https://trib.al/BXP4APGThe alleged plan was to discredit the agreement, which the president has called the worst deal ever, by digging up dirt on Ben Rhodes, one of President Obamas national security advisers, and Colin Kahl, who was Vice President Bidens national security adviser. Investigators were supposedly told to look at their personal lives and any involvement with Iran-friendly lobbyists. They were also told to contact journalists who supported the deal to see if Rhodes or Kahl told them any sensitive information.

Trump has an itchy nuke button finger. He'll do anything to find an excuse to pull out of this deal.
