:::::I'd be surprised if Britain's [[GCHQ]] was ''not'' wiretapping Donald Trump. GCHQ has been wiretapping vast numbers of people since around 2010.[https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/jun/21/gchq-cables-secret-world-communications-nsa] [[User:Desmonduk|Desmonduk]] ([[User talk:Desmonduk|talk]]) 20:23, 21 March 2017 (EDT)

::::::Indeed. There are two possibilities here. (1) They did it on their own out of concern for national security based on Trump's statements about NATO and known Russian contacts between people close to Trump. Having secured an intelligence product, they passed it along to their American counterparts who responded, "Please keep us apprised" (all totally legal). (2) As a disinterested 3rd party in a reciprocal favor agreement to skirt domestic law, controversy, and politics, as the US was in the Diana Spencer case.

::::::*Fox needs British approval to buy a satellite service, which is probably why they caved.[https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/a-conservative-news-crack-up-things-just-got-real-for-some-partisan-personalities/2017/03/23/87641024-0f42-11e7-9d5a-a83e627dc120_story.html] That the British put the screws on Fox shows that there is an intelligence relationship that was endangered by Napolitano's relevations. Otherwise, why would they care? [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 05:31, 24 March 2017 (EDT)
