RUSH LIMBAUGH (HOST): It was announced by the attorney general that his investigator — the attorney looking into the coup run against you — will not have any announcements, any results, any — before the election. This is disappointing, I cannot tell you.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: When was this announced, Rush?

LIMBAUGH: I think I've got the story here in the stack, I thought it was —

TRUMP: I think it's terrible —

LIMBAUGH: Fairly recently that —

TRUMP: I think it's terrible.

LIMBAUGH: Well, it is, because these are people, this is the biggest political scandal in the history of this country, certainly our lifetimes.

TRUMP: If that's the case, I'm very disappointed. I think it's a terrible thing. And I'll say it to his face.

LIMBAUGH: Here it is, “Barr tells Republicans Durham report will not be ready by election.” It came out today.

TRUMP: That's a disgrace. I think it's a disgrace, it's an embarrassment.

LIMBAUGH: Well, I don't have the words to express my anger. I mean, I'm not saying I'm surprised. I'm angry.

TRUMP: I've had to go through it twice now, with elections. And yet, they have — see, this is what I mean with the Republicans, they don't play the tough game. They don't play the tough game. If this were the other side, you would've had 25 people in jail for the rest of their lives with what we found.

LIMBAUGH: Oh, if you'd tried something like this against any of them? Heck, yes.

LIMBAUGH: This is Axios, by the way, is the news source. And they say that Barr is communicating that his investor Durham “is taking his investigation very seriously, and is focused on winning prosecutions,” which I guess we're to expect, not scoring points in the media.

TRUMP: Let's let everybody get elected to office, and then let's worry about it. First of all, if we don't win this election, that whole thing's going to end, OK? And you just remember that.

LIMBAUGH: As will —

TRUMP: That's another thing I'm fighting for, because these people have to be brought to justice. But they should've been brought to justice before the election. But if we don't win this election, if we don't win, that whole thing is going to be dismissed.
