RUSH: So, folks, to answer our last caller who said<\/a>, “I think… I think James Comey\u2019s… He\u2019s — he\u2019s engaged in a plan here to blow up all the corruption! Historians will see that it was Comey that enabled everybody to find out what kind of corruption\u2019s going on.” No, no, no. With all due respect, James Comey looked Hillary Clinton\u2019s crimes in the eye and saw nothing. James Comey usurped the responsibilities of the attorney general, Loretta Lynch, in order give Hillary Clinton a pass for whatever number of reasons.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What James Comey did with Hillary Clinton is no different than Kim Foxx, state\u2019s attorney, Cook County, Illinois, and Jussie Smollett getting a pass. Same situation, same result. And all of the so-called normal people who are held accountable to the rule of law day in and day out, are angry and incensed by this. We have two high-ranking law enforcement officials giving prominent leftist activists a total pass. Look, the rule of law is the glue that keep our society together. Many people think there\u2019s a lot of aspects of our culture that maintain its order and functioning.<\/p>\n

But the rule of law — and look at what\u2019s happened with failing to enforce immigration law. We don\u2019t even talk about illegal immigration anymore. We\u2019re so beyond looking at the law and the illegality there, that we\u2019ve got sanctuary cities! We\u2019ve got open lawlessness in cities and governorships aimed at the United States, via immigration law, because political considerations are considered more important than the rule of law. Well, once you\u2019re able to ignore the law with impunity — with no punishment, with not being held accountable — then the next time is easier, and the next time after that is easier.<\/p>\n

So if you get away with exonerating Hillary Clinton for whatever reason, she\u2019s allowed to break the laws that you list in a press conference, and you make up… You\u2019re Comey, and you make up something that\u2019s irrelevant. “Well, we couldn\u2019t find where she intended to do any of this.” The statutes that she had violated do not require intent. She had broken the law! She was given a pass. Somebody wanted Jussie Smollett to get a pass. We don\u2019t know who it is, but it is somebody that was able to tell Kim Foxx what to do.<\/p>\n

Somebody that had something on Kim Foxx or has a gigantic, big carrot stick hanging in front of her that she\u2019s got a really well-paid future if she does this. For all we know, somebody may have put Jussie Smollett up to this with the promise that he was gonna get away with it. Some lunatic leftist with money, some activist somewhere might have set this whole thing up in the ongoing lunacy of trying to get rid of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Everything the Smollett thing has is every cliche the left believes. Eric Holder is out there today<\/a>. “When do you think America was great?” He\u2019s only Obama\u2019s attorney general, and he\u2019s arguing with people over the concept of American greatness and American exceptionalism. As far as he\u2019s concerned, there isn\u2019t any. “Holder derided President Donald Trump\u2019s slogan ‘Make America Great Again\u2019 as a celebration of a mythology that ‘never really in fact existed…'” Guess where he said this.<\/p>\n
