#1 From Trump Tower take a right on E-57th St., 4 blocks to 3rd Ave. British Consulate is on the left. It's under a half mile.

#2 There is one problem with this scenario: GCHQ is run by the US and UK 50/50. Therefore any request to the GCHQ would be considered "going through the chain of command" with all the legal liability that goes with it.

Also, why go through the trouble of getting a FISA Court warrant if you can just get an "informal" tap from the British?

More likely the answer comes from the recent WIKILEAKS dump: The CIA has a hacking/cyber warfare capability that dwarfs that of the NSA. However, they have declassified all of their code. If you can find it, you can use it. Everyone, from the DNC to contractors for the NSC to ex-MI6 can use the same suite of tools to hack Trump Tower.

A binary extension of their gun running and shi* disturbance operations as it were.

#4 The CIA/NSA and MI5/6 have a long running agreement with each other: You spy on our citizens and we'll spy on your subjects, and then share all info equally.
That way nobody's violating laws against spying on their own people, technically.
