Maverick judge Claudio Bonadio is again working on his favourite pass time: to jail Cristina Fernandez.

This recent and perhaps one of the final acts of “Dr. Glock” is just posturing, as said trial cannot start before year's end.

Once the tight grip of Mauricio Macri on a number of judges is released and illegitimate appointments cleared out, the judiciary will be able to clean up its act.

Then, trials based on notebooks' photocopies and repentant confessions given by witnesses threatened with jail will quickly become just bad memories of one of Argentina's most shameful periods in terms of administration of justice.
