The very purpose of intelligence agencies is to spread disinformation.
Of course lefties believe it like its holy scripture brought down from the mount.

So far no real source that the USA has issued an apology. Or even that the story is untrue.

Sounds like fake news to me.

The BBC is reporting that Spicer didn't actually apologize but agreed not to mention it again.

Both the OP and the article state there WAS NO APOLOGY.

Why are you insinuating the opposite????

If Britain wasn't snooping around why was it reported that UK Intelligence gave the US the tip off about Russian hacking in the first place.

UK intelligence gave US key tipoff about Russian hacking, report says - Guardian

And why is the Head of MI6 using information contained in a secret dossier on Trump in his speeches, and who sanctioned former MI6 Officer Christopher Steele and his shady company Orbis Business Intelligence to create such a dossier in the first place, and why was the dossier supposedly passed to the FBI according to Steele.

Lets also not forget the mysterious murder of Oleg Erovinkin, a former KGB/FSB general, who was found dead in his car in Moscow on December 26, 2016. Erovinkin was a key liaison between Igor Sechin, head of Rosneft (a Russian Oil Company), and President Putin. Christopher Steele claimed much of the information came from a source close to Sechin.

Nothing to do with Britain then.

Default Britain’s surveillance agency slaps down claim it was involved in Trump ‘wiretap’

Team Trump does it AGAIN!!

They keep quoting FOX (fake) News for fact and keep making absolute fools out of themselves.

The White House quoted Judge Napolitanos fake news about UK doing the dirty work for Obama and wiretapping Trumps phones, and rightly UK responded by saying the comments "are utterly ridiculous and should be ignored".

I agree. Whatever claims comes out of Team Trump is uttely ridiculous and should be ignored.


https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.bb875ae60716

LONDON — In a highly unusual move, Britain’s main surveillance agency slapped down allegations that the Obama administration used it to spy on Donald Trump during the presidential campaign, saying the claims were “utterly ridiculous.”

During the briefing, Spicer cited claims made earlier this week on Fox News by Napolitano. The former judge told the broadcaster that sources had informed Fox News that Obama used Britain’s GCHQ so “there’s no American fingerprints on this.”

Here is what scares me about this current administration. During whatever time Trump is in there, some major national problem is going to happen. It might be something with North Korea, or maybe ISIS. With the dishonesty and lack of any experience on that team, how will we be able to trust anything they do or tell us ?

When you have people driving the airplane, who have never flown, it is pretty concerning. It is even worse when they tell you they are smarter than any pilot and do not need to know how to fly it.

i don't know what the truth is - but somebody does. there is a famous line from a political leader when faced with a crisis: "when it gets serious - you have to lie". someone is lying and hopefully we will find out who it is soon. perhaps the answer lies in Vault 7. one thing that I do know for sure - the obama admin is as corrupt as they come.

So kind of the opposite side of the same coin as you.

Yet Obama's administration did wire-tap Angela Merkel (Germany) and former President Dilma Rouseff in Brazil.

Is it really that far fetched and ridiculous that Trump was not monitored?

Who cares what a British Spy agency thinks anyway?

Does that make it case-closed nothing to see here because a foreign spy agency said so?
