Obama admin. sent taxpayer money to campaign to oust Netanyahu
The Washinton Times ^ | July 12, 2016 | Stephan Dinan

The State Department paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayers grants to an Israeli group that used the money to build a campaign to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in last year’s Israeli parliamentary elections, a congressional investigation concluded Tuesday.

Some $350,000 was sent to OneVoice, ostensibly to support the group’s efforts to back Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement negotiations. But OneVoice used the money to build a voter database, train activists and hire a political consulting firm with ties to President Obama’s campaign — all of which set the stage for an anti-Netanyahu campaign, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said in a bipartisan staff report.

In one stunning finding, the subcommittee said OneVoice even told the State Department’s top diplomat in Jerusalem of its plans in an email, but the official, Consul General Michael Ratney, claims never to have seen them.

Meddling in other countries’ business is apparently only wrong if your last name is Bush.

Wonder how much One Voice donated to the Clinton Foundation?

Perfectly legal with omnibus budgeting. I mean why even have a congress?

Those billions of dollars that went ‘missing’ from the State Dept certainly makes a nice slush fund to promote the Globalist agenda.

“...the subcommittee said OneVoice even told the State Department’s top diplomat in Jerusalem of its plans in an email, but the official, Consul General Michael Ratney, claims never to have seen them.”

No big deal, they probably just got deleted from Hillary’s private server, which is no longer illegal according to the FBI and Justice Dept.

Impeachable offense, but he’ll get away with it.

If you see nothing wrong with accepting illegal foreign donations to your own campaign, you will see nothing wrong with making illegal foreign donations to another's campaign.

There is very little that this president has done that was not or hasn’t bordered on an impeachable offense.

Couldn’t agree more. 0bama openly has Muslim advisors connected to the Muslim Brotherhood and other radicals in the White House and is proud of it, yet few seem to think his actions are treasonous.

The Washington Times website is a nightmare without a script blocker and an ad blocker.
