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

RUSH:  I\u2019m guessing that many of you do not know this, but there was another dump of 100 pages from the FBI yesterday relating to the investigation of Hillary Clinton.  Folks, I\u2019m here to tell you, there is no way this woman ought to be anywhere near the Oval Office.  She ought not be anywhere near the White House.  I don\u2019t care what Donald Trump\u2019s faults are. I don\u2019t care what people think of Donald Trump.  This woman has no business.  I can\u2019t believe, after looking at these documents — and I could do the whole program on these.  And, who knows, I might. <\/p>\n

This is astounding what the FBI dumped yesterday.  Why this hasn\u2019t been dumped earlier is obvious.  It is damning!  It is destroying of Hillary Clinton, as a person, as a secretary of state.  I go through all these emails.  Have any of you who\u2019ve spent any time going through any of the emails, part of the WikiLeaks dump, are you seeing anybody that works for her talk about what a nice person she is?  I am not.  I see references to friends of Bill that need this and friends of Bill that need that.  I don\u2019t see any references to friends of Hillary. <\/line><\/p>\n

I\u2019m reading a bunch of people who are doing what they can to advance this woman\u2019s career because it is their job and because through her they maybe get to advance what their agenda is; but I\u2019m here to tell you, there doesn\u2019t appear to be any personal attachment beyond Huma in any of these, including Podesta.  You know, Podesta is actually a Bill guy.  Podesta was Bill\u2019s chief of staff sent over there, runs the Center for American Progress, a leftist think tank, and is now over there steering the Hillary campaign. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m telling you, folks, it\u2019s incredible.  And this 100 pages — and most of it\u2019s redacted.  The stuff that they haven\u2019t redacted is damning.  It makes Watergate look like Romper Room.  And I\u2019m wondering, what in the hell were they doing at the FBI when they decided none of this was actionable?  This goes so far beyond quid pro quo.  Of course that\u2019s a big, big deal. <\/p>\n

But all the stories that we heard back when the Clintons were in the White House about Hillary disliking the Marines, disrespecting the Marines, throwing ashtrays, apparently it\u2019s true, because she did it at the State Department.  She was so mean to people that State Department security agents, which they have, every bureaucracy has security agents that travel with the ambassadors, with the secretary of state.  None of them wanted to work for her.  They all quit over the four-year time she was in the secretary of state\u2019s office.  None of them. <\/p>\n

The people that ended up on her detail were brand-new and had no idea. They were the last ones to go there because everybody else begged off, because she was just plain and simple mean and rude and disrespectful.  She was violating protocol at every turn.  As an example, one of the parent protocols is that when the secretary of state\u2019s traveling, you get off the plane and you always join the ambassador to whatever country you\u2019re in. The ambassador gets in a limo with you, it\u2019s a security thing, too, from the airport into the embassy or wherever you\u2019re going.<\/p>\n

In other words, when you get off the plane in a foreign country, you are joined at the hip with the ambassador.  She never would do it. <\/p>\n

The only person allowed to get closer to is Huma Abedin and whoever this guy that runs around with her, this big, big black guy who is there rubbing her back and telling her just keep talking, just keep breathing.  He\u2019s obviously some medic, and he\u2019s constantly around her.  Other than this guy and Huma Abedin, she just blows off everybody and everything.  You can\u2019t find any references, or very few, to people with any affection for her.  They\u2019re all working for her and they\u2019re all trying to rig the game for her, but there doesn\u2019t seem to be any affection. <\/line><\/p>\n

It\u2019s amazing what\u2019s in these 100 pages alone, and these are from the FBI.  This is not WikiLeaks.  This is not the result of a hack.  They can\u2019t say that the Russians are behind this.  Now, I don\u2019t think that any of this is gonna end up in the Drive-By Media. Because they are part of this.  Well, that\u2019s part of the WikiLeaks dump, too. But reporters are sending their stories to John Podesta for vetting before they\u2019re published.  One guy, Glenn Thrush from Politico says (paraphrasing), “Hey, look, now that I\u2019ve become a (hack) for you guys, I\u2019ve got this story.  Here it is. Make sure it\u2019s right before I run with it.”<\/p>\n

This is happening constantly, not just recently, but constantly with Mrs. Clinton. He\u2019s not the only one.  All of them, practically everybody in the mainstream media is on her team and coordinating with her and her campaign about how to do stories, what stories to do, what to leave out of them and so forth. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now to the FBI document dump.  It\u2019s a hundred pages and it\u2019s dynamite, and it\u2019s just astounding, folks.  You look at this and you wonder how in the world did this woman not get charged?  How in the world did this not get sent to the grand jury?  Of course, we know.  President Obama didn\u2019t want it.  He didn\u2019t want any of it going anywhere because he\u2019s implicated in it.  He lied.  He said he learned about Hillary\u2019s private server while watching the news just like all of us, except that\u2019s not true. <\/p>\n

He was regularly communicating with her via her private server and all this suspicious email activity using a fake name, a pseudonym, if you will.  He was fully aware.  And that\u2019s why to go after her would have included him, and ah, ah, ah, ah, not going to happen.  I did as much looking into this as I could, and I have to tell you, John Hinderaker at Power Line has probably put together the best summary of this.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Yesterday “the FBI released another 100 pages relating to its investigation of Hillary Clinton\u2019s conduct as Secretary of State.” This was not just an investigation that was limited to her emails and server.  By definition, it ended up including her conduct as secretary of state.  Why it has taken so long for the FBI to review, to redact, and publish — I mean, a hundred pages is a small quantity.  It\u2019s dynamite.  What\u2019s in these 100 pages, even what is not redacted is dynamite.  But the question, why it has taken so long for the FBI to review, to redact and publish a hundred pages is inexplicable. <\/line><\/p>\n

The pages that were released yesterday are explosive, big-time explosive. Folks, it\u2019s serious stuff.  And it all — you can\u2019t conclude anything other — this woman ought not be anywhere near the levels of power.  This woman is as corrupt as anybody.  This makes Watergate, as I say, look like Romper Room.  Now, you may have seen headlines that Hillary\u2019s State Department tried to pressure the FBI to say that various documents located on her home server were not classified.  That was critical.  It is critical, obviously, because one of Hillary\u2019s lines of defense was to claim — falsely, as it turned out — that she never sent or received classified documents on her off-the-books email system. <\/p>\n

She said that in her first press conference that she held at the U.N., and she said it subsequent times. (imitating Hillary) “I never dealt with.  I I I I I I never sent or received classified documents.  It was a mistake, I\u2019ll never do it again, I learned from it, but I never sent classified documents.” <\/p>\n

But to get the full impact, you have to see the relevant portions of the FBI investigation, and they\u2019re all here, in all cases.  They\u2019ve been published and I\u2019m gonna just read to you a so-called executive summary of them.  “In the first page, an unidentified FBI employee says he was ‘pressured\u2019 to change the classification of an email to render it unclassified. This pressure came from someone within the FBI.”<\/p>\n

This is in FBI documents.  This is not somebody\u2019s speculation.  It was in what was released yesterday.  You remember, now, she has denied trafficking in classified documents, sending or receiving.  And yet in one of the pages yesterday, an unidentified FBI employee says he was pressured by someone within the FBI to change the classification of an email to render it unclassified. <\/line><\/p>\n

This person within the FBI “who said he had been contacted by Undersecretary of State Patrick Kennedy, who ‘had asked his assistance in altering the email\u2019s classification in exchange for a “quid pro quo.”‘”  You may see people denying this left and right at the State Department.  It\u2019s in the FBI documents.  It happened!  Somebody within the FBI called over to state, talked to Patrick Kennedy and asked for his help in changing the classification of the email in exchange for a quid pro quo. <\/p>\n

And what was the quid pro quo?  “The quid pro quo was that, if the FBI would say the email was unclassified, the State Department would allow the FBI to ‘place more Agents in countries where they are presently forbidden.\u2019 Subsequently, the interviewee was summoned to an ‘all agency\u2019 meeting at the State Department to discuss the classification review of the Hillary Clinton emails. This fact,” and that\u2019s what it is, “is astonishing: the meeting was attended by representatives of the State Department, the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency ‘and other government agencies,\u2019 including, obviously, the FBI.”<\/p>\n

So you had an all-agency meeting at the State Department to discuss reviewing the classification of Hillary Clinton\u2019s emails and changing from classified to unclassified, with all of these government agencies at the meeting.  “Patrick Kennedy presided. Someone asked whether any of the Hillary emails that were being reviewed for production were classified. Kennedy replied, ‘Well, we\u2019ll see.'”<\/line><\/p>\n

Meaning, when we get through here, after we\u2019ve declassified a bunch of \u2019em, probably not.  So they had classified emails, agency-wide meeting with all of these different elements of the government to discuss declassifying certain Hillary emails.  Why would they do that?  To protect her.  To protect them.  To protect Obama.  There were classified emails.  She was trafficking in classified email on her unsecure server that she had lied about and denied doing, that Obama claimed he knew nothing about when he did. <\/p>\n

And so it was an all-agency meeting where they circled the wagons and after the fact they\u2019re gonna change from classified to unclassified email by email by email in exchange for a quid pro quo for the FBI. <\/p>\n

“Following the all agency meeting, Undersecretary of State Kennedy renewed his effort to pressure the FBI to change its classification of the document in question. The FBI representative wouldn\u2019t budge.”  The FBI said, “No, we are not gonna help you declassify this classified document.” <\/p>\n

“So Kennedy asked who else at the agency he could talk to. The interviewee gave the name of Michael Steinbach.” All of this was in these hundred pages dumped yesterday.  “The interviewee then participated in a call with Kennedy and Steinbach, in which Kennedy ‘continued to pressure the FBI to change the classified markings on the email to unclassified.\u2019 Steinbach refused. What happened next is — deserves to be, anyway — a bombshell.<\/p>\n

“Prior to ending the conversation, Kennedy,” of the State Department, “asked whether the FBI or State would conduct the public statements on the matter. Steinbach advised Kennedy that the FBI would not comment publicly on the matter.”<\/p>\n

Well, I mean, folks, right there is corruption admitted to.  Here you had an all-agency meeting to discuss the declassification of an email in order to protect Hillary\u2019s claim that she had not trafficked in them.  And everybody at the meeting admits to and knows what\u2019s going on.  And the FBI says, “Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re not gonna talk about it.  Steinbach of the FBI told Kennedy we would not comment publicly on the matter.”  Meaning, whatever you do, nobody\u2019s gonna know about it. We\u2019re not gonna blow the whistle on you.  Whatever you do, go ahead, we\u2019re not talking. <\/p>\n

“That was enough for the astonishingly corrupt Hillary Clinton. This is what happened next:  The conference call ended and, according to [ ], the Associated Press (AP) published the story within the hour. Former Secretary of State Clinton appeared in front of the press shortly thereafter to deny having sent classified emails on her private email server.”<\/p>\n

So before she goes out and speaks, they had this agency-wide meeting to declassify something classified, it ends up happening in exchange for quid pro quo.  The FBI sitting in on the meeting, “Okay, we\u2019re not gonna say a word.\u2019  That\u2019s the signal to Hillary to go out and lie that she had never sent classified emails on her private email server. <\/line><\/p>\n

What you have here, folks, is a clear pattern of corruption that, as I say, makes Watergate look like Romper Room.  Hillary\u2019s aide at the State Department, Patrick Kennedy, tried to bribe the FBI with the promise of a quid pro quo, tried to bribe the FBI to change the classification. It was a Benghazi document, by the way.  What\u2019s being discussed here is a Benghazi document. <\/p>\n

So Patrick Kennedy, Hillary\u2019s aide, tried to bribe the FBI to change the classification of a Benghazi document so as to enable Hillary to lie and say that she did not send or receive classified information on her illegal home server.  The FBI refused.  James Comey was not involved at this stage, by the way.  This was before the serious investigation even began.  But they learned of it. Comey learned of this later on.  He wasn\u2019t involved at this point. <\/p>\n
