More Russia
Apparently the allegation that the Brits spied on the President at the behest of Obama originally came from a Russian fake news blog.
Fox News, and President Donald Trump were duped.
And neither is classy enough to admit it.
THE Kremlin was behind the White House’s wild claim that GCHQ spied on Donald Trump, spymasters believe.
An investigation by the Cheltenham-based eavesdropping agency has discovered the accusation was initially made by a Russian fake news blog.
President Vladimir Putin’s henchmen are notorious for the black propaganda trick of spreading untrue but highly damaging claims on the internet.
Believed to have been acting on President Trump’s direct orders, White House press secretary Sean Spicer repeated it on Thursday night during a bizarre news conference having heard it from a TV pundit on US news network Fox News.
The revelation comes after America apparrently issued a grovelling apology to Downing Street yesterday for spreading the false claim that Trump’s predecessor Barack Obama asked GCHQ to snoop on him after his shock election victory In November.

DNI Clapper was also asked on "Meet the Press" if he had any evidence that the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russian government while the Kremlin was working to influence the election."Not to my knowledge," Clapper said, based on the information he had before his time in the position ended."We did not include anything in our report … that had any reflect of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians. There was no evidence of that included in our report," he said. "We had no evidence of such collusion."
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

Re: More Russia
A very weak attempt to change the subject.
Please direct your comments to the thread's topic.
Apparently Donald Trump and Fox News repeated a ridiculous allegation that originated on a Russian fake news blog.
And, in the process, offended a key ally.
What do you think about that?

Re: More Russia
Donald Trump might look to other sources for his information. Somebody might want to have that conversation with him.
