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

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.

The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations is one of the most powerful investigating committees in Congress. I know. I sat thru their 25 volume hearings on terrorism and riots during the 1970’s and was amazed at the quality of their investigations and witnesses.

Volume 18 was a nearly complete history of SDS up till that time, and the Organizational Charts is invaluable. Lots of old SDSers became Weathermen, founders/leaders of Progressives for Obama, in the Marxist Democratic Socialists of America, and leaders of other radical organizations TODAY.

PS: Sen. Joseph McCarthy did his investigations of the Army and Communist Infiltration with this subcommittee which he chaired.

Let’s hope they have that fire in the belly approach to Obama and his anti-Netanyahu hit-squad that previous chairmen/investigators had.

If so, expect jail-time for the Obamites.
