\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: John in Kensington, Connecticut. It\u2019s great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: How do you do? Good afternoon. You know, I was thinking, this isn\u2019t a throwback to the nineties. This is a throwback to the seventies. When I heard Hillary say, you know, she was releasing 55,000 e-mails, it reminded me of Nixon sitting with, behind him, thousands of black three-punch-hole binders and saying, “I\u2019m releasing all this information,” and then when they opened the binders there was only like one page in each. And then she said, “I\u2019m not giving up this server.” It\u2019s like Nixon not wanting to give up Checkers, his dog. She doesn\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, if you want to go there, it would be like Nixon saying, “Okay, look, I have 24 hours of tapes here, and there\u2019s 18 minutes of it that\u2019s blank. But you can rely on my judgment there\u2019s nothing in those 18 minutes missing that you need to hear. So I\u2019ll give you the 23 hours and 55 or 44 minutes, whatever it is, of tapes. The 18 minutes that we don\u2019t have, don\u2019t worry, trust me. There\u2019s nothing there that\u2019s any use to you.” That would be the analogy.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Her voice sounded like Nixon\u2019s voice with the Checkers speech when she said, “I\u2019m not giving up the server” that had her private e-mails about her mother\u2019s funeral and her daughter\u2019s dress.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, yeah, I can see it. And, you know, she was involved in the Watergate investigation. She got thrown off by the lawyer heading up the Watergate investigation against Nixon. She was thrown off of it because of her mean-spirited, uncontrollable partisan nature. The State Department is now saying, by the way — and of course no surprise. The State Department\u2019s saying it\u2019s gonna take months to go through Hillary\u2019s e-mails. <\/p>\n

The election\u2019s gonna be over by the time they go through these things and release whatever they found \u2019cause it\u2019s paper. She printed out 30,000 some odd e-mails. There\u2019s no way to keyword it. There\u2019s no way to search anything. They\u2019re gonna have to rescan them and then subject them to OCR, which is not flawless. You always end up with typo-type errors when you optical character recognize. What an absolute mess. She\u2019s not giving up the server. <\/line><\/p>\n

She is not giving up a digital, electronic copy. She had them printed out and now some poor schlub… Can you imagine? And it was all done on purpose. (interruption) Hillary wanted to deny Nixon counsel. That\u2019s why she was thrown off the committee. She wanted to deny him a lawyer, and she hid her work on that committee, too. She was doing things that were not assigned and that nobody knew. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Ken in Springfield, Illinois. Glad you waited, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. It\u2019s great to be able to talk to you. This is my first time through, been trying many times. But it\u2019s great to talk to you, and I want to thank you for all that you do for the conservative movement.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you, sir. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, my thinking is if I… Now, at this point, Hillary, of course, is a private citizen. If you were holding a server in my home as a private citizen that had sensitive federal documents on it, would the FBI not be at my door today wanting to seize that server?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think that would be a natural concern that you might have, yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Yeah, that —<\/p>\n

RUSH: It does come down… There\u2019s an interesting question, and I don\u2019t know that — I haven\u2019t followed this, I mean, every dotted I and crossed T, but has it been discovered, has it even been discussed who owns this server? Is it hers or did the State Department pay for it and put it in her house? Does anybody know?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, it seems to me that she has made the comment that it\u2019s a personal server, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that she paid for it, I suppose. So that\u2019s a good know. I don\u2019t know who actually paid for the server. It would certainly make even a stronger case that if taxpayer dollars were used to pay for it, that we would certainly be able to acquire the server. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I guarantee you this. Clinton dollars didn\u2019t pay for it. It might have been the Sultan of Brunei or somebody like that that did, but Clinton dollars didn\u2019t pay for it. Clinton dollars don\u2019t buy anything.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, it\u2019s just interesting to me that we see people who happen to hack into government systems, and of course every computer in the house is confiscated. But here is a situation where we know a server holds potentially confidential information on it, and it\u2019s just sitting there, and it\u2019s not gonna be turned over.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019ll tell you what. The FBI seized David Petraeus\u2019 e-mails.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So, your instincts are right. The FBI seized his.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It is a felony to hold federal government documents, and when you leave the State Department, there\u2019s a whole form. Andrew McCarthy sent it to me today. I didn\u2019t have a chance to go through all of it, but it clearly spells out the felonious violations if you do not comply with Title 18 and Title 50 requirements in this form of turning over property that\u2019s not yours when you leave the State Department.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s all kinds of, you would think, exposure here. The FBI, still in Benghazi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
