People in the trump camp contacted private investigators in May last year to get dirt on Ben Rhodes, who had been one of Obama’s top national security advisers, and Colin Kahl, deputy assistant to President Obama. Holy cow. Don't I dare be surprised!
I saw that story: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018...clear-deal
It wouldn't surprise me a bit if it's true.
It's easy to imagine Trump and Netanyahu conspiring to drum up crap they could use to justify welching on an official agreement made during the Obama administration -- by any means possible, regardless of negative impacts to their allies and everybody else.
