Because neither country are legally allowed to spy on their own citizens we just did it to each others then swapped the information .

' I ' m on mobile so not going to spend my find giving sources but if you Google something like GCHQ spying on American citizens I ' m sure you will find the relevant info . <| sep |> Yeah this is true . I ' m just interested on what his view of him actually is . I mean , when he was on Defranco ' s podcast they came across as pretty friendly , but lately , from things he ' s said on Twitter and now this I wonder if his opinion of him has changed .
