The State Department paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayers grants to an Israeli group that used the money to build a campaign to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in last year’s Israeli parliamentary elections, a congressional investigation concluded Tuesday.
Some $350,000 was sent to OneVoice, ostensibly to support the group’s efforts to back Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement negotiations. But OneVoice used the money to build a voter database, train activists and hire a political consulting firm with ties to President Obama’s campaign — all of which set the stage for an anti-Netanyahu campaign, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said in a bipartisan staff report.

Democrats are proving that they must really believe it's their right to use taxpayer money to influence elections.
I believe our current DOJ should conduct a thorough investigation of this corruption.
Are any of these transactions subject to a FOIA inquiry?
Is this a surprise to anyone?
Sorry but I don’t know.
All I know is that it’s very hypocritical of the democrats to be concerned that another nation could have possibly interfered with our election but they have no problem with obama interfering with another nation’s elections.
So, we tried to hack another country’s elections, eh? Huh. Who does Obama think he is, Putin?
It will take years to learn everything this POS has done.
Righteous anger rising. There needs to be justice.

We are still smothered by all the regulations Jimmy Carter put in place. Hopefully obama doesn’t hang around as long.
It truly is amazing.
Any republican would be in jail if they had done 1/10th as much as Clinton.
Maybe Trump can go on an apology tour and stop in Israel to apologize for Obama.

More evidence of the overt anti-Israel stance of the Obama administration. Through their actions casting Obama as Putin. I doubt there's anything illegal her, I hope we can expend funds to influence elections, or not, as in the green revolution.

Due to the fact that Netanyahu has been speaking the truth since 1993 President's Clinton, Bush, Obama all tried to silence him.
No President has been so openly hostile to Netanyahu and Israel than Obama.
Netanyahu warned the world about Obama’s rapprochement with Iran but he was brushed aside and ridiculed as a whiner.
Netanyahu is not the stumbling block to peace, the Paleostinians are and everybody knows it while not acknowledging it.
