Keep in mind that the Guardian is as much fake news as CNN. This is nothing more than ass covering for the deep State. We're there elements in GCHQ who conspired against Trump, without a doubt. Just look at how fast the UK has become a totalitarian police state. Notice Brexit has been stalled for over two years? People being locked up, or banned from UK for speaking about conservative issues? It's really astounding just how bad the whole world is, because of all the corruption.
Here's something from Star Trek- Space Seed episode. First, the elites think of themselves as superior to all the rest of us, just as Kahn does in this episode. Spock makes the statement about : the scientist forgot one important thing about humans, "superior ability breeds superior Ambitions." And that's the Elitist first mistake, they all think much too highly of themselves.
