RUSH: I like to take things that are intricately, deeply woven webs of deceit and untangle it all and try to make as much of it understandable as possible. And I think I can do that here today with the summary of what is dominating the news today. Here is a summary of what is domminating the news today.
The secretary of state's chief of staff -- that would be Hillary Clinton at her old job, the chief of staff is Cheryl Mills -- was interviewing applicants for the Clinton Crime Family Foundation while she was at state. Not supposed to do that. What's going on at any public officeholder's foundation, you're not supposed to mingle what's going on -- because you're selling influence. You're not supposed to do it. Secretary of state cannot influence or otherwise, interview candidates, accept donations or this kind of thing using the power of the office that that candidate holds. It's not against the law, it's an ethical breach, and it was going on big time.
Cheryl Mills, the chief of staff to Hillary Clinton at the Department of State was interviewing applicants and donors and other interested parties at the Clinton Foundation while she was chief of staff to the secretary of state. The secretary of state's chief aide -- that would be Huma Danger Weiner -- connected Clinton Foundation donors to the Department of State. That's not supposed to happen. That, again, is a huge ethical breach and violation.
There are lines of separation or demarcation there that are not to be crossed. And in both instances Hillary Clinton employees, chief aide, chief of staff, while she was secretary of state, were commingling people and funds and influence, who knows what else, while Hillary was secretary of state. While all of this was going on, the secretary of state, one Hillary Rodham Clinton, directed her internet technology chief to build an illegal, private, hidden server in order to connect the Department of State with the Clinton Crime Family Foundation. And that private server has been long ago discovered.
And when it was discovered, the Department of State said, "Wait, you can't do that." Well, the Department of State didn't say that. Everybody else did. And the FBI said, "Hey, you can't do that, and we want the emails from that server." And Mrs. Clinton said (imitating Clinton), "Okay, I'll look at 'em and try to determine which ones you might want to look at, which ones will be boring to you."
There were a total of 60,000 emails on the private server that she should not have had and she said that 33,000 of them had to do with yoga and her daughter's wedding and promptly deleted them. The other 30,000 she sent to the FBI and that's why we got a press conference with the director of the FBI listing all of the crimes that she committed while telling us that it wouldn't probably be worth the time to prosecute her, but there were clear violations of law.
Every bit of this, all three of these essential summaries of what's in the news today are highly unethical and probably criminal. But the big news of the day is that Donald Trump really stepped in it trying to be sarcastic. That's the big news of the day. You know, Trump, I know exactly what Trump's doing before he does it. I know what he's doing when he does it. I know how he's trying to do it.
This whole business of Trump for the past two days insisting that Obama was the founder of ISIS. And you may have heard that he appeared on a radio talk show hosted by the estimable Hugh Hewitt in which the estimable Hugh Hewitt gave Trump three or four different outs to agree, "Yeah, that's what I really meant. I meant that Obama got out of Iraq and left the place vulnerable and ISIS moved in, ISIS founded itself and created," but Trump refused to take the offer and continued to say nope, he founded it, he founded it.
Then, when the proverbial excrement hit the fan, now Trump is saying, "Wait a minute, I was just being sarcastic and everybody knows it," and that's what the big story is today. That's generally how it works each and every day.
