If you need any more proof -- and by now you shouldn't -- of how effective the Iran deal has been, look no further than Saturday's edition of The Guardian/Observer.
Reporters Mark Townsend and Julian Borger reported that aides to President Trump hired an Israeli private intelligence agency, Black Cube, to "dig up dirt" on former Obama administration officials involved in negotiating and/or defending the deal as part of an effort to discredit them and, by association, the deal itself.
According to the story, which said it was based on documents seen by Guardian/Observer reporters, investigators contracted by Black Cube were told to examine the personal lives and political careers of Ben Rhodes, Obama's deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, and Colin Kahl, a national security adviser to former vice-president Joe Biden.
Sources cited by the New Yorker's Ronan Farrow gave a different account, asserting that the effort, rather than ordered up by aides to Trump, was part of Black Cube's work for a private-sector client pursuing commercial interests related to sanctions on Iran. "Black Cube has no relation whatsoever to the Trump administration, to Trump aides, to anyone close to the administration, or to the Iran nuclear deal. Anyone who claims otherwise is misleading their readers and viewers," the firm said in a statement.
In any event, investigators were apparently also told to look at potential involvement by Rhodes or Kahl with Iran-friendly lobbyists, personal or political gains they may have received from the deal, and any inappropriate disclosure of sensitive information that may have resulted from their defense of it.

I'm sure we'll be seeing more of these by the end of the day. These people are deranged...
I wonder how long it will take before a San Francisco federal district judge enjoins President Trump from dumping Obama’s Iran deal.
I wouldn’t be surprised.
Sadly.
I’m betting Farrow is right, and that anyone hire to investigate Iran Deal supporters was in an effort to blackmail the into supporting it.
That’s the democrat way
I wonder how long it will take before a San Francisco federal district judge enjoins President Trump from dumping Obama’s Iran deal. ..............10, 9, 8, 7, ........
After their predictions of the outcome of the 2016 election, the consequences of the tax cuts, and the reaction of NK and China to Trump’s diplomacy, they want to continue their perfect record of failure.
I wonder how long it will take before a San Francisco federal district judge enjoins President Trump from dumping Obama’s Iran deal.
I'll bet he soiled himself when the election of President Trump signalled that the Pizza Party was over for his kind...
This is a new take on this... That somehow Trump wants to kill the deal for nefarious reasons.
Canceling this ‘deal’ has the appearance of ‘wounding’ the new world order?
I assume it wasn't a "failure" at all to the people who were responsible for it, probably because they were promised retirement packages worth hundreds of millions of dollars deposited in offshore accounts.
No, we shouldn’t doubt anything that CNN reports. Because their record is soooooo good.
I understand Stormy Daniels is majorly against the Iran deal.
The sole reason why Billions were stacked on Pallets and shipped to Iran is that cash is not traceable. Our Traitorous Senators filled their pockets with that money.
And PDJT can and IMHO should tell the judge to pound sand...IF they do, I don’t think they will.
Whhhhhaaaattttt???? What exactly are they proving as being effective? Sure... it was pretty treasonous. Err, and it basically gave Iran a smokescreen to work on Nuclear weapons.
But they went from ‘see how effective it is’ because ‘Trump went looking for dirt on it’? How odd and illogical.
