BREAK TRANSCRIPT
Another thing that happened: “WikiLeaks Offers Comey a New Job.”
(laughing) Is this not great? “A surprising job offer rolled in for
former FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday afternoon, mere hours after
President Donald Trump fired him…
“WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said he would be happy to consider
Comey for a position at the organization’s Washington D.C. office,
where the now unemployed bureau chief might continue his mission to
‘properly investigate the U.S. government.'” That is not what he’s
doing. You know what another big moment in this whole episode is that
nobody’s talking about? I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s the real
story, but again this is in the top five.
[...]
In Trump’s letter to Comey, Trump mentions that Comey told him three
times he was not under investigation. Now, the way this is being
handled by the Drive-Bys is, “Well, man, Trump really blew it on this.
Trump really messed up! He shouldn’t have put that. He just can’t help
himself. He had to let everybody know that he’s innocent He had to
know, and he put Comey on the spot.” They’re missing the entire point.
You have to know Donald Trump. Yeah, it may look awkward; yeah, it may
look unusual.
ANDREA
MITCHELL: (screams) What about the Russian investigation?
This is Donald Trump… Can I translate this for you? This is Donald
Trump saying, “Despite the fact the guy ain’t after me, I’m letting him
go anyway.” That’s all this means. It’s not Trump saying, “I’m
innocent. I didn’t do anything. You can’t prove it.” He’s not doing a
Bart Simpson. He’s simply saying, “Hey, despite the fact the guy told
me three times they’re not looking at me; I haven’t done anything —
despite the fact that he’s helping me out here — I still have to get
rid of him.” But there’s still the detail of the detail, the detail of
the news.
Comey has told Trump three times he’s not under investigation? Why
hasn’t Comey announced that? Comey’s announced everything else about
this case. Comey’s violated every rule there is in conducting
investigations, especially investigations that are not gonna end up
with anybody being charged. That July 5th press conference… We’ve
mentioned this I don’t know how many times. That July 5th press
conference was totally uncalled for, and it ended up… You can prove
that by looking at the various ideological interests in the country.
The left loved certain aspects of it and hated certain aspects of it,
and people on the right loved certain aspects. But nobody should have
loved it because it was a total bastardization of the criminal justice
procedures. What he did just isn’t done. But that’s for later. Three
times, James Comey… You think Trump’s lying about this? You think Trump
would put this in this resignation letter if this isn’t true? You know
what’s gonna happen now? The Drive-Bys are gonna try to get hold of
Comey. He was supposed to address a Senate committee tomorrow.
[...]
This has gone beyond mere
political posturing. These
people on the left — led by the media and the Democrat Party and the
political apparatus — I’m telling you, are sick. I have never seen… I
wasn’t thinking about it last night. I’m 66 years old. I have been
following politics honestly since I was 10. I’m not kidding. I have
seen unhinged behavior. I have seen the wild allegations that Democrats
make and repeated. I have never seen this degree of collective
insanity. I have never seen this degree of so many people literally
being out of touch, devoid reality, and unhinged.
I’ve never seen this
degree of hate.
I understand it because of what’s happened. Trump has totally
embarrassed every one of these people inside the Washington Beltway,
and he’s taunting them, meeting with the Soviet (chuckling) Russian
ambassador today, after the Democrats are convinced the Russians stole
the election! They have repeated it so many times; they actually
believe it now. The only way this rage can exist is if they really
believe this election was stolen, and if the really believe the
Russians colluded with Trump.
Nine months and not a shred of evidence, and most recently this was
acknowledged by Clapper and Sally Yates. It’s been acknowledged by
Comey himself in recent congressional testimony. It’s been acknowledged
by Dianne Feinstein. There isn’t any! It was acknowledged by Maxine
Waters yesterday. There isn’t any. And yet they believe it. That’s all
they’ve got. They cannot, will not blame themselves. So they literally
believe that the Russians somehow colluded with Trump, even though
there’s no evidence for it.
They really believe Trump
fired Comey because he might have been getting close,
under the assinine belief that firing Comey’s gonna stop the
investigation? How many investigations are there? The House has one.
The Senate has one. The FBI’s got their own. Do you know who’s running
the FBI today? McCabe, a Democrat! His wife ran for the Senate or ran
for governor of Virginia. He’s very close to The Punk, Terry McAuliffe.
The guy is a hardened Democrat. He’s now running the FBI. He’s in
charge of the investigation to get Trump.
[...]
Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, ran into the Soviet foreign
minister today. He’s in town talking to Trump. (laughing) Here’s Trump
colluding with the Russians and the day after he fires Comey he has a
meeting with the Soviet — the Russian foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov!
(laughing) I mean, this is trolling extraordinaire. Andrea Mitchell,
she is loaded for bear.
After Secretary of State Tillerson welcomed Lavrov to the U.S. —
they’re about to leave — Andrea Mitchell found Lavrov and asked him a
question.
MITCHELL: (shouting) Does the Comey firing cast a shadow of your talks,
gentlemen?
LAVROV: Was he fired?
MITCHELL: (screams) Yes!
LAVROV: You’re kidding! You’re kidding!
MITCHELL: (screams) What about the Russian investigation?
RUSH: Did you hear that? Andrea Mitchell, NBC News: “Does the Comey
firing cast a shadow around your talks, gentlemen?” And the Soviet, the
Russian foreign minister said, “Was he fired?” Mitchell said, “Yes!”
Lavrov: “You’re kidding! You’re kidding!” He was fired?” Mitchell said,
“What about the Russian investigation?” What investigation? (chuckling)
The trolling here, you just have to love it.
