Judge Andrew Napolitano Stands by British Surveillance Report in Return to Fox News

Judge Andrew Napolitano spoke on Fox News, Wednesday, making his first appearance on the network after pushing a controversial report in defense of President Trump‘s claims of wiretapping during the 2016 election.

Anchors Bret Baier and Shepard Smith previously said that Fox could not independently confirm the accuracy of Napolitano’s claim that the British intelligence service GCHQ facilitated the wiretapping. During Napolitano’s spot on America’s Newsroom today, Bill Hemmer noted that “you’ve had a few quiet days.”

Hemmer then asked the judge whether he was still confident in the story, to which the Fox judicial analyst said yes.

The American public needs to know more about this rather than less because a lot of the government surveillance authorities will expire in the Fall and there’ll be a great debate on how much authority we want the government to have to surveil us, and the more the American public knows the more informed there and Congress’s decisions will be.

Napolitano has been absent from the network ever since White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer cited his allegations in defense of the president’s claims. The White House was ultimately forced to (sort of) apologize to the United Kingdom after GCHQ called the charge “utterly ridiculous.”

how much authority we want the government to have to surveil us

Wrong question. The right question is how much authority DOES THE CONSTITUTION GIVE the government to surveil us. The answer: NONE!!!!

Folks, we either we get back to the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land and the ONLY legal protection of freedom against the tyranny of the feds or we're toast. Don't wait for the feds to do it. They won't. WE must do it. How?

1) By exercising constitutional state sovereignty. Start electing state officials and governors who have the guts to stand up to the unconstitutional feds and aren't afraid of financial independence from the feds as a result of nullifying and rejecting unconstitutional federal acts.

2) By exercising constitutional power over the feds. Hound-dog the feds, THROW THE BUMS OUT who care more about their own political future than America's future, and elect non-establishment types who are ready, willing, and able to TAKE DOWN the unconstitutional 70-80% portion of the $4 trillion feds.

This is an extremely interesting but long (40 page) piece was written by a technical counterintelligence expert and a former intelligence officer. I saw it posted on Cryptome.org today.

It lays out a compelling case for why Trump was right, he was under surveillance.

The conclusions at the end (page 40) are what really grabbed my attention. Here are the last two:

Conclusions...
9) President Trump claims that President Obama had his wires tapped are legitimate, credible, and viable.
10) It is highly probable that President Obama did in fact violated (sic) the Fourth Amendment and attempted to sabotage the Presidential Campaign of Donald Trump by using the NSA and its various eavesdropping programs.
