I wonder if there will be an investigation. I wonder if it will take more than four years like the one currently regarding the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and Larry Franklin.
Law enforcement and intelligence sources told the American Prospect Online that, since the Jonathan Jay Pollard case, at least six sealed indictments have been issued against individuals alleging espionage on Israel’s behalf. None of these were prosecuted, but instead were handled “through diplomatic and intelligence channels.” Justice Department and intelligence officials expressed frustration that cases that could have been made successfully against Israeli spies never were brought to trial. This has led to informed speculation that the FBI leaked the Franklin story to keep it in the public eye and give it a fighting chance.
