New FBI Files Alleging AIPAC Theft of Government Property and Israeli Espionage Released

Vatic Note:  Remember, immediately after Obama took office, he stopped all prosecution of the members of AIPAC that got caught doing this.  I could not believe it.  It truly showed how controlling the foreign lobby was of our top leaders in government regardless of party.
