Spicer causes international incident trying to defend Trump's wiretapping LIE...

[ShoelessRye]

The US has made a formal apology to Britain after the White House accused GCHQ of helping Barack Obama spy on Donald Trump in the White House.

Sean Spicer, Mr Trump's press secretary, repeated a claim on Thursday evening – initially made by an analyst on Fox News - that GCHQ was used by Mr Obama to spy on Trump Tower in the lead-up to last November's election.

The comments prompted a furious response from GCHQ, which in a break from normal practice issued a public statement: "Recent allegations made by media commentator Judge Andrew Napolitano about GCHQ being asked to conduct 'wiretapping' against the then president-elect are nonsense. They are utterly ridiculous and should be ignored."

Intelligence sources told The Telegraph that both Mr Spicer and General McMaster, the US National Security Adviser, have apologised over the claims. "The apology came direct from them," a source said.

General McMaster contacted Sir Mark Lyall Grant, the Prime Minister's National Security adviser, to apologise for the comments. Mr Spicer conveyed his apology through Sir Kim Darroch, Britain's US ambassador.

Mr Spicer had earlier repeated claims that Barack Obama used GCHQ to spy on Mr Trump before he became president.

"He’s able to get it and there’s no American fingerprints on it," Mr Spicer said of the intelligence supposedly provided to Mr Obama by Britain.

"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 - he used GCHQ."

Mrs May's official spokesman said the White House has assured the Government that allegations that British intelligence services spied on Donald Trump will not be repeated.

The Government "made clear" to the US that the "ridiculous" claims should be ignored and received assurances in return that they will not be repeated, showing that the administration does not give them any credence, Mrs May's spokesman said.

Tim Farron, the Liberal Democrat leader, described Mr Spicer's comments as "shameful".

"Trump is compromising the vital UK-US security relationship to try to cover his own embarrassment," he said. "This harms our and US security."

Desperation in Spicer's ranting and raving defense of wiretapping claim caused him to quote Andrew Napolitano's CT garbage during his presser, giving WH creedence to his baseless claims and smearing the CGHQ in order to defend Trump.

Most modern presidents are an embarrassment in one way or another. Trump will be no different. Think about it, when was the last time we had a true non-embarrassing president? It certainly wasn't Obama, the Bush family, or Clinton, Carter was a peanut farmer, Ford was unmemorable. Maybe JFK? Both sides produce presidents that just suck. Its really hard to get one that does everything right, in fact almost impossible.

He's not lying. Believe me.

I cannot wait for the evidence just to shut you leftists up.

There were only a couple few moments where I felt embarrassed by something Obama said, "Oof, no...". In eight years.
This year one is gonna be long and hard to watch.
Christ almighty, he's coming out the gate with fantasy lies not even his own party will back him on.

 

[Hit-N-Run]

I'm surprised anyone takes the tweets of our lunatic president seriously. Give it a few months of completely stupid and insane rants like this a no one in the world will pay attention to him.

The lights are dimming on the shining city on the hill. This administration is lessening our standing in the world and making us look like fools.

And I am very strict with them. A lot of the TV shows that their classmates are able to watch are banned at my house. My wife and I teach them pure and strict conservative views. The only cartoons that they are able to watch are older and non PC cartoons. They are not allow to have certain friends. Etc.

Have a nice day, guys.

Obama spies on foreign leaders all around the world, and Spicer "caused an international incident" by bringing it up.

Is this like when Trump "damaged relations" with China by accepting a call from Taiwan...after Obama sold billions in arms to Taiwan?
