    Tiny Timerman should hang his head in shame over this. He has betrayed his own people in particular and Argentines in general.

    “However Judge Rafecas would have to order a political impeachment and request Congress to lift the president's Executive immunity”

    And good luck to doing that!

    More and more disparaging comments about TMBOA in Clarin yesterday.

    It's all going to go tits-up!

    There's a very funny article in the Buenos Aires Herald.

    http://www.buenosairesherald.com/article/181925/capitanich-arroyo-salgados-message-not-directed-to-the-government-

    Take a look at the second paragraph. Then move on to the 11th paragraph and read through to the end. Anybody notice contradictions?

    I agree Skip. We all suspect that suicides will be on the rise......even in the land of the Rising Roadkills.

    If the people, the few normal ones remaining that is keep the pressure up, they can't suicide everyone....can they? If you did live they you would have a sense of how bad live is now.

    New prosecutor, same empty accusation, designed to timely petty foggy the pre-election time.
    This time we hope prosecutor Pollicita does not suffer any mysterious event and is able to present and support the allegations originally penned by the late prosecutor Albert Nisman.
    We also hope the justice system works expeditiously to determine the merit of the accusation so that Argentines know the true of it all before going to the polls.
    Although...wait a minute. Would that make sense for the opposition? No sir. Let's the justice system chug along in its usual ways--years to solve a simple case--so that the cloud will hang over and reduce the chances of any candidate aspiring to succeed Cristina.
    Impeccable.

    It's your justice system, if that's what you can call it. Why is it that it takes so long to get to the truth in Argentina? Seems to me that everyone has a skeleton in their closet.

    But Nisman’s case is pretty obvious. In his briefing he quotes Iranian foreign minister himself. THE IRANIANS SAID AT THE TIME THEMSELVES THAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE RED NOTICES.

    Well done this paper. Mercopress were actually sourced in Nisman/Pollicita’s briefing

    CFK at the very least needs to testify.

    Pollicita’s discharge complete ( sorry for those foreigners who cant read spanish and read the K Buenos Aires Herald for Argentine news. Im talking of Enrique specifically)

    #14 CabezaDura:
    Well done. I've visited the link to the Mercopress story. It says:
    “Ali Akbar Salehi argued that according to the memorandum or understanding signed by Iran and Argentina to help with the investigation of the deadly 1994 bombing of the Amia Jewish community centre, Interpol must eliminate the charges against the Iranian authorities.”
    It continues below:
    “The statement from the top Teheran official to IRNA, the Iranian government news agency, clashes with the position from the Argentine government that last Friday celebrated the fact that the red notices had not been lifted...”
    Now I am quoting you, Cabeza Dura: “The iranians themselves said it.”
    And now I am asking you: The Iranians said it. So what?

    15. It means that Iran is contradicting the Argentine lies.

    The Iranians have no reason to lie, the Argentines do because they are the victim country that is supposed to find and bring to justice the perpetrators of the attack. Iran doesn’t give a rat fuck if Argentinas sell out and cover up is leaked. That is why CFK is hiding in Calafate right now. Salehi's comments were to the official Iranian media not to Clarin, La Nacion or any media you can claim as anti K. He was speaking to his own audience.

    Put a spin on that, little bitch. The 60 pages are rock solid and well fundamented. See that you were for a month like a retard saying that Nisman's case was baseless.. LOL. D'Elia, Esteche, Larroque and Khalil will end up forcing CFK to face the judge.

    The strategy of the Argentine opposition is crystal clear. They have got a prosecutor to present a poorly constructed accusation against president Fernandez, and now their goal is to keep it alive during the election campaign. if nothing is proved in the end, not one cares. The political goals will have been achieved. Without prosecutor Nisman, the opposition and its questionable candidates were going nowhere in the intentions of vote.

    @20 : If there is no case to answer , all the President has to do is defend herself by presenting her evidence in the normal way.
    Then again , if there is no case , why the bizarre attacks by Capitanich on the opposition and judges accusing who agrees with them of being torturers and baby thieves ?
    Apart from Zimbabwe , I don't know of any other country where the ruling party attack the opposition in such a frenetic and bizarre fashion .

    Teflon coated Government and a slopey shouldered President, apathy among the people and a spinless opposition. You reap what you sow. Some one has to stand up and be counted or this will just flitter away over time. We are overdue a Falklands stunt to distract the masses...

    It amazes me that so many Argentine politicians think they have the Right to pronounce on a case that is sub-judice,
    This is illegal in ' regular' countries and considered pre-judiced as it may influence any trial...

    Ah, but we are talking about Argentina here, no “ libel laws and no slander laws” so you can say and write what you want and get away with it, no wonder it is such a fucked up country.
