Like most Americans, I have not been following this story very closely. Is it the general impression among Israelis that Olmert got away with something?
Yes, he destroyed Sharon’s vision of disengagement from the PA, he made Abbas look like a peace partner, he had 2 mismanaged wars which hurt Israel’s image and deterrence.
Up to the 2nd Lebanon war he thought Abbas isn’t a partner and that disengagement will free Israel from PA. After that war and protests, he decided betray his voters and sell himself to the extreme left.

I meant at trial, but this was helpful, too. Thanks, Jed.
Everything stinks. Olmert. The Attorney General’s office. The judicial system. Each element in its own very special way.
The vain, incompetent, insolent and cowardly nonentity Olmert is already planning is political comeback.
