"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."

NONONO….OBAMA is the “bad, sick guy!!!” I didn’t sleep enough last night….so sorry for this egregious error.
I have a feeling that Trump already knows. He wouldn't have made that tweet if he didn't already have the goods.
If this is true, then TRUMP as President can unveil this. ...... hmmmmm, I wonder if that’s why TRUMP “asked the Congress to investigate”, thereby making Congress ASK for the proof, instead of TRUMP disclosing it out of his own volition,
Wow. Talk about sleazy politics.
Very good point, as in the dossier they cooked up in Britain.
Don’t get me wrong, prosecution sounds wonderful. But how about going after the ***financing***of Obama’s shadow government first? CAN WE HAVE AN AUDIT PLEASE?
Was he Vince Fostered?
My first thought—golden showers.
Judge Nap has made many predictions. I don’t recall any that came true.
I’m not keeping score, but it seems the Judge is right as often as he is wrong.
Wonder if Comey, Trump or the Trump DOJ knows or will know about this?
More likely Brennan, who would have the intelligence contacts.
More likely Brennan, who would have the intelligence contacts.
Of course. But hey, the #fakenews outlets like CNN, The Hill, and ABC are insisting Trump has no evidence.
Hacks. Liberal #fakenews hacks.
It’s not because of the evidence, it’s because of the seriousness of the charge that calls for an investigation.
I have been posting about 5 eyes, echelon and this program, MUSCULAR for about a month.
“It couldn’t possibly be true, because that is not how our system works,” Pelosi said during a Christian Science Monitor breakfast in Washington.
“We do not investigate, through a FISA court, Americans — here or abroad.”
Well, Nancy how about this:
MUSCULAR (surveillance program)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MUSCULAR (DS-200B), located in the United Kingdom,[1] is the name of a surveillance programme jointly operated by Britain’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) that was revealed by documents which were released by Edward Snowden and interviews with knowledgeable officials.
[2] GCHQ is the primary operator of the program.[1]GCHQ and the National Security Agency have secretly broken into the main communications links that connect the data centers of Yahoo! and Google.[3]Substantive information about the program was made public at the end of October 2013.

Overview:
The programme is jointly run by:
– Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) (United Kingdom)
– U.S. National Security Agency (NSA)
MUSCULAR is one of at least four other similar programs that rely on a trusted 2nd party, programs which together are known as WINDSTOP. In a 30-day period from December 2012 to January 2013, MUSCULAR was responsible for collecting 181 million records. It was however dwarfed by another WINDSTOP program known (insofar) only by its code DS-300 and codename INCENSER, which collected over 14 billion records in the same period.[4]
Operational details[edit]
According to the leaked document the NSA’s acquisitions directorate sends millions of records every day from internal Yahoo! and Google networks to data warehouses at the agency’s headquarters at Fort Meade, Maryland. The programme operates via an access point known as DS-200B, which is outside the United States, and it relies on an unnamed telecommunications operator to provide secret access for the NSA and the GCHQ.[3]
According to the Washington Post, the MUSCULAR program collects more than twice as many data points (“selectors” in NSA jargon) compared to the better known PRISM.[2] Unlike PRISM, the MUSCULAR program requires no (FISA or other type of) warrants.
Because of the huge amount of data involved, MUSCULAR has presented a special challenge to NSA’s Special Source Operations. For example, when Yahoo! decided to migrate a large amount of mailboxes between its data centers, the NSA’s PINWALE database (their primary analytical database for the Internet) was quickly overwhelmed with the data coming from MUSCULAR.[5]
Closely related programmes are called INCENSER and TURMOIL. TURMOIL, belonging to the NSA, is a system for processing the data collected from MUSCULAR.[1]
According to a post-it style note from the presentation, the exploitation relied on the fact that (at the time at least) data was transmitted unencrypted inside Google’s private cloud, with “Google Front End Servers” stripping and respectively adding back SSL from/to external connections. According to the Washington Post: “Two engineers with close ties to Google exploded in profanity when they saw the drawing.” After the information about MUSCULAR was published by the press, Google announced that it was working on deploying encrypted communication between its datacenters.[2]
