Last week. the left-leaning news site Politico released
a report claiming that Israel planted “mysterious” spy devices near the White
House during Trump’s presidency.
But several pundits have highlighted just how problematic
the credibility of this report is. The Lid blog notes that
‘Stingrays’, the devices used to allegedly spy on Trump according to the
report, are considered obsolete making a high-tech powerhouse like Israel
unlikely to ever use them saying: ““StingRay is old technology, U.S. police
forces have been using it since 2006 or earlier. In technology years,
StingRay is ancient. If Israel were to mount an operation to spy on the
pro-Israel Trump administration after eight years of the anti-Israel Obama
White House, there is no way they would use ancient technology which can be
easily detected. Israel is one of the leading sources of cell phone
technology.”
Meanwhile, the Washington Examiner notes the odd timing
of the report. That’s because although these devices were discovered last year,
the sources decided to reveal this information less than a week before Israel’s
election. In his column, Quin Hillyer notes
that: “American experience shows that if a news story toward the end of a close
campaign seems outlandish, odds are that’s because it’s not true.” Hillyer uses
Dan Rather’s fake news story about George Bush Jr. dodging the draft.
Conservative radio show host and Fox News commentator
Mark Levin weighed in calling Politico a “left-wing news site that Obama
officials love to leak to.”
Levin takes it a step further adding that since the
sources in the article are “three former senior US officials, in other words –
Obama appointees. Obama appointees planted this. They planted it in an American
news site in order to try and create hostility between our president Trump and
Prime minister Netanyahu who are very close.”
“This story in my view was planted by former Obama
officials” Levin added.
