Rush Limbaugh blames Hillary Clinton for failed ‘coup attempt’ against Trump
But Limbaugh stressed that Clinton, more than any other figure, was the focal point behind the “coup.” Sure, Obama’s intelligence officials played key roles, but Clinton’s traces are everywhere to be found in the operation. “This was a Hillary Clinton inspired, motivated, bought-and-paid-for operation, everywhere you look in this thing,” Limbaugh said. “[Andrew] McCabe’s wife got money from the Clintons and her campaign in Virginia. [Christopher] Steele paid for by the Clintons. [Andrew]...

The failed “coup attempt” to take down President Donald Trump was “95%” Hillary Clinton’s work, Rush Limbaugh said.

Citing a Federalist  article by H.A. Goodman, Limbaugh broke down how Clinton was the No. 1 figure behind the so-called “Deep State” conspiracy to sabotage the Trump campaign and, failing that, to thwart his presidency. While the likes of James Comey and John Brennan played important supporting roles, Clinton was the “architect.”

“I actually think that the architect of all of this is Hillary Clinton, that Hillary Clinton is responsible for this coup — and then people like Comey and others in the [Barack] Obama administration,” Limbaugh said. “It’s hard to separate Obama and Hillary. But this was a Hillary bought-and-paid-for, led-by operation. And it incorporated the Obama DOJ.”

Placing the blame


With the end of the Mueller probe and the beginning of Attorney General William Barr’s review of the origins of the Russia hoax, familiar players have been in the spotlight, from former FBI Director James Comey to former CIA chief John Brennan. But while the FBI, DOJ, and CIA played important roles in the “coup,” they did not supply the “intelligence” that formed the basis of the probe, Limbaugh said.

The radio host said that “every news item, every little bit of information that fed this narrative the past two years or three now — that Trump colluded with Russia — came not from American intelligence, not from British intelligence. It didn’t come from FBI intelligence,” he said. “It came from the Clinton campaign.”

Anti-Trump “coup”


Limbaugh traced how the whole operation — from the FBI’s exoneration of Clinton, to Democrats rigging the primaries against Bernie Sanders, and then Clinton funding the dossier that formed the basis of the Russia hoax — was done at Clinton’s behest. Limbaugh noted that Clinton-linked officials in the Obama administration first had to exonerate her of wrongdoing in her misuse of a private email server, which Comey did in July of 2016.

From there, the conspirators turned to denying Trump the presidency. Again, helping Clinton was the motivating factor, and Clinton played a key role in getting the coup off the ground by funding the dirty Russia dossier.

“After that, the project became, ‘Make sure Trump doesn’t win, make sure Hillary does.’ And when that didn’t happen, it was focus efforts on somehow getting rid of Trump,” Limbaugh said. He went on to acknowledge arguments that “you can’t take [Obama] out of this because all of this happened while he was president. And all these institutions — FBI, CIA, and all that — were run by people he’d appointed.”

But Limbaugh stressed that Clinton, more than any other figure, was the focal point behind the “coup.” Sure, Obama’s intelligence officials played key roles, but Clinton’s traces are everywhere to be found in the operation.

“This was a Hillary Clinton inspired, motivated, bought-and-paid-for operation, everywhere you look in this thing,” Limbaugh said . “[Andrew] McCabe’s wife got money from the Clintons and her campaign in Virginia. [Christopher] Steele paid for by the Clintons. [Andrew] Weissmann — Mueller’s guy — was on stage with Hillary during her concession speech and was a big donor. Alexander Downer, the Australian ambassador that supposedly nails [George] Papadopoulos? These people are all part of the Clinton Foundation or the Clinton campaign.”

Minding her business? Not so fast


Clinton was not “minding her own business,” while the Deep State went to work, Limbaugh said; far from it — that’s just not Clinton’s way.

“That’s not who Hillary Clinton is,” Limbaugh insisted. “We know who she is. We know who she’s always been, and this is exactly the kind of operation Hillary Clinton always mounted when her husband was in the White House. She was always a humongous left-wing activist. In fact, when Bill Clinton was in the White House they played the roles.”

Rather than stand idly by, Clinton had the Democratic primary rigged against Sanders, much like she expected the general election to be rigged in her favor with the help of the FBI, DOJ, CIA and other agencies, Limbaugh said. All the officials involved in the “coup” were “linked and tied back to Hillary Clinton, including Mueller’s lead negotiator, lead investigator.”

But the biggest connection of all was Clinton’s involvement in funding the Christopher Steele dossier. With the dossier, the Clinton campaign leveraged the power of the American intelligence apparatus to spy on a political rival — an unprecedented abuse of power. Limbaugh himself cited a piece from John Solomon of The Hill that describes the Steele-Clinton collusion as “arguably the most devious political dirty trick in American history and one of the most overt intrusions of a foreigner into a U.S. election.”

“Screw Russia. How about Steele?” Limbaugh pressed. “You want to talk about foreign intervention in an election, Solomon’s right. Christopher Steele, a British spy who went out and was fed phony items of intelligence by Russian spies that were friends of his, and that’s what made up the Steele dossier.”

It all started with the dossier


The real collusion was between Clinton and Steele, not Trump and Russia, Limbaugh said. Clinton’s funding of the Steele dossier was a campaign contribution that she kept hidden using multiple layers — hiring law firm Perkins Coie, which in turn hired opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which in turn hired Steele.

“Trump didn’t do any of the collusion. Hillary did, with Steele. The foreign collusion was Hillary and Steele using Russians,” Limbaugh said. “A lot of people think this thing all started because somebody really thought Trump was colluding. And that’s not what happened.”

Although the FBI, DOJ, and CIA played important roles in the “coup,” their intelligence had nothing to do with the genesis of the investigation, according to Limbaugh. It all started for one reason only: Hillary Clinton and the salacious dossier she paid for.

“The CIA didn’t find anything. The FBI didn’t find anything. The only thing anybody ever had was what Hillary Clinton gave them,” Limbaugh said. “And every one of these people, apparently an uber-loyalist to Hillary Clinton, then took that ball, the dossier, and ran as far as it would take them.”

Except for the fact that there were more than 140 highly inappropriate and possibly illegal meetings and clandestine interactions which were documented in the Mueller Report between high ranking officials of the Trump campaign and known agents of Russian State Intelligence Services which the Trump campaign has since felt they had to lie about this might be plausible. Yeah, except for that. Hmmmm...

Looks like someone didn't read the Mueller report, which said that while trump didn't seek out help from the Russians, he did accept their help when it was offered. 

Be careful, you were singing his praises when he said there was no collusion, right? Or are you going to walk that back?

 No evidence of any American knowingly colluding with Russia or Russian intelligence assets.

Except for everyone who has been indicted and sent to prison.

Which states:

A statement that the investigation did not establish particular facts does not mean there was no evidence of those facts.
In evaluating whether evidence about collective action of multiple individuals constituted
a crime, we applied the framework of conspiracy law, not the concept of "collusion."

But collusion is not a specific offense or theory of liability found in the United States Code, nor is it a term of art in federal criminal law.

As an initial matter , this Office evaluated potentially criminal conduct that involved the collective action of multiple individuals not under the rubric of "collusion," but through the lens of conspiracy law.

("An agreement between two or more persons to defraud a person of his rights by the forms of law, or to obtain an object forbidden by law.").
For that reason, this Office ' s focus in resolving the question of joint criminal liability was on conspiracy as defined in federal law, not the commonly discussed term "collusion."

Most of the rest of the time that collusion is cited in the report, it's Trump saying 'no collusion'.

This looks like collusion to me, 

I. Summary of Major Findings

The redacted Mueller Report documents a series of activities that show strong evidence of collusion. Or, more precisely, it provides significant evidence that Trump Campaign associates coordinated with, cooperated with, encouraged, or gave support to the Russia/WikiLeaks election interference activities. The Report documents the following actions (each of which is analyzed in detail in Part II):

1. Trump was receptive to a Campaign national security adviser’s (George Papadopoulos) pursuit of a back channel to Putin.

2. Kremlin operatives provided the Campaign a preview of the Russian plan to distribute stolen emails.

3. The Trump Campaign chairman and deputy chairman (Paul Manafort and Rick Gates) knowingly shared internal polling data and information on battleground states with a Russian spy; and the Campaign chairman worked with the Russian spy on a pro-Russia “peace” plan for Ukraine.

4. The Trump Campaign chairman periodically shared internal polling data with the Russian spy with the expectation it would be shared with Putin-linked oligarch, Oleg Deripaska.

5. Trump Campaign chairman Manafort expected Trump’s winning the presidency would mean Deripaska would want to use Manafort to advance Deripaska’s interests in the United States and elsewhere.

6. Trump Tower meeting: (1) On receiving an email offering derogatory information on Clinton coming from a Russian government official, Donald Trump Jr. “appears to have accepted that offer;” (2) members of the Campaign discussed the Trump Tower meeting beforehand; (3) Donald Trump Jr. told the Russians during the meeting that Trump could revisit the issue of the Magnitsky Act if elected.

7. A Trump Campaign official told the Special Counsel he “felt obliged to object” to a GOP Platform change on Ukraine because it contradicted Trump’s wishes; however, the investigation did not establish that Gordon was directed by Trump.

8. Russian military hackers may have followed Trump’s July 27, 2016 public statement “Russia if you’re listening …” within hours by targeting Clinton’s personal office for the first time.

9. Trump requested campaign affiliates to get Clinton’s emails, which resulted in an individual apparently acting in coordination with the Campaign claiming to have successfully contacted Russian hackers.

10. The Trump Campaign—and Trump personally—appeared to have advanced knowledge of future WikiLeaks releases.

11. The Trump Campaign coordinated campaign-related public communications based on future WikiLeaks releases.

12. Michael Cohen, on behalf of the Trump Organization, brokered a secret deal for a Trump Tower Moscow project directly involving Putin’s inner circle, at least until June 2016.

13. During the presidential transition, Jared Kushner and Eric Prince engaged in secret back channel communications with Russian agents. (1) Kushner suggested to the Russian Ambassador that they use a secure communication line from within the Russian Embassy to speak with Russian Generals; and (2) Prince and Kushner’s friend Rick Gerson conducted secret back channel meetings with a Putin agent to develop a plan for U.S.-Russian relations.

14. During the presidential transition, in coordination with other members of the Transition Team, Michael Flynn spoke with the Russian Ambassador to prevent a tit for tat Russian response to the Obama administration’s imposition of sanctions for election interference; the Russians agreed not to retaliate saying they wanted a good relationship with the incoming administration.

During the course of 2016, Trump Campaign associates failed to report any of the Russian/WikiLeaks overtures to federal law enforcement, publicly denied any contacts with Russians/WikiLeaks, and actively encouraged the public to doubt that Russia was behind the hacking and distribution of stolen emails.

We had 48 state races and one district where the person winning the plurality of votes in that state or district won all the electoral votes for the given state or district. Whether won by one vote or 4,000,000 doesn’t matter.  You win the state or not and the vote is not cumulative.  Hillary won all the ev’s for Ca.  Trump won all the ev’s for Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.  Trump competed according to the rules in place.

What does that have to do with Hillary losing to Trump?

It would behoove you to follow the thread Tex. 

Here, I'll help. My comment was in reply to this one: 

That’s because she thought that 4,000,000 extra votes in California

I cited the FACT that Clinton did not get 4,000,000 EXTRA votes in California. 

And without California, she wouldn't have won the "popular" vote Dems are so fond of citing.

Well gee Tex, since you want to take 55 electoral votes from Clinton, how about I take the 46 EV's of MI, WI and PA from Trump? What other states would you like to disenfranchise? I'm still 9 short...

If winning a state was all about campaigning there, Clinton should have won PA and FL hands down.

No. Putin said himself, several times, that he wanted trump to win. Speculation is that the reason is two fold. 

1) Putin HATES Clinton, (which also makes the "Clinton colluded with Russia" claim even more ridiculous), which put him firmly in trumps corner.  

2) Not a big secret that trump has borrowed hundreds of millions of dollars from Russia to build golf courses all over the world, Putin could use that as leverage to get what he wants from the USA, (mostly sanctions removed that the Obama admin imposed). Our current congress voted unanimously, to impose sanctions on Russia for their interference in the 2016 election...trump refused to impose them.... Why?

so she was colluding to do what?

Oh, hiring an outside agent (Steele) to produce a bullshit fake dossier that he funneled to the State Department, FBI, CIA, and never Trumpers on both sides of the isle in Congress. The FBI ran with the ball and used the Steele Dossier to help get FISA warrants against Carter Page (who they have know about forever, and has helped out both the FBI and CIA as an informant in the past). Using the illegal FISA warrants they proceeded to investigate everything Trump.  Of course both Comey and Mueller made the bone headed mistake of not questioning, or indicting Carter Page. Some master spy- kind of blows a complete hole in their FISA warrants when they couldn't turn up jack shit on him. Not even something like tax evasion; lying under oath (again have to bother to question him first); or conspiracy.

Help donny win? 

You are almost too funny. Problem with the plan Hillary, Steele, and the Obama administration cooked up was that it was too damn slow. They couldn't get enough dirt to do anything. Again blowing holes in the whole Carter Page master spy argument. It then turned into a remove Trump from office, since Hillary lost. Trump isn't establishment.

7.1  Ronin2  replied to  MrFrost @7    5 years ago

You misspelled "Rubio Campaign". 

Been debunked. Next.

T he Washington Free Beacon did not bankroll the Steele dossier, a highly dubious work of opposition research alleging the Russians have compromising personal and financial information on Donald Trump.

Rather, the conservative newsroom hired the same research firm that later created it, Fusion GPS, in 2016 to investigate Trump and other Republican candidates during the GOP primaries.

After Trump had won the nomination, the Free Beacon dropped the project. It was at that point that Democratic operatives swooped in, bringing along with them former British spy Christopher Steele. It is from Steele’s work that we get all this Russia business

To reiterate, the Free Beacon had nothing to do with Steele or his work on the dossier.

“The Free Beacon had no knowledge of or connection to the Steele dossier, did not pay for the dossier, and never had contact with, knowledge of, or provided payment for any work performed by Christopher Steele,” the group’s top brass said in a statement . “Nor did we have any knowledge of the relationship between Fusion GPS and the Democratic National Committee, Perkins Coie, and the Clinton campaign.”

For some reason, though, media keep claiming incorrectly that the Free Beacon ("Republicans") initially funded the Russia file.

Former FBI Director James Comey falsely claimed throughout two recently congressional interviews that Republicans were the initial backers of the infamous Steele dossier, which alleges a vast conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russian government to influence the 2016 election.

Comey claimed twice in an interview Monday with the House Judiciary and House Oversight Committees that Republicans initially commissioned the work of Christopher Steele, the former British spy behind the dossier. He made similar claims twice more in an interview with the same committees on Dec. 7.

“I remember being told that Steele’s work had been funded first by Republicans opposed to Trump, then by Democrats opposed to Trump,” Comey said at one point during Monday’s interview, according to a transcript of the session. (RELATED: House Committees Release James Comey Transcript)

“It was Republicans opposed to Trump, and then it was Democrats opposed to Trump,” he said later in the same interview.

Comey, who was fired as FBI chief on May 9, 2017, made the same mistake in his interview earlier this month.

“I thought [Steele] was retained as part of a Republican-financed effort — retained by Republicans adverse to Mr. Trump during the primary season, and then his work was underwritten after that by Democrats opposed to Mr. Trump during 110 the general election season,” Comey said during his Dec. 7 interview.

Later, he said that he believed that it was important for investigators to understand that the dossier was “a politically motivated effort, first by Republicans, then by Democrats.”

It is clear from the transcripts of Comey’s interviews that he was unfamiliar with details of the dossier and how it was handled within the FBI. He was fuzzy on dates and said that he was not familiar with Fusion GPS, the firm the hired Steele, or Perkins Coie, the law firm that hired Fusion on behalf of the Clinton campaign and DNC.

Comey is not the only Trump opponent to falsely claim that Republicans were involved in the dossier. Democrats and many journalists have repeated the inaccurate claim. The source of confusion revolves around the timeline of Fusion GPS’s investigation into Trump.

The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website owned by Republican donor Paul Singer, paid Fusion GPS during the 2016 primary season to investigate Trump. But executives with the website and with Fusion GPS have said that they discontinued the Trump research effort after it became apparent that the real estate baron would win the GOP nomination.

“I think we started in September or October, and I think it wound down in April [2016], sometime in the spring,” Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson testified to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on Nov. 14, 2017. “As the Republican primaries came to an end, it became obvious that that work was going to end.”

Fusion went looking for a new client soon after to continue its investigation of Trump. The firm found Perkins Coie.

With a new client funding its anti-Trump effort, Fusion GPS hired Steele in June 2016. Perkins Coie paid Fusion around $1 million through November 2016, and Fusion paid Steele around $170,000.

Steele, a former MI6 officer who worked in Russia before retiring, relied on intermediaries to obtain information about Trump and his campaign advisers.

Steele would go on to produce 17 memos dates from June 20, 2016, to Dec. 13, 2016. The FBI relied on his unverified memos to obtain four Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page .

Republicans have accused the FBI and Comey of misleading the FISA Court by relying so heavily on the dossier, which was unverified when the FBI included information from it in FISA applications.

Republicans have also argued that the FBI should have told FISA judges that the Clinton campaign and DNC were the ultimate funders of the dossier.

The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund research that resulted in a now-famous dossier containing allegations about President Trump's connections to Russia and possible coordination between his campaign and the Kremlin, people familiar with the matter said.

Marc E. Elias, a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained Fusion GPS, a Washington firm, to conduct the research.

After that, Fusion GPS hired dossier author Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer with ties to the FBI and the U.S. intelligence community, according to those people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Elias and his law firm, Perkins Coie, retained the company in April 2016 on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC. Before that agreement, Fusion GPS's research into Trump was funded by an unknown Republican client during the GOP primary.

The Clinton campaign and the DNC, through the law firm, continued to fund Fusion GPS's research through the end of October 2016, days before Election Day.

Fusion GPS gave Steele's reports and other research documents to Elias, the people familiar with the matter said. It is unclear how or how much of that information was shared with the campaign and the DNC and who in those organizations was aware of the roles of Fusion GPS and Steele. One person close to the matter said the campaign and the DNC were not informed by the law firm of Fusion GPS's role.

Some of the details are included in a Tuesday letter sent by Perkins Coie to a lawyer representing Fusion GPS, telling the research firm that it was released from a ­client-confidentiality obligation. The letter was prompted by a legal fight over a subpoena for Fusion GPS's bank records.

People involved in the matter said that they would not disclose the dollar amounts paid to Fusion GPS but that the campaign and the DNC shared the cost.

Fusion GPS didn't hire Steele until after the Clinton Campaign, and DNC, started footing the bill.

Guess the left is practicing Goebbels “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

Listening to Rush neither educates nor enlightens. His message is one of division, hate, bigotry, misogyny, open Islamophobia and barely hidden antisemitism. Sure, he's the poster boy for pill popping fat white pieces of shit who think way too much of themselves, but is that really who any rational person should be listening to for advice? It's like listening to the cookie monster talk about how amazing cookies are when your on a diet, accept that instead of cookies Rush expounds on white nationalism, Christian supremacy and male chauvinism.

His brain has been fried by his previous addictions.  The man has no marbles left except the ones in his mouth.  Listening to him is bad enough, but listening to the poor saps who buy his song and dance is worse.  Its pathetic how the uneducated are manipulated by the shysters.

Limbaugh is a racist blowhard. He tried to be a sports caster but couldn't keep his racism out of his commentary. So he goes to racist conservative radio where his audience laps up his shit spewing with gusto.

Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.

Only another racist would pay any attention to this sad sack of shit.

Actually the key word is, 'coup'. The FBI investigates people, regardless of who they happen to be, if they suspect a crime has been committed. The FBI investigating someone is not a 'coup', no matter how much you want to frame it that way. 

Once again, trump uses extreme hyperbole to get his base fired up. Sadly, far too many people actually bought it. There was no 'coup', sorry.
