What happened to the 2004 espionage case involing ex-pentagon Iran analyst Lawrence Franhklin? He pleaded guilty to espionage and agreed to cooperate. Cooperate with whom? Perhaps not to make it a larger case against AIPAC or Israel? Others that were involved included ex-employees of AIPAC, Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman. Also Noar Gilon and two other unidentified employees of the Israeli Embassy in Washington were included. Rosen and Weissman were charged with one count of conspiracy not espionage. Boy does the US go for the throat. Gilon and the other Israeli nationals who received classified information were not charged. AIPAC was not charged nor Israel. But top US prosecutor Paul McNulty who broke the case was immediately pulled off the case and promoted to the # 2 spot at the Dept. of Justice. Maybe the light treatment of AIPAC, Israel and the embassy employees played a part in his advancement.
So we are to believe that Rosen and Weissman gathered classified information about Iran for their own use and did nothing with it. Well if you believe that you probably believe Ariel Sharon was a man of peace.
Interestingly the legal mouthpiece for the ex-AIPAC employee Steven Rosen is Abbe Lowell. He is the same Abbe Lowell who is the very expensive lawyer for Jack Abramoff. Is there a connection between AIPAC and Abramoff? Abramoff is supposed to be broke. Abbe Lowell is very expensive. How can a former employee of AIPAC and a broke ,prison-bound lobbyist afford him? Enter AIPAC ? They always get their men out.

Abbe Lowell was in the news today. He got a permanent security clearance for Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner. AIPAC is still pulling the strings.
