Revealed: Trump team hired spy firm for ‘dirty ops’ on Iran arms deal

Trump's usual way of doing business..dirty:

"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.
According to incendiary documents seen by the Observer, investigators contracted by the private intelligence agency were told to dig into the personal lives and political careers of Rhodes, a former deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, and Kahl, a national security adviser to the former vice-president Joe Biden. Among other things they were looking at personal relationships, any involvement with Iran-friendly lobbyists, and if they had benefited personally or politically from the peace deal.


Investigators were also apparently told to contact prominent Iranian Americans as well as pro-deal journalists – from the New York Times, MSNBC television, the Atlantic, Vox website and Haaretz, the Israeli newspaper among others – who had frequent contact with Rhodes and Kahl in an attempt to establish whether they had violated any protocols by sharing sensitive intelligence. They are believed to have looked at comments made by Rhodes in a 2016 New York Times profile in which he admitted relying on inexperienced reporters to create an “echo chamber” that helped sway public opinion to secure the deal. It is also understood that the smear campaign wanted to establish if Rhodes was among those who backed a request by Susan Rice, Obama’s final national security adviser, to unmask the identities of Trump transition officials caught up in the surveillance of foreign targets."

Why am I, or anyone, supposed to care about this?

You're not. You're supposed to support your faction above all else.

The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty
Avalon Project - Washington's Farewell Address 1796

Got it.

You admit that there is no wrong doing here, as you can't explain any, and that you are only pretending because you are so insanely partisan, that you will do or say anything to advance your faction.

Thanks.

No wrong doing?

The President of the United States is alleged to have hired foreign Intel agents to spy on American citizens and you think it is of no concern.

How am I being partisan?

The iran deal is a matter of national security. Using covert assets to investigate or impact the course of events, is valid.


That some of the covert assets are not Americans and some of those investigated are, does not change that.

That some of the covert assets are not Americans and some of those investigated are, does not change that.

The potential abuse of American's first amendment rights might change it.

That you flatly state that any of this is of no concern is in itself something Americans should be concerned about.

It makes sense to investigate these people. The Iran deal was so bad and the apparent level of incompetence of those in the Obama administration who advocated it was so astonishing that one must suspect either either corruption or disloyalty played a major role in it.

What is so bad about the Iran deal that you would think that people were disloyal to the US?

The so called Iran “deal” is a fucking joke... we get nothing out of it, in fact it make America look foolishly Naïve

In other words it's the kind of deal only a highly inexperienced former community agitator might fall for?
