They’re Trying to Convince You to Abandon Trump

RUSH: What are they talking about again? They’re talking about the Michael Cohen plea deal in which it is stated that a prominent candidate directed him to make payments to two women for their silence in violation of campaign finance law. It is not a violation of campaign finance law. If it were, there are 264 members of Congress vulnerable to charges.

Seventeen million has been paid out of a slush fund of taxpayer money to women who have accused members of Congress of sexual harassment or abuse. These are private contractual arrangements with nondisclosure agreements. There was no intent to avoid campaign law or any of the such. And they’re just running around talking about how, “Well, we could indict. We might indict. It could be an indictable thing. It could be something we would impeach over.”

.. the Drive-By Media pushing impeachment all weekend, and what this is… I mean, this is designed to do exactly what I have been warning everybody was coming. They’re trying to dispirit you.

They’re trying to make it harder for you to verbalize your support for Trump. They’re trying to make you doubt him. It’s all about driving his approval numbers down to the thirties. It’s about making you think this is a lost cause. “Trump can’t survive. He’s either gonna be impeached or he’s gonna be indicted — and do you want to support somebody like that?”

Look, they can impeach over anything if they want to try. And that’s why they’ve gotta get the numbers down. If they get Trump’s numbers down to 30% they’re gonna impeach him for the way he blows his nose! And they’ll come up with a way to call it a high crime or misdemeanor. They can impeach for it ’cause impeachment is a political act. It’s not criminal. And there’s no way that they’re gonna impeach in the House if they can’t get the votes of two-thirds of the Senate for a conviction.

And the only way they can do that is if they get the numbers down to 30 or lower.

These are private contractual payments agreed to by two people. There’s nothing illegal about it. In fact, Stormy Daniels wanted to break her NDA and go public with it, and the judge threw her case out … [nothing to do with campaign funds.]

[Yet,] President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign was fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission for campaign reporting violations — one of the largest fees ever levied against a presidential campaign, POLITICO has learned.

The major sticking point for the FEC appeared to be a series of missing 48-hour notices for nearly 1,300 contributions totaling more than $1.8 million — an issue that lawyers familiar with the commission’s work say the FEC takes seriously. The notices must be filed on contributions of $1,000 or more that are received within the 20-day window of Election Day.

[Where was the media revulsion about that?]
