Apparently over the weekend and after Fox News did not backup Napolitano's claim that the Brits were the agents hacking Trump Tower--
Napolitano now has backtracked--claiming HE got the story from a "fake" Russian news story--
What he did was get it from a Russian tool here in the US--a friend and fellow conspiracy nut job Larry Johnson--and yes--it did come from a Russian news source and yes it was fake because it was propaganda created by the Russians--
But THEY KNEW it was fake---they (Napolitano, Johnson, Trump et al) just didn't care
And that does make them puppets and tools of the Russians

So how long will Spicer have to defend Trump's use of Napolitano's being a Russian shill?
Likely Trump was hoping his claims of Obama wiretapping Trump Tower would creat a food fight between him and Obama--
Trump came out with that trash after seeing stories about Obama being feted in the streets where ever he and Michelle have been in public--saw the stories about his book deal
(big money there==more than Trump was ever offered)
And just got off-his-head jealous
So he was hoping to draw Obama out and make him look foolish...
But being way smarter than Trump, Obama just ignored him--
Which has a double benefit--
1--he isn't involved in any argument that might create more problems for Obama
2--ignoring Trump is the BEST form of fighting back---Trump hates being ignored...
