Fox pulls Napolitano from air after Trump report

NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News Channel has pulled legal analyst Andrew Napolitano from the air after disavowing his on-air claim that British intelligence officials had helped former President Barack Obama spy on Donald Trump.

A person with knowledge of the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity because it was a personnel matter said Napolitano has been benched and won't be appearing on the air in the near future. Fox had no immediate comment Monday.

Napolitano's report last week on "Fox & Friends," saying he had three intelligence sources who said Obama went "outside the chain of command" to watch Trump, provoked an international incident. Britain dismissed the report as "nonsense" after White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer quoted it in a briefing, part of the administration's continued defense of Trump's unproven contention that Obama had wiretapped him at Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential campaign.

FBI Director James Comey, testifying before Congress on Monday, became the latest official to state that no evidence has been found to support Trump's charge.

The president, when asked about the incident, said that "all we did was quote a certain very talented legal mind who was the one responsible for saying that on television. I didn't make an opinion on it. You shouldn't be talking to me. You should be talking to Fox."

Fox's Shepard Smith, on the air Friday afternoon, quickly stepped the network away from Napolitano's claim.

"Fox News knows of no evidence of any kind that the now-president of the United States was surveilled at any time, in any way," Smith said.

Napolitano is a senior judicial analyst who has worked at Fox News Channel since 1998, and frequently comments on the Fox Business Network. He was a New Jersey Superior Court judge from 1987 to 1995.

Napolitano's removal from the air was first reported in the Los Angeles Times.
 
This is a big deal. FOX News is a corp shill outfit, with most of their anchors globalist sympathizers/loyalists. Roughly only 1/5th of their anchors supported Trump, outright (ie the GOP candidate, of the party they claim to support).

Napolitano was a Federal Judge. He's not a moron like those sitting in the 9th Circuit. More Trump shit to be released. It will come out Napolitano was right, FOX was wrong (again), and Trump was right (again).

FOX just doubled down on globalism. Another John Hancock for us Patriots to take note of.

NSA director says U.S. government did not ask British intelligence to spy on Trump

Del Quentin Wilber and David S. Cloud

The director of the National Security Agency said the Obama administration did not ask British intelligence to spy on Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign, as White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer alleged last week.

Adm. Mike Rogers said such a request to eavesdrop on a U.S. citizen would be "expressly against the construct" of intelligence agreements with the British and other close allies.

"I have seen nothing on the NSA side that we ever engaged in such activity" or was asked to conduct surveillance of Trump by Obama, Rogers said.

Rogers testified during the first congressional hearing into Russia's role during the 2016 presidential campaign and into President Trump's claims, first made on Twitter, that Obama had wiretapped him at Trump Tower.

Last Thursday, Spicer repeated a claim by a Fox News commentator that British intelligence had spied on Trump before his inauguration to keep "American fingerprints" off the surveillance.

The British signals agency, known as GCHQ, issued a rare and angry denial. A spokesman for Prime Minister Theresa May also denied the charge, and the British Embassy in Washington complained to the White House.

Trump last week declined to withdraw the allegation during a news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and referred reporters to Fox News for comment. Fox News later said it had no evidence "full stop" to support the commentator's claim.

Rogers declined to discuss press reports that U.S. surveillance picked up several telephone conversations between retired Lt. Gen Mike Flynn, who was ousted as national security adviser last month, and Sergey Kislyak, Russia's ambassador to the United States, after last year's election.

British intelligence officials deny Trump spying claims

British intelligence officials angrily slapped down claims made on Thursday that President Donald Trump had been under surveillance by them during his election campaign.


GCHQ, the UK’s usually tight-lipped electronic intelligence agency broke with its convention of not formally commenting on intelligence matters to deny the claims, writes Sam Jones in London.

“Recent allegations made by media commentator Judge Andrew Napolitano about GCHQ being asked to conduct ‘wire tapping’ against the then President Elect are nonsense,” a spokesperson for the agency said. “The are utterly ridiculous and should be ignored.”

The claims will nevertheless play to mounting concern in the UK over the Trump presidency, and its so-far tumultuous relationship with its own spymasters.

The Anglo-American intelligence relationship is the closest in the world, and routinely involves the seamless sharing of highly-sensitive material. Britain has played a particularly strong role in recent months in gathering intelligence on Russia — but some in the UK fear the White House’s somewhat chaotic first few weeks under the new presidency and vocal approach to intelligence matters may prefigure a more inhibited relationship in the future.

Google William Binney. Everything that comes out of official NSA/FBI channels, is mostly a lie.

Like they're going to tell the truth. Google James Clapper.

It's well known, and publicly admitted, the NSA spies on each and every American, wholesale, as a matter of standard operating procedure.

I'm not playing this stupid game where we pretend to live in a fantasy world.

William. Binney.
