RUSH: I have now had time to figure this out. I had it figured out five minutes ago, but I only had 10 seconds to tell you. Now I have a little bit more time. Greetings and welcome back. Rush Limbaugh here, your guiding light through all of this muck and murk. Great to have you. The telephone number is 800-282-2882. The email address is ElRushbo@eibnet.us.<\/p>\n

Okay, I probably should not proffer an opinion on Manafort\u2019s lawyers. I wasn\u2019t there. I didn\u2019t see any of it.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t do anything but read transcripts of it. I just… I have this overall belief that people on our side still do not know what we are up against and then believe that we can make hay by being nice and being respectful of the left and honorable and all of this. I just don\u2019t know that we have enough people on our side who realize the nature of the life-and-death-for-America war that we are in, and that every day has its own special set of circumstances, battles, confabs, what have you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Imagine you\u2019re Paul Manafort today. How long did you work for Donald Trump? Four months? Four months out of your life means that you are going to spend the last years of your life in jail, 7-1\/2 years. The guy\u2019s in a wheelchair. He\u2019s 70-some-odd years old. Even though the judge disputed this today, I don\u2019t know how. One of the points made by Manafort\u2019s lawyers was that none of this would ever have been brought. None of the charges would have been filed.<\/p>\n

There certainly wouldn\u2019t have been trials on any of this if not for this special counsel investigation into something that didn\u2019t happen. The judge just blew that up and said (paraphrased), “That\u2019s not true. I resent that. These are legitimate charges, and they have nothing to do with Russian collusion, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m making the point and so forth.” Yeah, but Manafort would have never been pursued. The Department of Justice looked at stuff Manafort had done years ago and gave it a pass. Anybody that wants to sit there and deny that Manafort got — and I don\u2019t know the guy.<\/p>\n

Folks, I\u2019m not here defending Manafort. We have a justice system here that is obviously two-tiered, and it\u2019s obvious that we have a preferred class in this country. There are our elites, whoever they are (and everybody in that elite group seems to know who they are) and then there\u2019s everybody else. Now, that\u2019s always been the case. But the elites of today seem to want to wipe out everybody else, just eliminate everybody else, brush us all off the playing field. I don\u2019t know how this judge can say that Manafort would have faced what he faced if there hadn\u2019t been a special counsel.<\/p>\n

Nobody would have found anything. Nobody would have charged him with anything. All of this was done by the special counsel\u2019s office to create this ongoing illusion that there was collusion between Trump or the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 election. So Mueller\u2019s got his guilty pleas. Now, the business that I found difficult to understand is that Manafort had pled guilty to state crimes that weren\u2019t even charged.<\/p>\n

This is back in the original plea when he started pleading guilty to various things, seeking leniency and trying to cooperate with Mueller. For some reason that I have not yet been able to figure out, his lawyers went ahead and let him plead guilty to crimes in states that had not been charged. He hadn\u2019t been charged with any yet; so he pleads guilty to them anyway. Those charges involve defrauding banks in the states where he did business, and that would include California, New Jersey, and Virginia — oh, and New York.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But why plead guilty to charges that have not yet been filed? Obviously you\u2019re trying to curry favor, you\u2019re trying to show cooperation, you\u2019re trying to get leniency, what have you. Well, what has happened? Almost instantly after the judge announced her sentence, New York State indicted Manafort for bank fraud and any number of other things. What this does is eliminate any possibility at all of a pardon meaning anything. Donald Trump cannot pardon state crimes. No president can.<\/p>\n

So whatever federal crimes that Manafort pled guilty to, Trump can pardon him from those, but the states — and Manafort\u2019s pled guilty! He\u2019s pled guilty before the charges, so now these come down with the indictments and Manafort\u2019s already pled guilty to them. (chuckles) Somebody want to explain to me how in the world this is allowed to happen? I\u2019m talking about by the legal team. Look, I\u2019m being very, very reserved about this because I was not there, and I don\u2019t know anything at all about Manafort\u2019s lawyers nor the relationship he has with them.<\/p>\n

So I probably shouldn\u2019t be, but I\u2019m incredulous. If I\u2019m in this situation and my lawyers say, “We think you should plead guilty to things they haven\u2019t charged you with yet,” I\u2019m gonna be looking at them and scratching my head and saying, “What? Why?” “We think that this will impress the prosecutor! This will impress them that you\u2019re cooperating and that you\u2019re not gonna be a troublemaker.” “But a guilty plea? And they haven\u2019t even charged yet?”<\/p>\n

Well, now they have, and they\u2019ve got the guilty plea. He pled guilty before he was charged. Now the charges have been filed. They include bank fraud — and, I mean, it was instantaneous in the State of New York. It was instantaneous that he was charged with state crimes immediately after Judge Amy Berman Jackson had sentenced him. So you can read the tea leaves as well as I can. Manafort is the highest-ranking campaign official.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s now pled guilty, period. In the Robert J. Mueller investigation of Trump-Russia collusion, Manafort has pled guilty, period. Now he has been charged with committing state bank fraud to which he\u2019s already pled guilty. So you can imagine the news stories that are being written right now. (impression) “In the matter of the Trump-Russia investigation, spearheaded by the brilliant Robert J. Mueller, campaign official Paul Manafort has pled guilty to four counts of…” Period.<\/p>\n

And then a bunch of local yokels running around (impression), “Did you hear? Wow! Wow! Trump\u2019s campaign manager pled guilty to this collusion stuff!” No, he didn\u2019t. But the media\u2019s not gonna be specific about it. So you create the illusion, \u2019cause remember, everything is about driving Trump\u2019s approval numbers down. So we shall see.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019ve got Jeffrey in Cleveland, which may now be the powerhouse in the AFC north in the National Football League. You gotta be feeling good today if you\u2019re a football fan up there, Jeffrey.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m a Pittsburgh Steelers fan.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re a Steelers fan. Then you gotta be feeling really down in the dumps and wondering what the hell happened to the great culture of your team.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have been, yes. Anyway, they said keep this short. I know why Manafort\u2019s pleading guilty to every charge they\u2019ll throw at him.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Tell me.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Well, there was a case in December brought before the Supreme Court. I think it\u2019s U.S. v. Gamble where a person was charged in state court for possessing a firearm, got a year in jail. And then the Feds prosecuted him and gave him another two years, and there\u2019s a double jeopardy issue going before the court now. Hasn\u2019t been decided. In Manafort\u2019s first trial, there were seven hung juries — I mean seven hung counts that he never was prosecuted again on, and any count that he was tried the second time that he wasn\u2019t charged with, he can be charged in the state of New York for. Any count that he pleads guilty to, anything that he\u2019s been held in jeopardy of, if Gamble was ruled in favor that it\u2019s not allowed for a second trial, the state of New York can\u2019t try him for any of the charges he\u2019s pled guilty to because of double jeopardy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Does the state of New York not know this?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, the state of New York knows it. They had not been ruled on yet. Once Gamble is ruled on, even if these charges were held to be true, there\u2019s still seven charges where he hasn\u2019t been retried in the first trial. So it\u2019s in Manafort\u2019s best interests to plead guilty to every count that they throw at him, because that\u2019s one less count the state of New York can go after.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, but that\u2019s the thing. They didn\u2019t throw anything. He was pleading guilty to charges that had not been filed or even mentioned to him. He was pleading guilty to state charges. Now, I\u2019m going to have to take this under host advisement, because you may be right about this to one degree or all of it, because on the surface it makes no sense to plead guilty to things in state jurisdictions that have not even been charged yet. But yet they did. Manafort\u2019s lawyers had him plead guilty to a bunch of state charges that hadn\u2019t even been filed.<\/p>\n

Well, now we\u2019ve got the sentencing in federal court, and here comes the state of New York, I mean lickety-split announcing these new indictments of bank fraud and mortgage fraud, is what it is in New York. And whole point of this — folks, this is vindictive, totally vindictive. This is to deny the effectiveness all of Trump pardon. Trump can pardon Manafort from the seven-and-a-half years he gets here in federal court, but whatever they give him in state court, Trump cannot pardon him for that.<\/p>\n

I guarantee you what Mueller, Weissmann, what these people are thinking, this is really a bad bunch of people in this special counsel\u2019s office. I mean, they have ruined so many lives of innocent people in the Enron cases, the Nigerian barge case which I went into great detail about late last year. Some people at Merrill Lynch lives, years in jail having not been found guilty of anything. It was audacious. Suborning perjury of a star witness in the Ted Stevens case.<\/p>\n

These are the people that are on Mueller\u2019s team. And this state action is coordinated action with the state of New York attorney general, even the SDNY — of course that\u2019s federal, but it is designed to make sure that Manafort spends time in jail no matter a Trump pardon. This is just flat-out, pure, mean-spirited. I don\u2019t know what else it is. It\u2019s vindictive.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I checked something here during the break. I believe New York State had to change their law to allow the attorney general to go after Manafort, because previously it was considered to be double jeopardy to go after a federal convict on similar charges. I have a New York Times story here from April 18, 2018<\/a>. So this is about 11 months ago. Quote, “Attorney general Eric Schneiderman…” More on him in a minute.<\/p>\n

“Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman of New York is moving to change New York state law so that he and other local prosecutors would have the power to bring criminal charges against aides to President Trump who have been pardoned, according to a letter Mr. Schneiderman sent to the governor and state lawmakers on Wednesday.” Now, we haven\u2019t been able to find out if and when they changed the law. But I guess the move by New York State today to charge Manafort may mean they succeeded in changing the law to eliminate the double jeopardy aspect of it so they can go after him.<\/p>\n

\"\"But they clearly had to change the law, and Schneiderman a year ago was hell-bent on making sure Trump wasn\u2019t able to have any of his aides skate out of any of this by way of pardon. I\u2019m just telling you, the vindictiveness of the deep state here and these people to penalize anybody that had even… If they got within two feet of Donald Trump at any point, they\u2019re gonna try to get \u2019em on something to send the message that nobody else ever better try what Trump has tried here ever again.<\/p>\n

“Nobody better even think about it! We\u2019re gonna destroy you, we\u2019re gonna destroy your family, we\u2019re gonna destroy your kids. We\u2019re gonna take you out.” That is the message they are sending with Manafort. Now, let\u2019s go back to Eric Schneiderman for just a second, okay? He is now the disgraced former New York attorney general. Remember the stories of how he was beating the living crap out of a bunch of women? This guy was practicing rough sex. He was Sexual Abuse 101. He was into sexual harassment.<\/p>\n

He was forced to resign once the stories were made public. But guess what? The Manhattan DA didn\u2019t bother charging him with a crime. Eric Schneiderman was allowed to pretty much skate away after he resigned on all this stuff. Eric Schneiderman broke a woman\u2019s jaw and then afterwards forced her to perform a Lewinsky! The Manhattan DA couldn\u2019t care less. Now the New York attorney general who replaced Schneiderman is going after Manafort for mortgage application fraud! We have a two-tiered justice system here.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me spell something out for you on Paul Manafort. All of this today is all the evidence you will need of how livid these people after Trump, the people trying to destroy, how livid they are. There is a coordinated effort here to ruin Paul Manafort. It\u2019s a coordinated effort between the special counsel\u2019s office and the Manhattan DA, and it\u2019s all because Manafort did not give them what they wanted.<\/p>\n

Paul Manafort did not know any horrible things about Donald Trump. So he wasn\u2019t able to share them. There was no collusion with the Russians. Manafort had nothing to do with Russians ever. The only thing he had to do with was as a foreign lobbyist with Ukraine, which is an enemy of Russia and Putin. Paul Manafort had nothing to give them. And so he didn\u2019t give them anything, and they are livid!<\/p>\n

There is a visceral anger and hatred for Paul Manafort! They are mad at hell at this poor guy! In one sense, folks, this is terrifying what we\u2019re looking at here today. This man would not have been charged with anything he\u2019s going to prison for were it not for this bogus special counsel investigation, which was based on nothing as well other than that phony dossier.<\/p>\n

I just received a tweet here. I didn\u2019t get it. It was forwarded to me. Bernard Kerik, who worked with Rudy when Rudy was the mayor of New York, and Bernie Kerik tweeted, “This is the greatest demonstration yet of a politically motivated and corrupt Manhattan DA who preannounced his intent and then coordinated with Mueller\u2019s team to ensure that Manafort dies in prison. The U.S. attorney general must investigate this.” That\u2019s the demand from Bernie Kerik.<\/p>\n

\"\"Of course there should be an investigation, but there never is. The people that conduct themselves this way get away with it! They got away with it even after having been rebuked in the Ted Steven trial! And they\u2019re back at it again on the Mueller special counsel team.<\/p>\n

They want Manafort dead. They want him dead in prison because he didn\u2019t give them anything that would help them get rid of Trump, because he didn\u2019t have anything. And I guess he refused to make it up or recite as they say.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019ll go to Billings, Montana. This is Westin. Great to have you, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Great to talk to you. If I first could give a shout-out to my Uncle Trace and my father-in-law, Aaron. They\u2019ve influenced me in my life, and they\u2019re actually the reason why I am talking to you and I listen to you. So I thank them and thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re welcome, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But, anyway, my question is: Do you think Nancy Pelosi has seen the Mueller report? And if she has, is that why she said she won\u2019t talk impeachment about Trump?<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, I don\u2019t… I think the not impeaching Trump is a strategic statement that we can take with a proverbial grain of salt. Whether she has seen the Mueller report? I don\u2019t know that, either. But I will tell you that if I were to learn that the Hillary-supporting lawyers on the Mueller team had shared various elements of their report in advance with select Democrats, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anybody left in that town, folks, that\u2019s worth an honorable reputation.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re telling us, “Robert J. Mueller is an American hero. Robert Mueller is Mr. Integrity!” If that were true, he wouldn\u2019t have even taken the gig! If that were true, he would have shut this down after one week, after learning that all there is to this is a bogus dossier. I\u2019m really… This is a tough one for me, folks, because we keep being bombarded with character references on all of these people, and I know for a fact that many of the people that Mueller hired are not impeccable. They are not overflowing with integrity.<\/p>\n

They are hacks!<\/p>\n

\"\"They are political hacks.<\/p>\n

They engage in prosecutorial abuse and misconduct. They\u2019ve been documented for having done so. They\u2019ve been reprimanded by courts for having done it. I know the story of Mueller that he was valorous in Vietnam and rescued a hundred people and so forth — and more power to him. But I\u2019m telling you, honor and integrity don\u2019t mean what they mean if somebody can take a look at the fact that there\u2019s no evidence for anything that\u2019s been alleged and waste two years of the country\u2019s time on this.<\/p>\n

When all they\u2019ve got is that dossier, and everybody knows the history of the dossier. We know the pedigree, the providence. We know that it was bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton. We know that a guy that hates Donald Trump — Christopher Steele, who\u2019s out of work at the time, a retired British agent — gets hold of some sleazy former Russian agents and they start making some things up, like Cohen in Prague and Carter Page is an agent and Trump hiring prostitutes to urinate on a bed.<\/p>\n

We know that Trump was set up by Comey.<\/p>\n

We know that Rosenstein was thinking of wearing a wire.<\/p>\n

We know that these guys were personally affronted by Trump.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s anybody with integrity in this whole thing, they would have shut it down, and nobody shut it down. So I\u2019m having a tough time finding anybody with honor and integrity. And we\u2019re talking about within the confines of the law. Instead, we\u2019ve enabled people to use the limitless financial resources and power of the federal government to target somebody they don\u2019t like personally for ruination simply because that person had the audacity to win the presidency.<\/p>\n

So whether Pelosi has been advised or told that there\u2019s nothing to it so she\u2019s walking back impeachment? I don\u2019t think she has given up on impeachment at all! I don\u2019t… I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what Pelosi meant. She\u2019s just… They\u2019ve got polling data. If she has been given a heads-up by Mueller\u2019s team… I really don\u2019t know if that\u2019s happened, and I guarantee you that most people in Washington will tell you (impression), “No, Mueller would never do that! Robert Mueller is impeccable.<\/p>\n

“Robert Mueller would never share any of the results of his investigation with any political person. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.” Well, maybe Mueller wouldn\u2019t, but who knows the stink bombs on his team. But I think what Pelosi probably has more than Mueller\u2019s little inclinations is polling data that shows that there is not anywhere near a majority of people in the country that want Trump impeached!<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s why she\u2019s dialing it back in terms of rhetoric. But don\u2019t for a minute believe that Pelosi and the rest of her team don\u2019t want to impeach Trump. This clown Al Green said, “Screw Pelosi! I\u2019m gonna introduce my own articles,” and you\u2019ve got Maxine Waters basically saying the same thing. So Pelosi\u2019s efforts to tamp this down are not even working within her own party. I appreciate the call out there, Westin.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here is Ed in Elgin, Illinois. Great to have you, Ed. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good afternoon, Rush. Thank you for the illuminating beacon from the Florida EIB lighthouse that\u2019s shining coast to coast and clear up here in the Midwest.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Real quickly I\u2019d like your illumination on the possibility that the Mueller, all that stuff, all of the attacks on President Trump, that those are all diversions while the Democrats slowly and deliberately fill red states especially with illegal immigrants that can then be voting soon by law one way or another in 2020 and beyond.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So your theory is that the Russia meddling thing, the Mueller special counsel investigation, all of this is simply a distraction to get everybody looking at that while the left floods the southern border with illegal immigrants and then funnels \u2019em to the red states, securing a Democrat future?<\/p>\n

As time has gone on and as I have hosted this program, this theory comes up with every issue. There\u2019s one variation, “Rush, you\u2019re missing it. You\u2019re missing it. You\u2019re letting \u2019em get away with distracting you. This isn\u2019t about — I don\u2019t care what it is. It\u2019s about getting us to not be noticing all this illegal immigration.” Except that we\u2019re noticing it. We\u2019re noticing it. And nobody\u2019s happy about it.<\/p>\n

I appreciate the idea the Democrats are so crafty that they could get everybody distracted from what they\u2019re really doing, except we\u2019re not distracted. We notice it. And I also know that their hatred for Donald Trump and what happened in 2016 is real. It is visceral and real. The problem at the border notwithstanding, all this other stuff is legitimate too.<\/p>\n

But I don\u2019t think it\u2019s happening stealthfully. I don\u2019t think anybody\u2019s not aware that it\u2019s happening. That\u2019s one of the reasons everybody\u2019s so ticked off about it. We see it happening. And Trump has made numerous efforts to stop it, and people continually try to undermine him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
