Rush: Source Sez POTUS Telling People Mueller to Issue Letter Exonerating President of Wrongdoing
2017-12-19
[Breitbart] Monday on his nationally syndicated radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh told his listeners he received an email with a "rumor" saying President Donald Trump was forecasting a letter from special counsel Robert Mueller exonerating him of wrongdoing.

Mueller has been investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

"I’ll tell you ‐ I just heard a rumor," Limbaugh said. "I just got an email with a rumor in it. The rumor is that Trump is telling people that Mueller is preparing a letter that exonerates Trump of any wrongdoing in all of this. It’s a rumor. I do not know if it’s true. I don’t know if Trump knows this. I don’t know if somebody told Trump this. I don’t know if it’s bogus. But the email that I got suggests Trump is telling people that he thinks ‐ he’s pretty sure Mueller is going to write a letter pretty soon to assure the American people that their president is not guilty of anything that he’s looking into ‐ that the country needs to know their president isn’t guilty.

#16  Is this a reference to breaking the Japanese code in WW II?

Yeah. The attack on Midway

tl;dr: Station HYPO sent orders to Midway by cable to broadcast a radio message that the island's desalinization plant had broken down. The radio message was broadcast without encryption to ensure that Japan could read it if it was intercepted.

The radio message was duly intercepted by Japan and reported by a message encoded in JN25 stating that AF's desalinization plant was out of order. That message was intercepted by Station HYPO. AF was thus confirmed as Midway.

#15  Of course it will last another year - they have to damage the GOP in the congressional and senate races in 2018.

#13  By the way, I hear AF is out of water.

#11  I’ll think about this when something actually happens — I haven't the energy for rumours..

Indeed. I don't even believe the weather report any more. Still, sometimes these things can be useful from a traffic analysis standpoint - who is talking about what and why are they trying to sell this.

By the way, I hear AF is out of water.

#10  I remember the show the Untouchables. Elliot Ness was FBI and a hero. What is being done by Muller and Clapper has made me start to question the honesty of all the people in Washington and particularly the justice system . COVFEFE

#9  How often are the breathlessly reported rumours about President Trump wrong? I’ll think about this when something actually happens — I haven't the energy for rumours..

#8  The left has pinned their last vestiges of hope on some kind of Mueller indictment. If this is true I hope Pharmacies around the nation are well stocked in anti-depressants.

#6  Such a letter might be a face saving way for Mueller to get himself and the people who put him there out of this mess with a minimum of damage.

This will just encourage the left to drag it out hoping to avoid just such an embarrassment.

#4  So, at this point it's not even smoke. It's someone talking about smoke. Meh.

#3  Who send that email? I can type up an email with all kind of BS and send it in, doesn't mean any of it is true.

I suspect he or one of his assistants might have fabricated this email and send it to himself just so he can report on it. A major clue, look at how many weasel words he used.

#2  Sarcasm or optimism, Besoeker? Because, to be candid, that much optimism coming from you is scary.

#1  DOJ/FBI casualties mounting, no end in sight. Mueller to soon stop digging and move on. Victory letter and Wolf Blitzer interview to follow. Making plans to resume retirement, adopt rescue dog, go Walleye fishing in the Spring. Possibly write fly tying book.
