Following a Channel 2 investigative report showing e-mail messages between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and his assistant Ovad Yechezkel, MK Aryeh Eldad (NU/NRP) said Wednesday that Olmert "runs the country like a crime boss." 

"If [AG Menachem] Mazouz continues to drag his feet on the investigation against the Prime Minister," Eldad added, "he will be proving that his own appointment was part of the same system."

Eldad added, following the publication of the email-messages between Ovad Yechezkel, that "whoever did not understand the secret of Olmert's political survival learned today how Olmert turned the civil service into a gold mind of political appointments and a job industry."
