Report: Obamas NSA Spied on Congress, U.S. Jewish Groups

The NSA operations revealed to President Obama that Israeli officials had coordinated on messaging with U.S. Jewish groups that had come out against the Iran nuclear deal, the report says, citing unnamed officials familiar with the espionage operations.

At the time, President Obama was facing a wave ofcriticism from European leaderssuch as French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkelregarding allegations of NSA spying operations against their respective countries. This, however, did not stop him from ordering spy agencies to continue their operations against Israel, claiming they served a compelling national security purpose, according to the WSJ report.

Thereafter, the President successfully wiredthe office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as the two leaders fell on opposite sides of the Iran nuclear deal. Netanyahu, a fierce critic of the deal, warned it would empower Iran as the worlds largest state-sponsor of terror. President Obama, on the other hand, was convinced that negotiating with Iran, and funneling tens of billions of dollars into their coffers, would allow for the regime to open up to the world and give power to more moderate voices from within.

The NSA would routinely intercept Netanyahus communications and send them to White House officials for dissections, the report says, citing a former official.

When Israel continued to lobby against the deal, the NSA picked up on Israeli officials conversations with American members of Congress. The people interviewed for the Wall Street Journal piece claim that these communications were mistakenly obtained, but nonetheless, still amount to a Nixonian endeavor.

The Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C. responded to allegations they were coaching American Jewish groups on anti- Iran deal talking points, describing them as total nonsense.

The Obama Administration would ultimately agree to the Iran nuclear deal without the support of the American public or the U.S. Congress. When polled, a majority of the American people consistently rejected the iran deal.

Iran has already tested the limits of the nuclear deal, firing off two ballistic missile tests in clear violation of UN sanctions. The regime in Tehran has sent Shiite mercenaries to fight the civil war in Syria, and continues to overtly support terror groups Hamas and Hezbollah.
