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.
