Source: Senate panel probing possible Obama administration ties to anti-Netanyahu effort
Foxnews ^

Posted on 03/14/2015 12:18:01 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA

A powerful U.S. Senate investigatory committee has launched a bipartisan probe into an American nonprofit’s funding of efforts to oust Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the Obama administration’s State Department gave the nonprofit taxpayer-funded grants, a source with knowledge of the panel's activities told FoxNews.com.

The fact that both Democratic and Republican sides of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations have signed off on the probe could be seen as a rebuke to President Obama, who has had a well-documented adversarial relationship with the Israeli leader.

The development comes as Netanyahu told Israel’s Channel Two television station this week that there were “governments” that wanted to help with the “Just Not Bibi” campaigning -- Bibi being the Israeli leader’s nickname.

Hillary should’ve been arrested the day she indicated her alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood’s Morsi. Team Hussein is meddling in Israel the same way. Egypt came to its senses.. Will Israel? With Iran and Hussein helping them, this is truly a game of life or death for Israel.

BFD... not a thing will happen. The process moves to slow. By the time the courts or the congress even get going the assholes in the WH have already burned down five or six other things.

There is only one way to stop an arsonist.

He does so much corruption that he knows the media and the country cannot cover all of it at once.
As soon as he got in power he sped through the health care crap and has overloaded the system.
Alinsky would be so proud of him. What gets me is how stupid some people still are by supporting him.

Start the Impeachment proceedings already!

Why would this felony trump any other felony he and his regime have perpetrated?

The Republican Party are 5th columnists.....time to march on their convention en masse

This came up in posts back in February, and most of us FReepers questioned the funding back then. What took this Senate committee so long to figure that out?

I don’t understand why Israel hasn’t thrown them out of the country and held a press conference to tell the world why.

Because in Israel, there are unfortunately plenty of leftists who despise BiBi and want him gone..that is what Obama’s cronies are banking on

A number of detractors of President Obama think there may be ties between him and the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt. This very case could be a one of the proofs of that connection.

...how Obama’s people have been trying to “get out the vote” for BiBi’s opponent.

The implications are profound. What benefit does that get Obama? Or who else benefits?

Complete and utter waste of time. Lots of noise about investigations. Maybe a few hearings, and absolutely nothing will be said or done. Once any Republican catches a whiff of illegal activity the MSM will circle the wagons around Obama and shout “BOO” and all the Republicans will run screaming for cover. McConnell won’t be able to get to a microphone fast enough to blame the Tea Party. He will apologize and promise to put an end to any activity.

We have all seen this kabuki a thousand times now.
