Did Feds Push AIPAC?
2006-07-25
A motion to dismiss a classified information case against two former pro-Israel lobbyists alleges that federal prosecutors pressured the American Israel Public Affairs Committee into firing its employees and cutting off their legal fees. The motion filed Tuesday says the prosecutors made the firing of Steve Rosen, AIPAC's former foreign policy director, and Keith Weissman, its former Iran analyst, a condition of dropping an investigation of AIPAC itself. The motion marks the first time it has been revealed in an unsealed court document that the organization was ever the subject of an investigation. Prosecutors did not return requests for comment. A spokesman for AIPAC said the motion was "selective" and a "significant distortion" of the facts, and insisted that AIPAC's decisions were its own.
