Revealed: Trump team hired spy firm for ‘dirty ops’ on Iran arms deal
The Guardian ^ | May 5, 2018

Israeli agency told to find incriminating material on Obama diplomats who negotiated deal with Tehran Donald Trump promised the Israeli leader that Iran would never have nuclear weapons. Donald Trump promised the Israeli leader that Iran would never have nuclear weapons. Photograph: Manuel Balce Ceneta/AP Aides to Donald Trump, the US president, hired an Israeli private intelligence agency to orchestrate a “dirty ops” campaign against key individuals from the Obama administration who helped negotiate the Iran nuclear deal, the Observer can reveal.

People in the Trump camp contacted private investigators in May last year to “get dirt” on Ben Rhodes, who had been one of Barack Obama’s top national security advisers, and Colin Kahl, deputy assistant to Obama, as part of an elaborate attempt to discredit the deal.

The extraordinary revelations come days before Trump’s 12 May deadline to either scrap or continue to abide by the international deal limiting Iran’s nuclear programme.

Jack Straw, who as foreign secretary was involved in earlier efforts to restrict Iranian weapons, said: “These are extraordinary and appalling allegations but which also illustrate a high level of desperation by Trump and [the Israeli prime minister] Benjamin Netanyahu, not so much to discredit the deal but to undermine those around it.”

One former high-ranking British diplomat with wide experience of negotiating international peace agreements, requesting anonymity, said: “It’s bloody outrageous to do this. The whole point of negotiations is to not play dirty tricks like this.”

Idiots at the commie Guardian don’t realize the Mossad already knew all about the terms of the deal AND the money transfer and methods..... that’s how WE know what a crappy deal it is.

Obama, Kerry and Rhodes played dirty tricks to sell a dirty rotten scoundrels deal.

Turnabout is fair play, indeed.

The Guardian is a Marxist rag disguised as a liberal rag. If you change the words of this article a little bit, it perfectly fits what the Media “Deep State” and the “Dossiergate/Clinton/DNC cabal” tried to do to Donald Trump.

Shows a lack of experience. Didn’t he know that one hires the spy firm to make up false shite about the opponent? That’s the Demorat way, isn’t it?

About time that the Trump team got down and dirty on Obama.

When Rhodes told folks about his echo chamber misleading the press, any reasonable person should have been shocked.

Even more shocking was the planes full of cash and gold/silver sent to Iran as bribe money to be used to fund terrorism.

I think it is really funny.

You publish a fake dossier about Russian whores pissing in my bed and I will find some real dirt on your team.

Not surprising, but perhaps a bit naïve. If true, it would appear that Trump felt there must be some sort of reason, financial or otherwise, for Ben Rhodes and Obama to betray the United States. Being from New York, maybe he thinks the only reason people betray something is for money. If you asked him now, I bet he understands that ideology, and the deep left’s hatred of the United States is all they needed. Either way, MAGA.

IOW, the attempt to railroad through the annihilation of Israel -- by Obama/Soetero/Zero, Kerry, France, Germany, the UK, Russia, China, whomever else, is something that these media smear merchants don't want discussed. Thanks keat.

Smells like another Russia, Russia, Russia.

Nothing that even holds a candle to what Hellary and Soetoro did in Benghazi.

“People in the Trump camp contacted private investigators in May last year to “get dirt” on Ben Rhodes...”

Why not just hire Simpson and Steele.

“It’s bloody outrageous to do this. The whole point of negotiations is to not play dirty tricks like this.”

The whole point of elections is to not drag out the contest and try to discredit the results with dirty tricks.

Going on 62 years after the UK got humiliated in the Suez. Still not over it. Still trying to poke the American people in the eye. Pitiful.
