With Allies Like This...

I assume the Brits, like everyone else, thought Hillary Clinton was a shoo in so they went along with a request from US intelligence sources. Their mission, should they accept it, is to lift the skirts of Trump's electronic communications and have a looksee at The Donald's goodies.

"This'll put us in good with the Yanks", says they, "and after the election Winnie's bust will soon be back where it belongs, in the White House, glaring at that dreadful, horse-faced lesbian. Cheerio!"

Fox News Judicial Analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano claimed “three intelligence sources” say President Obama looked to British spy agency GCHQ to obtain transcripts of conversations involving President Donald Trump on “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday.

[..]He used GCHQ. What the heck is GCHQ? That’s the initials for the British spying agency. They have 24/7 access to the NSA 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, and there’s no American fingerprints on this.”

No one is sure what Trump will do in the best of circumstances. Lord only knows how he will take the Brits to task for this.

“No part of this story is true,” the spokesperson told The Blaze Tuesday afternoon.
