During Tuesday's episode of 'The Rush Limbaugh Show,' Limbaugh called Michael Horowitz a 'swampist' ahead of the release of the Inspector General's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election.

"The inspector general is so limited in what he can do. He can't really even compel testimony," he said.

Limbaugh then said that the people Horowitz"talks to" are given"two weeks to look at the report and lobby for changes and edits."After pointing out that the report was due out in May, Limbaugh then said,"There's no reason for it to be delayed. We know what happened, and we know that the investigation into Trump did not start in July of 2016, but that's their story and they're sticking to it.

The Justice Department released a statement Tuesday calling Horowitz' work on the report"excellent" and saying that the report was"a credit" to the department. "Rather than speculating, people should read the report for themselves next week, watch the Inspector General's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and draw their own conclusions about these important matters," spokeswoman Kerri Kupec toldThe Justice Department is running its own criminal investigation into the Russian probe, led by U.S. Attorney John Durham.

Must be bad news for weelittleman trump

This is the very same IG that Trumpsters have been insisting for months was going to expose a giant conspiracy against Trump. Now that he appears to have found no such thing (shocker), they're going to smear him too. It's a one play playbook these folks operate from. TrumpCult

Rush can follow Roger Stone to jail. Next needs to be: Sean Hannity and Alex Jones.

What pills was Rush taking at the time? How many marriages is he on now? Good thing none of the ex-wifes can talk.

Well of course he did. The IG has been a hero right up until he didn't give the Trumpers the result they wanted. They want people marched off to prison, dangit!

They judge everyone, EVERYONE, by what they have to say about Donald Trump. It is no longer only Trump who demands “loyalty.” His swamp demands it also. This is dangerous! Limbaugh TrumpSwamp TrumpLoyalty

allahpundit It hasn’t come out yet...

allahpundit Horowitz has been deeply disappointing. Another Obama holdover. Disgusting

allahpundit Rush is a sad has-been and Newsweek shouldn't promote what he says to a larger audience.

allahpundit Is he still alive?

allahpundit ChainskiBum Sounds like Rush expects the report to be just as you say.

allahpundit

I thought he'd OD already ?

Rush, like Hannity, is no longer relevant. They play to the same base of angry old, red neck, white guys.

Haha don't be a sore loser

Is Limbaugh even relevant anymore? Amazing how people who have nothing to say were opioid addicts and spout nothing but bullshit can find advertisers to support their programming.

Rush is what happens when you put party before country.

And who cares what Rush Limbaugh thinks or says. No one cares. He is yesterdays news!

Limbaugh exposes his true Russian colors.

Screw him.

THE REPORT DIDN'T SAY WHAT THEY WANTED SO THE CRYBABIES ARE WHINING ALREADY.

RushLimbaughEIB are you doing drugs again?

Oh I would LOVE to see this guy investigated

Ah the Republicans are always, always the victims. Genuinely sickening.

Was that before or after he went doctor shopping for his pain pills.

Rush is a pill popper, so...

I would bet these “conservative” talkies know they’re are really starting to look nutty but can’t resist a steady paycheck

that oxy is some good shit

Says the big swamp monster himself!

The GOP has no defense, it's so embarrassing
