The Daily 202: Rudy Giuliani is repeating seven mistakes that brought down previous Trump advisers
-- The firm Black Cube gathered information on Obama administration officials who negotiated the Iran deal in hopes of undermining the agreement, Ronan Farrow writes in the New Yorker. “[Black Cube] was also employed by Harvey Weinstein and … offers its clients access to operatives from ‘Israel’s élite military and governmental intelligence units,’ including the Mossad. … [D]ocuments show that Black Cube compiled detailed background profiles of
several individuals, including [foreign-policy advisers Ben Rhodes and Colin Kahl], that featured their addresses, information on their family members, and even the makes of their cars. Black Cube agents were instructed to try to find damaging information about them, including unsubstantiated claims that Rhodes and Kahl had worked closely with Iran lobbyists and were personally enriched through their policy work on Iran (they denied those claims); rumors that Rhodes was one of the Obama staffers responsible for ‘unmasking’ Trump transition officials who were named in intelligence documents (Rhodes denied the claim); and an allegation that one of the individuals targeted by the campaign had an affair.”
-- The Observer of London reported that it was Trump aides who hired the Israeli firm to gather intel on Obama administration officials. From Mark Townsend and Julian Borger: “People in the Trump camp contacted private investigators in May last year to ‘get dirt’ on [Rhodes and Kahl] as part of an elaborate attempt to discredit the deal. … Sources said that officials linked to Trump’s team contacted investigators days after Trump visited Tel Aviv a year ago, his first foreign tour as US president. Trump promised Netanyahu that Iran would never have nuclear weapons and suggested that the Iranians thought they could ‘do what they want’ since negotiating the nuclear deal in 2015. A source with details of the ‘dirty tricks campaign’ said: ‘The idea was that people acting for Trump would discredit those who were pivotal in selling the deal, making it easier to pull out of it.’”
