Spicer on how Obama wire-tapped Drumpf:
“He didn’t use the NSA, he didn’t use the CIA, he didn’t use the FBI, and he didn’t use the Department of Justice. He used GCHQ,” declared Trump’s press secretary Sean Spicer at a press conference recently.

"That’s just foolish and very very dangerous stuff, and President Trump better get a grip - not only on his own press officer, but on the kind of encouragement being given from the White House that makes a press officer make these stupid remarks in the first place.
"It’s dangerous because we’re not talking about a candidate for the presidency, that would be bad enough. We’re talking about the President of the United States. You cannot have his official spokesman making allegations against a fellow Nato government."
He added: "Spicer the press officer never had the remotest evidence. He was relying as he himself said on a Fox News report.
“You don’t just quote from a Fox News report if you’re the President’s official spokesman unless you’ve taken the trouble to find out whether that report is justified.”
GCHQ - the Government Communications Headquarters - works alongside MI5 and MI6 and focuses on defending the country against cyber threats. It usually refuses to respond on intelligence matters.
