    They've gotta get this stuff buried and out of the way before the October elections - but will it stay buried, really?

    If Nisman was so far from the truth, why did he have to die?

    Something is very, very wrong here.

    The truth was buried with Nisman.

    An excellent question indeed. Had Nisman remained alive, the matter would have had the same outcome. But his untimely death became centre stage, diverting the attention from rational analysis.
    Prosecutor Fein still has to report on the analysis of Nisman's computers and phones. The many conversations some people had with during the prosecutor's last hours may reveal interesting elements.

    Nisman's phones register numerous conversations with former intelligence czar Jaime Stiuso and opposition legislators Laura Alonso and Patricia Bullrich during the prosecutor's last hours. Any induced suicide investigation would have these individuals as primary persons of interest.

    Argentina's migration records show that prosecutor Alberto Nisman spent as many as 411 days out of the country in the last decade, on 59 trips he did not declare as holidays.
    In the meantime, Nisman's ex-wife is claiming one million pesos for unpaid vacation time the prosecutor had “accumulated.”
    There is no link between the prosecutor's travel destinations and his job.
    As many as 17 trips were to the U.S.A. In 2010, Nisman travelled four times to the U.S.A., where he spent a total 48 days. He also visited Chile, Mexico, Brazil and Spain.
    The Argentine opposition newspaper Clarín has dropped its “La muerte de Nisman” special section.

    Evidently, it's not just Nisman who was unable to come up with anything that might reasonably be regarded as evidence.

    @8 Follow the trails to the mossad that owns argentina. Argentina is Cristina, Kiciloff, and Timerman's plantation and you want to blame a bunch of Shiite muslims? Cristina's Iran and China ties are laughable when everyone knows this regime is creating an economic apocalypse. And about Jews not supporting Israel? That's true all over latin america...it's timerman's job to pretend to be that and be as vile as possible.

    Your point being....?

    My point being that the campaign to discredit Nisman is no more supported by concrete evidence than Nisman's original accusations. It's all smear.
