You may remember the ridiculous doomsday prophecies and outrageous fear-mongering that defined the Republican campaign against President Obama’s nuclear peace deal with Iran. The motivation behind their unwise and ultimately ineffective resistance to the President’s diplomatic agenda has finally come to light. A new report from the Wall Street Journal reveals that NSA wiretaps found that the the Israeli Prime Minister and other officials of the Israeli governments attempted to, and most likely succeeded, to bribe American legislators in exchange for their support against the deal.
“A U.S. intelligence official familiar with the intercepts said Israel’s pitch to undecided lawmakers often included such questions as: “How can we get your vote? What’s it going to take? Mr. Netanyahu and some of his allies voiced confidence they could win enough votes.” The answers to Israeli proposals have yet to be fully revealed, but it is clear that favors were offered – bribes were proposed – and from the subsequent behavior of Republican lawmakers, we can only infer that our legislators accepted those bribes, from a foreign government in exchange for opposing the diplomatic efforts of the Obama Administration. At the very least, the very discussion itself indicates that they conspired with a foreign government to undermine the foreign policy agenda of their elected Commander-in-Chief, which certainly amounts to treason.

So...I wonder if Israel spent money that the USA gave them in the first place...?
Wouldn't that just be rich?

Be funny in a sad way but no it doeant work that way. ISRAEL would actually not bribe a member of congress well sort of. The way it works is Israel has a list of all Jewish organizations in the US. They call these groups to pressure their congressman or they can offer incentives to the congressman such as guaranteed support in his next election. No congressman is stupid enough to take money. That's not the way it works. Like any PAC what they do is offer support and offer to help find raise and make donations to their campaign fund and in some casses even offer votes in their district. The biggest problem we have is congreasman are always worried about their next election and making sure they stay in washington. We don't see this as much with the president because his term in office is limited.But senators and congressional representatives stay on the hill for decades.

Dems/Liberals will jump on this, because they have been looking bad lately, due to Hilary scandals and Obama's record as President is dismal at best.
What does it prove? We can't trust either side.
