This one, however, was different. Someone went to a bit of trouble placing her out there in the bushes.

"Farrow’s report, which piggybacks off a Guardian report from over the weekend that claimed Israeli intelligence firm Black Cube had been hired by Trump aides to spy on former Obama administration officials who were instrumental in pushing the Iran nuclear deal, shows how agents of the firm assumed false identities to try to trick officials into meeting with them.

“Black Cube agents were instructed to try to find damaging information about them, including unsubstantiated claims that [former Obama administration officials Ben Rhodes and Colin Kahl] had worked closely with Iran lobbyists and were personally enriched through their policy work on Iran (they denied those claims)… and an allegation that one of the individuals targeted by the campaign had an affair,” Farrow reported."

It's a trait of all Republicans. They just assume everybody has to cheat to succeed.

However, "projection" as I understand it usually refers to fantasy acts or, at least, twisted ideation. With the Rump, I think he is intimately familiar with the criminal acts he "projects" because he has actually committed them at some point in his sordid past. Maybe I'm wrong about the definition of "projection".

And a pretty clever way at that: Given how bigoted most GOP voters are (and how much they hated Obama), that alone probably won him the nomination.
