My searches today are “biased” by Google pimping the “Faux News is craaaaazy” (it’s okay for leftists to allege fake news) as I try to find out....

The UK’s MI-5 and MI-6 are past-masters in the art of lying to the public. You create a spy agency which is devoted to hiding the truth and you can never really depend on what its leaders say — e.g., Clapper testimony.

Thanks for saving me a search. Well done. I remember this very well and am therefore, not surprised that the Obama administration may have tapped the Trump Campaign.
