RUSH: Folks, the big news today outside of all of this… This is really big news, and, like every other bit of big news, nobody is going to hear about it. You may have seen references to headlines about Peter Strzok Smirk and the paramour, Lisa Page. More texts have been discovered and released, and the texts indicate that Strzok Smirk and Lisa Page coordinated the leaking of news data to the media in order to get it reported so that that could then be used in a FISA warrant application to spy on Carter Page! I\u2019ve looked at some of the stories.<\/p>\n

\"\"They\u2019re really kind of difficult to follow unless you are a seasoned, trained veteran like I am. So let me just nutshell tell you what this story is. The latest texts reveal that Strzok Smirk and Lisa Page were coordinating leaks to the Washington Post, leaks of investigative data that wasn\u2019t true. Remember back 18 months ago, every day there was a news story, “Intelligence sources say,” blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, “collusion, Trump and Russia.” Everybody was led to believe that we\u2019re getting close to the bombshell being delivered.<\/p>\n

Well, it turns out all of those leaks from the so-called intelligence community were coming from the FBI! They were coming from Strzok Smirk and Lisa Page! The FBI was leaking that stuff supposedly from the intelligence community. They wanted to plant all of that, including the story of Carter Page and, “You have a Trump-Russia collusion,” so that they could then go to the FISA court and say, “Look, Judge! It\u2019s even in the media! We need to look into this.” Well, they put it in the media! It\u2019s no different than they put the idea in Papadopoulos\u2019 head that the Russians had a bunch of Hillary emails.<\/a><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, I want to return to what I think is the big news of the day that actually hit last night. And it is encapsulated in this headline: “Strzok-Page Texts Reveal Coordinated FBI Leak Strategy to Harm Trump.” This is according to Representative Mark Meadows, Republican of North Carolina, and there are two or three different stories. There\u2019s one by Catherine Herridge here at Fox, Sara Carter has another one out there, and even John Solomon has an opinion piece. You know, these people continue to churn this stuff out.<\/p>\n

I know people right now who have books.<\/p>\n

In many cases, it\u2019s their first or second book.<\/p>\n

They really thought their book was gonna make a big difference.<\/p>\n

They really thought that their books were gonna open people\u2019s eyes and blow up this anti-Trump conspiracy. I didn\u2019t have the heart to tell \u2019em that that\u2019s not gonna be the impact because I\u2019ve seen it. But yet the authors of the books are all excited. They\u2019ve done the research, they\u2019ve got all the footnotes, they\u2019ve got all the evidence of this coup that is being run against Trump. Their book comes out and they start doing interviews, and they don\u2019t see one story in the mainstream media about their book, about their work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Salena Zito! Salena Zito has the definitive book on who Trump voters are in the Rust Belt states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio<\/a>. She\u2019s talked to them for years. She knows why they voted for Trump, why they\u2019re gonna continue to vote for Trump — or if they\u2019re not, why — and she really thought that her book would help the mainstream media have its eyes opened about things they\u2019re confused about, i.e., why is Trump so popular? Why can\u2019t we drive a wedge between Trump and his voters?<\/p>\n

And they don\u2019t care! They don\u2019t want to learn. They don\u2019t care what\u2019s in the book. They\u2019re not the slightest bit interested because they\u2019re not interested in facts. They\u2019re not interested in anything about the agenda, the objective, which is to get rid of Trump. That\u2019s what it started out as even in the campaign, and it hasn\u2019t changed. They don\u2019t want to understand Trump voters; they don\u2019t want to relegate Trump voters to irrelevance. They don\u2019t care why people vote for Trump; they just want the people that voted for Trump to not count anymore when they vote.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all they care about. The people that have written books on this coup — the silent coup, the made-up plot, the Trump dossier or the Steele dossier, all of that — thought that it would open the eyes of the Drive-By Media. But the Drive-By Media doesn\u2019t care, because the Drive-By Media is complicit in the coup! The mainstream media is complicit in the coup to get rid of Trump. The coup to get rid of Trump could not be happening if the media were not playing their role!<\/p>\n

Which takes me to the story: “Strzok-Page Texts Reveal Coordinated FBI Leak Strategy to Harm Trump,<\/a>” according to Mark Meadows. What I was gonna say is the stories written about this are so detailed that you can get lost. I just want to sum up what Meadows is saying here, and he says the documents prove it. They\u2019ve got texts from Lisa Page to Peter Strzok that prove this. They want these texts made public and released and action taken on \u2019em.<\/p>\n

In a nutshell, the latest texts between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page reveal, expose, demonstrate, whatever that Page and Peter Strzok were coordinating leaks to the Washington Post so as to plant the story of Carter Page and Trump-Russia collusion in the news. Do you remember going back to 2016 and \u201917? You\u2019d pick up the news (if you did) or you\u2019d watch cable news and you would hear every day at least one (and usually more than one) story citing intelligence community sources — former U.S. government officials, whatever — claiming that they had seen evidence or they knew of evidence of Trump and Russia colluding to steal the election.<\/p>\n

No story contained any evidence. No story had any evidence because there isn\u2019t any evidence. It was all made up! Every story did contain a single line buried in the story, which said, “So far no evidence has yet been seen, but experts insist that Trump colluded with Russia; Russia colluded with Trump,” and this happened for a year and a half. Now at the outset of this whole year and a half of stories, there were stories about Carter Page being a spy, being on the Trump campaign team and going to Russia. It turns out the stories about Carter Page — and I think all of them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But this deals with just Carter Page. It turns out that Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were leaking made-up investigative news to the Washington Post to plant a story of Carter Page being a spy for Russia and working on the Trump campaign, thereby providing the link between Trump and Russia, the collusion link. Those news stories in the Washington Post — which essentially, to pare it down even simpler, the FBI planted false stories that Carter Page was spying for Russia as a member of the Trump campaign.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post runs the stories. The FBI then took those Washington Post stories to the FISA court and said, “Look, Judge. It\u2019s not just us saying it. The news media has found evidence that Carter Page is a Russian spy!” Well, the Washington Post only knew it because the FBI had planted it, and that\u2019s what Meadows is asserting. They plant news in the newspaper, and then they go to the FISA court with their evidence of Trump-Russia collusion, and then they say, “Look! It\u2019s not just us! The Washington Post also — apparently on their own — has confirmed that Carter Page a Russian spy.”<\/p>\n

\"\"The FISA judge was eventually granted a warrant to spy on Carter Page! This is no different than the FBI using a couple of spies — Joseph Mifsud and Stefan Halper — to plant in the mind of George Papadopoulos that the Russians had 30,000 Hillary emails. Then Papadopoulos starts braggin\u2019 about it. He\u2019s been given inside dope. He starts telling the ambassador Australia, “Yeah. Yeah. We know that the Russians have a bunch of Hillary Clinton emails.”<\/p>\n

So the Australian ambassador calls FBI. “Hey, I got a guy here in the Trump campaign says that…” Well, he didn\u2019t know it \u2019til they told him! Apparently, this was a common feature. All of these so-called stories from “the intelligence community,” “former U.S. government officials” were planted by the FBI, the DOJ. If you want to say the intelligence community, you could throw them in there too. This is what Meadows says we have learned. Folks, this should blow the lid off of this for like the umpteenth time now!<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Andrew in Bloomington, how are you doing, sir?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Not too bad. I\u2019ll get right to the point regarding the whole FISA warrant and the whole, you know, scam going on. Something that I wanted to bring up is the fact that as every defense attorney out there has probably already figured out — if they haven\u2019t already. I imagine they\u2019re going through their clients\u2019 files and are looking for the original warrant requests on their clients. Not just involving FISA warrants, but FBI warrants across the country. Because the FBI didn\u2019t come up with this plan to take down Trump. They\u2019ve been utilizing this technique, these means and methods for years if not decades. I think that\u2019s the real story that the FBI\u2019s scared about, the fact that there are probably hundreds if not thousands of cases out there that could be brought down once defense attorneys start looking for the word “media” in these original warrants.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, I see. You\u2019re saying the FBI didn\u2019t invent this to bring down Trump, that this has been a tactic, this circular intelligence. Plant stuff in the media and then act like the media came up with it on its own to go get a warrant to spy on somebody or surveil somebody. You think this is an age-old technique that many defense lawyers are already aware of, and if it\u2019s learned that it\u2019s commonplace, that there\u2019d be hell to pay?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, absolutely. You look at the consequences. For example, if Strzok and Page —<\/p>\n

RUSH: What consequences? That\u2019s the whole…? I hate to interrupt. There aren\u2019t any consequences! That\u2019s the whole thing here. There aren\u2019t any. I don\u2019t mean to be shouting here. I am wildly gesticulating here, for those of you can\u2019t see it. There aren\u2019t any consequences! There haven\u2019t been any real consequences for the 9\/11 hijackers, as we have learned today. That\u2019s what\u2019s really wrong with all of this! They\u2019re getting away with this with impunity!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
