FOX News'
Judge Andrew Napolitano is now accusing our closest ally of conspiring with Obama to tap Trump's phones, and WH Press Secretary Sean Spicer echoed Napolitano's accusations in today's WH press briefing.
Judge Napolitano: Obama 'Went Outside Chain of Command,' Used British Spy Agency to Surveil Trump
On "Fox & Friends" this morning (3-14) Judge Andrew Napolitano said that even if the Obama administration did spy on Trump, there may never be a way to prove it.
He explained that the statutes allow the president to order the surveillance of any person in the U.S., without suspicion, probable cause or a warrant, but that would leave "fingerprints."
In this case, the alleged surveillance was reportedly ordered in a way that left no record, he said.
"Three intelligence sources have informed Fox News that President Obama went outside the chain of command," Napolitano said. "He didn't use the NSA, he didn't use the CIA, he didn't use the FBI, and he didn't use the Department of Justice."
Instead, Napolitano said, Obama used GCHQ, a British intelligence and security organization that has 24-7 access to the NSA database.
"There's no American fingerprints on this," Napolitano said. "What happened to the guy who ordered this? Resigned three days after Donald Trump was inaugurated."
In a statement to Fox News, a UK government spokesperson responded, saying that "no part of this story is true."
British intelligence slaps down Trump spying claim.
GCHQ says surveillance allegations repeated by White House are ‘nonsense.'
British intelligence officials angrily slapped down claims that President Donald Trump had been under surveillance by GCHQ during his election campaign, after they were repeated by the White House.
The UK’s usually tight-lipped electronic intelligence agency broke with its convention of not formally commenting on intelligence matters after Sean Spicer, Mr Trump’s press secretary, repeated the claims of a Fox News analyst that Barack Obama, the former president, had used GCHQ to do his dirty work.
“There’s no question that there were surveillance techniques used,” Mr Spicer said from the White House briefing room podium as he read aloud a series of media reports, which he argued backed up the president’s claims.
Seriously?
How far are Trump defenders willing to take this ****?
They are now even willing to piss off our closest ally in the world, because the POTUS is incapable of ever admitting that he is wrong about anything?
When some pinhead on FOX News says it, that's one thing, but when it comes from the White House, that's on a whole other level.
