Limbaugh: Russia Probe About ‘Setting Trump up for Impeachment’ If Dems Win in 2018

WALLACE: Now, I want to emphasize that there is no evidence — and the deputy attorney general made it clear, no evidence of any collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians. But doesn’t this indictment disprove what Mr. Trump has been saying all along, that any talk about the Russians is a hoax and that the special counsel investigation is a witch hunt?

LIMBAUGH: I would be very careful if I were President Trump here. You know, this is just one of many different areas the special counsel is investigating. And without getting into details of this, because I think this is — everybody’s trying to affect the outcome of elections, Chris, and everybody’s poisoning the Internet. Everybody’s doing it. Both parties. Insane, lunatic individuals. The Russians are pikers (ph), actually, compared to Americans doing this. The problem is that it’s illegal for them to do it.

The danger for the president is, it would be very, I think, seductive for him to embrace this. Total embrace — say, see, see, I’ve been vindicated! The worst thing he could do in his — in his world is to validate this whole investigation by claiming victory here because what if down the road there is another indictment or series of indictments that do name Trump or do name the Russians and Trump campaign colluding, because that’s what this is about.

This is about getting Trump, Chris. This whole thing is about setting Trump up for impeachment if the Democrats win in 2018. This — Donald Trump remains in the crosshairs. He is the target. And there is no let-up in that.

WALLACE: Well, let me — let me —

LIMBAUGH: No matter what the indictment does or doesn’t say.
