British Role Confirmed in Trump Spying Scandal
AIM ^ | April 17, 2017

Posted on 04/17/2017 11:37:05 AM PDT by detective

The British Guardian posted a report on April 13 claiming that its sources now admit that the British spy agency GCHQ was digitally wiretapping Trump associates, going back to late 2015. This was presumably when the December 2015 Moscow meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Lt. General Michael Flynn took place.

This runs contrary to the blanket nature of the denial insinuated in GCHQ’s carefully-crafted statement of March 17 claiming it was all “nonsense” and “utterly ridiculous” that they conducted surveillance of “then president-elect” Donald Trump (emphasis added). The surveillance went back a year before he became “president-elect.”

The evidence now indicates that the information was procured for partisan political purposes—to spy on the Trump opposition to Hillary Clinton using the full weight of the U.S. government’s NSA spying apparatus (or NSA facilities used by British GCHQ).

I think the anglo spy services work this way, the Brits spy on ours, we spy on theirs, and then share the information. Its a way of staying technically legal.

And, it keeps it all deniable. No, on my mother’s honor, we weren’t spying on... whoever.

Since the action was in 2015, the probability that Trump was not the only candidate survieled increases by several magnitudes

Yeah, if I were Rex I’d be having a sit-down high tea with Miss May asking: ‘So.... tell me how you were so confident that Hillary would win that you risked the special relationship you’ve enjoyed with the US for one hundred years. Yes, I mean vote fraud, start talkin’ .’

No doubt the Israeli’s and Russians were also monitoring political
Activities. They both have the ability and motive.

Also explains why zero has been hanging with Sir Geffen... begging him to beg the Queen not to throw him under the bus by busting him on this.

So much for draining the swamp! Last section of posted article:

Pompeo Must Clean Out the CIA

Trump’s CIA Director Mike Pompeo is in a position to get to the bottom of this scandal. Yet, on April 13, 2017, in his first public speech as director, he seemed to indicate that the evidence being developed in connection with the CIA’s role in the illegal surveillance of President Trump was going to be ignored or brushed aside. It was a forceful, even strident, defense of the Agency.

“I inherited an Agency that has a real appreciation for the law and for the Constitution,” he claimed. “Despite fictional depictions meant to sell books or box-office tickets, we are not an untethered or rogue agency. So yes, while we have some truly awesome capabilities at our disposal, our officers do not operate in areas or against targets that are rightfully and legally off-limits to us.”

The evidence suggests the opposite. The CIA under Obama’s CIA Director Brennan was involved in illegal surveillance, using those “truly awesome capabilities,” against political targets that should have been off-limits.

One of those targets was the President who appointed Pompeo as CIA director.
