The Mueller Report brought to light how Mr Trump asked US intelligence agency heads to help him deny the links between his campaign and figures linked to the Russian government. A request they found shocking.
Despite bashing them in public, Trump called on US spy chiefs for help as the Russia probe began
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two months before special counsel Robert Mueller was appointed in the spring of 2017, President Donald Trump picked up the phone and called the head of the largest US intelligence agency.
Trump told Mike Rogers, director of the National Security Agency, that news stories alleging that Trump's 2016 White House campaign had ties to Russia were false and the president asked whether Rogers could do anything to counter them.
Rogers and his deputy Richard Ledgett, who was present for the call, were taken aback.
Afterward, Ledgett wrote a memo about the conversation and Trump's request. He and Rogers signed it and stashed it in a safe. Ledgett said it was the "most unusual thing he had experienced in 40 years of government service."
Mr Trump’s golf partner and AM Radio media sycophant Rush Limbaugh was back to work today lying to the gullible for a living.
The Coup Against Our President Isn’t Over
They may say they’re Americans, and they may claim like Comey and all these people that they are acting out of patriotic interest. They were not. They were acting above and outside the U.S. Constitution
Those awful fake patriots!
They had to resort to planting evidence, trying to plant evidence, creating people to act as Russian agents in the Trump campaign, who ultimately were not hired.
Their dastardly plan unfolds for Rush’s horrified listeners.
So we’re supposed to be appalled that Donald Trump called the NSA and then Mike Pompeo and asked if they could announce that the intelligence agencies had not found any evidence of any collusion. What would you do? This is not obstruction! Because Trump is asking them to clarify that all of this is bogus! He knows it’s bogus.
Yes! As supreme dictator of America, what would you do?
James Comey? John Brennan? James Clapper? Barack Obama? Andrew McCabe? Peter Strzok Smirk? Lisa Page? James Baker? Bill Priestap? The Ohrs, Bruce and Nellie? These people? Hillary Clinton? Glenn Simpson and the law firm of Perkins Coie? These people decided to that Donald Trump was unacceptable.
All of those nasty Americans teaming up to get poor innocent Donald Trump?
They simply couldn’t allow it to happen. Do you realize this is…? We came as close as a whisker to having the Constitution used essentially as toilet paper, and it’s still scary to me how close they came. It’s why I posed the question today: Why didn’t Mueller just go ahead and pull the trigger and say it and be done with it? That’s what they set out to do. So these people need to be found. They need to be named.
They need to be named Joe McCarthy style huh?
They need to have to explain to the American people everything they did. They need to go to jail, they need to be held to public ridicule, and they need to be pointed to as the real threats to this country, because they are. They were and they are — and they’re not through.
Rush wants retribution!
So Trump is obstructing not justice. Trump is obstructing the administrative state. And Trump obstructing the administrative state is now what obstructing justice is, except it isn’t.

Apparently ‘the administrative state’ is what Limbaugh calls the Rule of Law.
