Fox News: "What if there's no wiretapping-evidence because Obama used british secret agents?"

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/fox-news-analyst-uncorks-wild-new-theory-about-obama-using-u-k-intel-services-to-spy-on-trump/

On Tuesday, Fox News judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano offered a new theory as to why the Trump team is having trouble finding proof for the president’s claims: It’s because Obama used British spy services to snoop on Trump.

“Three intelligence sources have informed Fox News that President Obama went outside the chain of command,” Napolitano told Fox & Friends. “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 alleges, Obama relied on British intel agency GCHQ, which he notes has access to the American National Security Agency’s database.




--------------

They are so stupid. It wasn't british agents.
Obama was a good friend of Angela Merkel, so it was german agents.
And aliens.
And lizard-people.
And Obama's fellows from the Muslim Brotherhood and the Black Panther Party.

all he has to do is say Joe Blank is guilty of treason, and that is all we will hear about, even if he made it up out of thin air which he did here and does daily.

This is our fault, on election day we voted 3rd party or not at all. We didnt do our job and now this country is going to suffer and expire.

And besides, everybody knows it was

Obama - according to what I've heard - has an underground bunker filled with thousands of tiny television screens with live audio and video from all Trump residences and office buildings. Sad.

What if someone who happens to be in the know of sensitive material on Trump and wanted that material to be distrusted and brushed off as politically motivated, actually fed that info to Napolitano? I don't think that's too far fetched, especially considering how aggressive the Trump folks have been about discrediting the CIA and other intelligence agencies. This reeks of a calculated strike to tarnish the evidence.

10. "Fox News judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano".......

Here is what you need to know about this so-called "judicial analyst"

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/10-reasons-to-be-worried-that-andrew-napolitano-is-advising-donald-trump-on-supreme-court-nominations/

Napolitano has:

Said, regarding the right to vote, that “the Supreme Court has wrongly said it’s a fundamental right.”

Likened Roe v. Wade to slavery and the Holocaust.

Told conspiracy theorist Alex Jones that the September 11 attacks “couldn’t possibly have been done the way the government told us.”

Argued that the Constitution “does not authorize the federal government” to own land.

Claimed that euthanasia was included in the “contraceptive services” coverage mandated under the Affordable Care Act.

Urged Republicans in Congress to impeach President Obama.

Stated that “more guns equals less crime” and claimed that Obama was trying to ban guns.

Criticized Abraham Lincoln for his role in the Civil War, lamenting that Lincoln launched a “murderous war” instead of simply buying the freedom of every enslaved person, and insisting that the South actually seceded over tariffs.

Pushed the debunked conspiracy theory that Google suppressed “the bad stuff” about Hillary Clinton.

Suggested that the Obama administration was bent on creating a one-world government with total control.

I was 3. She no doubt smiled lovingly, and accompanied me into the back yard to verify that it was not true ... that it was just a figment of my exceedingly active imagination.

These Fox people are not 3 years old.

They can't use "exceedingly active imagination" as an excuse ....

19. Pay attention, people--this is classic Fox Noise propaganda
Tue Mar 14, 2017, 02:30 PM

"Many people are asking....."

No, no one is asking. Fox is trying to make people ask a question that has occurred to exactly nobody.

Classic propaganda: Remove the two relevant questions by asking other questions that use Fox Lies as their premise. They thus move beyond the questions that people should be asking Fox, and prompt them to ask meaningless questions predicated upon Fox's lies being fact.

The obvious question "WHO is asking?" is therefore answered from the start. "Many people." Don't ask who the many people are. You are a libbrul agitator if you ask that. Like at the end of the first Indian Jones film: "Top men."

Then Fox asks the BS question, "if Obama didn't use American services to spy on the Trump campaign, then who DID he use? The British? Someone else?" See how easy it is? Fox removes the question of whether Obama did any such thing at all by asking another question that assumes their first false premise is correct. It's like asking someone if they murdered their mother by shooting her or strangling her--the question of whether or not they harmed their mother at all is thus already answered in the affirmative--by the one asking the questions. Say, "I never hurt my mother at all," and you get immediately shouted down with "don't change the subject!"

It's simple, and it works. It shouldn't, being so obvious, but then consider the average education level of Foxsuckers. Once you do that, you get the added bonus of insight as to why the Republicans are so against education.

So Obama wire tapped Trump with the help of James Bond as the CIA planted
information into the DNC and HRC's computer to make it look like the Russian were into those
computers because that would make Trump look bad?

When the facts don't align with the ideological purity of the magical thinkers..........well the next step is always a larger and more complicated conspiracy.......

Donnie did not have a very good turn out for his inauguration....well it can't be that he is not best loved President ever!

It must be a plot!

Donnie lost the popular vote by the widest margin ever........well that can't be.

It must be a plot of a liberal cabal of 3 million illegal voters and all those people are keeping it a secret. The state government's are involved too, they are covering it up. And bus companies are driving thousands into the NE. And illegals sneak across the border to vote for Dems!
