By the way, a little history here. You know, there were all kinds of calls when George Bush left office in 2009 for the left to investigate him. Obama and Eric Holder were under pressure to investigate and prosecute Bush. I bet most people don't remember this, but it wasn't until June 30th, 2011, that Eric Holder announced that of the more than 100 cases the Justice Department had reviewed, that there would be no charges brought in any of them, except...
Well, there were two. They weren't dropped until August 30th of 2012. Four years that the Obama Justice Department... There were 100 ostensible cases, allegations. No weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, allegations of torture, all this garbage that left was putting out, and the Obama Justice Department took four years considering those cases. And after four years is when they announced that no charges would be pursued and no prosecutions would be pursued. So Trump's got time, is the point, folks.
However, there's something you gotta realize about this. We live in a country where power changes hands cyclically, because everybody in power screws up at some point, or the voters get fickle and just want a change. If Hillary Clinton were prosecuted and if... Well, let's just leave it at that. If she were prosecuted, there is not a Republican safe from liberal Democrat harassment and prosecution on there on after.
If she were prosecuted and convicted? (snorts) You want to think if they put her in jail? You can imagine the Democrat reciprocity on this. Now, some of you are saying, "That's not a reason not to do it. We can't predict the future. That's not a reason. We're tired of the powerful getting away with it!" I understand it. I am, too. Frankly, I'm tired of the powerful getting away with all kinds of stuff. Hillary didn't win -- and, folks, there are ways without an actual prosecution.
There are ways for what has been going on at that foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative, there are ways that that can be exposed and embarrass and humiliate and all that. Do you know they've already seen a drop of 37% in donations? Now, if it's a charity, why a 37% drop? There's a 37% drop because the donors figured out the Clintons can't do anything for 'em anymore. That's not pretty.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Let me tell you what's really delicious about this Trump announcement they're not gonna prosecute. They're also saying something else. They're saying, "No, we're gonna help her heal." Ha-ha-ha! Folks, that... I guarantee you she is smoking in humiliation over the idea that she needs to heal and that Trump's the guy to do it. That was great.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Now, let's not forget something on this prosecuting Hillary business. It's not just Trump supporters. Bernie Sanders supporters are gonna be among those who are not happy to hear this. Trump just said that he thinks his supporters will be okay and understanding with his decision not to prosecute the Clintons. He says that he doesn't want to hurt the Clintons. He's now saying he might not pursue prosecuting Hillary 'cause he doesn't want to hurt the Clintons.
It's the same thing he said a few months ago when he refrained from bringing up Bill's affairs and all the women. Even though Hillary was blasting him for being a sexist and so forth, Trump refrained from bringing up Bill. But, anyway, the Obama administration took four years to say they weren't gonna do anything on George W. Bush. There were all kinds of people that wanted to prosecute him over the torture, quote, unquote, at Guantanamo Bay
