Back we are, Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, the telephone number.

Before we get to the Eric Holder stuff on Ferguson and the just released report.
I that that that report totally exonerates.
Police officer Darren Wilson.
This report verifies, acknowledges, establishes, proves that there was not a single viable legitimate reason for protesters in St. Louis in Ferguson to be engaging in their activities based on the belief that the gentle giant had his hands up and was surrendering.
It's been totally obliterated.
It didn't happen.
It was totally manufactured, and none other than the State Department, the Justice Department of Eric Holder have made it official today.
Actually, it happened.
It happened yesterday.
But that doesn't mean that Holder didn't throw the protesters a few bones, because he certainly did.
He said despite all of this, they were perfectly warranted and justified in their protests.
But keep in mind, hands up, don't shoot, was the bogus claim.
It never happened.
The witnesses who lied have been identified by number.
The witnesses who lied have been re confirmed how they tried to intimidate other witnesses who were telling the truth.
This was a full-fledged left wing operation on the ground from the get-go.
And it has been totally sold out and undercut by none other than Eric Holder at the Department of Justice.
And believe me, if there were just the slightest bit of evidence that would allow the DOJ to write this report other than the way they did.
They would have, but it was so clear-cut.
So for how many months was this country operating under a bogus theme?
How many months were the people of this country worked up into a frenzy over an out and out lie?
And in fact, series of lies.
That were known at the time, highly suspected at the time to be lies.
That didn't matter.
Had to push the agenda forward.
Didn't matter.
Now where does Officer Wilson go to get his life back?
He's still under threat.
His life, his uh family, everybody still living under viable threat.
Where does he go to get his life back?
Where does he go to get his reputation back?
He did his job.
He did his job.
He executed his job flawlessly.
That's in the DOJ report.
But Holder had to give him something, so he came out in the same report.
Yes, maybe the officer was not guilty of anything, but the department is racist that it can be.
Traffic stops.
Details are coming up.
Some more soundbites on Hillary just from the drive-by media, just so you can hear some.
Here's Anrian Mitchell and BC News in Washington on the Today Show today.
And she um she just one of the many in the drive-by is that are seemingly really, really mystified and upset by what Hillary has done here by having her own email server.
Two days after the controversy over her use of private emails as Secretary of State first erupted, Hillary Clinton has given her first response on Twitter, as you say, but that still may not reassure some Democrats about the way she's handled this issue.
Even some supporters say it will take one more tweet to get past this episode.
It will take one more tweet or more than one tweet.
I It's gonna take one more tweet to get past this episode.
Hillary tweeted last night at midnight that she wants her email seen.
She wants everybody to see her emails.
That's why she had her own server where nobody could ever see them.
because she wanted people to see them.
Yeah, look, I'm just going to keep saying it, folks, because I'm...
maybe when I keep articulate, maybe something will pop into my head to explain this to me.
Of all the things for Democrats, Democrat operatives, and the media to get upset enough to throw Hillary Clinton overboard.
Is this something about this has them unified in their belief that she's not qualified?
that she is a time bomb ticking away, ready to blow at the absolute possible worst time, whenever it would be.
Here's Juan Williams, last night on the Fox News Channel's special report with Brett Baier.
Brett Bear said, you know, she eventually turned over 55,000 emails, but it took 22 months after she left office and a request from the State Department to do that.
What do you see about this one?
I think I see that you have a, I think a rather entitled Hillary Clinton who felt like she was going to have a private avenue of communication.
It opens doors to all manner of questions, and of course to her critics, especially folks in the Benghazi investigation who think, gosh, something may have been hidden there.
And that's why this is a problem.
And it also relates to the earlier problem with the foundation and the fact that she was taking money from other countries.
It just piles up in that regard.
Okay, so let's let's take that comment.
Maybe there's something to learn from what Juan Williams just said.
Okay, Benghazi.
Now let's face facts.
How many of you in this audience think anything is going to happen to anybody in the government over Benghazi?
I don't believe anything's going to happen to Hillary or Obama or anybody over Benghazi.
We've been there done that.
The days have gone by.
But Juan Williams fears that this may legitimately reopen it.
Then the next thing he mentioned was all of the donations.
Now stop and think.
Here's Hillary Clinton, while Secretary of State soliciting big donations to her and Bills and Chelsea's foundation.
We learn of this news a couple weeks ago, and that news alone is not nearly enough to upset anybody.
And it's clear what she's doing.
She's selling advanced access to big-time foreign government donors on the cum.
This is on the premise that she's going to be elected president.
Give money to my foundation, and I will consider it the same as you giving money to me.
And I will keep you in mind when I become president.
Everybody knows what this is.
But that alone was not enough to upset anybody.
Neither was Benghazi.
Stop and think of that.
We've got four people dead in Benghazi.
The media didn't care.
The Democrats didn't care.
They did everything they could to shield Hillary on that, did everything they could to move that along and cover it up and say nothing to see here.
Blame it on the guy, the poor guy that did the video.
Then the donations, and they were millions of dollars from foreign governments to this foundation.
And in that isolated little sandbox, that didn't upset anybody.
So Ford Danid Benghazi, utter incompetence on display, didn't upset anybody.
Everybody in the Hillary camp, Democrat Party still working to help her circle the wagons and escape that controversy.
Ditto, all these big money donations to the foundation, nobody really cared.
They reported it, wasn't a big deal.
But all of a sudden, this email server business has got everybody in a tizzy.
And it's not because the emails were well, it is.
I think what's going on here.
And I'm just guessing, because if you ask me, Benghazi is in and of itself enough.
All we need to disqualify Hillary Clinton from further public office.
And if we didn't have Benghazi, these solicited millions of dollars of donations to her and her husband's foundation, while she's Secretary of State, everybody knows she's soliciting money for influence and payback for when she becomes president.
That's how she's raising it.
That didn't bother anybody.
Nothing to see there, nothing to see at Benghazi.
Come this email thing added to those two things, and all of a sudden there's panic and outrage and anger, and who knows whatever else on the Democrat side.
Could it be that their fear is that the very idea of Hillary having a private email server is going to prove and establish all these other just suppositions?
Are they what is that what it is they're worried about here?
Because on the scales, having your own private email server, and yeah, violating federal law, the Federal Records Act.
Yeah, but that doesn't bend the scales as much as four people dead in Benghazi because you're incompetence.
You heard Juan Williams that the email added to those other two things is enough, apparently, to break the camel's back.
Here's Judge Napolitano, who was on Fox last night, the Kelly file.
Megan Kelly asked the judge, is she in trouble legally?
She's in a lot of trouble legally.
If she retained on her personal email account using the Clinton server at her home or near her home in Chappaqua, New York, classified materials, classified documents.
She arguably violated the same statute that General Petraeus has agreed that he will plead guilty to.
That's a misdemeanor.
It's not a felony.
The other way that she's in trouble is a person who knowingly and willfully destroys or conceals government records.
This is a felony punishable in jail by up to three years.
And are you ready for this?
Disqualification from holding public office under the United States of America?
Yeah, well, that used to be it's in the Constitution.
That doesn't matter as much anymore.
They find a way around this felony thing.
Well, they're finding a way around illegal immigration.
Obama's talking about executive action for raising taxes.
What's so hard about seeing to it that a felon could run for office someday?
Hell, they're trying to legalize the felon vote now.
But now this Petraeus compared.
Now this is fascinating.
This is interesting to me, because Petraeus did plead guilty in order to avoid a trial, but what Petraeus did, Petraeus actually shared the classified data with a gorgeous woman, in some people's minds, mistress with whom he was having an affair.
Now, did Mrs. Clinton share any of this data?
This classified data with a gorgeous woman with whom she was having an affair.
Why bring up the Petraeus angle on this, I wonder.
Now there are similarities.
And not limited to a gorgeous woman with whom you're having an affair, between Hillary and General Petraeus.
Some of the similarities are Petraeus pled guilty to uh keeping a few classified documents at home on his home computer.
Hillary Clinton probably, possibly, had hundreds of classified documents on her home server.
I mean, she wasn't leaving him at work for crying out loud.
One of the reasons to do this is secrecy.
You know she had classified docs on that server.
And Petraeus pled guilty because he just had a few of them that he let his mistress see.
And Patraeus, if I'm not mistaken, was Petraeus brought down by emails, and there's a third party in this in Tampa, some woman in Tampa, but there were emails involved in tripping up uh Petraeus.
Yeah, Paula Broadwell was the gorgeous mistress of Petraeus.
And she had sent uh these threatening, well, maybe harassing emails to another woman in Tampa who apparently had designs on Petraeus, too.
And family friends of the Petraeus, so forth.
Anyway, they became known.
So there are some similarities here.
Here's Jeff in Colorado Springs as we go to the phones.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
Uh dittoes from frigid Colorado wishing for some global warming here.
But uh I remember several times in the past years you say, watch the Clintons.
They go underground when an issue pops up because they don't know what to lie about.
So I'm just curious on when someone's going to grab a hold, probably a media media person that says, look how brilliant she was.
I mean, we can't keep any of our government emails secure.
We have the NSA, Eric Snowden's threats against our infrastructure banks.
And look how brilliant she was.
Just on that alone, securing her own emails, she ought to be president.
That's how secure and savvy she is.
Now that is gonna grab a hold of that.
That is an interesting theory.
I remember I remember the uh the strategy that the Clintons used to employ.
When something like this happened, they would go to ground and they would wait and they would figure out what to lie about and what the lie was going to be.
They would go to ground with their war room people, who are now on ABC, by the way, interviewing them.
That would be Stephanopoulos.
How about that?
One of Hillary's former leading strategists, George Stephanopoulos, is now doing the news on ABC.
Anyway, good morning, America.
So the theory the caller has it is pretty good.
That at some point Hillary will pop up and say, hey, look, I had to take these drastic steps because we don't know what's secure these days and what isn't.
Look at Snowden.
Snowden was able to get into the NSA servers and hack them and release all these government secrets, and I was doing this to make sure that everything I was engaged in remained secure and private.
And rather than you people complaining about me breaking law, you should be praising me for coming up with my own initiative and my own ways to keep everything I was doing at our State Department secret and private and secure.
I could see that.
I literally could see that as a future Clinton defense.
But I still think something else is going on here.
Because in the old days when the Clintons would go underground and wait for the right moment to break out the explanatory lie, the media was not aiming for them.
The media was breathlessly waiting to support whatever lie they came up with.
Now there's something else going on.
Let me present to you another theory.
As you know, the progressive wing of the Democrat Party, which is perhaps the entire party now, really, really, really, really, really, really wants Elizabeth Warren to run.
I mean, they can taste it.
They want Elizabeth Warren to run.
They want her to be the next president.
They don't buy into this silly notion that Hillary Clinton is owed anything.
But there's a problem.
Elizabeth Warren has said numerous times, she will not run as long as Hillary is in the race.
That she is going to extend sisterly respect.
And she's not going to out here's her term.
She she says she is not going to provide the country with the B.I. itch battle.
She's not going to give them the show.
She's not going to give them the show of Hillary versus Elizabeth.
As long as Hillary's in there, and as long as Hillary wants it, Elizabeth Warren will bide her time and wait.
But the left really wants Elizabeth Warren.
They want her much more than they want Hillary.
So what if all of this is actually the media and the progressive wing of the Democrat Party just doing what you would normally expect them to do?
They want Elizabeth Warren.
She says, I'm not going if Hillary's in the race.
So everybody says, okay, we'll take Hillary out for you.
And all they're doing here, or what they're doing, is paving The way for Elizabeth Warren to get in by taking Hillary out.
And they're going to keep piling on Hillary?
We'll know if there's some credence to this theory, if they keep this up.
If this drum beat continues, if whatever excuse Mrs. Clinton offers is refuted and not accepted.
We will know.
It won't be very long, by the way.
How long will the media stay with this?
How much more intense will it get?
How much how much energy will they really add to what they've already expended in embarrassing or nailing Hillary?
If this doesn't run its course pretty soon, then we might want to conclude that the media and the Democrats, one and the same, are trying to clear the decks of Hillary so that Elizabeth Warren can get in without having to embarrass Hillary that way.
Back to the phones we go.
This is uh Vicky in Brooksville, Kentucky.
Welcome to the EIB now.
Are you snowed in where you are?
Did you Oh my gosh, we've got 15 inches of snow.
Yes, sir, we are.
I'm watching uh I'm watching the highway shutdown from uh from somebody Louisville.
It's it looks that nothing's moving for miles.
We're up by uh we're up about uh sixty-five miles from Cincinnati, um, southeast, and it is horrible.
We were in a snow emergency, nobody's a and the whole state is allowed to be on the roads except for emergency vehicles, so it's great.
Well, do you have uh plenty of canned goods uh stocked up?
Oh, of course.
We're country people, so we know how to survive.
Good.
If nothing else, we got beans to cook.
Yes, the old standbys.
Yes, sir.
Um it's an honor, and I thank you very much for taking my call.
Uh Hillary, I have two things to talk to you about.
So Hillary, not only did she use this private server for her email and government business, but she had Mrs. Wiener and several other of her close associates use that email only.
So it's not only her, but it's the commun communications between her and Mrs. Wiener.
Her assistant that could very well be government business.
It uh I just find her the most deceitful, dishonest, horrible human being, shrill, awful.
I can't I can't find enough words.
And um it it bothers me a great deal.
Yeah, but you see, here's the thing.
I I I understand what you're saying, but there's nothing new.
There's nothing new about that.
And I'm just wondering why it is that this email business has got everybody so in a tizzy.
Normally the Democrats would be circling the wagons to protect her on this.
Normally they'd be saying things, hey, you know what, she was ahead of the curve here.
Hillary Clinton was taking steps beyond what were necessary for security and privacy for the State Department.
She was ahead of the curve, she should be applauded.
That's the way they would normally handle a call.
Exactly right.
And I don't I don't feel like me.
I've been thinking about it since this hit the news.
And I was trying to figure out what is their game?
What is the point?
Because all of a sudden the press started saying they don't want her for summer.
I'm telling you, because they don't know.
And I don't understand what because uh before that, but Crus was like they were all a gog, you know, their mouths hanging open, it's Hillary, it's Hillary.
And all of a sudden they changed their mind.
Wait a minute.
Something's wrong here.
So that's how I feel about it.
I don't know what the heck is going on, but you know, and the funny thing about it.
Well, let me ask you a question.
Can I ask you just if you I it it's kind of hard for you to be objective, I know, but I want you to try.
I'll try.
No, no, sir.
I'm I'm being serious.
I'm not, I'm not this is no there's not a trick here.
I'm I'm genuinely interested.
When you heard me.
I said, go ahead and okay.
When when you heard that Mrs. Clinton had her own email server in her own email domain, and she was going outside the State Department.
Were you did did did that get a rise out of you?
I mean, did I get a did that make you really mad, madder than you usually are at Hillary?
Did that make you suspicious?
Yes.
It did.
Because the first thing that popped into my head was that she's hiding something.
Yeah.
She's Trying to hide something.
She was trying to divert everything so that she would have the capability of getting rid of it at any point that's a good one.
Okay, so well, that's good.
Then that then you immediately thought of that then.
Right.
Okay.
That was my very right.
I mean, the reason you would do this, as I so astutely said in prior segment of the program, the reason you do this is that when you delete it, it's really gone.
It's not true if you're a Gmail email address, if you have uh use any of the commercial offering, Yahoo, Gmail, AOL, if they still do email, I think they do.
Uh iCloud, I don't care what it is, your emails never go away.
They are always on those servers.
They own the emails, not you.
It's not your server.
You're leasing space.
You may delete the email from your IMAP folder.
You may delete it, uh, delete it from your server, you may delete it from your computer, but it's still on theirs.
When you have your own server, and I don't care where it is, the idea, by the way, the server enters her house, not that big a deal.
Uh physical proximity is it's easier, it's one thing, but she could have this thing off-site anywhere.
It would just be another layer of uh transmission that would be subject here that she would have to account for.
But the bottom line is that when she deletes it, it literally is gone.
And by the same token, when it's on her server, it's nowhere else, other than people she's emailing back and forth.
Which that's another aspect that she's emailing the normal list of people that she would be emailing with if she were at the State Department and using that server in that domain.
Every one of those people had to see that her mail was coming not from the State Department servers, but from her own.
And this would include the media.
I mean, you know she's emailing somebody in the media.
They had to know this long before this pops up.
And just like you, they had to know what it meant.
Nobody said anything here until now.
So something to trigger it.
Anyway, Vicky, I appreciate it.
Dave, you're next in uh Warrenville, Illinois.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Rush, pleasure to talk with you.
I appreciate the point I want to make here is Hillary violated the law in this point.
Uh Benghazi, there was no law violation.
The uh the uh the uh Clinton Foundation issue, no law violation there really that they can pin on.
This was a clear violation of the law, and I think that's why the left is using this to allow Elizabeth Warren a uh a path to the presidency.
So you think the Warren Elizabeth Warren is a factor here.
I would I would so when is the left cared about people on their side of the aisle breaking the law.
But they like Elizabeth Warren.
Well, okay, if you throw that as part of the equation.
That's correct.
Okay, so you're buying into that theory.
The theory again is Elizabeth Warren is who they really want, and she says she's not running if Hillary is.
She is not gonna give them that battle.
She's not gonna do girl on girl for them.
She's not gonna do it.
She's gonna defer to Hillary.
So they've taken it upon themselves to take Hillary out because they really want Elizabeth Warren, because she is judged to be a more trustworthy and radical leftist who does not have the baggage that Hillary has that they have to carry the water for.
That could be a factor here.
They know that Hillary's got all this baggage, and they know that her husband comes along and he's got his own baggage, such as special friend of a Playboy pedophile jet setting all over the world.
They may just Democrats and the media may just be concluding that they're tired of having to carry all that water.
They're tired of having all that added pressure to keeping the Clintons viable.
And Elizabeth Warren is comparatively clean.
The only problem she's got is this fake Indian business.
And they can easily cover that up.
Well, that we know of.
We we We also hypocrite.
I mean, she's a wealthy woman and she's done it in the private sector in the real estate markets and so forth.
But they'll they'll sweep that under the rug.
They won't find that hypocritical.
But maybe maybe he's right.
Maybe there's something here that this is a clear violation of law they don't even want to have to try to defend.
Look, folks, it won't be long.
It won't take much more time before we figure out what's going on here.
It this is either going to run its course and she will survive it, which is the normal pattern for the Clintons.
They survive everything.
Nothing ever sticks to them.
That's been the pattern.
So it's either going to happen again here after a big hubbub, or it's going to keep up.
The drumbeat is going to continue and continue, and it's going to get more relentless, and more and more people are going to pile on and are going to find more and more things to be concerned about and worried about.
And the ultimate objective to show Hillary she can't win.
Well, look.
Okay, so you think the blue dress made Clinton's situation a little sticky.
I ask you, where is he today?
He's rock star.
He's at top of the food chain of the Democrat Party.
Don't tell me the blue dress stickified his situation any.
They don't, when they get caught, they've always survived it, is the point.
Who paid the price for that?
Monica Lewinsky paid the price for that.
Paula Jones paid the price for all that.
Kathleen Willie, all the women are the ones that paid the price.
Clinton is in Fat City.
He's on a jumbo jet flying around with a Playboy pedophile.
And if not with the Playboy pedophile, he's with some other billionaire flying all over the world, ostensibly doing charitable works, but they're always women around.
The Clintons get away with it.
That's the experience guided by intelligence or vice versa.
They always get away with it.
They always survive it.
Nothing ever hurts them.
That's what's so remarkable here.
I don't mean to be beating a dead horse, but you tell the last time that there was this kind of unity in the drive-by media, negatively pounding a Clinton.
That's what's somewhat maybe altogether unique here.
Bill in I-70 in Missouri, that's somewhere between Kansas and St. Louis.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Yes, Rush.
Hey, uh, my wife heard you about 10 minutes ago, and she yelled at the radio because Rush, this is the first issue that the Democrats can hang squarely around Hillary Clinton's neck that won't drag anybody else in the party down.
It's a good way to get rid of her now because there's gonna be no uh uh nobody else in the crosshairs.
Oh, that's an interesting thought.
So what your wife is saying during previous Clinton scandals, if the Clinton suffered, the party would go down with them.
Yes.
Or somebody else in the party.
I mean, right now this is her server, it's her email, everything is her.
Even even does even wait for Bill to say, well, I didn't know anything about it.
This is some this is clearly.
That's right.
We we have not heard that's nobody else can't.
That's exactly right.
He can't hear me because of our phone.
We need square trade to make our phone system work here.
You can't hear me.
It's not your fault out there, Bill, but that's a great point.
We haven't even heard Bill.
We haven't heard of Bill being involved on Clintonemail.com.
Just Hillary.
That is an interesting point.
That the reason they can go after her on this one is it's it's only her that could be harmed, damaged, not the party, and not anybody else.
I'm glad you got through on that, Bill.
I hadn't thought of that.
Okay, I just checked.
Bill Clinton does have, it makes sense.
A Clintonemail.com account.
So he does use it.
But that is a good point that this is an opportunity to isolate Hillary and not take any other Democrat out with her in the process.
