Flashback: Obama Said Iran Couldn’t Get Nukes Under Deal

...............Just like Clinton said North Korea won't get nukes either

Former President Barack Obama’s 2015 tweet about the Iran deal has aged poorly given new evidence that Iran was lying about the nuclear capabilities.
Obama insisted in the tweet, “Under the #IranDeal, Iran can’t build a secret nuclear weapon.” He linked to an article from Reuters that claimed Iran would be unable to hide nuclear weapons work within the 24-day period before inspections.
Ben Rhodes, an Obama adviser, similarly tweeted that the Iran deal had “cut off” the country’s paths to a nuclear weapon.
However, new evidence suggests that Iran was secretly working on nuclear weapons the entire time.
On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he has new documents revealing that “after signing the nuclear deal in 2015, Iran intensified its efforts to hide its secret nuclear files.”

Netanyahu alleged that Iran moved its nuclear weapons files to a clandestine location in Tehran in order to conceal them from investigative authorities.

Netanyahu Offers Proof Iran Lied

RUSH: The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, just finished a presentation in which he revealed that the Iranians are indeed cheating on the nuke deal. He revealed Iranian nuclear designs, blueprints, spreadsheets as he revealed new dramatic intelligence on Monday which Netanyahu claimed shows Iran is brazenly lying about its nuclear weapons program and that the country is not complying with the deal it signed in 2015.



You know, I love the use of the word “claimed.” The Drive-Bys, that is a word they use to signify that they don’t believe what they’re being told. So in the case of Netanyahu, Netanyahu claims to have and claims to say and claims to point out that the Iranians are cheating on the nuke deal. Rather than just, “Today Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented evidence that which has forced him to conclude the Iranians are cheating on the…” No, no, no, no. “Today Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu claimed.” Typical, typical Drive-By Media trick.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Ari Fleischer, who was the former press secretary for George W. Bush, after seeing the Netanyahu presentation, tweeted: “This is one powerful presentation by Netanyahu. Anybody who doesn’t think Iranian was lying and still is lying doesn’t know Iran.” But wait, but wait. Obama said it was a deal the world couldn’t refuse!
Trump has been out saying the same thing that Netanyahu said. We have some sound bites from Netanyahu. We’ll start here with number 27. It’s in Tel Aviv, and Netanyahu is conducting this presentation demonstrating how Iran lied after signing the nuclear agreement.
NETANYAHU: A few weeks ago in a great intelligence achievement, Israel obtained half a ton of the material inside these vaults. And here’s what we got: 55,000 pages, another 55,000 files on 183 CDs. Everything you’re about to see is an exact copy of the original Iranian material. Here’s what the files included. Incriminating documents, incriminating charts, incriminating presentations, incriminating blueprints, incriminating photos, incriminating videos, and more. We’ve known for years that Iran had a secret nuclear weapons program called Project Ahmad. We can now prove that Project Ahmad was a comprehensive program to design, build, and test nuclear weapons.
RUSH: Netanyahu says that the Israelis have now gotten hold of half a ton of documents! Half a ton of Iranian documents! Every time I see something, I am so glad I don’t write anything down. I got to thinking, Brian, you’d be interested. If, at the end of this illustrious broadcast career, can you imagine the Rush Limbaugh broadcast library, like there are presidential libraries? There’s nothing to put in it document-wise. I’m amazed. Presidential libraries have these tens of thousands of documents and stuff. I just have never taken these kinds of notes on anything. Half a ton of Iranian documents for their nuclear weapons program. Here’s the next sound bite we have from Netanyahu.
NETANYAHU: This was a secret underground enrichment facility that the Iranians built under a mountain. You don’t put thousands of centrifuges under a mountain to produce medical isotopes. You put them for one reason: nuclear weapons. Here’s an original Iranian blueprint of Fordow. And what happened was Iran continued to build Fordow years, secretly build it years after Project Ahmad ended. Here’s what it looks like. That’s the entrance. It goes under a mountain. You also will be not surprised that Iran insisted on keeping Fordow. And amazingly, the nuclear deal enabled them to do it.
RUSH: I’m not surprised. Folks, this is not brain science here, rocket science. Obama himself was the one saying that we’ve got no right to tell the Iranians what they can and can’t do with nuclear weapons. Nobody told us. Who are we to tell the Iranians what they can and can’t do? “So then why did you do the deal, Mr. Obama?” Well, we wanted to limit their ability, make sure they couldn’t use nuclear weapons for 10 or 15 years, but we don’t have the right to stop them.
And so in the process, Obama signifying that he has no concept of good guys and bad guys and certainly not the U.S. as the good guys. And certainly — and don’t doubt me on this — there’s no way Obama and anybody in his confederation, there’s nobody that believes the United States has moral authority in things like this, because we’re too tainted by our own illegitimate founding to have moral authority over anything, including freedom, leadership, and the like. Here’s the final Netanyahu bite.
NETANYAHU: The Iran deal, the nuclear deal, is based on lies. It’s based on Iranian lies and Iranian deception. A hundred thousand files right here prove that they lied. In a few days’ time, President Trump will decide, will make a decision on what to do with the nuclear deal. I’m sure he’ll do the right thing, the right thing for the United States, the right thing for Israel, and the right thing for the peace of the world.
RUSH: I’ll tell you, you need to see what Netanyahu did. It was like a classroom presentation, visual aids, photos, charts, graphs, all of this, spreadsheets. He’s not just up there saying we got half a ton of documents. He’s showing some of the documents. They’ve got all these files on various media forms: CD, thumb drive, DVD, what have you.
Now, Trump — I love this — Trump’s out there, he had a presser this afternoon, joint presser with another world leader, and Trump said, “Netanyahu’s speech shows I am 100% right on the Iran deal.” I just love it. “I am 100% right on the Iran deal.”

Indictments Are Comey...er, Coming

Since Barack Obama weaponized the FBI, the IRS, the NSA, the FISA court, and the CIA, citizens who believe that America is a nation of laws have been on a collision course with progressives.  Core constitutional tenets including checks and balances, equality under the law, innocent until proven guilty, and no man is above the law have been replaced with identity politics, victim culture, and weakened First and Second Amendments.
Apocryphally, Bismarck said: "God looks out for idiots, drunkards, children, and the United States of America."
Thank God for Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Congressman Devin Nunes, Congressman Trey Gowdy, and prosecutor John Huber (appointed by Sessions to investigate the DOJ and prosecute crimes uncovered by I.G. Horowitz).
Thank God for Hillary Clinton.  Had she won, or gone gracefully into the night after losing, we wouldn't know of the left's plan for the usurpation of the United States Constitution.
Had Comey not wanted to be the "corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening," these shenanigans would still be secret.

The report from I.G. Horowitz is expected to drop in May.  Huber has grand jury power to subpoena and indict.  Together, they should produce a prodigious amount of indictments. 
In going after Trump, the left ensnared itself.  
Should be indicted, but probably won't be:
  1. Barack Obama – Mishandling of classified information (18 USC §798) and obstruction of a criminal investigation (18 USC §1510) with respect to emails sent to and received from Hillary personal server.  Obstruction of a criminal investigation (18 USC §1510).  (When I heard that Obama had made a deal with Netflix, all I could think of was, "Great: Now, in ten years, Netflix will have a nuclear weapon!"  But I digress.)
  2. Hillary Clinton – Mishandling of classified information (18 USC §798), conspiracy (18 USC §371) (the Uranium One deal), violations of campaign finance laws (the funneling of funds through a law firm to pay Glenn Simpson to pay Christopher Steele for the Steele dossier).
  3. Bill Clinton – Conspiracy (18 USC §371) and obstruction of a criminal investigation (18 USC §1510) (with Lynch) in the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
  4. Robert Mueller – Obstruction of a criminal investigation (18 USC §1510) and conspiracy (18 USC §371) in the Clinton Foundation (Uranium One) investigation.
Probably will be indicted, but maybe not:
  1. James Comey – Making false statements under oath (18 USC §1001) and mishandling of classified information (18 USC §798) (memos shared with Daniel Richman and Patrick Fitzgerald).  Unauthorized disclosure (leaking) of sensitive FBI information (26 USC §7213).
  2. Daniel Richman – Mishandling of classified information (18 USC §798).
  3. Patrick Fitzgerald – Mishandling of classified information (18 USC §798).
  4. Andrew McCabe – Making false statements under oath (18 USC §1001), obstruction of a criminal investigation (18 USC §1510) (the issuance of "stand down" orders in the Clinton email investigation and the Clinton Foundation investigation (Uranium One).  Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive FBI information (26 USC §7213).  (Under I.G. criminal referral.)
  5. Christopher Steele – Providing false information to the FBI (18 USC §1001).  From existing criminal referral made by senators, Grassley and Graham: "[T]here is substantial evidence suggesting that Mr. Steele materially misled the FBI about a key aspect of his dossier efforts, one of which bears on his credibility."  Unauthorized disclosure of FBI information (26 USC §7213).
  6. Peter Strzok and Lisa Page (together forever) – Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive FBI information (26 USC §7213), obstruction of a criminal investigation (18 USC §1510), and conspiracy (18 USC §371) in the Clinton email investigation and with Obama administration officials, chief of staff Denis McDonough, Democratic Senate majority leader Harry Reid, CIA director John Brennan, James Clapper, McCabe, and Loretta Lynch in the Russia investigation.
  7. Loretta Lynch – Conspiracy (18 USC §371) and obstruction of a criminal investigation (18 USC §1510) (with Bill Clinton) in the Hillary Clinton email investigation and with Strzok, Page, McDonough, Reid, Brennan, Clapper, McCabe in the Russia investigation.
  8. John Brennan – Making false statements under oath (18 USC §1001) and conspiracy (18 USC §371) (see above).
  9. James Clapper – Unauthorized disclosure of information (26 USC §7213) (leaking the Steele dossier), making false statements under oath (18 USC §1001), and conspiracy (18 USC §371) (see above).
  10. Harry Reid – Conspiracy (18 USC §371) (see above).
  11. Cheryl Mills – Making false statements under oath (18 USC §1001) about the Clinton illegal private email server.
  12. Huma Abedin – Making false statements under oath (18 USC §1001) about the Clinton illegal private email server.
  13. James Baker (FBI general counsel) – Conspiracy (18 USC §371) in coordination with Strzok, Page, Mike Kortan (FBI assistant director for public affairs), James Rybicki (Comey's former chief of staff) and Comey, the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive FBI information (26 USC §7213).
  14. Sally Yates (ex-acting A.G.) – Making false statements under oath (18 USC §1001).
  15. Bruce Ohr – Lying to the FBI about wife's employment at Fusion GPS and his contacts with Christopher Steele.
  16. Samantha Power – The illegal unmasking of U.S. citizens caught up in unrelated intelligence investigations and conspiracy (18 USC §371).
  17. Susan Rice – The illegal unmasking of U.S. citizens and conspiracy (18 USC §371).
The Obama Justice Department "guidance" about the Clinton Foundation probe reminds us of their approach to the Clinton emails caper – call it a "matter" not an investigation; do not use the grand jury; instead of subpoenas, try saying "pretty please" to obtain evidence; do not ask the co-conspirators hard questions because they're lawyers so that might infringe attorney-client privilege; let the witnesses sit in on each other's interviews; let the suspects represent each other as lawyers; if someone lies, ignore it; if someone incriminates himself, give him immunity; have the attorney general meet with the main subject's former-president husband on the tarmac a few days before dropping the whole thing; oh, and don't forget to write up the exoneration statement months before key witnesses – including the main subject – are interviewed.
With the Clintons, though, enough is never enough.  Obama Justice Department officials, figuring they were only a few days from succeeding in their quest to become Clinton Justice Department officials, decided to try to disappear the Clinton Foundation investigation, too. 
After nearly two years of digging, there is still no proof of Trump-campaign collusion in Russian election-meddling.  But we have collusion all right: the executive branch's law-enforcement and intelligence apparatus placed by the Obama administration in the service of the Clinton campaign.  To find that, you don't need to dig.  You just need to open your eyes.

Americans must open their eyes.  Indictments of those responsible for this charade will reaffirm America as a nation of laws and not of people, no matter how big and untouchable those on the left think they are.

CNN Wins Award for Taking Dictation from James Clapper

He does a good job of breaking down timelines on the corrupt use of fake russion news that got CNN an award for spreading that fake news.  Whats new?

RUSH: The real scandal — and I’ll put this in quotes. But the real “scandal” at Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, while everybody is buzzing about the horrible and crude, not funny hate fest conducted by so-called comedienne, the real news of the evening is that the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Association gave reporters Jake Tapper, Jim Sciutto, Evan Perez, and Carl Bernstein an award for their January 10th, 2017, report on the Steele dossier.
You know the story. Hillary Clinton, as in a work of art, commissions this thing as opposition research. She hires Fusion GPS, which then hires a law firm to make the payment to wash the money so that it’s not traceable back to Clinton. And they hire this Christopher Steele guy to go out and make up a bunch of garbage about Trump for the express purpose of using it as so-called legitimate intelligence on Trump that is designed to drive down public opinion on Trump so as to make it easy to get rid of him!
So the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Association gave Jake Tapper, Jim Sciutto, Evan Perez with be and Carl Bernstein an award for their January 10th report on the dossier, 2017. Now, we now know, folks, that their report was nothing but dictation from James Clapper. James Clapper was director national intelligence — DNI — during the Obama administration.
Click for Video
Just to make sure everybody understands DNI. After 9/11, the Bush administration and the government in general decided it needed to expand, that somehow they had missed 9/11. How did we miss this? How did our intelligence? Well, the reason we had missed it is because the Clinton administration decided to treat terrorism as a criminal act rather than enemy combatants. And so everything was done via the justice system and indictments.
And a wall was created by then Clinton associate Jamie Gorelick so that the FBI and the CIA could not share information with one another. Because something had happened where it was thought that these two organizations were punishing Americans and delving into the American people’s privacy in ways that wasn’t permitted, so there was a wall that developed. And the reason why we didn’t know 9/11 was coming, ’cause we did. But both agencies knew only part of it. If they had been allowed to combine what they knew, we might, might have had a little bit more of a heads up.
And so after that, the government decided it wasn’t big enough, and so it created the office of national intelligence. And this federal agency would be the clearinghouse for all intel. The CIA would send what it knows to the DNI. The FBI would send what it found out. The DIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, everybody would send what they thought they knew to this new office of national intelligence. They created a brand-new bureaucracy.
Well, a guy named James Clapper served as director of the office of national intelligence for Obama, and he’s a left-wing hack. He is a partisan hack. And we know that Jake Tapper, Jim Sciutto, Evan Perez, and Carl Bernstein at CNN knew what they thought they knew about the dossier because Jim Clapper leaked the information to them.
Worse than that, it was all part of a calculated setup to give CNN a news hook so that they could start reporting on the Steele dossier and make it public. The Steele dossier had been known for months. It was floating around Washington, and everybody knew what it was. And everybody knew that it was unverified, uncorroborated. Everybody in the media knew that none of it could be established to have happened, none of it could be proved, none of it could be verified. But the media wanted it in the public domain.
How to do that? CNN needed a news hook. A news hook is a reason to report on it aside from its contents. You couldn’t report on the details ’cause none of it was verified. So they needed a way to get this thing known by the American people. The way this happened, James Clapper essentially told Comey to go brief Trump on the existence of the dossier.
That happened on January 6th of 2017. At that point news outlets, including CNN, BuzzFeed, Washington Post, they all have it. They’re looking for an excuse to run it. On January 6th, Clapper tells Comey to brief Trump on the dossier in case somebody runs with it. So Comey follows Clapper’s instructions and does a meeting with Trump where he tells him about the salacious details, such as the golden showers episode, the prostitutes peeing on the bed at the Moscow hotel where Obama and Michelle happened to stay and sleep.
So Comey, following Clapper’s instructions, tells Trump about it. Clapper leaks to CNN that Trump and Obama have been briefed on the dossier. Clapper then denies that he did this and then later had to admit that he had lied. Clapper told Comey to go tell Trump about it because that was gonna be CNN’s news hook. So after Comey on January 6th briefs Trump on the dossier, Clapper then goes to CNN and tells CNN that Trump has been briefed on the dossier, and Obama.
CNN has its hook. CNN now uses that detail and publishes its story on the dossier. After CNN published the story describing the dossier is when BuzzFeed dumps the whole thing. They published the whole thing with caveats galore. “We haven’t been able to verify it. We haven’t been able to corroborate it. This has been floating around Washington for a while but we at BuzzFeed think you, the American people, need to see it.”
Clapper, after BuzzFeed dumps the whole thing, Clapper denies that he leaked any of this to CNN. Then after Clapper gets caught — by the way, this is all in congressional reports now. None of this is up for grabs. This is all verified to have happened. Clapper denied that he was the leak to CNN that Comey had briefed Trump. When Clapper is caught, then he admits the leak, and after all of that, Clapper is hired by CNN as an analyst and as a commentator.
So, folks, on January 10th is when CNN did its story on Trump and the dossier. And it’s that January 10th story after Comey informed Trump and Clapper leaks to CNN that Comey’s told Trump, the White House Correspondents’ Association gives four reporters at CNN the big award of the year for uncovering a gigantic news story involving the Trump dossier.
This whole thing was a setup. When you look at the timeline of things that happened, it is obvious to anybody with even half a brain that Comey briefing Trump on the dossier was a setup designed — and set up by Clapper — designed to get the dossier into so-called mainstream news cycles, thereby bringing it to life.
Now, when Comey briefed Trump on it on January 6th he did it under the guise, “Mr. President, you need to see this. You need to see the kind of things that our intelligence agencies are gathering about you. You need to be aware of these kinds of things so you can trust your intelligence community to be truthful with you and to know of the potential pitfalls awaiting you out there.” All of that was a scam. All of it was a sham.
And Comey briefed Trump again in January on the 27th on the dossier for another similar reason. CNN wanted to publish the story. James Clapper made it possible, and then CNN hires James Clapper, and he’s still working there today, and he’s an Obama hack. And the White House Correspondents’ Association giving CNN its award of the year for their January 10th report on the dossier is an insult to anybody who knows what’s going on here.
This is like giving an award to a stenographer taking dictation, because that’s exactly what these reporters did. They didn’t uncover anything. The dossier had been in circulation for months. This was nothing more than a trick, a scam, what have you, to enable them to report it, despite nothing in it being verified or corroborated.
Now, if you have any doubt that the CNN article was the result of a setup, bear in mind that one of the reporters getting this award, Evan Perez, used to coauthor articles with Glenn Simpson, who’s the founder of Fusion GPS that ultimately hired Steele to write this dossier. They used to work at the Wall Street Journal together. Perez is still very close with Simpson and some of the other people at Fusion GPS.
But as I say, the real icing on this cake is the role of James Clapper. Clapper, along with John Brennan, told Comey to brief Trump on the dossier knowing CNN was looking for a hook to report this thing. And as soon as Comey briefed Trump, Clapper ran to CNN and Jake Tapper with the news. Tapper and CNN ran the story, for which they got an award last Saturday night. And then a few weeks later James Clapper is hired by CNN I guess for media reporter privilege.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I knew this was gonna happen. I checked the email during the break, and people ask, “Where did you find out about this Clapper stuff? How do you know this?” After 29-1/2 years, you still need to ask that question? I’ll tell you.
“Buried within a newly declassified congressional report on Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. elections is [the] shocking revelation” that I just shared with you that. “James Clapper not only leaked information about the infamous Steele dossier and high-level government briefings about it to CNN,” — not only that — “he also may have lied to Congress about the matter.
“In one of the findings within the 253-page report, the House Intelligence Committee wrote that Clapper leaked details of a dossier briefing given to then-President-elect Donald Trump [by Comey] to CNN’s Jake Tapper,” and then, according to the report, “lied to Congress [in testimony] about the leak” later. He had to admit the lie to get straight, and then CNN hired him a few months after all of this happened.
So it’s in a House Intelligence Committee report.
By the way, it’s not highlighted. It’s kind of buried in the 253-page report. It’s not something that the Intelligence Committee blared with. It’s not in a the press release of highlights from the report. It’s just one of the other findings. It’s a big deal. It perfectly illustrates the incestuous relationship that liberals have with government bureaucracies and agencies and the media. But to me, the highlight of this is that Jake Tapper and these other three guys at CNN literally were taking dictation, and they got an award for it from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Association on Saturday night.
And they’re walking up there all puffed up. “Job well done! We are really good journalists. Look what we uncovered…” You didn’t uncover anything. You didn’t dig up anything! A guy named James Clapper from the Obama administration came and told you about it. This is before Trump was inaugurated, folks. January 6th is when Comey briefs Trump; January 10th is when CNN runs their story! And they get an award for it.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I want you to listen to this. We actually have the audio of CNN being given this fake, this utterly phony award. You know, this is just me. But let’s say I’m me, I’m not Jake Tapper, I’m not anybody at CNN. Let’s say I get a leak. I’ll sitting here, I’m minding my own business, bothering nobody. I get a phone call and it’s some government official who’s giving me a piece of information that everybody wants but nobody has and I get the exclusive. And all I did was sit here and open an email. Okay?
And then I report it breathlessly. And the media goes bonkers and then somewhere down the road, as farfetched as this sounds, somebody gives me an award. I would turn it down. I would turn down the award on the basis I didn’t do anything but answer an email! I didn’t ferret it out. I didn’t hunt it down. I didn’t find it and independently confirm it. I simply took dictation. I wouldn’t accept the award ’cause I’m not into phoniness, as mayor of Realville.
So you’ve got to hear this. Now, again, the whole thing is a setup so that CNN can run the story on the dossier. Clapper, DNI, instructs Comey — now, stop and think of this. Comey’s out there denying there’s a deep state. Clapper at DNI calls Comey, says, “Comey, go brief Trump on the dossier.” Comey says, “Yes, sir.” Goes up and briefs Trump. After that Clapper calls CNN and says, “Guess what? The director of the FBI, I can tell you with good authority, has just informed the president of the dossier.”
CNN’s four reporters start having orgasms, “Oh, my God. Oh, my God.” Really? “Yes, I can confirm that this has happened.” So they run the story. Then Clapper lies about being the leak, then he turns around and admits that he’s the leak, and then CNN hires them. And then these guys all get an award for this? And here is how it happened Saturday night at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
JONATHAN KARL: The Merriman Smith award for broadcast goes to Evan Perez, Jim Sciutto, Jake Tapper and Carl Bernstein of CNN. These four journalists and a number of other CNN reporters broke the story that the intelligence community had briefed President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump that Russia had compromising information about Mr. Trump. The CNN team later reported that then-FBI Director James Comey personally briefed Trump about the dossier.
RUSH: That’s why I say this is the scandal of the night, not the comedian. This. There is no scandalous information about President Trump! To this day the dossier remains unverified and uncorroborated. There’s not a word of truth in it. “These four reporters had compromising information about Mr. Trump. The CNN team later reported that then-FBI director James Comey personally briefed Trump about the dossier that Russia had compromising information about Mr.” Trump. Total BS. Total BS.
Look at the sanctimony. These guys didn’t report anything! They didn’t break anything in terms of the story. They took dictation. This is how serious these people take themselves, folks. And this whole thing was organized, it was structured. I also got an email, “What do you mean, Rush, all these Hollywood people funding the investigation, the dossier?” You haven’t heard this. Let me pass this on to you.
“A group of wealthy donors from New York and California have forked out 50 million –” now, remember something as I go through this. When Comey briefed Trump about the dossier, he did not tell Trump where it came from. He didn’t tell Trump that it was the product of the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC. He did not say that it was bought and paid for by the Hillary campaign. He did not, to this day, he told Bret Baier last Thursday night that he doesn’t even know that to this day, which cannot be true! But that’s his story, and he’s sticking with it.
This is an additional investigation. These guys did not pay their $50 million along with Hillary and whatever she paid. This $50 million was forked over after Steele came up with nothing. These people have so much hate that when Steele’s dossier failed, they hired him again! In this case, a group of wealthy donors, New York and California, paid $50 million to fund a Russia investigation by Christopher Steele, Fusion GPS, and a former Senate staffer for Dianne Feinstein. A former staffer for Dianne Feinstein was in on this!
That is also reported. It’s in a footnote in the House Intelligence Committee newly released report on Russian interference in the campaign. While the dossier project failed to help Hillary Clinton win the presidency, Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele have continued their work. And that’s according to statements from the former Feinstein staffer. His name is Daniel Jones. He runs the Penn Quarter Group. It’s a consulting group in Washington. The former staffer for Feinstein was working with these millionaires to pay Christopher Steele to deep digging.
In other words, this investigation is separate and apart from the Hillary campaign funded Steele investigation that gave us the Steele dossier. It began later. It continues to this day. Steele is still digging. After coming up with nothing, these rich Democrat donors from New York and California remain unsatisfied. Their unbridled hate is separating them from their money. They are so convinced that the pee tape exists. That’s what this all is.
And folks, do not be surprised, like I said last week, if out of nowhere there is a grainy, black and white video of some people urinating on a bed down the road. Do not be surprised. When you pay $50 million to an investigator, he better come up with something. After Hillary had paid whatever she paid to the DNC — and their payments to Steele were in the millions as well.
The House report states that in March 2017, Daniel Jones, the former Feinstein staffer, told the FBI about a project he’s working on with Steele and Fusion GPS paid for $250 million by seven to 10 wealthy donors from New York and California. They’ve got it on the brain. They’re so convinced that all of this is true that if they just pay more money to the guy they paid all these millions to and came up empty, if they give him another 50, he’ll come up with something.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I want you to listen to a sound bite from Jim Comey. I’m going back in time here. Remember the story: CNN gets this gigantic award at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner Saturday for breaking the story that Comey had presented the dossier to Trump. That was the hook that got the dossier into mainstream media. But we have since learned from the House Intelligence Committee report that James Clapper instructed Comey to inform Trump about the dossier, then Clapper told CNN that Comey was gonna do it.
So CNN runs the story. Clapper first lies about this and then has to correct the lie under congressional testimony. On January 6th, Comey presents the dossier to Trump. On January 10th, 2017, CNN runs their earth-shattering story. And it was nothing more than a gigantic setup to get the dossier in the public news domain. Sunday Meet the Press, Chuck Todd interviewing Comey. Chuck Todd says, “When you told Trump the contents of the Steele dossier, did you get the impression it was the first time he had ever heard these allegations?”
COMEY: Yes, and I didn’t give him the briefing on the whole Steele dossier. My assignment was to brief him on a small part of it that was salacious and personal, and my sense was… I didn’t get a sense that he knew about those.
RUSH: “My assignment was…”? He’s the FBI director. What assignment? So Comey has kind of stepped in it here is my point. “Well, I didn’t give him the briefing in the whole Steele dossier, but my assignment was to brief him on a small part of it that was salacious and personal. My sense was I didn’t get a sense that he knew.” Notice Chuck Todd’s not interested in following up on whether Comey told Trump that Hillary had paid off this.
Chuck’s not interested in that because to Chuck Todd, that’s not news. It’s no big deal, who paid for it. “My assignment was to brief him…”? So what Comey’s saying here is, “I only told him about the golden showers. I only told him about the prostitutes peeing on the bed.” Well, we know now that it was James Clapper and Brennan at the CIA that told Comey to go do this. The aim was not to inform Trump. It was to give them an excuse to let CNN run the story.
