<\/p>\nRUSH: By the way, do you remember in the past six months or so, maybe not that many, maybe three months, do you remember all of the just seemingly out of the blue attacks on Mitch McConnell? I mean, from people that in a normal day may not even know who Mitch McConnell is. He\u2019s the Senate majority leader. Do you think half of Hollywood knows who the Senate majority leader is without being told?<\/p>\n
And yet here come these massive attacks on Mitch McConnell. I think we know why. I\u2019m gonna tell you something, folks. I think that the Achilles\u2019 heel for the Democrats in this whole impeachment hoax has been turning it over to the unhinged Pencil Neck. They have allowed Adam Schiff to run this operation. It isn\u2019t Nadler. Nadler is just another committee chairman out there that\u2019s offering a backup effort.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But they\u2019ve literally put all of their eggs in Pencil Neck\u2019s basket, and he\u2019s gonna catch all of them up in his series of lies about the whistleblower. How early before the whistleblower he was aware of the whistleblower; how he walked the whistleblower through the whole process; how Schiff assured everybody Trump would never release the transcript of the call thereby never blowing the game.<\/p>\n
Adam Schiff has this fake, soft-spoken, so-called sober and judicious veneer. It masks a poisoned hatred that this man viscerally, personally has for Donald Trump. So they\u2019ve turned the impeachment hoax over to him. They thought he could hide behind closed-door winks and nod disclosures on the intelligence committee, spoon-feed his distorted slants of events to the media without cross-examination.<\/p>\n
But I\u2019ll tell you this. If — and it is highly likely that this happens — if Pencil Neck and his staff did in fact strategize and coordinate with whistleblower 1, and if he lied about it, then he was gonna ultimately be investigating himself and will be questioning himself and his own lies and his conflict of interest, because that\u2019s what it is, putting Schiff in charge of this has led to a gigantic conflict of interest.<\/p>\n
There is nothing bipartisan about the inquiry. There is nothing objective about the inquiry. This is a total conflict of interest by a person with a personal visceral hatred for Trump who is running a farce that is going to be blown up. Adam Schiff is a plotter. This guy has been plotting like they plotted the Kavanaugh attacks, and what is he investigating? He\u2019s investigating so-called plotting. Yeah, Trump plotted with the president of Ukraine to investigate Plugs Biden and his son Hunter.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-092718-Kavanaugh-1.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Well, guess who\u2019s the real plotter here? It\u2019s Adam Schiff! Once he pulled the trigger on this Pelosi had to back him. I think we\u2019ll never know, and Pelosi will never say, but I will bet you in private that Nancy Pelosi ruse the day that she believed what Schiff told her about all this and let him run with it because now he\u2019s the face of it.<\/p>\n
And they couldn\u2019t have chosen somebody who has more conflicts, who is more dishonest, who is more irrational. I mean, the open faced lying about the testimony of Kurt Volker last week is easily refuted with a transcript of his testimony. And there were people in there who heard the testimony. They are called Republicans.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know what it\u2019s like to be these Republicans, but I can guess. I would imagine that there is so much frustration with Schiff getting away with all of these blatant lies about the Volker testimony to the committee. Knowing that the ultimate target here is a couple of Republicans in the House, a couple Republicans in the Senate.<\/p>\n
So this is why I think Schiff needs to be exposed because Schiff and his efforts are the primary mechanism by which the Democrats are seeking to peel off some Republicans. And that\u2019s why I think their movement, their effort here is so precariously balanced, because Schiff is not trustworthy. This is the guy that got caught lying about the contents of Trump\u2019s phone call from his chairman\u2019s chair, the House Intelligence Committee, lying through his teeth. When he\u2019s caught, \u201cIt was just a parody.\u201d<\/p>\n
So what the Democrats want is a couple of Republicans in the House and Senate, and then they want a long trial. They don\u2019t care. They know that Trump\u2019s gonna be acquitted, a long trial, bipartisan. The illusion is that Trump did it. The illusion is that he did collude with Russia, he did try to bribe and blackmail the president of Ukraine, even though there was never a quid pro quo. And this is what Volker adamantly told Schiff and his committee last week. There was no quid pro quo.<\/p>\n
In other words, Trump was not offering something that this guy would get if he did what Trump wanted. There was no attempted payoff. There was no attempted bribery. Did you see Debbie Dingell? This was a tweet by Ryan Fournier from three days ago. Debbie Dingell — she\u2019s the widow of the deceased Michigan Congressman John Dingell.<\/p>\n
The tweet is that representative Debbie Dingell, a Democrat, has just revealed that she was pressured to support impeachment against Trump. She was targeted by Tom Steyer. This lunatic billionaire who can\u2019t let go of climate change and MoveOn.org. So Tom Steyer, MoveOn.org, pressured Debbie Dingell, a Democrat. They had to pressure her to vote for impeachment. The Democrats are the ones threatening people, not Trump. The Democrats are threatening people to get votes, just like they did with Kavanaugh.<\/p>\n
It is the Kavanaugh operation. They\u2019re putting all of their chips on this roll of the roulette wheel. They are determined to convince people that their Schiff-headed impeachment investigation is serious, that it is going to succeed, that they\u2019re not holding anything back, they\u2019re going to total war on Trump, and anything they will use, anything they can find or make up, it is now or never. Same Democrat playbook we\u2019ve seen time and again. Most recently with the Kavanaugh hearings.<\/p>\n
Remember when the first accuser\u2019s accusations don\u2019t get enough traction? Remember all the first accusers? \u201cYeah, he\u2019s a drunken sloth at frat parties. Oh, my God. The guy was horrible, he was rotten, he was an arrogant, conceded guy.\u201d That didn\u2019t get any traction. So they had in the drawer a letter from Christine Blasey Ford, another accuser.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-100719-Playbook-Schiff.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
In the Kavanaugh case, when Blasey Ford\u2019s claim about being held down on the bed didn\u2019t do the trick, the Democrats moved on to another witness who said that he spiked the punch to set up a rape train. Remember this? Every witness against Kavanaugh blew up and bombed out. First whistleblower here has blown up and bombed out. Guess what? We\u2019ve got a second whistleblower, may even be a Republican. And this one has firsthand knowledge.<\/p>\n
And then John Brennan put out a call to the entire deep state last week saying, “If you think you\u2019ve ever seen the president commit a crime, you have a duty to come forward.” He sent out a casting call, essentially, for more whistleblowers. So the Democrats are gonna have as many accusers as they need because they\u2019re all-in now.<\/p>\n
Adam Schiff has taken them all-in. They can\u2019t turn back. That\u2019s how far down this road they are. And it looks just like it did with Kavanaugh, which is right out of the Alinsky playbook.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: This is a story from — well, it\u2019s one of these reader print jobs that didn\u2019t print the links. But it\u2019s a story on the second whistleblower. And somebody sent this to me with a question, “Rush, why does this even matter?”<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the short little story. Yesterday Mark Zaid or Zaid, I\u2019ve never heard his name pronounced so I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s Z-a-i-d. I\u2019m not purposely mispronouncing it. I mean, given the cultural evolution of the country, it\u2019s probably al-Zaid or something. But whatever, he\u2019s the whistleblower attorney. This clown is from the Southern Poverty Law Center, for crying out loud. They\u2019re second only to the Democrat Party in hate group status in America.<\/p>\n
So this attorney who filed a complaint focused on the call between Trump and the Ukrainian president announced his firm is representing a second whistleblower. Zaid told George Stephanopoulos the second person, also an intel official, supposedly this time has firsthand knowledge.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just like the progression of accusers in the Kavanaugh hearings. The first level accuser would say drunken blob fool. That didn\u2019t stop it. So next they set up a rape train with the punchbowl. That didn\u2019t work so here came Christine Blasey Ford. It\u2019s the same thing here. The first whistleblower blown because Trump released the transcript. But now the second whistleblower has firsthand knowledge, may even be a Republican also, also is from the intelligence community. That\u2019s supposed to give them credibility.<\/p>\n
But it doesn\u2019t matter. You can have 12 of these people, and it doesn\u2019t matter what they heard. The transcript has been released. So why does the number of whistleblowers continue to expand? It\u2019s because they\u2019re creating the illusion to be seen or perceived by news consumers that there are countless patriots in the Oval Office who are simply shocked and saddened by what they see, and they can no longer keep quiet about it. They\u2019ve gotta tell somebody. It\u2019s so horrible for America.<\/p>\n
And you couple this with the ongoing effort of these people to pick up a couple Republicans on this thing to be able to claim they\u2019ve got a bipartisan impeachment movement here. This is their 2020 campaign move. This is it! Not drug prices. Not health care. Not illegal immigration. Not even gun control! Nothing to do with foreign policy. The entire campaign, 2020, for the Democrat Party is getting rid of Donald Trump with this illusion that it\u2019s a bipartisan effort. They want a trial to go long so that they can continue to mischaracterize what the trial is about.<\/p>\n
Some Never Trumpers are even out there admitting that this is what their objective is, a long trial allowing us to further this illusion and this characterization that Trump is filthy, dirty.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Next audio sound bite is Congressman John Ratcliffe, member of the Judiciary, Intelligence, Homeland Security committees. He was on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo yesterday, and he said that Attorney General Barr has the report on FISA abuse during the 2016 election from the inspector general and that it\u2019s gonna be released Friday.<\/p>\n
He said the inspector general\u2019s testimony on Friday will shock you with respect to his investigation into the contacts between Adam Schiff and his staff on the Intelligence Committee and the whistleblower. He said, the bottom line is Adam Schiff is a material fact witness in this investigation. He shouldn\u2019t be running it. Here\u2019s the actual sound bite. Maria Bartiromo asks Ratcliffe — he\u2019s from Texas — said, “Tell us what you learned from the IG\u2019s testimony on Friday.”<\/p>\n
RATCLIFFE: The inspector general\u2019s testimony on Friday will shock you with respect to his investigation into the contacts between Adam Schiff and his staff on the intelligence committee and the whistleblower. And when you see the transcript and you see what investigation was performed I think any fair person is going to agree with me that Adam Schiff is a material witness, his staff are material witnesses, and the only way we can get good answers is to put them under oath about the type of contact, the extent of which they had with the whistleblower.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-092519-Trump-Ukraine-Transcript-001.jpg\"){kind=spacer}
RUSH: Now, let me tell you what this is gonna say. We talked about it last week. Schiff did not tell anybody that the whistleblower on this Trump-Ukrainian president phone call first contacted him. The whistleblower got hold of Schiff. Collusion right there asking Schiff what\u2019s the best way to use this to get Trump, essentially.<\/p>\n
So Schiff walks the whistleblower through the process, sends him over probably to some lawyers on the Intelligence Committee staff to write the complaint, and then it goes, Schiff says now you take this to the inspector general. And you don\u2019t tell anybody you came here.<\/p>\n
Well, it\u2019s come out that Schiff knew about this way back in August and shepherded the whole process. That\u2019s why Ratcliffe says he\u2019s a fact witness. This guy\u2019s involved in the conspiracy here! And again, with the transcript released, it blows all this to smithereens anyway. I\u2019m telling you, Schiff is the focus of this. They\u2019ve put their eggs in his basket, and he doesn\u2019t have the weight to carry this thing through, morally.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Back to the phones to Salem, Oregon. Sean, great to have with us, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, Rush. Good to talk with you. Thanks for taking my call. My name is Sean, and I just had a comment regarding your opening monologue when you mentioned that you believe that for the left and Democrats — including the media — this has now become their full push and campaign for impeaching the president. You made it so succinct that it clicked, because I\u2019ve made a couple observations recently that all the airtime… They\u2019re flooding media. Whether it\u2019s on your computer, internet, or it\u2019s on cable news, they\u2019re flooding media with impeachment.<\/p>\n
And in doing so, they\u2019re not giving time to their own candidates. And as a result of that, I\u2019ve concluded in my own head that they\u2019re pushing their chips all-in and it\u2019s a tell. I don\u2019t think they believe any of their candidates can beat the president. When you see that they\u2019re sending reporters out to communities in battleground states and they\u2019re galvanized with the president, it\u2019s really backfiring on them, even when they\u2019re not even giving airtime to their own candidates.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I really appreciate the way you put that together that they\u2019re all-in on this. But like you said, it\u2019s not going the way that they believe it is. They\u2019re floating stories out there now even, a former Trump executive with Trump corp said that, you know, maybe he\u2019ll resign. I mean, they\u2019re floating everything they can out there. Even Hillary —<\/p>\n

She said she had a bunch of family photos proving her Indian heritage, but she never produced them. These are the stories about her. Oh, and then there is the story that people haven\u2019t forgotten that the Wall Street Journal ran about ten days ago claiming that Wall Street doesn\u2019t want any part of her based on what her stated agenda is. These are all Democrat donors, Wall Street donors. Don\u2019t think that Wall Street and Republicans go together anymore. They don\u2019t.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-032219-RINO-GOP-Capitol.jpg\")
All they need is a couple Republicans in the Senate, a couple Republicans in the House to vote for this and they can run around and the media, \u201cBipartisan, bipartisan, both parties say Trump\u2019s gonna go.\u201d And that will be the essence of their campaign.<\/p>\n
