[Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA: Given Mr. Olmert's etrog status, anything short
of catching him killing someone in a live broadcast would probably not be
sufficient for an indictment as far as AG Mazuz is concerned. And even
then, Mr. Olmert's team has already noted that the law doesn't require a
prime minister to resign if he is indicted - he has to be convicted.]

'A million dollars to bring down Ehud Olmert'

Right wing elements in the US and Israel are willing to pay big money to
anyone who can come up with evidence against Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that
will be cause enough for him to step down as prime minister, Channel 2
reported Thursday.

The report showed a transcript of a conversation between a businessman and a
private investigator hired by the right-wing elements to garner the
information. The investigator asks the businessman if he has information
that could incriminate Olmert.

"In the beginning it may deter you a little but think about it, you don't
have to give me an answer now," the investigator tells the businessman. "A
number of senior personages on a global level are behind this initiative.
The situation today is that Olmert is bad for the Jews. You know no less
than me that he's very bad for the Jews. And there is a group of people who
have taken upon themselves [to oust him from power], very wealthy people -
on a global level."

When the businessman asks who these people are, the investigator answers:
"Good Jews, and I have been sent to take care of the matter and try to
remove this person (Olmert) from where he is.There is a large jackpot
involved."

"I am more interested in the ideology than the jackpot," the businessman
answers.

"Then you are better than I thought," the investigator says. "I wanted to
interest you in both the jackpot and the ideology. I am trying to find
material in all different places; that Olmert received bribes; that he
deceived."

"How much parnasa (editor's note: livelihood) is involved?" the businessman
asks.

"If we did a good job, one million dollars," the investigator says, and
explains what a good job would be: "If we caused someone in the State
Prosecution or the police or the media.to say: 'With this we're bringing him
down,' Olmert is going down, he's going home - that's good enough."
