Limbaugh called Flynghazi a "political assassination," and blames the former administration

Rush Limbaugh has questions about Michael Flynn's Russia ties: "When did Barack Obama know?"

Limbaugh called Flynghazi a "political assassination," and blames the former administration

MATTHEW ROZSA

Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh claims that the resignation of former national security adviser Michael Flynn is part of a “political assassination” plot — perhaps orchestrated by President Barack Obama — against President Donald Trump.

“The question is, what did Barack Obama know and when did he know it and what has he engineered here?” Limbaugh asked on Tuesday. “This all happened with Flynn back in December. Trump had not even been inaugurated yet. And it’s still mysterious to me what really happened. Even if, even if Flynn, as the incoming national security director, had called the Russian ambassador to talk, so what? That’s not hard to imagine. That’s not a big deal. It really isn’t a big deal.”

Flynn had to resign precisely because Trump wasn’t in office yet. By engaging in diplomatic negotiations with a foreign power as a private citizen, Flynn may have violated the Logan Act.

“The media’s gonna try as hard as they can not to let go of this, because now they’ve got their scalp,” Limbaugh added. “They think they have blood in the water, they’ve got a scalp and they think they can get another and then another and then another and then another until finally they get Trump.” He concluded, “So what we have here, we have a political assassination that’s taken place here, a political assassination.”

Funny how little we've heard from him or any of the other talkycretins (then again, I don't listen - still very little of what they've said has been brought to DU - which is the only place I would know about it)

Speaking to a foreign state is one thing.

Speaking to a foreign state about reversing the punishments to that state for fucking with our internal election processes is something else altogether. The question for the Snowflakes from this point forward is going to be: What if President Hillary had done this?, and that should shut them right the hell up.

Fuck Rush and his drug-addeled theories.

Who rants so loudly he's eventually cut off while the bartender calls a cab to take him home.
