FBI investigates Morris Talansky

for participating in the very financial irregularities he had accused Olmert of. Now that Talansky’s testimony against Olmert becomes self-incriminatory, Talansky refused coming to Israel for cross-examination.
It’s not yet clear who’s behind the FBI investigation. Olmert profits because Talansky’s refusal to testify hurts his credibility as a witness against Olmert. The prime minister’s leftist adversaries also profit from the FBI thing because Talansky’s cross-examination by Olmert’s lawyers would likely devastate his credibility, as well.
