      <THREAD> CONFIRMED: The Israeli intel firm Black Cube used to go after Harvey Weinstein’s accusers also targeted me & @brhodes (& our families). Lots of new details in this new @RonanFarrow piece. https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/israeli-operatives-that-aided-harvey-weinstein-collected-information-on-former-obama-administration-officials/amp?__twitter_impression=true … Was this authorized by the Trump White House? 1/10

      The Guardian piece from yesterday suggested that “aides to President Trump” hired the firm last May to dig up dirt on us as part of an effort to discredit the Iran nuclear deal. Is that true? https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/may/05/trump-team-hired-spy-firm-dirty-ops-iran-nuclear-deal … 2/10

      Let’s start with the FIRST thing we know: Despite Black Cube’s BS dodge/denial 👇, the evidence shows they went after me by targeting my wife & attempting to collect derogatory evidence with the goal of arming *someone* with info to discredit proponents of the Iran Deal. 3/10pic.twitter.com/8br4TxUWrH

      Was that *someone* an aide or associate of the President? I don’t know, but there are some suspicious coincidences—especially as it relates to the particular focus on Ben & me. We were not the only Obama officials involved in negotiating & publicly defending the Iran deal. 4/10

      Colin Kahl Retweeted FOX & friends

      Interestingly, around the same time the Israeli firm was hired, senior White House aides began complaining to Fox News about a “Ben Rhodes-Colin Kahl Nexus” that was supposedly organizing opposition to the administration. https://twitter.com/foxandfriends/status/864784121012174849?tfw_site=ringer&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theringer.com%2F2017%2F5%2F18%2F16043376%2Fsean-hannity-donald-trump-fox-news-media-split-75bb44a72ec6 … 5/10

      About a month after the Israeli firm was allegedly hired, anonymous White House officials reached out to the Washington Free Beacon, a right-wing tabloid, to smear Ben & me with baseless & false accusations. Notice the Israel angle to this piece. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/anti-trump-leak-campaign-damaging-u-s-allied-operations/ … 6/10

      As the summer wore on, senior White House aides pushed a narrative that Ben and I were solely responsible for turmoil across the Middle East. https://www.businessinsider.com/new-trump-afghanistan-strategy-using-erik-prince-military-contractors-2017-7 … 7/10pic.twitter.com/BEkrCxinJ5

          And, in July, when Trump became frustrated that he didn’t have more options to ditch the Iran nuclear deal, he turned to the same White House aides obsessed with Ben & me for alternatives. http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/07/21/trump-assigns-white-house-team-to-target-iran-nuclear-deal-sidelining-state-department/ … 8/10pic.twitter.com/fqyZce4J4y

          So here’s the SECOND thing we know: Some senior aides to the President were obsessed with Ben and me, and were seeking to smear us, around the same time the Israeli firm was tasked by someone to dig up dirt on us and our families. 9/10

          Did these same Trump aides—or outside people they contacted—have any connections to Black Cube? It’s unclear. Maybe it is all a coincidence. But it’s a creepy one…and one worth further investigation. 10/10
