\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s a pattern with the Clintons, but the thing you need to know about the Clintons is that since Whitewater — actually, since Vince Foster, since that whole Vince Foster thing, the Republican Party as an institution and its individual members has pulled up short every Clinton controversy. They pull up short. They don\u2019t go all the way, because the Vince Foster thing — it\u2019s kind of like the budget deal of 1995 and the government shutdown.\u00a0 They\u2019re paranoid now of a government shutdown.\u00a0 Oh, my God, we can\u2019t have a government shutdown, oh, no.<\/p>\n

Vince Foster and that whole thing made \u2019em paranoid of going for broke and calling out the Clintons for what they really are, so the Clintons get away, they skate.\u00a0 Name the scandal, name the controversy, Clinton Crime Family Foundation, two years, 21 and a half million dollars doing speeches?\u00a0 They may reference it, but they will not call it what it is.\u00a0 They will not say, the Republican Party nor its candidates, will not say Hillary Clinton is selling access on the come to the White House by selling herself to all these foreign entities, and who are they, and what are they buying?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a serious question.\u00a0 It needs answers because the Clintons, in their quest for personal wealth, which is what this is, their quest for personal wealth, Hillary Clinton has been accepting tens of millions of hundreds of millions of dollars of donations from foreign entities, countries, individuals.\u00a0 For what?\u00a0 What in the world do these people think they\u2019re buying?\u00a0 We know they are investing in her as an eventual president.\u00a0 That\u2019s what they\u2019re buying.<\/p>\n

They also spent this money when she was secretary of state.\u00a0 They were getting something then.\u00a0 This is insidious, whatever it is.\u00a0 But the Republicans will stop short.\u00a0 They will never go there.\u00a0 They will never go all the way in calling the Clintons out because of the fear that it\u2019s gonna backfire like it has backfired in the past.\u00a0 The Clintons know this.\u00a0 The Clintons know they\u2019ve got the Republicans buffaloed.\u00a0 They know the Republicans are not going to go all the way.\u00a0 But Trump, well, Trump is not your typical Republican in any number of ways.<\/p>\n

So he\u2019s out there the last two days, he\u2019s actually out there saying that Hillary Clinton bribed Loretta Lynch, and that\u2019s part and parcel of what happened with Comey yesterday.\u00a0 That\u2019s never said, those allegations, Republicans never go that far.\u00a0 But Trump did.\u00a0 And I hope he keeps it up, for two reasons.\u00a0 A, the American people need to hear it, they need to know it, they need to start considering it.\u00a0 And, number two, the Clintons have never had to deal with that straight, that full frontal of an attack.<\/p>\n

You got to admit, folks, they for the most part get a pass because of fear.\u00a0 And you know the fear I\u2019m talking about.\u00a0 The Republicans have the fear of opposing amnesty. Well, better stated, the need to be seen as supporting amnesty so as to not anger Hispanics, so as hopefully to acquire significant numbers of Hispanic votes.\u00a0 So they do things that are not in their own interest.\u00a0 As a party, in the nation\u2019s own interest, or they\u2019re do the bidding of the Chamber of Commerce, the donors or whoever.\u00a0 But when it comes to the Clintons, everybody there is in the establishment, Republican or Democrat, they\u2019re all in the club, and they pull back.<\/p>\n

They do not go all out when going after each other, except the Democrats do when going after the Republicans.\u00a0 But Trump doesn\u2019t pull up.\u00a0 At least he hasn\u2019t on this.\u00a0 I mean, do you realize what a big thing it is to accuse Hillary Clinton of bribery because of whatever quotes in the New York Times?\u00a0 I mean, it\u2019s exactly what it was.\u00a0 Now, I know what some of you are thinking.\u00a0 And, by the way, it\u2019s a legitimate question.\u00a0 What is so attractive about a government job that pays $175,000 a year when you, somebody like Loretta Lynch can go out there and make 10 million a year in private practice somewhere as a rainmaker at some law firm or at some lobbying firm.<\/p>\n

Power, folks.\u00a0 Power.\u00a0 This is another thing I don\u2019t think average, ordinary people have any concept.\u00a0 I mean, everybody is aware of power.\u00a0 Most people are aware of the power being used against them.\u00a0 But I would venture to say that not anywhere near a majority of people seek power the way somebody like Hillary Clinton does.\u00a0 Hillary Clinton wants to win the White House for the simple power of it.\u00a0 That\u2019s the thirst.\u00a0 That\u2019s the attraction for her.\u00a0 She wants the power.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think that\u2019s why Trump wants to be president.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t look at Trump as anywhere near having autocratic power tendencies, as some people are afraid that he might.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think Trump has ill intentions like I think the Clintons do.\u00a0 But this quest for raw power is another thing that frightens me about them and argues against them getting it.\u00a0 People who quest and thirst for power that much, I don\u2019t think, can be trusted with it.\u00a0 And she wants it.\u00a0 And Mrs. Clinton is used to skating.\u00a0 She\u2019s used to the media covering for her. She\u2019s used to the Democrat Party covering for her, and she and her husband are used to the Republican Party pulling up short.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
