Limbaugh: Here’s The Line The Media Will Downplay From Rosenstein’s Russian Interference Announcement

On Friday, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has handed down 12 indictments against members of the Russian government for hacking the emails of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton. On his show Friday, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh pointed out one particular quote from Rosenstein that he predicted the Left and the media would attempt to downplay.

“There is no allegation in this indictment that any American citizen committed a crime,” said Rosenstein. “There is no allegation that the conspiracy changed the vote count or affected any election result.”

“So, once again we have had another bombshell indictment or event that the Drive-Bys get to cover, that the Drive-Bys get to go overboard, ‘See? There was Russian collusion, there was Russian collusion,'” said Limbaugh. “Just like all those stories in The New York Times and all those anonymous blind sources convinced that Trump had colluded, somewhere in every story near the end or in the last 25% of the story one line that would indicate to date no evidence for any of this has yet been found.”

Amid his announcement of the 12 indictments, said Limbaugh, “Rosenstein practically whispers, ‘Well, there’s no allegation in the indictment that any American citizen committed a crime. Shh. Shh. And there’s no allegation that the conspiracy changed the vote count or affected an election at all. So there’s really nothing to see here, because whatever these Russians were trying, it didn’t affect the election at all.'”

“So what do you think is the logical conclusion most people are gonna come to?” asked the radio host. “After a year and a half of hearing about Trump-Russia collusion, are they gonna hear Rosenstein say, ‘By the way, doesn’t involve any Americans. No votes were affected. The outcome of no election was affected.’ Gonna hear that? What do you think?”

After months and months, said Limbaugh, “we haven’t learned a single thing about this since day one.”

“Since day one we haven’t been able to find a shred of evidence that the outcome of the election was affected,” he said. “Meaning, from day one we can’t find where Donald Trump stole the election. Meaning, from day one we can’t find any evidence that Vladimir Putin stole it for Donald Trump. They’ve got nothing. But they did all of this. They did the Steele dossier. They did the informants. They ramped up a phony investigation.”

The Mueller investigation, he said, is basically a big “cover up” to “mask” the failures of the Democratic Party. “So the Mueller investigation is essentially to mask, to cover up, to keep out of the news that the DNC and the Clinton campaign were stupid in protecting data,” said Limbaugh.
