PM says willing to cooperate with comptroller on Pollard affair (?!)

20 May 2008 15:18:51 GMT

Tomer Zarchin, Haaretz Correspondent - May 19, 2008

He still refuses to be deposed in person; is not willing to meet with the State Comptroller; and will not respond to questions in person. The only "cooperation" Olmert is extending is to send his lackeys (Oved Yechezkel, and Shalom Turjeman) to lie for him.
