CALLER: The point I wanted to bring up is I think the FBI is no longer a law enforcement agency but is now driven by ideology. And my reasoning is -- are you still there?
RUSH LIMBAUGH (HOST): Yeah, I'm here. I'm listening.
CALLER: OK. And my reasoning is that of course this leak comes out about this obstruction of justice the same day there's a shooting of a Republican congressman. FBI hasn't a clue as to what could possibly be the motive behind that, just like a while back you had a skit where there was these Muslim individuals with Muslim names, and of course they couldn't figure out why anything happened there. I think that was a couple years ago. And also now Comey's buddy is there. They don't want to investigate any leaks. They don't want to prosecute [Hillary] Clinton. They don't want to prosecute [former Attorney General Loretta] Lynch. All these things just make them complicit in the effort to destroy [President Donald] Trump.
LIMBAUGH: I've thought about this business of not investigating the leaks, and it finally hit me that one of the reasons why -- Comey was never interested in investigating it. And I know it frustrated Trump because that's where real felonies have taken place. Leaking this kind of data and information, even if they're making it up, is felonious. That's where real crimes have taken place, and we now know there were no real crimes of collusion, but what if the reason it wasn't pursued is because Comey was one of them.
CALLER: Also Comey is going to surround himself with other ideologues.
LIMBAUGH: That's hard not to do in Washington these days, unfortunately. But, look, I get your point. We have this image of the FBI. It's part of the justice system, and the hope is that people working in there are able to set aside ideological preferences on personal policy and simply focus on facts. Now that's -- we expect journalists to do it too, but I frankly think it's impossible if you're really, really wound up and care about things, but justice is a whole different thing because there's the rule of law you're dealing with here plus statutory law that's quite clear in many cases whether a crime's been committed or not, but burden of proof always on the prosecution, people making charges. And you're right. People are beginning to doubt the legitimacy. Some people that used to work at the FBI are too. People that I know, used to work at the FBI, were the kind of people you're talking about, and they're concerned.
