Democrats Hit Brick Wall of Reality, Keep Telling Russia Lie Anyway

Jul 26, 2019




RUSH: Now, Jerry Nadler has conducted a press conference where he said, “We can’t go any further now unless we see the grand jury materials from the Mueller investigation.” That’s a violation of the law. He’s asking for the law to be broken.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: You know, I use metaphors, and I use real-life examples to illustrate in my ongoing efforts (which are largely successful) to persuade. Yesterday, I described the Democrats as being confounded by something they can’t change, and that is reality. The Democrats have become delusional. They’ve become so poisoned with delusion and hate — and it is hate — and it is hate for Donald Trump. It is hate for the fact that they lost. It’s hate for all of this. It’s hate that they don’t have power.

It’s hate that you have rejected ’em. It’s hate for everything. They are miserable, and they are angry. What they are attempting to do is, in their delusion, reset reality. They are trying to convince people that there was collusion with Russia and that Trump did it and that Putin has something on Trump and that that’s the reason the election went the way it did, but the problem they’re having is that they’re running up against the brick wall of reality. At every turn — every effort they make to recast reality, they hit the brick wall of reality.

They have been unable to alter it. They have been unable to plow through it. They are doing it again today. Everybody who watched the Mueller hearings and everybody who read or watched news about the Mueller hearings knows what happened, that it was a bomb, that there was nothing advanced. There was no ball advanced. There was no effort to impeach that was advanced. It blew up, and yet the Democrats are continuing to tell people that happened. That didn’t happen! Jerry Nadler, Judiciary Committee Chairman, was just in the middle of a press conference out there.

He just went out and said that Robert Mueller confirmed that Russia interfered with the election and that Trump colluded with Russia. He just said this! The report doesn’t say that, and Mueller didn’t say that yesterday or the day before, whenever it was. The report doesn’t say there wasn’t any collusion; the report doesn’t say that there was. The report doesn’t say that there could have been. The report doesn’t say the Russians wanted there to be.

The report doesn’t say that the election was illegitimate. In fact, the DOJ and everybody involved has said not a single vote was changed, no election outcome was altered. And yet the Democrats today persist, because now Nadler wants the grand jury material. Since Mueller bombed out, they want what they’re not legally permitted to see, and they’re gonna go to court to get it. Here is… We have a couple of bites of Nadler at his press conference today. Here’s the first one…

NADLER: We want to say a few words about Director Mueller, what we learned from his testimony and next steps in our work to hold President Trump accountable for his conduct. Robert Mueller is a man of honor and integrity. He has led a life defined by service to his country. Some have argued that because Director Mueller was reluctant to testify and seemed older than some remembered him, his work is somehow diminished. It is not.

RUSH: Now, wait. You might think, “I thought Mueller was gonna say…” He is in the next bite here.

NADLER: He showed that the Trump campaign both welcomed and benefited from this attack on our country, and he showed that the president repeatedly lied to cover it up. And if that were not enough, Director Mueller’s testimony removed all doubt. He told us that Donald Trump obstructed justice and abused his office by tampering with witnesses, attempt to block the investigation, and attempting to fire the special counsel.

RUSH: Right. So, of course, there wasn’t any collusion. None of this happened. The investigation was not impeded. The investigation was not shortened by any stretch of the imagination. So they just go out and continue to try to restate. Now, they’re able to do this, as we all know, because the Drive-By Media is gonna amplify it. The Drive-By Media is gonna echo it. The Drive-By Media is not gonna embarrass them. The Drive-By Media isn’t going to say, “What are you talking about, Jerry? We all watched this yesterday. You’re full of it!”

The Drive-By Media is not gonna do that. So they’ve got their narrative, and no matter what reality does to intercede, they are going to continue on it. In the process, folks, they look like fools. They may look like heroes to their base, but they look like abject fools — and they apparently have no compunction. Now, let me go back to yesterday’s program, ’cause I was watching cable news here during the breaks, and I saw yet another segment on all of the devastation the Russians committed in the 2016 election, all of the meddling, all of the tampering.

I’ve gotten fed up with this narrative. There wasn’t any Russian meddling in the election any more than Russia meddles in America every year, every day. There wasn’t anything that was a standout here. Every other nation is attempting to meddle, just like we try to meddle. Barack Obama tried to influence the outcome of Israeli elections! He didn’t want Netanyahu to win. None of this is out of the ordinary. It is the way an adversarial world works. The United States is a great nation at risk in a dangerous world.

We stand for freedom. What’s a gigantic threat to tyrants, communists, socialists, dictators, you name it. We’ve always been a target. There have always been enemy nations that have wanted to do us great harm, to take us out. They’ve always tried infiltration. They’ve succeeded in our education system, they’ve succeeded in our pop culture, I’m sure way beyond even their wildest dreams. The idea that the Russians meddled in the 2016 election to the point that Trump should not have won when he did, didn’t happen.

In fact, if there was any meddling with Russians, it was done by Hillary Clinton and her campaign and the DNC. So yesterday I grabbed sound bites from the past. I grabbed a sound bite from Rod Rosenstein when Mueller announced the indictments of 13 Russian troll farms. They were PR indictments to be sure, because there was no way these Russians were ever gonna face the charges. They weren’t gonna be extradited. Mueller got a free pass.

He could have charged these Russians with anything, and the public relations announcement of that could go a long way into making the case that the Russians tampered, that the Russians interfered. They were bogus charges, and they were never intended to be heard in court. They were strictly PR indictments. But in the announcements of the indictments, the deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein, made it clear (I played the sound bite yesterday): These indictments do not allege that a single American was involved and not a single vote or election outcome was altered. Thereby, undercutting the whole purpose of the indictments!

Now, the media ignored what Rosenstein said. Everybody else ignored it. By the time he said it, people had tuned out of his press conference. They saved it for the last thing. But I didn’t miss it, because to me it was the bombshell. Here you’re indicting 13 Russian troll farms and you say not a single American was involved, which would include Donald Trump — not a single American was involved! Not even Donald Trump Jr. Not even Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian honeypot. None. No involvement by an American, AND no votes were changed, AND no election outcome of altered.

Then I went and got a sound bite Barack Hussein O from October 2018 where he pooh-poohed the idea of being able to rig a presidential election in the United States! He basically said, “It’s impossible. You couldn’t do it. It’s too complex. There are 50 presidential elections. There’s not one. There’s one in every state. We have 50 different elections. It would be impossible to rig it.” Of course, that sound bite has been allowed to drift off to never-never land, and it doesn’t exist except when we revive it. So last night I’m at home taking a breather from all this.

I’m minding my own business. We had a massive thunderstorm move through here late yesterday afternoon, last night, and it played hell with the power grid. It played hell. I mean, we almost lost four surge protectors last night with practically direct hits with lightning strikes. And it was a busy time monitoring all this and making sure we took the steps necessary. So I was taking time away from all this.

When that’s over and we are relatively assured the worst is past, I happened to look at my Apple Watch. I’ve got an alert on there from the news app, and the alert on my Apple Watch says that the Senate Intelligence Committee has just released a report alleging an unprecedented level of activity by Russia in the 2016 election. I said, “What? What the hell is this? What a coincidence this is! I spend 30 minutes on this yesterday, and a Senate Intelligence Committee issues a report that the Russian involvement in the 2016 election was ‘unprecedented.’ Never seen it before.”

So the Apple Watch being too small to actually read a story, I picked up my trusty iPad and I found the story and I read it, and I want to read you the first paragraph. The headline actually is “Russia Targeted 2016 State Elections…” I mean, minutes after I point out that the presidential election is 50 state elections! “Russia Targeted 2016 State Elections with ‘Unprecedented Level of Activity.'” Okay. That’s the headline. Here’s the story, first ‘graph: A report released Thursday by the Senate Intelligence…”

By the way, the Senate Intelligence Committee is one of the most corrupt committees and institutions in all of Washington, and it’s not I saying this. It is not me saying this. It is acknowledged that the Senate Intelligence Committee, contrary to what you would think (impression) “The Senate, the august Senate Intelligence Committee! Why, everything coming out of there would be pro-America and would certainly be trustworthy.” It turns out it isn’t. More on that later. I don’t want that to sidetrack you.

I want to get to the first paragraph here. “A report released…” Remember the headline: “unprecedented level of activity,” all 50 states, folks! All 50 states! The Russians were tampering in all 50 states. That’s what this report says. Got that? Okay. “A report released Thursday by the Senate Intelligence Committee offered new details on the breadth and intensity of what it said was “unprecedented” Russian cyber activity targeting U.S. election infrastructure ahead of the 2016 presidential election…” Ready for the next?

“[T]hough it echoed a previous, preliminary finding that no votes were changed and no voting machines were manipulated.” Therefore, it is a nonstory! It’s the recycling of a previously existing, panic-riddled, panic-filled, breathless story about the Russians. But here it is again, and this is an NBC report: “”[T]hough it echoed a previous, preliminary finding that no votes were changed and no voting machines were manipulated.” Now, you might be saying, “Well, but, Rush, can’t both be true? Can’t the Russians have tried, and can it be that they failed?”

Yeah, but, folks, the Russians try every day. The Russians try all the time. The news is that they didn’t succeed! And yet the Democrat Party and the media every day are still trying to claim — as in Mueller did moments ago — that Trump colluded with them! And that’s why he won! They still want you to believe the 2016 election was fraudulent and illegitimate, that Hillary Clinton should have won but lost because Trump stole it.

Yet every official comment on this acknowledges no votes were changed, no election results were altered. So it’s a nothing burger! It’s another nothing story that’s made to look like a brand-new release, filled with just-discovered intelligence that breathlessly had to be released to the American people. What timing! The very day after Bob Mueller bombs out, the Senate Intel Committee “drops” what they’ve already reported. There was a preliminary report already stated all of this. The timing here is just too coincidental to be coincidental.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I don’t think a court is gonna listen to Nadler demanding grand jury material. Any good judge would tell him that the restriction on grand jury material is statutory, meaning Congress made it! Congress must change this law if Nadler is to get grand jury material. The first question any good judge would ask Nadler is, “Have you proposed any legislation to change grand jury rules so that material can be disclosed to Congress?”

“Uh, no, your Honor.”

“Well, then why should the court get involved when you can do it yourself?”

Now, I said, “No good judge will listen to Nadler.” No good judge. But of course, we’ve been expecting the FISA court judges to express outrage over how they were lied to in the spying-on-Carter Page warrants using the dossier and media reports as evidence. But the FISA court doesn’t seem upset about anything. So I’ll believe this doesn’t happen… There are too many Obama judges out there that will give Nadler what he wants, maybe.
