Napolitano: ‘Three intelligence sources’ say Obama used British intel service to spy on Trump
The Blaze ^ | Mar 14, 2017 | Tré Goins-Phillips

Posted on 04/04/2017 11:15:07 AM PDT by Ray76

During a Tuesday morning appearance on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends,” Napolitano, a former New Jersey Superior Court judge, made the bombshell claim that “three intelligence sources” told the network that Obama used GCHQ, a British intel agency, to spy on the Trump campaign in order to avoid any record of the alleged wiretapping.

“Three intelligence sources have informed Fox News that President Obama went outside the chain of command. 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,” Napolitano said. “He used GCHQ.”

According to the Fox analyst, GCHQ has “24-hour access” to the NSA’s database.

“So by simply having two people go to them saying, ‘President Obama needs transcripts of conversations involving candidate Trump, conversations involving President-elect Trump,’ he’s able to get it,” Napolitano told host Brian Kilmeade. “And there’s no American fingerprints on this.”

Napolitano said the individual who actually ordered the alleged surveillance under Obama’s direction “resigned three days after Donald Trump was inaugurated.”

The judge, it should be pointed out, offered no evidence to back up his accusations. And in a statement Tuesday afternoon, a spokesperson for the British government rejected the validity of Napolitano’s accusations.

"Because the UK has a mutual legal assistance treaty with America, GCHQ can make an application through the US department of justice, which will make the approach on its behalf." - The Guardian (UK) - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3538130/posts

Then conversely, DOJ can apply to GCHQ.

Did Atny Gen Lynch request records from GCHQ?

It sounds like the ‘RATS colluded with the Brits to steal the election.

Isn’t this old news, and didn’t the Brits say it was BS? Why is it being repeated here? Is there something new to report?

“Spicer said Trump “doesn’t really think” Obama “tapped his phone personally.”

That must have been the outrageous slant that Comey used to deny surveillance on Trump. You want to talk about parsing words, this must hold and all-time world record.

Why? Because it shows that what Napolitano claims, is in fact possible.

I trust the Brits in this case as much as I trust Susan Rice saying the unmasking story about her is BS. What do you expect a guilty party to say?

And the Brits are truly stupid to comply.

How much did the Brit get paid and what did he do with the money?

Just how did he spit in “England’s eye”? He was against Brexit and went there personally to lobby against it!

Perhaps just some brits, elements sympathetic to
the Obama administration’s goals. This should be
a scandal for their government too.

Brennan wanted to stay on until three days after the inauguration — over the weekend — but was forced to resign the day of inauguration.

Are you a troll? Most knowledgeable people here and elsewhere know Obamalini hated the Brits. Do some simple research. There have been plenty of articles and even a book or two dealing with this. Think “Kenya” and “colonialism”.

Trump needs to tie any trade deal with them to information on this.
