In reply to the discussion: Damning New Evidence Shows How Israel Bribed Republican Traitors To Sabotage Obama On Iran Deal [View all]leveymg

Haim Saban is one of Hillary Clinton's biggest campaign contributors.
Contrary to reports that the Harman investigation was dropped for lack of evidence, it was Alberto R. Gonzales, President Bushs top counsel and then attorney general, who intervened to stop the Harman probe.
Why? Because, according to three top former national security officials, Gonzales wanted Harman to be able to help defend the administrations warrantless wiretapping program, which was about break in The New York Times and engulf the White House.
Who was Harman talking to when she was caught on tape by the NSA? Stein says she was speaking to a suspected Israeli agent. The Jewish Telegraph Agency suggests as did earlier reports, in 2006, when the story first broke that the person lobbying Harman to intervene in the AIPAC case was Haim Saban, a top Democratic fundraiser:
Similar reports surfaced in October 2006, just prior to the midterm elections. Those reports named the Israeli agent as Haim Saban, the Israeli-American entertainment magnate who is a major donor to the Democratic Party and to AIPAC.

Exactly what I thought. This time the Repubs didn't even try to hide their treason

And most of their "discretionary" income comes from places that are not traceable.

And there's 50 years of intercepts, some far more damning, where that came from.

Depends upon how you define "campaign contribution." In many cases, "bribery" fits.
