Disclaimer & comment rulesTrying to work out why this is news.... or even surprising.
Mar 20th, 2015 - 08:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0It's great news. Paul Singer has joined the millions of angry individuals that are demanding justice for the murder and now defamation of Nisman.
Mar 20th, 2015 - 09:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Singer is also Jewish, which gives him even more reason.
Mr Singer has every 'just' cause to use any avenue to expose argieland for what it is. We all know what it is. If there was any justice from the UN, the argie 'government' would be rushing between between the ICJ and the ICC. Under armed guard. Would it get 10 years, 20, 30, 40? Several trillion DOLLARS in fines. At least twice as much in compensation. Which 'members' could benefit from fast-track justice and just be hanged for contempt?
Mar 20th, 2015 - 12:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Teh AZ judge is allowing NML to subpoena the law firm the Ks used to set up their shell companies. She agreed that this is looted funds and may allow them to be seized.
Mar 20th, 2015 - 12:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Glorious.
From the article above: “Like Nisman, Morgenthau’s investigation of specific activities uncovered vast networks of money laundering, organized crime, and terrorism.”
Mar 20th, 2015 - 02:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Interesting. Apparently, Nisman learned money laundering and organized crime methods and may have used some of those same methods to make some extra bucks while investigating the AMIA bombing case.
His former close collaborator Diego Lagomarsino has testified (not yet proven in court) that for seven years, he deposited half his monthly wages in a Merril Lynch NY branch account controlled by Nisman.
“On Thursday, Cabinet Chief Anibal Fernandez told reporters Nisman was a 'scoundrel' who used government funds to pay for hookers, booze and trips to the beach instead of using it to find out who planted the truck bomb that killed 85 people at the AMIA Jewish center 21 years ago.”

Nisman's trips to the Caribe and Europe would have been taken during the prosecutor's work time, allowing him to cash unused vacation time. Lagomarsino's testimony appears to be a counter attack to Nisman's former wife Arroyo Salgado, who has accused the computer technician of Nisman's death.
“On Thursday, Cabinet Chief Anibal Fernandez told reporters Nisman was a 'scoundrel' who used government funds to pay for hookers, booze and trips to the beach...“

Quique, Your posts turn my stomach. You are a terrible terrible person spreading lies and propaganda from a country you've not set foot in for 40 yrs.
Mar 20th, 2015 - 04:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They were right to pursue you.
Too bad they didn't catch you in time.
Stroll with the Troll.

Mar 20th, 2015 - 05:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I would say sorry for making you feel bad, but I am not. In fact, I must confess I fail to regret upsetting your stomach. In my defense, I will say I am not advocating, as you are, the murder of those who think different from me.
“They were right to pursue you,” notes yankeeboy. “Too bad they didn't catch you in time.”
To the intention of other readers, yankeeboy regrets I was not among the victims of the military dictatorship that tormented my home country Argentina from 1976 to 1983.
In previous postings, he has openly praised the military “flights of death” in which opponents to the military were kidnapped, tortured and eventually drugged, loaded into planes, and dropped alive into the ocean from high altitude.
Argentina is still prosecuting those crimes against humanity.
9. I can't tell by your postings and your age that your life has been a net negative to society.
Mar 20th, 2015 - 05:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You've spent your whole life protected by one of the great countries in the World who graciously took in your worthless skin yet you learned nothing in 40 yrs. No rule of law, no due process, no self reliance, nothing that a good citizen should have learned.
You never grew up and you're still a commie terrorist.
Its sad and sickening.
#10 yankeeboy:
Mar 20th, 2015 - 10:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“No rule of law, no due process...you're still a commie terrorist.”
Firstly, I emphatically deny your accusation on both counts. I am a law-abiding Argentine-Canadian citizen, have been so since I came to reside in this country in the 1990s, and before that as well.
“Not rule of law, no due process...”
2. I could teach you a thing or two about law and due process. The first is, be careful about leisurely accusing an individual without basis. You may be infringing the law.
3. I post my real name, hide nothing, fear nothing and believe in free debate of ideas.
4. You are slandering me in a public forum conveniently hiding behind a nickname.
5. Know that your insults say much about who you are--nothing about me.
6. I did explain your position about crimes against humanity in the Argentine of the 1970s and will continue to do so because I was impressed somebody would openly support those crimes in print. And, I note it again: you don't dare to back your statements with your real name.
Quique, Obviously I hit home. I hit a nerve didn't I? :)
Mar 21st, 2015 - 11:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0Everything I know about you I gleaned from your posts. Everything I know you've said or implied yourself.
Most everyone on here, except for the Sistahs ( Kidiots, Peronists Scumbags) agrees with me that you are some kind of half brained twisted liar commie slimeball. Do you not read the retorts to your lies and half truths?
Look up the legal definition of Slander and get back to me. Maybe you were out that day in law school. Silly fool.
Clearly elected representative gov't has failed in Argentina. I think it would be better served under a Military Dictatorship. I bet there's a lot of people in Argentina ( you wouldn't know since you've not been there for 40 yrs) that agree with me.
Posting your real name is not a badge of honor it is showing you to be a moron. At least to the rest of us.
Enrique lives in Canada?
Mar 21st, 2015 - 01:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0OMG you couldn't make this shit up!
13. None of the K apologists live in Argentina nor have they been there since the 70s.
Mar 21st, 2015 - 01:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That's why they have no idea how disgustingly corrupted it has become.

Mar 21st, 2015 - 08:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think you mean libel...slander is spoken and must be heard, libel is written...

Mar 22nd, 2015 - 08:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well. You did not reiterate and even less attempted to justify your “terrorist” accusation. That's some progress.
On the other hand, whether the legal term is slander or libel (thanks, Voice) you are probably aware that accusing someone of being a terrorist is not small thing. I will leave it at that if you refrain from doing it again.
I do not mind if you call me other names as you have. Your abundant use of insults only shows how short of arguments you are.
I do not mind people or even you using nicknames to post here. However, throwing serious and baseless accusations while hiding behind a pen name does not say much about basic ethical principles.
I know many agree with your statements in this forum. It does not change in one iota the nature of the arguments.
Your statement above:
“Clearly elected representative gov't has failed in Argentina. I think it would be better served under a Military Dictatorship.”
Wow. You even used capitals for military dictatorship. You really are to be commended for your frankness yankeeboy. Not even your enemies could do better picturing your set of beliefs.
