One of Judge Napolitano’s British spying sources was the same man who started hoax that Michelle Obama used racial slur against white people in 2008
– Donald Trump’s press secretary repeated a claim first made on Fox News by legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano that UK spies helped Obama surveil Trump
– One of Napolitano’s sources is Larry C. Johnson, a former CIA analyst who also invented false claim that Michelle Obama made a taped slur about whites
– White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer repeated Napolitano’s claim, prompting a furious GCHQ to issue a rare denial
– Spicer denies reports he apologized to Britain for repeating claim that its spies were used by Obama to get material on Trump
– Spicer said he was just ‘passing on news reports’ when he used his press briefing to repeat a claim by Napolitano
The source of a Fox News commentator’s claim that then-President Barack Obama enlisted British intelligence to spy on Donald Trump during the recent election campaign is reportedly the same man who propagated the baseless claim that Michelle Obama used a racial slur against white people.
Larry C. Johnson, a former CIA intelligence officer, told Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano that Obama used the GCHQ, Britain’s high-tech global listening post that monitors communications around the world, to spy on Trump, according to The New York Times.
Johnson called the Times at Napolitano’s behest. He confirmed to the newspaper that he was one of the sources for the judge’s claims – which were then repeated by White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Thursday.
The White House had latched onto the disputed Fox News report on Thursday in its latest battle with the press to produce evidence of Trump’s claim that Obama wiretapped him.

Larry Johnson is a flake and fabricator who regularly appears on RT. Way to go, "judge" — and POTUS!
