RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

RICE: "On that Uranium One story, you have Donald Trump himself apparently personally intervening to try to advance that story and having the gag order lifted on a federal informant related. There's an undercover anybody anybody informant used to gain influence in the U.S. Uranium industry. The department of justice under sessions saying they would allow that informant to testimony fi in front of Congress what does it say to you that you have Donald Trump himself intervening to make that happen."
KENDZIOR: "I think this propaganda blitz they're doing to try to smear and slander political opponents was completely predictable. You could have traced this by watching the right-wing media activity that preceded it before the story became big. The story is nothing. It's been debunked a long time ago. Two reasons it came out. One, they anticipated the charges that Mueller brought and are trying to shift the narrative so that Hillary and others in the Democratic Party are painted as the real Russian interference collaborators, as if somehow she would collaborate with Russia in order to lose the election. There's something worse going on. He's trying to feed his base. Trying to set up prosecution and persecution of people who he dislikes. He was not able to deliver. There's no wall. Still Obama care. So he's shooting for lock her up. I'm worried this lock her up will extend beyond Clinton to any opponent. Last week he was targeting a grieving widow. There's no limits to what this administration would do. So I think even though it's become obvious this propaganda blitz was due in part to draw attention away from what Mueller D we need to watch it in the weeks to come. This is an autocratic administration. I don't think they'll stop with these baseless smears and these attempts."
