McCabe Emerges to Brag as the Russia Hoax Collapses

RUSH: So this is kind of classic. We have Andrew McCabe and his new book.

Now, this guy was one of the ringleaders of this coup to get rid of Donald Trump, and he’s got a new book out, and 60 Minutes is helping him push and promote the book, and he is bragging about this. He is bragging about his efforts to undermine and overthrow Trump. He’s admitting, essentially, that he and his buddies put in motion a silent coup to get rid of Donald Trump. He admits that the talk of wiring Rosenstein to entrap Trump in an Oval Office conversation was real.

Rosenstein and others have been laughing it off and denying it. But McCabe is out there admitting that it is all true. He says every day in the White House, even today, every day in the White House is a new low. It’s almost as though he wants great credit here for what he did. But in the process of bragging about this, we are learning his motivations.

The timing of this, however, could not be more delicious. … Within the past week or two — it has been — and even longer than that — over the past two weeks it has been leaking very slowly, very surely, that the Mueller report isn’t gonna have anything about collusion with Russia in it. And actually these leaks began maybe more than a month ago.

And then Trump’s lead lawyer at the beginning of all this, John Dowd, said, “There isn’t gonna be a report. He’s got nothing. There isn’t anything in this.”

Even if the report’s got nothing in it, the media from now through the 2020 election is gonna be acting like it does. They’re doing a 180 now. And they’re acting like, “Well, wait a minute. We never, ever, said that there was collusion.” They really are. They’re now starting to take the position, now that everybody knows that this report may not even be made public and that it does not have any evidence whatsoever of Trump-Russia collusion, there are elements of the media now saying, “Well, wait! We never said that there was!”

The term for this is gaslighting (to manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity). They’re gaslighting us. They’re literally trying to make us believe that what we’ve thought for the past two years has been wrong, that they have not been pushing the collusion theory. I mean, it’s stunning to see this. And I will have examples of this as the program unfolds before your very eyes and ears today.

Everybody’s now tamping down expectations. And there’s more and more. Now, the point of this, what a rotten time for McCabe’s book to hit! Here’s McCabe’s book bragging about and making the case for his silent coup to get rid of Trump. At the same time, the Mueller people are leaking they’ve got nothing.

In a decent and sane world, this would be so embarrassing to McCabe that he would be trying to hide right now. He would not be going on 60 Minutes and he would not be publicizing this book…

In the midst of all the players knowing they found nothing, they’ve got nothing, there was nothing to find — that they have been running a hoax, that they’ve been running a silent coup –the damage that they have done to this country in the past two years is immeasurable, and there needs to be a brand-new special counsel impaneled to investigate everybody from Mueller and everybody on his team, to McCabe, to Comey, to Strzok, to Bruce Ohr, to every one of these people all the way up to Fusion GPS, the Perkins Coie law firm, Hillary Clinton, the Democrat National Committee, all the way up to Brennan and Clapper and maybe even Obama, because that’s the root of this.
