Nonsense: British Intel Agency GCHQ Responds to Report from Foxs Napolitano Cited by Spicer

Source: Mediaite

Earlier this week, Fox’s Judge Andrew Napolitano reported that three intelligence sources told Fox News that President Obama “went outside the chain of command” and went to the British intelligence agency GCHQ to conduct surveillance on President Trump last year.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer cited Napolitano and a number of other reports from the podium this afternoon.

GCHQ sent the following statement to a number of news outlets tonight:

If the media would have ignored his antics instead of giving him $billions in free advertising during the campaign, we wouldn't be dealing with this lunacy now.

5. I thought the same thing, it was all trump all the time and the media gushed.

It's still trump all the time but the media is not in love with their pick anymore when they started seeing what has been set upon us all. So now, finally, too late they turn their critical lens to the destruction, fear and meanness being unleashed by their Frankenstein. The only difference now is excess exposure is revealing the true Donald trump that cares not one wit about the masses, he counts on them being suckers and wage slaves. Wake up America before it is too late.

claimed that tRump is "great for ratings" To HELL with the people. His wife is on "The Talk" and that stupid show about a group of people living together doing dumb things. So, tRump's ratings likely compensated for his wife's low ratings, no doubt. Joe Schmo and Mika also were thrilled to have tRump phone their show for free advertising. NOW they are claiming that he is bad for the country. WE all knew that from the get go!

4. F**k fox news. This was the same bullshit Bret Baier tried to push a few days before

the election by saying "according to his sources in the FBI an imminent indictment was going to happen against the Clinton Foundation". IT WAS A LIE. Two days later the asshole apologized because he said he made a mistake, but the damage was done then, and other wonderful news agencies had already spewed that LIE when it first came out.

Some of the members in the media were so impressed with baier's apology, but I say bullshit to them, and bullshit to fox news

6. If GCHQ intercepted, it would be from monitoring Russian intelligence.

Not from specific monitoring of Dump and his cabal of criminals.

7. That kind of language from GCHQ indicates to me they're truthful.

If GCHQ were denying it and they were covering things up, the language would be different.

They were interviewing some spokesman for the GCHQ about this. The guy was pretty ticked that their agency had been dragged into this whole mess and stated several times the story was "absolute rubbish."

A word of advice to Mr. Spicer. When you're in a hole, stop digging.
