RUSH: On CNN Jim Sciutto is
talking to James Clapper, Obama's Director of National Intelligence, who was as
corrupt as John Brennan, Obama's Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. And Jim Sciutto says, "Are you concerned
that Barr or Durham's investigation will find wrongdoing and seek to punish
former intelligence officials like you?"
CLAPPER: The message I'm getting from all this is,
apparently what we were supposed to have done was to ignore the Russian
interference, ignore the Russian meddling and the threat that it poses to us,
and oh, by the way, blown off what the then commander in chief, President
Obama, told us to do, which was to assemble all the reporting that we could
that we had available to us --
RUSH: Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop the digital. Did
you hear what he just said? He just said (imitating Clapper), "And, by the
way, should we have just blown off what Obama told us to do?” Does he know what
he's just done here? Clapper on CNN today said Obama made us do it. Here,
finish the bite.
CLAPPER: -- and put it in one report that the president could
pass on to the Congress and to the next administration. And while we're at it,
declassify as much as we possibly could to make it public, and that's what we
did…. It's kind of disconcerting now to be investigated for, you know having
done our duty and done what we were told to do by the president.
RUSH: Well, so now he doesn't like it! Now that he's
being investigated by [Attorney General Bill] Barr and [Attorney John] Durham,
he says, "Hey, it was Obama. We're just doing what Obama told us to
do," which we've always suspected. But I find it fascinating the way he
characterizes this…
…
From the beginning, the only Russian in the story was
that fat ambassador who took everybody to lunch, [Sergey] Kislyak. Other than
that, there weren't any Russians in the story!
…
They concocted all of this! The Steele dossier is how
they concocted all of this! Clapper was instrumental in the Steele dossier
ending up in the news on CNN.
Let me tell you that story briefly. January 6, 2017.
Obama's still in office…They've got the Steele dossier. They're desperate to
get this thing in the news!... So Comey and Brennan and Clapper have a meeting
with Trump at Trump Tower on June 6th. At the end of the meeting, Comey says,
"Look, I need to talk to the president about something," and sends
Clapper and Brennan out of the room.
At that point, Comey pulls out the dossier and says,
"Mr. President, I know you said that you don't like having intel briefings
every day, but let me just show you why you should. This is the kind of stuff
that's out there, Mr. President" and he shows him one thing in the Steele
dossier, the golden showers story. One thing... It was a setup. He was hoping
to get some kind of Trump verbal response that they could then say was
confirmation or something or other. But barring that -- and Trump did not say
anything that Comey could go out and quote.
So when Trump says, "It's silly, this is crazy, it's
asinine. Why are you wasting my time with this?" Comey leaves and calls
Clapper, who had just left the room moments ago. Comey calls Clapper and says,
"Mission accomplished." This is Comey's own testimony of this before
a congressional committee… Clapper called CNN and told them the president had
just been shown the details of the Steele dossier. That made the Steele dossier
reportable. That meant that they could now report it.
….
So Clapper calls CNN; CNN runs with that story. "The
president's now aware! The president has seen it." BuzzFeed takes the
occasion to publish the entire dossier. Then CNN starts doing fake news and
gets a Pulitzer Prize for reporting on Trump learning about the dossier.
…
[N]ow, apparently following orders from Obama -- to leak
to CNN that Trump had been presented this story. That is one of the most
glaring examples. There are countless stories like this throughout this sordid
three-year period. But this is how they got the dossier in the news. The
whistleblower is how they're getting in the news that Trump…[talked] to the
Ukraine president -- conspired to get Biden.
