If you thought sending a letter to the Iranian Mullahs was bad, this could be worse

[Coyote]

Let this sink in for a moment, you have 47 Senators sending a letter to the Iranian Mullahs letting them know any nuclear deal Obama strikes with them with have to go through the Senate. The backlash is enormous, thus making one wonder if the letter was even worth it (it was).

Now, imagine if you have an American presidential administration possibly attempting to influence the elections of another sovereign nation. This could be the case here, as the U.S. Senate investigatory committee is investigating claims that the Obama Administration is funding efforts to unseat Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in this year's Israeli presidential elections. Whoa. Back up. They are accusing the Obama administration of doing what?

Read for yourself:

A powerful U.S. Senate investigatory committee has launched a bipartisan probe into an American nonprofit’s funding of efforts to oust Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the Obama administration’s State Department gave the nonprofit taxpayer-funded grants, a source with knowledge of the panel's activities told FoxNews.com.

The fact that both Democratic and Republican sides of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations have signed off on the probe could be seen as a rebuke to President Obama, who has had a well-documented adversarial relationship with the Israeli leader.

The development comes as Netanyahu told Israel’s Channel Two television station this week that there were “governments” that wanted to help with the “Just Not Bibi” campaigning -- Bibi being the Israeli leader’s nickname.

It also follows a FoxNews.com report on claims the Obama administration has been meddling in the Israeli election on behalf of groups hostile to Netanyahu. A spokesperson for Sen. Rob Portman, Ohio Republican and chairman of the committee, declined comment, and aides to ranking Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, of Missouri, did not immediately return calls.

The Senate subcommittee, which has subpoena power, is the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs’ chief investigative body with jurisdiction over all branches of government operations and compliance with laws.

“The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations does not comment on ongoing investigations,” Portman spokeswoman Caitlin Conant told Foxnews.com.

But a source familiar with the matter confirmed for FoxNews.com that the probe -- undisclosed until now -- was both underway and bipartisan in nature.

The republicans blatantly invited Netanyahu here for his speech hoping it would win the election for him. Were you ok with that?

Are you a mind reader that you can assign intent to people outside your own head? You of course, can prove that EVERY Republican did this on the hopes that Bibi would win reelection based upon this one speech......You can, right?

Oh, and before you deflect. Answer MY question first.

Everyone heard for weeks how bad it was to have him speak right before he was up for election. They thought it would give him the win, they guessed wrong.

Win or Lose the election, Bibi showed he was a LEADER, unlike the wimp, and whiner we have in the White House....Sometimes A MAN must show that his PRINCIPLES and concern for his country outweigh political concessions.... The Manchurian muslim will never and HAS NEVER done that!

That's unbelievably funny...Bibi seems to be a bigger hit with American conservatives than he is with Israeli voters. But you guys also think Putin is a "leader".

"Negotiating" with Iran is a political gesture with no historically justified expectation of deterring their often repeated goal to destroy America and Israel.

Obama is just trying to look like a significant world leader and peacemaker. Maybe he's after a second, undeserved Nobel Prize.

Bibi Using Congressional Address In New Campaign Ad Just As Critics Warned
WASHINGTON -- When House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) announced he had invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress just a few weeks ahead of an Israeli election, he was criticized for giving Netanyahu a platform to boost his campaign.

The United States has a policy of not meeting with foreign leaders in advance of elections, so as not to appear to be tilting the electoral balance. But Netanyahu insisted that his motivations had nothing to do with the election, and that the timing of the speech was demanded by the urgency of the Iran nuclear negotiations. There was simply no time to waste.

Already, however, Netanyahu is using his speech as a prop in a campaign commercial back in Israel, where the prime minister is shown basking in the applause of members of Congress who did not boycott his speech.

Can't find anything Marxist there....

but there is a hell of lot in Putin that is not so nice.

EXPOSED, FLASHBACK, 2008: Senator Barack Obama Sends Emissary To Iran To Tell Mullahs Not...

Pat Dollard ^
"EXPOSED, FLASHBACK, 2008: Senator Barack Obama Sends Emissary To Iran To Tell Mullahs Not To Sign Deal With Bush" Excerpted from Breitbart: President Obama set his Vice Presidential attack dog on the forty-seven GOP senators who dared send their March 9th letter to Iran’s leadership warning them any deal signed with Team Obama may be short-lived when a new president comes to office. But Biden, like his boss, fails to do his homework before making outlandish statements or else chooses conveniently to overlook the facts. Livid over the GOP letter, Biden proclaimed: “In thirty-six years in the United States Senate,...

Maybe this time they'll explain to Me why they are so outraged now but not then.

It's a circle jerk.... One right wing rag after another going to and linking to each other's reporting on it now in 2015. And supposedly from some site called PAJAMAS MEDIA supposedly back in 2008...yet all the links never lead to Pajamas media's reporting of it back in 2008....and you know the people on this board would have been ALL OVER IT if it had been reported in the right wing media..... and I just don't remember such.....wonder if we can Search USMB back that far, just to see the reporting on it back in 2008 by this PajamasMedia?

As he should, it was a speech the Marxist in the White House couldn't have presented!

Unnamed sources and no evidence.

Bibi and the Republicans are in bed together. Pathetic.

Ahh, and this is anger speaking, not Coyote.

Nope. Coyote. It's a Republican senate committee. Makes you wonder doesn't it? Witch hunt anyone? They've been trying and trying to find something on Obama and it's led nowhere. Benghazi is dead. So let's try this now. A waste of taxpayer money it will likely be.

The thing about "the Witch Hunt" charge is that it loses all its mojo, where there is an actual witch. Much as in the "Power-Abusing-criminal-politician Hunt" charge loses its mojo where one uses a euphemism is avoid using it, as a means to deflect attention from the Power-Abusing-criminal-politician... and its cult.

That would be "anonymous"...and it was a named, "former staffer". Slight difference.
