The Obama administration attempted to influence the results of Israels election by funneling U.S. taxpayer funds to a political group opposed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyhau, according to a congressional report.
The U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) said the State Department gave $349,276 in U.S. taxpayer-funded grants to the OneVoice Movement, which had built a political infrastructure aimed at defeating Netanyahus re-election bid in 2015.

But Obama interefering with Isreals election is just fine.
To Democrats, whatever a Democrat does is ok. When a Republican, or anyone a Republican may have commented on in a nice way, does ANYTHING, it is pure evil!
Lock him up!
Yes, that is how the MSM and McCain/Graham view it.
Hypocrites and Evil.
Hypocrites and Evil.
These are questions that the media never asks the Obama administration about.

Didn’t Obama interfere in Africa and even cause post election violence

Do you think Graham and McCain might jump to the other side of the aisle?
You mean, officially? Not just in practice?
Officially would be one question. I believe Senators have switched before.
Second question would be: will their practice nullify the Republican majority in the Senate?
I thought so.
And billions to Iran to keep it’s rulers flush in cash and in charge.
You can count Graham and McCain out for votes that matter to us, so consider the Senate 50-50 with Pence being the tie-breaker. Manchin seems like he wants to play with us, so another factor.
There was Jumpin’ Jim Jeffords, and I believe Joe Lieberman switched from Dem to Ind. but still largely caucused with the RATS except for defense and Israel issues.
Where is John McCain leading the charge for an investigation?
