Israeli intelligence agents were likely behind the placement of surveillance devices near the White House, U.S. intelligence has reportedly concluded.

Politico reported Thursday that U.S. investigators had determined that Israel was most likely the culprit responsible for placing StingRay phone trackers near the White House, with the apparent purpose of capturing information from phones used by President Trump or top White House aides.

If this was happening, there's no mention of when it started.

During the Obama administration?

Makes sense, considering all the deep state Israel haters in DC.

Ping when you do that.

Our ally? yes, but it started muuuuch further back than that.

Remember the way Bill Clinton was (when not in the Oval office) with Monica on the PHONE?

At one point they got worried it would come out and they put their heads together to hash out what they might say if it came out:

They decided they’d both say it had been their knowing RUSE, as they understood their strictly chummy calls were all along being monitored by Israel, something that was THEN KNOWN.

It has been going on for DECADES.

Unit 8200, check it out —they’re our NSA, but turbo-charged, and Israeli.

TONS of “our” stuff in fact is not ours at all.

They’re the freaking ninjya masters.

Unit 8200 people are alll over their version of Silicon Valley and they’re employed in Silicon Valley, too.

“These allegations are absolute nonsense. Israel doesn’t conduct espionage operations in the United States, period,” Elad Strohmayer told Politico”

That’s believable.

If from Politico sources in “US intelligence agencies” then it’s either the Russians, the Chinese or the Euro-leftists attacking Trump.

If it is a Stingray device, could have just as easily been The NY Times.

I could clearly understand the concern of the Israelis if they placed the listening devices during the Obama regime. They just did not remove them after the 2016 election, but perhaps now, these communications are not monitored nearly so closely.

There are still a few Deep State operatives in the White House whom the Israelis might want to continue to track.

“Israel doesn’t conduct espionage operations in the United States, period,”

I’d wager every major country conducts espionage operations against every other country, friend and foe alike. The level and depth of espionage will differ between enemies and allies.

Yep! No doubt, intended for B-HO - and who could blame them?

I’m sure THIS, TOO is just more anti-Israeli BS:

I worry about Bibi feeling his oats and causing problems while a strong ally like Trump is in the WH. Hopefully, he will keep a lid on it until after Trump is reeelected. Trump doesn’t need anything else on his plate in an election year.

An analysis from the FBI and other agencies concluded...

I have a hard time believing ANYTHING supported by FBI analysis these days.

I believe it WAS the Obama administration who was spying on Trump and THIS is their cover story.

Another country wants to know who is visiting the white house. Its not likely targeted at Americans or big people. It will capture lower level people who visit the white house all the time.
