rump aides hired an Israeli security firm to obtain dirt on Obama administration national security officials, according to a new report. As Trump considered abandoning the Obama-era deal to limit Iran's nuclear program, unnamed aides hoped to discredit the agreement by digging into the personal lives and finances of President Obama's senior advisors.
As they've shown before, Trump and his enablers seek to smear and discredit anyone who stands in their way. But hiring a private security firm to dig up dirt on former government officials is truly nuts � and dangerous. These are same the tactics that dictators have used throughout history to keep tabs on their political opponents.
