The Guardian is out with a story that exhibits the squalor of the Trump administration. The gist of it is this: The Trump administration hired a private Israeli spy firm to coordinate a campaign of dirty tricks against the Obama administration personnel who negotiated the Iran deal.
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.
It should not need saying that serving your country should not result in the next administration organizing a smear campaign against you because of policy differences. It’s probably not grounds for impeachment, but it sure tells you what sort of human sewage now occupies the Oval Office.
