There have been a number of comments here to what the Judge said but can you clarify what you are referring to as a ‘chilling article’? I listened to Napolitano’s comments about CGHQ on Fox and Friends and since Fox hasn’t actually given the comments much time since then, out of curiosity I went his website a few days ago to see if had any update comments. A link on his homepage leads to this article (dated March 16) and from what I can see, there have been no further updates since. http://www.judgenap.com/post/did-obama-spy-on-trump The first hint that the Judge’s comments aren’t all that rock solid is that the title for the article ends in a question mark. Near the bottom of the article is this clip: Sources have told Fox News that the British foreign surveillance service, the Government Communications Headquarters, known as GCHQ, most likely provided Obama with transcripts of Trump's calls. The NSA has given GCHQ full 24/7 access to its computers, so GCHQ -- a foreign intelligence agency that, like the NSA, operates outside our constitutional norms -- has the digital versions of all electronic communications made in America in 2016, including Trump's. So by bypassing all American intelligence services, Obama would have had access to what he wanted with no Obama administration fingerprints.
Is this supposed to be ‘chilling’? Frankly, this statement sounds much less definite than what I heard from the Judge when his statement was live on Fox and Friends….. ‘Sources have told Fox News’ (he doesn’t say they told him personally), ‘most likely provided’ (that sure doesn’t sound definite), ‘NSA has given GCHQ full 24/7 access’ (ok….. so they have the capability), ‘….Obama would have had access to what he wanted’ (fine but there is no comment as far as executing that access).
What the Judge wrote in this article is far more waffling than his live statement. All one can hope is that if surveillance really happened as the Judge has suggested, the sources better be pristine enough that the Judge didn’t need to leave the wiggle room that he obviously has now created for himself. If you have information to the contrary, I’m sure we’re all interested in hearing what it is……

Three words: universal surveillance state. That apparently knows no bounds. Chilling in that the Deep State has the means and the power to target anyone they want. The Obama administration clearly did.
