Hello, Bibi!!
Goodbye, world!!!!
"Businessman says he gave Olmert $150,000; Testifies transfers always required to be in cash" by Amy Teibel, Associated Press | May 28, 2008
JERUSALEM - A Jewish-American businessman testified yesterday in a corruption probe that threatens to bring down Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, saying he handed cash-stuffed envelopes to the Israeli politician he described as a bon vivant with a penchant for fancy hotels, fine cigars, and first-class travel .
Olmert is a CRIMINAL SCUM -- just like most of Israel's leaders, from what I've read on the blogs.
LOADED with corruption, which is why I don't cover much.
Only so much time in the day!!!!
Morris Talansky's testimony offered an unflattering portrait of Olmert just as the already unpopular Israeli leader seeks to rally reluctant public support for peace talks with Syria and the Palestinians.
Yeah, right, Olmert is a good guy. Pffffffffttt!!!
Police suspect Olmert illicitly took up to $500,000 from Talansky in illegal campaign contributions or bribes before becoming prime minister in 2006. Olmert, who denies wrongdoing, says the funds were legal contributions but has promised to step down if indicted.
Legal affairs analyst Moshe Negbi said Talansky's testimony suggests Olmert could face charges of bribery and breach of trust. "I don't think that there were ever such grave suspicions against a prime minister in Israel," Negbi said....
That's because they are all criminals!!!!
Didn't Israel's president just beat rape charges?
Israel TV said that Defense Minister Ehud Barak, leader of the Labor party, Olmert's main partner in the governing coalition, was considering calling on Olmert to suspend himself from office or resign. Opposition politicians called publicly for his resignation.
Talansky told the court he turned over about $150,000 of his own money to Olmert, directly and through political aides, at meetings in New York and Jerusalem over a 15-year period.
He said much of the money was raised in New York "parlor meetings," where Olmert would address American donors who then would leave contributions on their chairs.
Throughout his eight-hour testimony, Talansky spoke of his love for Israel and his conviction that Olmert was the right man to lead the country. For that reason, he said, he "overlooked" nagging doubts about why Olmert insisted on receiving the money in cash....
Talansky said he thought most of the money he gave to Olmert was for political campaigns. But Olmert also asked him for a personal loan of $25,000 to $30,000 to vacation in Italy and sought money for personal expenses, including upgrades to first-class air travel, he said.
Ehud likes LIVING the HIGH LIFE, doesn't he?
How's it feel to be on the other end of the rip-off, Jews?
Talansky, 75, said he didn't know how his money was spent. "I only know that he loved expensive cigars. I know he loved pens, watches. I found it strange," he said. In one case, he said, he walked to a bank to withdraw $15,000 in cash for a loan as Olmert waited in a luxury hotel.
Talansky said Olmert never repaid either loan.
Typical Zionist asshole!!!!
Kinda funny when you consider the evil of USURY promoted by Jewish bankers -- although I'm not laughing!!!!!!!
The investigation is the fifth that police have launched into Olmert's affairs since he took office in 2006, and there is widespread speculation that the politician might not be able to weather the latest accusations.
Translation: They need to dump him before attacking Iran.
Maybe Sharon will come out of the coma and fulfill prophecies, 'eh, readers?
Getting close to three years, right?
Olmert's downfall could dash US-backed efforts by Israel and the Palestinians to work out a final peace agreement by the end of the year."
Yeah, right! Pfffffffttt!
This just an excuse so Israel can put some hard-line Zionist in there who can lead Israel forward in more wars!!!!
