WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh October 16th 2017

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I have a swamp story for you, which could only

0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:06.200
<v Speaker 1>happen in the swamp. According to Roll Call, the U. S.

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia announced last week

0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>that a congressional staffer faces a five year stretch in

0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:17.720
<v Speaker 1>prison for falsifying a security clearance form. Isaac Avant has

0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>been serving as chief of staff from Mississippi Congressman Benny Thompson,

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 1>highest ranking Democrat in the House Committee for Homeland Security. Mr.

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Avant has been staff director for that committee during the week.

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>On weekends he had to go to jail. Now. That's

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>because last January he was convicted of failing to file

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 1>federal income tax returns. He was senced to four months

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 1>in jail and find one fifty thousand dollars, but being

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>a high ranking figure in the Washington establishment, he was

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>allowed to serve his time on weekends. Now, apparently Mr

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Avant failed to mention any of this on his security

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>clearance form for the Homeland Security Committee, so again he

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 1>faces charges. This time he could get five years behind

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>bars if convicted, and there's no talk about doing time

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>on weekends. Now. For a while, nobody, including Roll Call,

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>could find out if he still works for the Democrat congressman.

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Or if he had been terminated, well we now know

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>he still has his job. And that, my friends, is

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 1>how they roll in the swamp. Jail, what jail not

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>for me,
