Ratfuckers.

For those just tuning in, history of this term: "Ratfucking is an American slang term for political sabotage or dirty tricks. It was first brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in their book All the President's Men." It was used by a Nixon political operative Don Segretti. They own it and used it.
