<\/p>\nRUSH: This is Tom in Reno, Nevada. And it\u2019s great to have you, Tom. What\u2019s shaking, what\u2019s happening?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, good morning, Rush. Longtime Dittohead since \u201988, I think. What I wanted to ask you, what I\u2019ve been wondering is, isn\u2019t it Obama who really gave cover to the investigation of General Flynn when he warned — I forget whether he was president already, inaugurated or just elected, President Trump about General Flynn?<\/p>\n
RUSH: That would be during the transition.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Right. So, didn\u2019t that lend legitimacy to, you know —<\/p>\n
RUSH: I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a fact — you mean lend legitimacy to what? That Flynn\u2019s a bad guy, that Flynn had done something because Obama warned Trump about him, or legitimacy to the investigation?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, both, absolutely. I mean, somebody is behind, or some people\u2019s organization, whatever, the swamp, Clintons, and I\u2019m convinced Obama is behind pushing the Mueller investigation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: Look, that\u2019s true. Obama is behind all of this because it was his DOJ people that did all of this and it was his FBI people. The Obama warning Trump about Flynn, that may be a part of it, but the thing you gotta know, Obama hated Flynn, he hated Flynn because Flynn was critical while a DIA head of Obama policy.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Has there been any news as to whether the highly ethical Robert Mueller has turned over the Flynn documents to Judge Sullivan yet? The deadline\u2019s 3 p.m. today. And of course there\u2019s nobody with more integrity or ethics in all of Washington than Robert Mueller. Ahem. Right?<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: I just got an interesting email during the break. Right as the previous hour was ending I was asking if anybody had heard whether or not Robert Mueller had sent the documents to the judge, Emmet Sullivan, that Sullivan has demanded. Sullivan has demanded to see every memo and every document regarding the Michael Flynn investigation. The Flynn sentencing is imminent, and the news recently has been — and Comey has been laughing about it and bragging about it — that Flynn was told he didn\u2019t need a lawyer.<\/p>\n
Now, I\u2019ve heard people say, “Well, Rush, he should have been smart enough to know that he did need a lawyer.” No. Wait a minute. They misled him. The point is they conducted an official interview with Flynn when he had no idea that\u2019s what was happening. Flynn\u2019s minding his own business, he\u2019s in the White House, and here comes McCabe from the FBI. Flynn ran the DIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, for 30 years.<\/p>\n
Obama hated him, by the way. Policy differences.<\/p>\n
So here comes McCabe from the FBI and Flynn says, “Hey, Andy, what\u2019s shaking?” McCabe says, “Hey, we\u2019re doing great. You got a minute for a chat?” They sit down and start talking. “No, no, no, you don\u2019t need a lawyer! No, no.” They send the signal, “There\u2019s nothing official here; we\u2019re just chatting,” and it was an official interview about Kislyak, the Russian ambassador, and whether or not they discussed Trump\u2019s sanctions and lifting them when he was inaugurated and all that.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/650-062717-Flynn-McCabe.jpg\")
They then charged Flynn with lying. Even though McCabe, who did the interview, said that he didn\u2019t think he had lied, Mueller still charged him with lying! Well, Judge Sullivan has heard about all this, so he wants to know what the hell\u2019s going on. So he\u2019s demanded every document relating to Flynn that Mueller has by three o\u2019clock today, and toward the end of the first hour I said, “Has the most ethical and most integrity of anybody in Washington Robert Mueller responded yet?”<\/p>\n
So I got an email during the break. “Rush, have you ever heard…? Has anybody from Mueller\u2019s office ever called you? ‘Cause you\u2019ve had some really critical things to say.” I had to stop. I looked at the email and I said, “You know, that\u2019s right. The emailer is right.” I have, on many occasions on this program, sort of mocked this idea that Robert Mueller has more integrity than 10 people in Washington, that he is the epitome of ethics and other than and integrity.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve made the point that if that were really true, this investigation would have been shut down as soon as he learned the Steele dossier — on which all of this was based — was phony! The minute anybody with any integrity figured out that Hillary Clinton\u2019s campaign bought and paid for that dossier and that it has nothing in it that to this day has been verified — and if the entire investigation into Russian collusion is based on that and it\u2019s a fraud — I stop the investigation and say, “There\u2019s nothing here.”<\/p>\n
But the most ethical, honorable man with integrity plus anyplace in Washington just kept persevering and persevering. He kept looking for whatever he could find, and here we are: Porn star payments in 2014. So the email says, “Are you worried? I mean, you are very critical of these guys,” and it got me to thinking. No, I\u2019ve not heard from anybody. But then again, I don\u2019t hear from very many people, if any. In fact, the guy that I heard from most often whenever I did criticize him was New Jersey governor Chris Christie.<\/p>\n
He\u2019d call here, off air, before the show started, “What the hell did you say? Somebody told me what you said.”<\/p>\n
I said, “Yeah, I said it.”<\/p>\n
“What did you mean?”<\/p>\n
But outside of Christie, I haven\u2019t heard from anybody. I try to put myself in other people\u2019s shoes, and this is how I think, and this is why I know I\u2019m naive. Let me pretend for a moment that I\u2019m Mueller and that everything about me that they\u2019re saying about Mueller is true. I am a paragon of virtue, and I am Mr. Integrity, and I have so much honor that it blinds everybody in Washington when they look at me.<\/p>\n
Okay. Set these things up as true in our little hypothetical.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/APP-050818-Mueller-Mr-Integrity.jpg\")
\nSo here I am Mr. Integrity, Mr. Honesty, Mr. Nobody Can Hold a Candle to Me in Terms of My Honor, and I hear this guy on the radio, and he\u2019s ripping me to shreds, and he\u2019s saying the things that I\u2019m doing are dishonest and not with any integrity. What would I do? Would I call that guy? If I\u2019m really all of those things and if I believe I\u2019m those things and if it\u2019s important to me to be considered Mr. Integrity and Mr. Honor and Mister This and That — if anybody is out there has got me so wrong — would I call them and try to tell them that they\u2019re wrong?<\/p>\n
I guess not.<\/p>\n
I mean, in Mueller\u2019s case, he doesn\u2019t talk to anybody.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s an investigator, of course, and a lawyer, and he\u2019s not talking to a soul.<\/p>\n
So there\u2019s no reason that he would call me — and so, thus, I\u2019m not surprised. But I thought it was worth answering the question. I do try to put myself in other people\u2019s shoes and ask how I would behave if I were exactly who it is said they are and I was doing exactly what they\u2019re doing. But you can\u2019t do that \u2019cause you\u2019re not anybody else. But it\u2019s a fun thing to pretend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
