What did liberals have to say about meddling in elections when it came to light that Obama sent $350,000 to an anti-Netanyahu group in Israel to try to unseat him and that five former Obama campaign officials went to Israel to work with the group? Although Obama claimed that his State Department did not know that the group, named One Voice, would use the money to campaign against Netanyahu, the group had been openly anti-Netanyahu since 2013. Furthermore, five former Obama campaign officials went to Israel to work with One Voice, including Jeremy Bird, Obama's 2012 national campaign field director. Bird surely would not have done this if Obama had disapproved.
One can only imagine what liberals would be saying if five former senior Putin campaign officials had come to the U.S. to work for an anti-Hillary group in the 2016 election.

Obama’s 2012 national field director, Jeremy Bird, was headed to Tel Aviv to manage a grass-roots campaign to oust Prime Minsiter Netanyahu. I noted at the time that Bird would not be working to defeat Netanyahu if he thought Obama opposed it (can you imagine Karl Rove going to London while George W. Bush was in office to help conservatives oust Prime Minister Tony Blair?) and that the group behind Bird’s anti-Netanyahu effort – OneVoice – had received State Department funding and listed the State Department as a “partner” on its Web site.
