RUSH: There is also continuing testimony, which nobody is hearing about up on Capitol Hill, by the lawyers for the tech companies, Google and Facebook. In addition to what was learned yesterday that we passed on to you, the Facebook lawyer said that the Russian involvement, the buying of ads on Facebook, that happened after the election and it was oriented toward damaging Trump. The ads that ran on Facebook happened after the election, and their purpose was to do great damage to Trump after he won, the exact opposite of what people have been told that Trump colluded with Russia in order to screw Hillary.

the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, was on NBC Nightly News being interviewed by Lester Holt, and Lester Holt threw him a softball. (paraphrased exchange) “Look, you’re a big tech company CEO. We got lawyers from Facebook and Google up there testifying. What about all this collusion? What about all these ads that were run on Facebook and Twitter designed to help Trump and hurt Hillary?”

Tim Cook said, “That’s irrelevant. Those ads… Those ads, they don’t affect anybody. Maybe 1%. Maybe one-tenth of 1%. Those ads are irrelevant, Lester. Those ads had nothing to do with it.
