He's the fucking president of the United States, does anyone really believe he wouldn't be willing to work with a foreign government in order to undermine his opponent as a candidate? Man.
The story has legs alright. It's now being picked up by major U.S. media outlets.
Israeli private spy company Black Cube was hired days after Trump visited Netanyahu in May of last year, when Trump publicly proclaimed that Iran would never have nuclear weapons.
The mission of the op was to dig up dirt on Obama officials who'd worked on the Iran Nuclear deal.
The targets were Ben Rhodes and Colin Kahl, who'd been the subject of bogus right-wing conspiracy theories.
A female Black Cube operative contacted Rhodes' and Kahl's wives -- she knew all about the them and posed as someone who wanted to donate money to causes they support using an alias and a fake Linked-In profile.
After the operative kept pushing the wives to meet with certain individuals, they both knew something was off. Black Cube walked away empty handed.
Black Cube used the same strategy it had used to try to dig up dirt on Harvey Weinstein's victims in attempt to discredit and silence them.
