Murdoch's UK tabloid says the Brit Spy Lie Trump lifted from Fox News actually came from a Russian fake news site.

Russia is ‘behind’ the White House’s wild claim that GCHQ tapped Donald Trump’s office, say top spies

Mr Trump's press secretary made the accusation at a briefing but the spy agency has blasted the claims as untrue

THE Kremlin was behind the White House’s wild claim that GCHQ spied on Donald Trump, spymasters believe.

An investigation by the Cheltenham-based eavesdropping agency has discovered the accusation was initially made by a Russian fake news blog.

Putin after learning Trump swallowed the fake Brit Spy Lie hook, line and sinker.

2. I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

We have an absolute dolt of a "President" who is so paranoid and insular that he only trusts his inner circle and, despite having the intellegence community at his finger tips, pushed a "fake news" story hatched by Russians!!! You can't make this shit up!

7. It's all part of Pootie's plan.

drumpf is such an idiot, he goes right along with it, never figuring out that all he is is Putin's puppet. Putin doesn't admire don the criminal con, he laughs at him as he's using him to destroy America in reality and in the eyes of the world as well.

12. So now the entire world knows that Fox News is the original and undisputed Fake News of the world;

Russia is just a bunch of amateurs by comparison.

"...A formal apology for it came overnight via Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor H R McMaster to his opposite number in No10, the PM’s security chief Sir Mark Lyall Grant. Press secretary Sean Spicer made the claim after hearing it on Fox News. ... Mr Spicer also rang Britain’s Ambassador in Washington DC Sir Kim Darroch yesterday to promise him the allegation would not be repeated. ..."

How many more times will McMaster and Spicer have to apologize for the Dump.

"...Branding the claim “complete and utter nonsense”, a furious GCHQ spokesman said late on Thursday night: “Recent allegations made by media commentator Judge Andrew Napolitano about GCHQ being asked to conduct ‘wire tapping’ against the then President elect are nonsense...
“They are utterly ridiculous and should be ignored. ...”

So if a so-called Judge is the source for passing on 'fake news', can we hereto refer to him as a "Con"?

13. The Sun is not believable, but it is funny that NO ONE wants the blame for this

not the President, who tweeted it, not his press secretary, not even the CT nut Larry Johnson! It is hilarious to see the administration point to Fox. The question is whether they will fire their judge who reported it --- or try to throw the hot potato to someone else.

This already is highly damaging to Trump. He accused the esteemed, well liked former President, respected around the world, of a serious crime and then when asked to proof it mumbled that Fox told him ... even though the source referenced by Fox was beyond sketchy. Even a poster on a message board would be criticized -- and he is the President with 17 intelligence agencies (or more) to call upon before making such a flamboyant comment.
