Rush's Take

Here's Rush Limbaugh's take on the media-driven hoopla over the payments to two women allegedly in violation of campaign finance law by President Trump:

RUSH: Aw, man. You know, folks, it’s so frustrating. I have warned so many people, so many times, that we were headed right where we are. Remember when I told you what the objective of this investigation of Trump was? To get his numbers down to 30% or less so that he would lose all of his Republican support and either be impeached or forced to resign?

Well, here we are, folks. That is exactly, in a nutshell, what all of this is about. And the icing on the cake for these people would be impeaching Trump and convicting him or waiting ’til he leaves office and then indicting him and sending him to jail then. It’s all been so, so predictable. 

You might say, what happened to Russian collusion? What is this stuff about Cohen paying off porn stars at Trump’s behest and somehow this is an illegal campaign contribution when in fact, do you remember — I don’t know how many times we mentioned this. Members of Congress have set up a fund paid for by taxpayers where women who allege that they’ve been abused by these members of Congress are paid! Members of Congress have a slush fund, essentially, set up where these kinds of things get paid off, and nobody alleges a crime, nobody alleges campaign contribution violations, nobody alleges anything of the sort. 

Nobody alleged anything of the sort when Obama was caught cheating on campaign contributions to the tune of $2 million. I mean, Russian collusion? This is what happens when you appoint a special prosecutor and do not list a crime for him to investigate, which is a violation of Justice Department regulations. But they did it anyway. 

Rosenstein appoints Mueller and says, “Have at it, buddy.” And so Mueller digs up all it is stuff and passes some of it off to the Southern District of New York where people said, “Well, it can’t be SDNY, that can’t be bad for Trump.” 

It’s all bad for Trump. Every bit of this has been bad for Trump from the get-go. Trump has been the sole target of all this from the get-go. And going after all of these ancillary people, like Cohen and Manafort and Papadopoulos, it has all been about Trump. And here we are with the Democrats on the verge of taking control of the House of Representatives — warned everybody what gonna happen if they won — nothing but interminable investigations, interminable subpoenas. 

And while it is accurate to say it’s highly doubtful any genuine criminal activity has occurred here, that is irrelevant to the objective, which is to get rid of Donald Trump and, as a by-product, to tell each and every one of his supporters “don’t ever do this again.” To tell anybody who might like to try to run for president under the same techniques and principles that Trump did, “Don’t you try it. This is what’s going to happen to you.”

This is nothing less than an attempted coup d' etat by the Democrats and driven by the media.
