With the Democrats blasting Russia for "interfering" in U.S. elections, I think it’s time to discuss the recent history of U.S. interference in elections elsewhere.
1: Team Obama tried to defeat Bibi Netanyahu in Israel
In 2015, the Obama administration illegally funneled money to leftist opposition groups in Israel to help them bring down the government led by Benjamin Netanyahu: $350,000 was given to a group called One Voice Movement (OVM).
This group said it wants to bring about "peace negotiations between Israel and Palestine." It goes without saying that OVM was and is against Netanyahu. That's bad enough, but leftover money was used to set up a leftist election machine in Israel that took on the Israeli leader.
Five American campaign experts were hired. One of them was President Obama's field director during the 2012 elections.
2: Team Obama tried to bring down the right-of-center government in Macedonia
Most Americans probably don't know where Macedonia is, but that didn't prevent the Obama administration from meddling in that country's internal affairs. Judicial Watch uncovered the relevant government documents:
[The documents] show the U.S. government has quietly spent millions of taxpayer dollars to destabilize the democratically elected, center-right government in Macedonia by colluding with leftwing, billionaire philanthropist George Soros. We're talking about millions of dollars funneled from the State Department and USAID to Soros' groups in Macedonia. These groups' main purpose was to bring down the country's center-right government. The Obama administration actively helped those groups, and this work continued afterward.

Yet we didn't hear one word of criticism...

Obama funneled millions to defeat Netanyahu. The $350k was just one cash payment. Jeremy Bird and a task force were sent to Israel. They didn’t do that for $350k!
When you speak to money used, it would not surprise me if they reached into democratic national committee pockets as well.
Traitor Rats buy blowback for all Americans with taxpayer dollars.
I couldn’t get third page to come up — did you include Hillary’s massive interference in Ukraine? I think State Dept machinations, directly and through NGOs, triggered the loss of Crimea and the eastern part of the country, and a long ugly “civil war”. Putin bears responsibility, but Hillary tugged his chain with characteristic “extreme carelessness” about the likely effects. She learned nothing from what happened in Georgia just a short time before.
