Desperate times call for desperate measures. And Benjamin Netanyahu’s revelations about the horrendously awful Iran Deal have made times pretty desperate for the Obama Bros. So they’re taking some pretty desperate measures to cover for their old boss.
As Twitchy told you, after having a night to sleep on it, Ben Rhodes got to work this afternoon spinning the Iran Deal in Obama’s favor, trotting out the bogus narrative about having to make a deal with the Iranian regime because the Iranian regime can’t be trusted. Tommy Vietor opted for a slightly different route.

Oh, he spoke, all right:
4 An Israeli official said the timing of the publication was coordinated with the White House and the reason it was published this week was due to the May 12th deadline regarding the Iran deal

After years of bashing US intelligence agencies for getting Iraq WMD wrong, Trump is now cooking up intel with the Israelis to push us closer to a conflict with Iran. A scandal hiding in plain sight. https://t.co/fWGRVKMXyP

That’s a lot to unpack. Where do we start?

Did you just suggest that Trump and the Israelis made up the intel Bibi presented yesterday?
Or do you have another definition for the term "cooked up?" https://t.co/PFQMpsnY2w

You claim the Mossad files are fake? Interesting. https://t.co/bY5W7183G5

GP Interesting. What's your support for the claim Trump and/or Israel is making up intel? Or do you just not like the timing of actually valid intel's release because it makes Obama and Kerry look like gullible putzes? https://t.co/rWuQuzGzdD

Or maybe he just doesn’t like Teh Jooz.
(((The Israelis))) always trying to trick America into fighting wars, says former Obama official.
Sounds familiar. https://t.co/bY5W7183G5

Just say "Jewish wars." It's obvious from this Tweet and from your past behavior you want to. Let it out. https://t.co/OXRgzas63H

Tommy was, btw, spokesman for Obama's National Security Council.
Conspiracy theories about Jewish perfidy were the policy from the top down. https://t.co/04zst9SwDR

If Alex Jones were liberal Obama would've made him NSC spokesman.

tommy vietor is like five steps away from being like "did u know that every jew at the world trade center called out sick on 9/11???"

That should really be something.
They've lost their minds.

It's intentional. They plotted this out yesterday.
You can see it unfolding in real time. First it was the "echo chamber" eerily repeating the same two talking points.
Now the Obama Bros are throwing out wild-eyed conspiracy theories to create noise. https://t.co/DesIlg7uos

To be fair, a lot of guys who drive vans are conspiracy theorists. https://t.co/YPJ9YZEI4o

Snort.

Update:
The Washington Examiner’s Philip Klein points out another disturbing facet of Vietor’s conspiracy theory:
Setting aside the conspiracy, think of the twisted morality here. This dude served admin that worked with a terrorist state to undermine ally. Now calls it a scandal that two allies are cooperating on intel against a U.S. enemy. https://t.co/PYt8QmOFWW

That’s seriously messed up.
