Netanyahu to be indicted for corruption

Gee, how come all of Donnie's pals turn out to be crooks?

<snip>

Jerusalem (CNN)Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be indicted on bribery and breach of trust charges arising from three separate corruption investigations, pending a hearing, Israel's attorney general announced Thursday evening.
The announcement, so close to April's general election, marks a dramatic moment in Israeli politics and is a major blow to Netanyahu as he seeks a fifth term in office.
