The Obama White House may be behind the "drip, drip, drip" of negative stories being released about Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton because he doesn't want her to win and step on his legacy, says talk radio host
Rush Limbaugh.
"I'm convinced that Obama doesn't want her messing with his legacy," Limbaugh said on Wednesday's show.
"Here's Obama, two years left. In his mind there's been no greater president," Limbaugh said.
"Look at all the firsts. Health care? People tried for 200 years and he got it. He stopped Iran from getting a nuke. (I know that's not what happened. That's the news, though. He did it.) He got us out of Iraq. (All lies. But that's the legacy. The media will write it for him.) What if Hillary comes along and does an even better job? He's not gonna permit that chance to happen."
Clinton is now trailing socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire, and a Democratic pollster released news on Tuesday that she trails four Republicans in Iowa.
On top of that, news that Obama's own Federal Bureau of Investigation
has reportedly taken possession of the private email server Clinton used during her tenure as secretary of state. They might well decline to prosecute her, Limbaugh said, but just having an investigation about her server during her White House run will be damaging.
When a caller suggested the administration might just go through the motions of investigating her, but actually do nothing, Limbaugh pointed out that liberals are the ones releasing all the bad news.
"It's the liberals who've told us what was on Hillary's server. It's the liberals in the regime, who've proven Hillary lied, and yet now the theory is it's liberals trying to save her," he said.
"We wouldn't be here if liberals hadn't spilled the beans on this woman and her server in the first place."
