Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Hey, welcome, my friends, to the Independence Day weekend version of the Rush Limbaugh program.
It's great to be with you.
It's also shocking to see all these man on the street interviews, if we can believe them, and I think we can.
So many Americans that have no idea why we celebrate Independence Day, Fourth of July.
And it's also Friday, which is a golden opportunity extended to me.
Remember, folks, I'm a benevolent dictator on this program.
There is no First Amendment except for me.
But on Friday, there is.
You can talk about whatever you want on Friday.
It's a grand opportunity afforded, extended by me to you.
Monday through Thursday, you have to talk about the things that I'm talking about.
I don't care what you say about them, but you got to talk about what I'm doing.
Friday could be anything.
Happy to have you.
800-282-2882, the email address El Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
I want to welcome to the program a man we've had on a couple of times previous.
Mr. J. Christian Adams is with us.
He's an election lawyer.
He served in the voting rights section, the U.S. Department of Justice and resigned there over a disagreement with the way the Obama Justice Department was not prosecuting abuses in Philadelphia during the 2000 election involving a new Black Panther Party.
Mr. Adams, great to have you back, sir.
How are you?
Great, Rush.
Thanks for having me.
You bet.
Um I'm I'm wanted to talk to you today about the meeting that everybody else is talking about between the Attorney General Bill Clinton and happened at Phoenix earlier the week.
You have a column today in the uh New York Post.
And I need to, before I I get into the details, did you did you uh conclude, finish, and post this column before the news that the Attorney General has said that she's going to accept whatever the FBI and career prosecutors decide to do in this.
Did you post your piece before that decision by her?
Indeed, it originally ran a PJ Media and the Post picked it up today.
Okay, good.
So I I wanted to ask you about this new development because what you originally write I found fascinating in and of itself.
You um you say that that many people would not believe that Lynch and Clinton only discussed grandkids and golf in her jet, but that you would, because that's all they would need to discuss, because your theory is that the summit here was to send a signal both to the FBI with with Lynch and Clinton getting together,
no matter what they said, just the fact that they got together was as you write a signal to all of the hardworking FBI agents who have the goods on Hillary that the Attorney General meeting Clinton makes it clear what team she's on, and that's not the side of justice.
She's on the Democrat Party team.
And it's an unspoken message from her to all the FBI agents on the case, all the frontline lawyers at DOJ, that when you send your recommendations to refer Hillary's case to the grand jury, you better realize your burden to convince me, Lynch, is higher than you thought.
These people are my friends, and I'm willing to risk any appearance of impropriety to send that message to you.
So that you wrote that.
It's in it's an I think an insightful comment, but what would you say now since you posted that before the attorney general said that she's going to basically accept whatever recommendations call me and career prosecutors, which I think is a key point I want to ask you about, decide to do.
Yeah, because those career prosecutors are still going to be at the Justice Department seeking promotions in the future, living under the regime.
And so that's exactly right.
They don't need to have a discussion about whether or not his wife is going to be indicted.
They aren't that stupid.
They know how the bureaucracy works.
I was in the bureaucracy.
I know how it works.
And career DOJ lawyers don't want to fight their superiors.
They don't want to put up a battle to indict Hillary when it looks like the fix is in.
And so the ministerial state can read the tea leaves.
The bureaucrats can read the tea leaves and know that they'll have a fight on their hands if they try to indict.
It's even bigger than the fight they thought they had in the first place.
So you attach no substance to the Attorney General suggesting that she is going to accept whatever recommendations the FBI submits, and uh it's it's this falls way short of a of a of a recusal.
A lot of people are mistaking this for a quasi recusal, but it's not, is it?
No, and it's even more brilliant than that.
These people are so devious and smart.
The worst thing you want is Lynch to recuse herself.
Republicans who are calling for that are making a big mistake because then autopilot kicks in.
All of the left-wing tendencies of the bureaucracy become unattached from the political winds.
And so you want Lynch now, who's under the gun to be the one to be making this decision, because the bureaucrats under her aren't going to indict Hillary.
They they might be working for Hillary uh shortly.
And so Lynch will be gone, but they'll still be working for a potential Hillary administration.
So go let's go back to the meeting in Phoenix, and what we know is what we doubt, uh, that it was spontaneous that Bill Clinton heard Loretta Lynch was landing while he was on his way out and said, Hey, you know what?
I want to go say hi and discuss grandkids, even though she doesn't have any, and he doesn't have very many.
The question that they're not fools, Christian.
They knew.
They had to know this was going to get out.
They probably wanted this to get out.
So who benefits from all of this attention to this meeting and all this speculation from pundits left and right all over the media, who benefits from this?
Well, Hillary does.
I mean, look, first of all, Bill Clinton is almost always up to no good when he gets on a plane to meet a woman.
And so by the way, folks, just if you just turn over talking to Jake Christian Adams, who used to work in the Justice Department, now's at PJ Media, has a um uh public interest legal foundation that that he runs, and that's uh I wanted you to know who it is that just said that, because that's brilliant.
Yeah, and so there's always mischief afoot when Bill's uh talking to women on or going on planes to meet women, and and so uh you look, he might be a witness.
This was a uh situation where there was a homebrew server with classified information in his basement.
I mean, he may have talked to the tech people.
There's all sorts of evidence that this man might have in this criminal investigation.
So for him to pal around with the attorney general in charge of the investigation helps kill the investigation.
And so it benefits Hillary to have this story out there uh and and to uh to the have have all the line attorneys, all of the career prosecutors, all of the FBI agents know that their target is pallying around with their boss.
All right.
Now, he's also, though, in addition to this email problem, isn't D.O.J. supposedly investigating the Clinton Crime Family Foundation, in which case he would be more than a witness.
He could end up being uh, I don't know, you I don't know if you'd officially call him a target or not, but there are two things here that they're looking at.
Hillary's email server and and the security aspects of that, illegality of that, plus the Clinton Crime Family Foundation are looking into.
Well, that's right.
I mean, look, I I call it in my piece the the carnival-style atmosphere of the Clintons, and there's they're always up to some sort of shenanigan, and now they're meeting with the Obama-style lawlessness of administering justice.
And it's just a toxic mixture between the two of them.
And uh he indeed is the beneficiary for sure of this Clinton Foundation.
He lives large off of the Clinton Foundation.
His family lives large.
They travel large.
Lord knows the places he goes with the money from the Clinton Foundation.
So there's a broad-ranging investigation.
Loretta Lynch shouldn't get within a hundred feet of him, much less pal with him on the plane.
Let me pose another possibility here, and I'm just I'm I'm throwing things up against the wall and seeing if they stick, and that's why I wanted you here to see if any of this has any possibility or any relevance.
Uh, because I find this whole thing fascinating, Christian.
I mean, here they have the meeting on Tuesday.
We don't learn about it until essentially yesterday, because of one local affiliate in Phoenix who got tipped off by a source.
This guy's a morning anchor, the guy that revealed this at the ABC affiliate In Phoenix Phoenix is a morning anchor.
He gets a phone call from a buddy that he trusts, and he gets a second source.
Second source does not know the first source.
Somebody had to tell the sources.
Nobody else knew that Clinton and Lynch were meeting.
Now that everybody's going nuts here from the standpoint that they think Clinton has screwed up.
They think Clinton and Lynch have screwed up.
That seems to be even the commentary from the left, like people like Axel Rod, uh, I don't think anything went wrong, but it's really bad optics.
And you've got a bunch of leftists in the media wringing their hands over this.
But these people are not fools.
They wouldn't do this if it was genuinely going to harm anybody.
I don't know that they're that arrogant.
I well, I know they're arrogant, but I I I I just I I can't see you know, for twenty years, Christian people on the right have been waiting for Bill Clinton to step in it.
We've put bags of manure in front of him every step of the way, and he never steps in it.
But how many times have we thought that he has, or Hillary?
So the the second the question again, who benefits, but the second thing that I want to throw out at you is the timing of this.
What if is it possible that she already knows what Comey's recommendation is going to be?
And if so, what are the odds that Comey, the director of the FBI, is going to recommend nothing to see here, no action further.
We've got nothing to do, no indictment.
What if all of that, is all of that possible?
Yeah, that that's the real fascinating question.
You have to have an appreciation for the internal dynamics, how things work inside justice.
And you know, it is an inconceivable that Comey wasn't giving uh intermittent reports about the status of the investigation.
Uh they're always going to want to take direction from the people who might end up prosecuting this case.
Assistant U.S. attorneys and other criminal attorneys in the Justice Department are intimately involved with FBI agents in any investigation.
There's always back and forth.
So it's inconceivable to me that there wasn't some level of information moving between Comey and Lynch, and then Lynch, you know, she might roll her eyes at some point.
It could be as simple as that, that uh that they didn't like where something was going.
And it doesn't even take a memo or a comment or as some people say, a bag of cash on the tarmac at Sky Harbor.
It it doesn't require that.
There's more subtle ways to move policy inside the Department of Justice than the stupid ones.
So as as a caller speculated here yesterday, and that's all anybody's doing, you think it highly unlikely that Bill Clinton would actually arrange this meeting, get on that airplane with her, and talk about how they're going to be Supreme Court vacancies after Hillary's elected.
And remember, Loretta, I appointed you to the Eastern District.
So i you don't think anything like that would have to transpire, or did.
No chance.
These are far more sophisticated people that know how to move policy without sounding like you you know, some idiot in in some rural county buying votes with pork rinds.
I mean, this is high level stuff.
And the mere visit, the mere relationship, the uh the fact that they knew her golf stream was there and they rolled over to talk to her, that that's all it takes to to put the lever of influence on there.
Right.
And the fact that she would take the meeting.
If you put yourself in her share, you're you're you're the A G, and uh you've got a former president that's running around doing whatever he does, his wife is being investigated by your FBI director, and he calls and wants to meet with you.
What do you do?
Well, I can tell you, people like Michael McCasey would have said, not it wouldn't be appropriate at this time.
You know, previous attorneys general, both Democrat and Republican, would have never taken that meeting.
They would have operated with an air of integrity.
Uh and integrity is in short supply in this administration.
Right, but she did.
And my point is they both knew this was going to happen.
Uh, listening to you, it's almost as though this is what they wanted to happen, because the beneficiary of all this is Hillary.
Would you would you agree with the uh proposition that if she's indicted, it could benefit her, much as Clinton being pursued by Ken Starr ended up making him more popular even within the Democrat Party because The party rallied around him against this evil sex pervert trying to put him out of office.
Would you say the same thing could happen to Hillary if there actually is an indictment that the party would rally around her Bernie Sanders supporters would forget their anger and join up with her just in solidarity?
Yeah, and I wrote that in my PJ Media piece that people forget the the Clinton fiasco in the 90s actually helped him and made it more popular.
And there's data on this rush.
There's polling data that shows inc incomprehensibly the Democrats uh would still support her, even if she was facing criminal charges for allowing foreign agents and foreign governments to obtain classified information off her home computer.
That's how rotted the Democratic constituency is.
I keep I keep trying to tell people that the Democrat Party seemingly overnight has gone all radical, all in.
I mean, there aren't any Bob Strauss's left in this party anymore.
No, and there's some Democrats who don't know it yet.
That's the only difference.
Some Southern Democrats still think they're Democrats, but they don't know what Democrat is.
Right.
Well, where do you expect this to go now as a seasoned veteran of DOJ and now running uh your election uh legal foundation?
Where do you where do you expect this to go?
What's what's the end game here with this story?
There's two irreconcilable American values.
One, we don't criminalize politics.
That's what third world nations do, and you don't indict people because uh, you know, you you there's some political differences.
On the other hand, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, uh you mean in a campaign or something, our civilized way, we would not bring proceedings because that would taint the uh purity of the campaign, the election, is that what you're and that's actually a Justice Department uh value.
They they don't want to influence an election by indicting before elections.
That's a written guideline.
And on the other hand, nobody's above the law.
You know, Hillary's not above the law, and the king should not be above the law.
And so we have these two irreconcilable American values clashing in this, and I don't know which way it's gonna go.
Well, uh, I appreciate your time.
I really do, and I've um and your candor as well.
It's always uh it's always a treat.
I remember the first by the way, you've got nothing against pork rhymes, right?
I just want everybody to understand you got nothing specifically against pork rhymes.
Oh, especially if they're junior Johnson pork rinders.
Right, because they're part of the Atkins diet, they're permissible there.
So I remember the last time we spoke, you were very enlightening.
I I wanted to know.
Uh this is back when Eric Holder was the attorney general, and it was obvious that the DOJ was in place to advance the Obama political agenda.
And I would ask you, I ask you, how is how does Obama communicate it?
Because if something like that, if he calls Holder, if he sends Holder an email, I mean there's a record of that.
And you said, no, no, no, it's not the way it's done.
There are intermediaries, it's it's in fact, in many cases, Holder wouldn't have to ask Obama because they're peas in a pod.
But I'll never forget that.
It was very eye-opening, and I appreciate your time here.
And best of luck to you and have a great Independence Day weekend.
You too, Rush.
Take care.
Jay Christian Adams, he was at the Justice Department when they were collecting evidence on the new Black Panther Party, preventing people from voting.
And when he found out that Holder said, basically we're not going to prosecute people of color.
He resigned.
And he's now writing at PJ Media and president of a public interest legal foundation.
And we will be back and continue after this.
Okay, folks, I'm going to tell you what I think is actually going on here.
I think we are being played in the standard common everyday way the Clinton team plays the American people.
It has happened, I can't count the number of times dating back to when Bill Clinton was in the White House.
And essentially what this is, and the Lynch Clinton meeting is the latest uh ingredient.
We are being set up for massive disappointment, depression, and dispiritedness.
They are making it look like, and they have all along very possible Hillary Clinton could be indicted.
They are toying with us.
They're dangling this carrot in front of them.
This could be the time.
This could be it when we finally get the Clintons once and for all.
And they drag it out, and they do things like this meeting that apparently compromises the whole thing and jeopardizes the whole thing.
Uh, release information on all the emails they're finding, and Hillary's IT guy takes the fifth 125 times.
Ask yourself, how many times do people ask you, you really think Hillary's going to be indicted?
And they say it with anticipation, excitement.
How many times people ask you that?
Ask me that all the time.
My answer, by the way, from the get-go has always been she's not going to be indicted.
Is no way it's going to happen.
You don't understand the Democrat Party and their use of power.
If you think their presidential nominee is going to be indicted by an Obama DOJ, it ain't going to happen.
But they got a lot of people thinking it will.
And when she skates, they want you depressed.
They want you down in the dumps.
They want you giving up.
They want you thinking there's no way you can win.
They want you thinking they can get away with everything.
That's the Clinton MO.
And we are right smack dab in the middle of another such play.
Don't doubt me.
Okay, let's use our intelligence guided by experience and add to it some of the things just now mentioned by J. Christian Adams.
How it's done between Lynch meeting with Bill.
Now remember the J. Christian Adams' point here, and it's a this is a very key point.
When Loretta Lynch says that she is going to uh basically step away, not recuse, but she's going to step aside and accept the recommendations of the FBI and Capitol AND, the decision of career prosecutors in the DOJ.
For those of you in Rio Linda, the other kind of prosecutors are appointees, political appointees versus career.
Career people are there no matter the administration.
They are there as long as their work is up to snuff and they don't get canned.
But there are career prosecutors.
And the point that Christian made is that those people want to rise in the ranks of the FBI, and it's no different than anywhere else.
You impress the boss.
You do what the boss wants.
You make your name by getting noticed by the boss.
So turning over this decision to both the FBI and career prosecutors is really not much of a risk for Loretta Lynch.
If you start out believing she doesn't want Hillary indicted, and we know that's the case, folks.
These are Democrats first.
I I know people want to believe that we still have people that will put institutions above party in them.
So not today's Democrat Party.
The whole point of acquiring these positions of power is to corrupt them with your people, Who will use these positions of power to implement your agenda?
Now they don't look at it as corrupting anything because they think they're God's gift.
They're simply doing the work that needs to be done to transform America.
So in their minds, they're not corrupting anything to the to the uh objective observer, of course, all this is corruption.
We know that Obama does not want Hillary indicted.
He'd be the first witness.
You stop and think of that.
He'd be the first witness.
He's a president of the United States.
She's got an email server that violates every executive branch rule and regulation.
He'd be the first witness.
He doesn't want her indicted.
Lynch doesn't want her indicted.
She doesn't want to be indicted.
Bill Clinton doesn't want her be indicted.
The idea that ranked partisans like this are going to let some process play out with no influence on it whatsoever, and run the risk that somebody might actually indict Hillary Clinton.
They're not going to let that happen.
That's not who these people are.
And yet look at all the people who are holding all this hope out.
Thinking this might be the one.
This is she is so guilty they can't hide this.
She's so guilty they can't cover this up.
She saw me this is so bad.
What do you mean they can't cover it up?
They can't ignore it.
They can do all of that and they will.
It's who they are.
The Department of Justice is there to implement the Obama Democrat Party agenda.
Why do you think she was in Phoenix?
She was taking over the Phoenix Police Department under the guise of recommending uh DOJ guidelines.
They've done it in Ferguson.
They've done it in Baltimore.
They've done it.
You'd be amazed 25 or 30 big city police departments.
They have already essentially said, you people are screwing up.
Look what you look at.
You botched it in Ferguson, looking, you botched it in Baltimore.
You need to implement our guidelines.
And if you want our money, and everybody needs their money, then this is what you got to do.
And that's what she's doing.
So this is all about amassing power and using it.
And they're not going to sit by with all this power and let their own presidential nominee be indicted.
And if they did, if I'm wrong, and if they did do that, that would also be done after a calculation that it would benefit them.
Not hurt them.
If they can find in their calculations that Hillary being indicted helps them, well, but she doesn't want that on her record.
The Clintons don't want that on their record.
It's going to interrupt fundraising.
It's just a mark that they don't need.
It's true, too, that after Clinton was subject of the independent prosecutor, supposedly independent, the Ken Starr prosecution, look what – Democrat Party rallied.
Hell, the American people rally.
The guy had 65% approval rating numbers during the Ken Starr investigation, despite what everybody knew.
So if you add all that to what we can already see.
You take the Lynch meeting with Clinton on the jet this week.
You combine that with Obama saying several times in public that Hillary's done nothing wrong.
And you have James Comey over at the FBI, and you have these career prosecutors that Loretta Lynch has just deferred to hearing all this.
So here your commander in chief, your president says she didn't do anything wrong.
I've looked at it.
We've looked at it.
We didn't do anything wrong.
This is just another Republican witch on soldiers.
Comey, here's that.
The FBI agents investigating hear this.
The career prosecutors at DOJ hear it.
And then they say Clinton meeting with Lynch.
And like Mr. Adams just pointed out, doesn't matter what they say.
Just the fact that they had the meeting in supposed violation of every ethic regulation, ethics that came down the pike, sends the signal that everybody's unified on this.
And that if you want to please the boss, nothing happens here.
She's not recusing herself.
That's important too.
She's just standing aside.
She's essentially saying, you know what?
I'm not going to do it.
I'm going to accept whatever the FBI and, not or and.
What if the career prosecutors disagree with the FBI?
What if Comey says, here's the goods?
We got everything we need to indict and get a conviction.
And the career prosecutors say, I don't think you do.
We're not going to move forward.
Comey's stuck.
Then all Comey could do is go public.
And whether he would do that or not, who knows?
I kind of doubt it.
But Loretta Lynch is another.
She's not going to turn this over to people.
That she doesn't know what they're going to do.
She's a lawyer.
The first thing they teach in law school, you never ask anybody in a case a question on the stand to which you don't know the answer.
That's the fastest way to get tripped up.
You don't grant anybody immunity until you know what they're going to say.
Well, in this case, you don't turn the decision here over to career prosecutors unless you know what they're going to do.
So my point here is the fact that everybody in the media is treating this as big news is all part of the ruse.
Hey, look, Loretta Lynch is acting like She got caught.
Oh, wow, we got her.
We got her.
They screwed up.
They had the meeting.
Nobody was supposed to find out.
Now, there's a, by the way, another little story attached to this that's designed to make us think they've screwed up.
The Secret Service supposedly banned all photos.
Oh, yeah.
It was a really secret meeting.
We've really got them now.
Because the Secret Service and the FBI said no photos, no photos.
They didn't want anybody finding out about it.
Folks, we're being played like the Clintons play us every time.
You want an example?
I've used this a couple times.
When Clinton was being deposed in the Paula Jones case, being interviewed by Ken Star, independent prosecutors.
We were not allowed to see that, of course.
It was videotaped.
It was going to be played later.
But at the time it happened, we were not allowed to see it.
Nobody was.
It was private.
When it was over, the White House leaked something that happened.
You know what they leaked?
That Clinton lost it during a question about the cigar.
A couple of days, maybe a week before they were going to release the videotape of Clinton's deposition.
Somebody released it.
I don't actually remember if it was the White House, but somebody did, because the media lit up with it that Clinton lost it when he was questioned about the cigar.
And Monica Lewinsky.
So on the day that the Clinton testimony is to be televised, the cable channels, all broom, regular programming, and broadcast it, cover it.
And they tell us, yeah, it happens about two hours and ten minutes in, or whatever it was.
And nothing happened.
Clinton gets a cigar about a question about the cigar, and his eyes pop large for a split second, and that was it.
But for two weeks prior, everybody in the media had been reporting that Bill Clinton lost it during a question about cigar.
So average ordinary Americans have heard and were told that Clinton was president of the United States, lost it, blew up, whatever they said.
Now it comes time to play the videotape, and nothing happened.
His eyes got big for a second, and that was it.
And the reaction was nothing.
And so the story then was anti-Clinton radicals come unhinged over nothing.
President totally composed during entire deposition, blah, blah, blah.
And the impact that was, oh, everybody was let down.
Everybody thought it didn't take long to figure out we'd been played.
We're being played here.
Yet again.
My humble opinion.
We're being played.
I just don't, I've I've never seen, given what I know about the Democrat Party, the way they amass and use power.
The idea that Obama was going to permit the Democrat Party presidential nominee to be indicted.
And look at look at the lengths people went to believe it.
Oh, yeah, you know, he secretly hates her, people would tell you.
Oh yeah, he hadn't liked her since the 08 campaign.
Remember when Bill Clinton made that comment to Ted Kennedy about it wasn't that long ago that guys like Obama would be fetching our coffee for us?
Yeah, Obama's hated him ever since.
Yeah, Obama, he had to pay off her campaign debt.
He wanted her to be the Secretary of State just because you keep your enemies close, but the Clintons and the Obamas, they just and then you see Clinton given the biggest ringing endorsement of Obama at the Democrat convention.
Say, wait a minute.
Thought they hated each other.
People said, Yeah, they do.
They do.
That was just part of unity.
They put it aside for the sake of the party.
Fine.
The links that people went to to tell themselves that Hillary would be indicted that Obama doesn't like her, and Obama's secretly wants her to Obama would love it if the Clintons would finally get caught.
If he wanted the Clintons caught, he could have done it years ago.
So my suggestion to you is two things.
If I'm wrong, fine, And I'll be happy to be wrong on this.
But if I'm right, don't let them get you down.
Don't let them get you all depressed and dispirited and thinking that we can't beat them and all this that we're being played here, and just don't fall for it.
Because none of this make these people are not fools.
Like I said yesterday, they're not fools.
Clinton and Lynch are not fools.
They have to know this is going to get discovered.
They may want it to be discovered.
Real question here is who benefits?
Because this is done on purpose and for a reason or two.
Let me ask you another question.
Where is Bill Clinton?
I mean, Loretta Lynch is all over the place.
She's at the Ideas Festival in Aspen after the meeting in Phoenix.
Where's Clinton?
Normally huh?
Well, Clinton would be out there on a p uh uh stage somewhere, a podium wagging his finger.
I did not have sex with that woman on that plane.
Not a single time, not ever.
Have you seen I there's just no way.
Well, I don't understand what what oh no.
No, we didn't talk about Hillary either.
Where where is Clinton?
He why isn't the media hounding Clinton?
Hmm.
Why aren't they trying to get to him and find out?
Why are they focusing only on Loretta Lynch?
Hmm.
I mean, he's not that invisible.
A guy, you know, find a group of women, you'll find him.
Last known location, Phoenix.
Chris Steyerwalt at Fox News has another theory.
The short version of Chris Steyrwalt's theory is that everybody knows an indictment is imminent, that Comey's got the goods and that she's guilty of sin, and there's nothing you can do about it.
So Clinton and Lynch meet to gum up the works and and and require now an independent prosecutor for the case, which delays it for years.
Basically, if an independent counsel is named, if there's pressure brought to bear, that means you start at day one.
And there's no way an independent counsel can get anywhere in the time remaining before the election.
So that's another theory that's out there that this was done purposely to create this ethics violation, the appearance of impropriety.
Just soil everybody requiring an independent investigation now for the purposes of delaying it.
So throw that in your hopper, toss that around.
Here is Jerry in Syracuse, New York, as we start on the phones.
Great to have you with us, sir.
Hello.
Thank you, sir.
Uh I wanted to say that uh on the Lunch Lynch matter, uh, I believe just the opposite scenario is taking place.
Uh I believe that Lynch has been told by the FBI that serious charges will be forthcoming uh on Clinton, and she, with the president's approval, has removed herself from the line of fire, and in so doing, she lets justice run its course, and she has clean hands uh for the future.
Okay, let me see if I understand.
In your scenario, she knows that the FBI has evidence beyond what they need to indict and convict Hillary Clinton in all of this.
And she doesn't want any part of it because it gives her problems with the Democrat Party.
This is disloyalty par extraordinary if she lets this happen.
So she backs out, washes her hands of it, says, I got nothing to do with it.
I'm gonna take whatever recommendation comes forward.
Comey comes forward with his recommendation, which is to indict because he can convict career lawyers, DOJ say, Oh, yeah, this is an open and shut case.
And they move forward with the indictment, but her hands are clean, she had nothing to do with it, her fingerprints aren't there, and she therefore is clean and pure as the wind-driven snow for future Democrat Party positions of power.
Is that basically your theory?
Exactly.
And she does not want uh to uh go for a uh uh a special prosecutor.
Uh that would gum up the works uh royally.
And even handing it to uh the second in command at the department uh would have uh a uh taint about it that uh either.
I know you know she has not done that.
She's not given it to her deputy.
Correct.
Right.
And she doesn't want to do that.
Okay, so quick question, 20 seconds.
Do you think she doesn't look bad as the attorney general and the Democrat presidential nominee gets indicted while she's in office.
That doesn't make her look bad, Lynch.
Well, uh, let me let me ask you, uh uh what what is the uh seems to be the common denominator of the public uh right now.
Well, okay, I got it.
You're dealing with uh raisin brains, yeah.
I see what you mean.
It's open line Friday, and uh look the the Attorney General Lynch, there's a modification now in what her original statement was about stepping aside, not recusing, but stepping aside's she's allowing herself the chance to come in later and well,
