Israel spied on Iran talks but Obama is upset over who saw the intel

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Israel spied on the Iran nuclear negotiations and shared information with President Obama’s enemies—the U.S. Congress.

Such betrayal.

Administrations conceal things from Congress all the time of course. They don’t usually act self-righteous when caught.

WSJ story stresses: admin not mad at Israel for spying on talks. Admin mad at Israel for sharing its info w US Congress.

I wonder if we're going to see a follow up on this in a day or two where we learn "spying" means talking with France.

@verumserum Tantrum over "spying" meant 2 overshadow that Israel was right about awful details (which WH denied) & Iran even rejected those.

One possible solution would be for US negotiators to provide info to Congress before Israel does. RE https://t.co/kD85l7kjz5
