When the judge sentenced former PM Ehud Olmert to 6 years in prison, he said that one who takes bribes is not simply corrupt, but he is a traitor..
Calling him a traitor seems a bit harsh. He is a criminal, he is corrupt, he is immoral.. but a traitor? did he sell State secrets to Iran?
Ironically enough, after Olmert's participation in the Disengagement and then the Gaza and Lebanon II wars, calling Olmert a traitor would have landed a person in jail. Now, for financial and moral crimes, calling him a traitor is legally mandated.
