emails? How about Netanyahu's corruption trials?
Netanyahu was unable to win the 61 seats he had set as his goal to form a government that would grant him immunity from prosecution in the three cases against him pending a hearing. The public said no on Tuesday to the political escape plan he concocted together with his natural partners, the plan that would allow him to evade prosecution and bring down the rule of law in Israel.
I don’t pretend to have followed Netanyahu’s corruption prosecutions that closely, but there is clearly something wrong with a narrow popular vote being a get-out-of-jail free card. The same goes for us - the absolute pardon power vested in the President will almost certainly be tested when Trump leaves office.
Can it be fixed? I dunno. Should it be fixed? Definitely.
