<THREAD> According to this story, in May of last year, Team Trump asked an Israeli intel firm to dig up dirt on me as part of an effort to discredit the Iran deal. Tonight, as my wife read this story, that date triggered a very creepy memory. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/may/05/trump-team-hired-spy-firm-dirty-ops-iran-nuclear-deal … 1/10
Last year, my wife was serving on the fundraising committee of my daughter's public charter school in DC. One day, out of the blue, she received an email from someone claiming to represent a socially responsible private equity firm in the UK. 2/10
This "UK person" said "she" was flying to DC soon and wanted to have coffee with my wife to discuss the possibility of including my daughter's school in their educational fund network. 3/10
This was not a generic "Nigerian prince" scam. This person had all sorts of specific information on my wife's volunteer duties at an obscure DC elementary school. 4/10
There was a website for the firm (which no longer exists, by the way), but it had no depth to it, and there was no detailed information about the "UK person" who reached out to my wife. 5/10
My wife shared the email with me and a few people we know in both the finance and education fields. All agreed that the entire scenario seemed implausible and seemed like an approach by a foreign intelligence entity. 6/10
To test the implausibility, my wife kept trying to encourage the "UK person" over email to meet with other school fundraising officers & leadership while "she" was in DC, providing relevant contact info. But the "UK person" kept insisting that "she" had to meet with my wife. 7/10
At that point, my wife stopped corresponding. This all happened in late May and early June of last year. 8/10
Perhaps it was just a coincidence that this obvious scam targeting my family had all the hallmarks of an intel op and coincided with Team Trump's reported efforts to "dig up dirt" on me. 9/10
But the fact that I even have to think about the possibility that my family was targeted by people working for the President is yet another sign of the fundamental degradation of our country that Trump has produced. 10/10
There is now considerable evidence that the person who approached my wife was indeed working for the Israeli intel firm Black Cube. More here

How is this different than the Clinton campaign hiring a British ex-intelligence officer to pay Russians for unverified and salcious accusations against POTUS?
A couple things about your claim before I address the merits of your Whattaboutism... 1) I don’t think it has been established whether Steele paid anyone for information he compiled. 2) An time has progressed, elements of the dossier have been corroborated.
Having pruned some dead twigs on your argument, here is how it is different... 1) The dossier was the work product of opposition research, which is common among political campaigns by all parties, despite its forays into salaciousness.
2) The efforts reported by The Guardian describe the use of outsourced information gathering in the pursuit of a policy goal in the national interest. Which brings about the following questions:
1) Did the Trump Administration make a conscious calculation that they couldn’t address the Iranian nuclear deal on its merits so they concluded that they needed to attack its architects?
2) If the architects of the Iran deal were truly engaged in behavior worthy of scrutiny, why didn’t the administration rely on standard investigation and oversight processes?
3) Even if the administration didn’t trust the channels in (2) to do their job, what legal theory did the Trump administration rely on to conclude that their approach was legal?
My guess is that there wasn’t a serious concern contemplation of any of these things by the Trump Administration, and it was based on the principle of Trump conflating himself with the state.
How is this legal????????
If I were a gambling man, my money would be on “It’s not legal.”
Problem is he knows nobody’s going to stop him 
literally nobody
Give Mueller time...
Trump may not give him the time. In that case the Republicans in Congress would have to stand up for the country. Who’d bet on that right now?
That’s what I was saying the Tepublicans are asking for information from the Mueller investigation to give to 45 they are complicit
Republicans I meant
