Limbaugh: FBI ‘Really Busy' Tracking the Entire Trump Administration Looking for Additional Sexual Harassers
2018-02-16
[Breitbart] Thursday on his nationally syndicated radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh took a shot at the FBI after it was revealed the agency was alerted to suspected Florida shooter as a possible threat.

Limbaugh said the FBI was "busy" tracking members of the Trump administration seeking sexual harassers and therefore had its resources spread thin.

"So he gave them the actual name of the guy who posted the comment ‐ the promise, the threat ‐ to do this, Nikolas Cruz, white Hispanic. And the FBI didn’t do anything with it," he said. "So Bennight here, the guy you heard on the audio, said, ’I don’t know what the FBI has to do to track down real identities. First, they’d call YouTube, and then YouTube would have to divulge the privacy of whoever sent the alerted and all of this,’ but they still had the real name to go on. But, folks, we need to back off the FBI here just a little bit."

"The FBI is really busy right now," Limbaugh continued. "They’re busy, I’m sure, tracking the entire Trump administration looking for additional sexual harassers. I mean, there may be as many as 4,000 of ’em in there they gotta track down. And then they’re still trying to corroborate the Steele dossier. And that’s a worldwide effort. So the FBI has spread its resources here very, very thin, and we’ve gotta keep that in mind."

#17  Ritalin pushers, indeed. Someone remarked how the pharmaceutical industry is being "protected" by our "favorite" media outlets.

They are "protecting" the FBI, too, but that's another story....

#15  When is the FBI going to release the list of drugs these shooters are on? I keep hearing that guns are the problem but there are hundreds of millions of guns but only a handful of mass shootings.

#12  ...btw, have they ever defined and codified 'normal' behavior?

#11  ....the same one's who've normalized gay and transgender behavior. It's all a 'social construct', nothing abnormal about them.

#10  Thanks for the update on that. So that means the mental health professionals are almost entirely to blame then.

#9  The de-institutionalization push came from within the mental health profession, based on an overweening trust in the new medications of the 1960s-‘80s. Ronald Reagan, both as California governor and as president, simply followed the advice of the professionals. It is my understanding that most mental hospitals were state or local institutions, not federal, but I wasn’t paying close attention at the time.

Snopes has preserved an interesting discussion on the subject here.

#8  Personally I believe Reagan de-Federalized the mental health industry and the states barely picked up the ball.

Add to that certain depression meds have nasty side-effects for a very, very, small percentage of patients.

Lastly, we trust FBI background checks which seems to be something they aren't serious about.

The combination is no problem in generally no big deal but in an insignificantly small number we get a mass shooting and we fail to look at any factors besides the guns because one political party wants to get rid of guns.

#7  FBI was notified Jan 5 he was about to attack the school. However the FBI was no longer a law enforcement agency. The Democratic party under Obama converted them into a Deep State organization whos sole purpose was to deny Hillary was committing crimes and to spy on the opponents of the DNC.

#6  We've always had guns but we haven't always mad men committing mass shootings at schools, churches, concerts and bars.

How about society going from rules to feelz, Abu?

#5  Call me a conspiracy theorist if you want but the uptick in incidents like this is highly suspicious and it doesn't have anything to do with the availability of guns either. We've always had guns but we haven't always mad men committing mass shootings at schools, churches, concerts and bars. There must be another common thread or threads. It seems to me that if a kid tells everybody he can possibly tell that he wants to shoot up a school that constitutes a credible threat which in itself is illegal. And yet nobody lifted a finger to stop him. Is that negligence or complicity?

#4  Busy trying to cover-up and trying to discredit and takedown Trump? Is that why they are missing signals in mass shootings and bombings? Looks like DOJ is still riddled with DeepStaters.

#3  Well, they sure didn't have any time for this guy.
