is this not treason?</a></p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;" class="">In a bombshell report from the Wall Street Journal, it is revealed that Israeli officials, including Bibi Netanyahu, bribed members of Congress to vote against the Iran deal. This information
comes from the NSA program of surveillance on “friendly” countries. </p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;" class="">When Edward Snowden revealed that we spied on friendly leaders, a great hue and cry went up about the legalities and the ethics. In 2012, President Obama gave an order curtailing this program.
However, he did not eliminate it entirely. Certain people were still kept under surveillance, most notably Prime Minister Erdogan of Turkey, and Bibi. Because, as the NSA has said, “how could you not?”</p>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 0px 0px;" class=""><span style="box-sizing: border-box;" class="">Stepped-up NSA eavesdropping revealed to the White House how Mr. Netanyahu and his advisers had leaked details of the U.S.-Iran negotiations—learned
through Israeli spying operations—to undermine the talks; coordinated talking points with Jewish-American groups against the deal; and asked undecided lawmakers what it would take to win their votes, according to current and former officials familiar with
the intercepts.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;" class="">Everyone has declined to comment on the activities. Of course they have. Because everyone does it to everyone else. The history of US-Israeli intelligence “relations” has a long history of both
agencies getting caught spying on the other.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;" class="">So, how did the NSA find out about the bribery?</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;" class="">In 2011, Obama and Bibi diverged over Iran. Bibi was secretly preparing for war, while the President had begun secret negotiations with Iran.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;" class="">After it was determined that Bibi wasn’t going to attack, they still kept up the surveillance because of the negotiations. They wanted to make sure that Israel wasn’t going to torpedo the deal.
This was done with knowledge of the members of the various Intelligence Committees.</p>

officials later denied targeting U.S. negotiators</a>, saying they had won access to U.S. positions by spying only on the Iranians.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;" class="">By late 2014, White House officials knew Mr. Netanyahu wanted to block the emerging nuclear deal but didn’t know how.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;" class="">On Jan. 8, <a href="http://topics.wsj.com/person/B/John-Boehner/6252" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(180, 63, 9); text-decoration: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;" class="">John
Boehner</a>, then the Republican House Speaker, and incoming Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell agreed on a plan. They would invite Mr. Netanyahu to deliver a speech to a joint session of Congress. A day later, <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2015/12/29/the-phone-call-that-upended-u-s-israel-relations/" target="_self" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(180, 63, 9); text-decoration: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;" class="">Mr.
Boehner calledRon Dermer, the Israeli ambassador, to get Mr. Netanyahu’s agreement</a>.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;" class="">Despite NSA surveillance, Obama administration officials said they were caught off guard when Mr. Boehner announced the invitation on Jan. 21.</p>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;" class="">Soon after, Israel’s lobbying campaign against the deal went into full swing on Capitol Hill, and it didn’t take long for administration and intelligence officials to realize the NSA was sweeping up
the content of conversations with lawmakers.</div>
