RUSH: Let me go to the audio sound bites and get started on these. We got a little hypocrisy illustration here from Senator Schumer. I know, I know what I said yesterday, but it\u2019s still interesting to listen to. Up first: June 30th, 2016, Schumer held a press conference, and a reporter said, “Senator [Chuck You], President Clinton had an impromptu private meeting with the attorney general earlier this week in the cabin of her government plane. Now, in light of the Justice Department investigation into Hillary Clinton\u2019s emails, do you think that it was appropriate for the husband of Hillary Clinton, the former president, to be meeting with the attorney general overseeing the investigation into his wife?”<\/p>\n
And here\u2019s what Schumer said…<\/p>\n

SCHUMER: She\u2019s an honorable person. We know that. She has a reputation of being honorable. Our Republican colleagues have said it. She has said nothing was discussed, uh, related to the investigation. So you have two choices: To say this didn\u2019t matter or she\u2019s lying. I think it didn\u2019t matter. I don\u2019t think she\u2019s lying.<\/p>\n
RUSH: “She\u2019s an honorable person.” You know, we had a caller yesterday. I had said earlier, and he had a different way of saying it. He said, “We in Alabama love Jeff Sessions. He\u2019s a great Christian man,” and he said, “Rush, you know, in America it wasn\u2019t that long ago, that counted for something. I mean, that was a testament to one\u2019s character,” and I had to agree with him. Jeff Sessions is a decent, honorable, man. Have you heard anybody…? Well, Trump would say he\u2019s a good man, but here\u2019s Schumer. (paraphrased) “No, no, no. I\u2019m not concerned. Look, she\u2019s an honorable person! The Republicans have said she\u2019s an honorable person. She said they didn\u2019t discuss anything. So there\u2019s one of two things: She\u2019s either lying or it didn\u2019t matter.”<\/p>\n
Now I want you to listen to Schumer, his press conference yesterday, discussing Jeff Sessions speaking with the Russian ambassador.<\/p>\n
SCHUMER: The information reported last night makes it clear beyond the shadow of a doubt that Attorney General Sessions cannot possibly lead an investigation into Russian interference in our elections or come anywhere near it. With these revelations, he may very well become the subject of it. Because the Department of Justice should be above reproach for the good of the country, Attorney General Sessions should resign.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (chuckles) Oh-ho. So Loretta Lynch, she\u2019s an honorable person; didn\u2019t matter. There was nothing serious going on there. With Sessions (impression), “He might even be the guy who was colluding with the Russians! And there is no way! He ought not just recuse himself. He ought to just resign and get the hell back to the foreign country of Alabama.” Now, as I say, we can point out this hypocrisy, but this is never decisive. This kind of stuff doesn\u2019t ever work in our favor in terms of shifting public opinion.<\/p>\n
And you know why? Because that sound bite that you just heard? This will never be reported in the New York Times, and your liberal buddies I was talking about earlier that you might want to have a friendly conversation with? They\u2019ll not know of this. This is on Fox News, yeah, the press conference. But the New York Times isn\u2019t gonna cover it — or if they do, they\u2019ll never go back and play Schumer\u2019s reaction to Clinton meeting Loretta Lynch. My guess is you can find…<\/p>\n
Among your liberal friends out there wherever you are, you\u2019ll be able to find a pretty big number of them don\u2019t even know that Bill Clinton met with Loretta Lynch on her government plane on the tarmac in Phoenix one week before Comey was to announce some result in his investigation of Clinton\u2019s wife. I maintain that the people read the New York Times and watch ABC, CBS, NBC, don\u2019t even know that that happened. It wasn\u2019t reported. It was a local Phoenix TV anchor. They happened to have a body cam out there at the airport. They saw it all happen, they looked into it, and Fox News ran with it. Conservative media. The Drive-Bys? No. Zip, zero, nada. Not a story.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Just a reminder that the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, was at the Trump speech, joint session of Congress speech on Tuesday night, he was there. He was there as a guest of the Democrats. This is all so laughably silly, except we\u2019re not laughing enough about this, but at some point we\u2019re gonna be, I predict to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
