The information about the six spies on the Trump campaign must be coming from somewhere. Solomon isn't making it up and it is extremely important. I suspect Trump himself, or someone close to Trump is now able to put the pieces together and have a cohesive whole. Remember, and Rush talked about this, the spying on him started before he was a candidate. In fact some of it started before he announced, as Trump now knows.
So how did the CIA/DOJ/FBI (and others) target Trump with opposition research so early? Actually, I believe he wasn't the only one targeted, but eventually he was the main target. Remember back in 1996? This from Wikipedia: "The White House FBI files controversy of the Clinton Administration, often referred to as Filegate, arose in June 1996 around improper access in 1993 and 1994 to FBI security-clearance documents. Craig Livingstone, director of the White House's Office of Personnel Security, improperly requested, and received from the FBI, background reports concerning several hundred individuals without asking permission." That was Hillary's gig.
There were over 900 files on Republicans, mostly office holders. They were being used by the Clintons as a threat against those Republicans. Does anyone think that went away? No, in fact it has expanded. Want to know why your Republican representative is so gutless? Here is your answer. As an aside, my friend, the late Tony Blankley, who at the time was press spokesman for Newt Gingrich, said he was surprised his file was there as he wasn't an elected official. - 12/4/18, 12:21 PM

What would Whitey Bulger have to say about the FBI?

Rush has this pretty right IMHO, but there's one slip he repeated twice: as an Australian connection he mentioned John Howard, but the person was actually Alexander Downer. Howard was Prime Minister of Australia until 2007.
Alexander Downer was High Commissioner to the UK from 2014 to 2018 & had his fingers in lots of dirty deals, e.g. he's the guy who gave A$25 Million to the Clinton Crime Foundation, and he's the guy who met Papadoupolous in a bar & traded secrets over drinks to get the ball rolling on this Trump "investigation." He's well known for gaffes, sorta like Joe Biden! (Though as far as I know he's not a pedophile, just a loose cannon.)
Howard was a pretty good PM, he was a bit right-of-center (Australia generally is way Left of the USA) and in my book his only bad spot, which was a doozy, is that he's the guy who put through the Gun "Buyback" which caused crime to skyrocket in Oz, and also led to a lot of new creative statistics so that can't easily be proven.
Many say there hasn't been a mass killing since then, which isn't actually true, though nothing like the Port Arthur Massacre has happened; but then, nothing like that had happened before, either. - 12/4/18, 12:48 PM

Eskyman, you killed two birds with one stone. It was Downer, not Howard. And he was High Commissioner, not Ambassador. Virtually every one who talks about him calls him Ambassador. Australia doesn't have an Ambassador to Britain, or need one. Still, considering his high position, it's flat amazing he got involved in the attempted coup/plot against Trump.

Australian crime did NOT skyrocket in Australia after the buyback. Guns are largely irrelevant in Australian crime. If the US gun murder rate was the same as the Australian gun murder rate, you would have less than 400 gun murders per annum, not the 13,000 reported by the US CDC.
Most of the 30-40 gun murders that happen here each year are professional criminals taking out the competition. Also, beware of those talking percentages - the normal range of +-5 gives a percentage variation around 20%. - 12/5/18, 2:58 AM

Hey, I'm flattered! An certain Mr. Anonymous from Nowhere has "corrected" me, using figures he ̶p̶u̶l̶l̶e̶d̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶t̶ made up all by himself- or was it the liars at Snopes? They're well known for their creative way of ̶f̶i̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ creating "facts."
As Mark Twain warned us, there are "lies, damned lies and statistics." Also, "a lie goes around the world before the truth gets its boots on."

@Eskyman:
Dude, I sure hope your argument is based on more than the seriously flawed article you link. First, "[P]rofessor Philip Alpers of the University of Sydney," the sole authoritative source quoted in the article shows himself to be a gun grabber of the first order because he also wants to go after ammunition:
[excerpt]"Gun enthusiasts are quite right when they say guns don’t kill–it’s the bullets that kill," Professor Alpers added. "For many years we just focused on the guns and ignored the ammunition that was lying around–now people are starting to realise that ammunition control is just as important."[/excerpt]
If Australian gun owners are stupid enough to put up such a specious argument, they deserve what they get. I, for one, have thousands of mostly wad cutter rounds for my handguns "lying around", and not one of them has gone out and killed anyone. Despite Alpers' lunatic position, it remains a People Problem.
I have to question whether you read the article or just grabbed the headline because it seemed related to the topic at hand. --General Petty Officer Fifth Class Skyhawker Doug - 12/6/18, 1:41 PM

@Gen.P.O.5thC.Skyhawker Doug, please let me explain further.
The false statement from Anonymous that I was addressing is "Australian crime did NOT skyrocket in Australia after the buyback." The gun ban DID increase crime in Australia, as that article points out, which is why I linked it; I'd have preferred an article talking about how ordinary crime skyrocketed, not just "gun crime" because most criminals then and now don't use a gun in Oz, that much Anon above got right, but across the board crime went up drastically: muggings, home robberies, store robberies, etc.
The article specifically states: "Australia has seen a rise in gun crime over the past decade despite imposing an outright ban on many firearms in the late 1990s." Then a little further along it gets even more specific: "...gun crimes have spiked dramatically in the Australian states of Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, and Tasmania. In Victoria, pistol-related offenses doubled over the last decade. In New South Wales, they tripled. The other states saw smaller but still significant increases." The authoritive source is "an analysis of government statistics conducted by The New Daily," not egghead academics.
From personal experience, because I was living there at that time, I can state that this increase in crime happened in Western Australia too, as common sense would indicate. (Less guns = more crime as Dr. Lott would say.)
You are quite correct: the gungrabbers mentioned in that article are bull goose loonies of the academic variety, who personally believe all kinds of idiotic things that have no basis in fact and are unreasonable on their face; but I wasn't addressing any other arguments than the one brought up, and I certainly wasn't endorsing any of that foolishness or using them as "authoritive sources!"
Perhaps you should follow your own advice: read the article before sounding off.

Well, I did read the article but the lunacy uttered by Alpers overwhelmed my brain and erased the first four paragraphs from memory. Or maybe it's FBS (Full brain syndrome). Regardless, we're on the same side and I didn't/don't disagree with anything you wrote. -- General Petty Officer Fifth Class Skyhawker Doug
