You must mean the tramp foundation, as Hillary and Bill had a real foundation and they actually did charitable work.
When did tramp stop self dealing, only when he got caught and had to pay 2 million to charitable causes.
but a tramper doesn't care if tramp is a crook.
Why is the clinton foundation taking money from Victor Pinchuk
So you have no opinion about Bibi, another crook.
Do you know what he did exactly, that opened the case with the attorney general?
Having "no opinion" is the smartest thing anyone can declare of having.
has been charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in three different scandals — the first time a sitting prime minister is charged with a crime in Israel.
--------------------------
seems like the rule of law stands in Israel, unlike the US of late. Sure he might of been set up, but I doubt it.
He should stand to trial first.
I'm honest enough to say I really am not that informed about all of this. I know the accusations, but I know it has started in many more and alot of the things they wanted to charge him with didn't stick or collapsed like a house of cards.
If he indeed did those things, let him rot. If he did not, let him retire peacefully.
Never mind the result, the Likud should go on primaries as soon as possible. If Sahar gains leadership, I may consider voting for them again.
Let's put aside for a moment the principle of accountability before law, that is clear.
And let's put aside political views and votes.
Don't You see the timing?
PM Netanyahu had 17 cases closed, and Gen. Gatz will have a new one, investigation starts next week. The AG has confirmed himself this will be a precedent, to judge an active PM for favorable coverage in media as a cause for a case.
It doesn't take to look into details of each case, just see how much leaks there're were on a daily basis,actual leaks, not some he said she said, documentation from the investigations.
And who investigates them, an AG who might be in the same court of judge Hayout,
who only addressed State Attorney's Natzan shenanigas when it was uncovered he directed her judges on what to say in the media, but nothing about the daily leaks of the investigation to the same media. The whole process has been contaminated, and all the key decisions have always played at a specific timing of a present govt weakness - right before the elections or right after there have been given last 21 days to form a govt - when the true negotiation start and a lot can be achieved.
Heading the investigation is State Attorney Nitzan.
And who is appointed in a committee to decide whether PM Netanyahu should remain in office?
When?
Next week or so, why?
And when does Shai Nitzan vacate his seat as State Attorney?
Next week or so.
The Coup argument, and in my view sound, is besides the contamination of the whole process,
meaning that not only the media was used by the prosecution to influence the political outcome of elections but also to influence witnesses.
The Judiciary branch, especially after the Barak reforms, and I think You'll have what to say on this, has gained power to judge laws and virtually any govt decision or policy that is directly subject to electoral opinion, but not based on the laws of the state as in common law, but rather according to their own interpretations - as is in one of the cases. As far as we know judges to the High Court of Justice are not an elected branch, and until directly pressured they only recently allowed some judges who hold different opinions from legal and political perspectives, or didn't study in Harvard.
- AG said it's going to be a legal precedent,
- The investigation has been contaminated from a procedural perspective and politically,
- The branch that gives the verdict is the one with the highest authority over govt decisions, and the only one that investigates itself.
The majority of electorate voted for parties that vote for PM Netanyahu, and have no problem with neither law enforcement nor for a unity govt with Gen. Gantz. They already jointly agreed on military procedure and all involved around, And indeed it was clear for both of their voters that the age of PM Netanyahu's rule was concluding, naturally without any investigations.
But the investigations themselves are used by the Judiciary branch, over which there's no higher authority. Those who chair them are of specific political agenda, that has been sitting in the opposition for decades, and they themselves choose the coming judges - they're not elected, but they judge the govt and the laws of each govt, influence the elections and run the ballot counts.
This is a very significant power-move, they can remove a PM, open a case against the next one on the list - and no one has a higher authority, certainly not the electorate.
In conclusion:
Much of this could be prevented if we used the example of the US system, specifically where judges, before taking high position in the branch go through a hearing in the govt, and if I'm not wrong - the representatives of the electorate have a power of veto candidates for judges in the high court.
