I have to wonder how conspira-loons explain this kind of thing. I mean, can’t the International Bilderberger/Zionist cabal get him out of it? Or has he crossed them somehow and this is payback? If the latter, why don’t they just “disappear” him as they do all opponents (except, of course, the commercial conspiracy theorists themselves)? Is it all a sham to convince naive types like me that there really is a functional above-board system operating rather than a global conspiracy pulling all the strings?
The troof is out there......somewhere

Olmert is accused of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars from an American businessman by the name of Moshe Talansky.
He said that Olmert is "a greedy politician who enjoyed first-class travel, fancy hotels and expensive cigars."
And Olmert is unique because....?

'Olmert's former finance minister was sentenced to five years for embezzlement in June, and another member of his Cabinet was sentenced to four years for taking bribes. Israel's former ceremonial president, Moshe Katsav, is being tried on rape and sexual harassment charges, and a longtime Olmert aide has been charged with illegal wiretapping, fraud and breach of trust.'

He should have been indicted for his handling of the Lebanese war and for tolerating years of missile strikes from Gaza.
