Unless you’re living under a rock, you’ve heard the story. President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey. Democrats are convinced it’s because Comey was *this close* to busting him in the Russia investigation, despite there being not one shred of evidence of collusion. Trump administration officials simply say Comey lost the confidence of both the POTUS and the American people. Trump even mentioned that Comey assured him that he (Trump) wasn’t under investigation. He actually included it in the termination letter.
Rush Limbaugh talked about that during his show Wednesday.
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.
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.
You KNOW they’re DYING to ask Comey if he really told Trump that.
Limbaugh also talked about the general tone of hate coming out of DC. He said it’s like nothing he’s ever seen before.
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.
Which again, there’s no evidence. Plus, the investigation isn’t going to just disappear because Comey’s been fired. Someone’s going to pick up where he left off. I don’t know why Democrats are pretending otherwise.
Nothing comes to a screeching halt here just because Comey’s been let go. But the hysteria and the panic and the outrage is rooted in raw hate. The Democrats, wherever you find ’em — in the media, think tanks, don’t care where you find ’em — they’re being consumed by it, folks. They’re literally being eaten alive with an irrational, raw hatred literally absorbing them. Nothing good for them can come of this kind of hate and resulting derangement. Nothing good. This is not how you put together winning movements.
This is not how you build or grow anything, this kind of raw, unfettered hate that they now have lost total control over — and Trump is just taunting them. Trump is just feeding it. He’s doing everything he can to drive them even crazier, and they’re falling for it each and every occasion. Now, nobody’s focusing on the detail that Comey has told Trump three times there’s nothing there. Three times Comey has told Trump, “I’m not investigating you.” They’re looking past that. They’re not even seeing that.
All they’re seeing is that Trump put it in the letter, and that must mean that Trump’s got something to hide or he’s trying to put Comey on the spot or there’s some kind of power play going on. They’re incapable of rationality. They are incapable of reason. They are incapable of just taking a moment to absorb things. They are into knee-jerk reactions based on whatever triggers set them off, and they have stopped thinking, they have stopped pondering, they have stopped considering, and they’re just reacting like spoiled brat little kids.
I have to say, I love Rush Limbaugh’s take. He sees trolling of epic proportions. I particularly loved how he pointed out that Hillary Clinton has been screwed over yet AGAIN. I never even thought of it from that angle.
Do you realize…? Let me tell you what’s happened here. The Democrat Party has once again thrown Hillary Clinton overboard. Hillary Clinton is the most cheated-on woman in America by people in her own party, and it’s happened again. If you’re wondering what I’m talking about, stand by; I’m gonna explain all of this. But they have just chosen sides and, once again, Hillary gets thrown under the bus. And not only that, the Democrats are rolling that bus backwards and forwards. She’s finished! She’s over with.
The Democrat Party and the media have made it clear that she is fodder. She is irrelevant here. (laughing) It is amazing. Two days ago, they were all talking about how Comey needs to be fired because of how he was mistreating Hillary, and the Hillary people were running around claiming that Comey’s a bad guy. And now Comey gets fired, and all of a sudden they do a 180!
Amazing, isn’t it? Before, Comey was Literally Satan. So Trump probably figured that Democrats would be happy with his decision. But nooooooo. That’s not how Democrats operate. They can’t agree with Trump on anything.
One last thing. Andrea Mitchell asked the visiting Soviet foreign minister a question the other day, and it’s all kinds of entertaining.
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.
I honestly don’t know whether I should laugh or cry about the left’s behavior.
