance with our assistance its entire nuclear grid to eventually include the product of nuclear weapons. Donald Trump took it back.

Democrat article of impeachment number seven. Donald Trump has doggedly increased control of the U.S. southern border thereby inflicting great challenges on Democrats’ plan to register illegal aliens in the millions as voters for upcoming elections.

Democrat article of impeachment number eight. Donald Trump is guilty of winning, guilty of surviving deep state schemes to take him out. Donald Trump is guilty of producing peace and prosperity. Donald Trump is guilty of working hard to fix the nation’s problems.

Democrat article of impeachment number nine. All of this makes the Democrat Party look utterly irrelevant and useless. That’s from the current issue. I added number nine here on the fly. You will not see it in your issue of The Limbaugh Letter, but you can add it in your own mind. That’s really what they’re up against here.

Pompeo Turns the Ukraine Scandal Around on Obama and Biden

Oct 31, 2019

RUSH: I ran into Andy McCarthy. He gave me a little preview. He’s got a column out today, and he’s taken all this very seriously. And he said, “You know, the White House, the Trump administration, they better get in gear fast. They had better have an answer to this charge. They can’t just run around and say it’s a witch hunt. They can’t run around and say the process is unfair. They better have an answer to the charge. And the charge is that Trump asked a foreign power to dig up dirt on a political enemy. Better have an answer for that.”

Andy’s argument — now, he’s a lawyer — they better have something on substance here. Even if the Democrats are using smoke and mirrors, it’s important for Trump to have a response to the substance of the charge. Well, I’m gonna give you one. Mike Pompeo was on Fox last night, and here’s the question. “You were on that Ukraine call.” This is the call the whistleblower didn’t hear, called Adam Schiff and told him about it.

We now know who the whistleblower is. Folks, this whistleblower is a 33-year-old Harvard dime-a-dozen graduate. This guy is a Pajama Boy. He looks exactly like the kid that Obama put wearing pajamas in an ad for Obamacare or something.

This guy’s got a little goatee, I’m sure to make himself look more mature and older.  He’s an acolyte of John Brennan.  He’s a holdover from the Obama administration.  He was in the Trump West Wing!  He was kicked out of the West Wing in 2017 for leaking negative stories to the media about Trump!  He was among the people in the White House working to assist the FBI in the Russia investigation of Trump colluding with Russia, which didn’t happen.  This is the whistleblower.

He did not hear the call.

Vindman heard the call and told the whistleblower, the whistleblower called Schiff — this is what they don’t want anybody to know — and then Schiff took the guy’s information. I don’t think any of this happened as I just expressed.  I think the whole thing was set up.  I think whoever is pulling the strings here… I think John Brennan’s the puppet master, but I think this was planned as an insurance policy in case Trump-Russia blew up.  I think they’ve had assets in place to handle every eventuality.

While they were confident the Trump-Russia collusion, the Mueller Report was gonna work out, they no doubt had a contingency — and when it didn’t, they authorized this: Plan B, Plan C.  I don’t believe any of this was spontaneous.  I don’t believe, for example, that Vindman heard the phone call and was really, really outraged. “Oh, my God! I’m scared to death what’s happening to my country.”  I don’t believe this, because the phone call was nothing. There was nothing on the phone call to engender that kind of reaction.  The reaction had to be planned.

Just like there was never any evidence for Trump-Russia collusion, there was nothing in that phone call to trigger this kind of panicked, “Oh, my God.  I’m afraid for my nation” reaction.  And how do I know this?  Because Vindman said that the Trump-released transcript was edited and that he went in there, Vindman did, and tried to add things to the transcript that were he said that were edited out.  In the very New York Times story reporting this, the Times admits that Vindman’s edits didn’t substantially change lawmakers’ assertion or understanding of the transcript.

In other words: Nothing burger.

I don’t believe any of this was spontaneous.  I think Schiff knew for months that this was a possibility, that this particular whistleblower, Eric Ciaramella, was going to eventually come to him.  I think the whole thing was set up as a Plan B contingency if Russia bombed out.  And this is why I say there’s other stuff that we don’t know that Brennan, et al, have waiting in the wings to be sprung. As every one of their plans blows up, they’re gonna have a new one that everybody will react to like they did Trump-Russia.

This is the thing that bugs me.  At what point does everybody say, “Enough!  You tried with Russia and you bombed out, and you’ve tried with this phone call and it’s nothing burger.  Enough”?  But nobody reacts that way.  With every new, never-before-heard-about revelation, what does Washington do?  They stop, they gulp, they go, “Oh, my God.  Trump might have done that?”  It’s been three years, and Donald Trump hadn’t done anything.

Donald Trump hasn’t done a single thing of which he has been accused.  And yet every newly arrived scandal… It was the same thing with Kavanaugh.  We’re sailing along, we’re on the way to confirmation.  It wasn’t going the Democrats’ away.  All of a sudden, here comes who?  Christine Blasey Ford — and we indeed found out later it was an orchestrated, timed event.  It was not spontaneous.  It was not legitimate.  And it was not genuine.

And neither is this whistleblower being upset about what somebody told him what happened on this phone call.  (interruption) No, I haven’t lost my place in the substance.  Now to Pompeo.  So he’s asked about it. I wanted to make sure you have a background understanding of what Pompeo’s talking about here.  So the question that he was asked is this: “You were on that Ukraine call.  Do you agree that the items were not part of the transcript, that they were part of the phone call?”

POMPEO:  I was on the call. I listened to the call. I thought the way the president handled it was appropriate.  We were incredibly focused on a couple of simple things with respect to Ukraine strategy.  We’ve executed on that.  Don’t forget, Mark, that this is the administration that provided defensive weapons systems to Ukraine.

WOMAN: That’s true!

POMPEO:  The previous administration… I couldn’t tell you why.  I couldn’t answer if it’s because of Hunter Biden that Barack Obama and Vice President Biden didn’t give defensive weapons systems to Ukraine.  They’ll have to answer for that.

RUSH:  All right.  Let me explain that to you.  I did in the first hour, but here it goes again.  But before that, now, we’ve heard, “Vindman, he’s a decorated West Point graduate.  He wears the military uniform of the U.S. Army.  You cannot disrespect him.  You cannot not believe him!”  Pompeo went to West Point, folks.  Pompeo is a graduate of West Point.  So does he get the same privilege?  “We must believe what Pompeo says.  He wore the uniform of the U.S. military.  He is a valued, valiant warrior and hero.”  Is he gonna get the same kind of respect or are we gonna say he’s lying ’cause he’s a Trump partisan?

His point is we had an agreement with Ukraine to defend them.  They disarmed after we promised them that we would defend them if anybody ever attacked them.  Guess what?  The Russians attacked and annexed Crimea from Ukraine, and they had no way to defend themselves — and guess who did not follow the treaty and give them any aid?  Obama!  That’s what Pompeo’s saying.  Trump gave them the aid!

There was no denial of aid.  Trump came through, and — as far as I know — Ukraine has not furnished Trump any “dirt” on Biden or his kid.  So what is this?  It’s nothing but Plan B or — who knows — Plan C.  It’s not legitimate.  It’s not authentic.  It’s not anything that is spontaneous.  It’s part of a plan that these deep-state authors are using so that Donald Trump is constantly under suspicion of whatever they’re trying to say he’s incompetent at doing.
