A State Department official deleted emails that included information about a secret campaign to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the country’s last election, according to a Senate investigatory committee that determined the Obama administration transferred tax funds to anti-Netanyahu groups.
The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations disclosed in a massive report on Tuesday that the Obama administration provided U.S. taxpayer dollars to the OneVoice Movement, a liberal group that waged a clandestine campaign to smear and oust Netanyahu from office.
OneVoice, which was awarded $465,000 in U.S. grants through 2014, has been under congressional investigation since 2015, when it was first accused of funneling money to partisan political groups looking to unseat Netanyahu. This type of behavior by non-profit groups is prohibited under U.S. tax law.
The investigation determined that OneVoice redirected State Department funds to anti-Netanyahu efforts and that U.S. officials subsequently erased emails containing information about the administration’s relationship with the non-profit group.

Not surprising whatsoever!
ReplyDeleteImpeach him already!
ReplyDeleteLike they've done under Obama's watch. Eliminate the evidence that would convict of wrongdoing, even witnesses about to testify in court.
ReplyDeletedo you understand OUR tax dollars paid for this crap??? more corruption and deception.
ReplyDeleteIt is against the law, from my understanding, to delete or destroy ANY official government communications.
ReplyDeleteThose belong to "we, the people".
But, when there are two sets of laws, destroying evidence, manipulating evidence, and lying are only punishable for the serfs.
The masters run for President. And the media covers their ace for them.
They act with stunning impunity.
Why?
Because you're cheering so loudly!
You should be clamoring for prison time for these dirtbag criminal wanna-be dictators and Nazi impersonators.
