Ay-Pee
Former Argentine President Cristina Fernandez was indicted Tuesday in a corruption case involving public works.
Federal Judge Julian Ercolini approved charges of illicit association and fraudulent administration against Fernandez, and two former aides: ex-Planning Minister Julio de Vido and former Public Works Secretary Jose Lopez.
Also named was businessman Lazaro Baez, whose Austral Construcciones company allegedly benefited from irregular contracts. The judge's order froze the equivalent of up to $633 million of each defendant's assets, though it was not clear they have that much.
The ruling published by official Center of Judicial Information said the defendants are accused of associating to illegally take public fund meant for public works between May 2003 and December 2015.
Fernandez made no immediate comment on the charge, but she has repeatedly denied wrongdoing. "No, no, imposible!"
Since leaving office in December 2015, Fernandez has alleged that she is the victim of persecution by her conservative successor, Mauricio Macri. "Pobrecita yo!"
In May, a judge indicted Fernandez on charges of manipulating currency exchange futures markets, allegedly causing economic damage to the government.

The harsh language being levied from Jerusalem against the Obama administration in the wake of a UN resolution condemning Israeli settlements is "unprecedented" and "unacceptable," a former US ambassador to Israel said Monday. Unprecedented actions lead to unprecedented responses, uncle Tom Dan

"Unprecedented" and "unacceptable" language used against the President? "O" deserves it all and then some. They probably wouldn't like the language that the I and the majority of other Americans use to describe this corrupt president and his administration.
[Breitbart] Ukraine’s decision to vote in favor of the resolution appears to demonstrate the extent to which US President Barack Obama was behind the decision. According to officials in Israel, Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, a Jew who is thought of as one of Israel’s main supporters, wanted that his country not be involved in the consultations held on the resolution.
However, Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko decided to vote in favor of its passage following a telephone conversation with US Vice President Joe Biden.
"The text of the resolution is balanced," Kiev asserted. "It calls for taking measures necessary for peaceful solution from both Israeli and Palestinian sides: Israel should stop its settlement activities while Palestinian authorities ‐ to take effective measures toward fighting against terrorism."
[snip] "The notion that there is any moral equivalence between Jews building homes in their homeland that they won back in a defensive war (after it was illegally occupied by Jordan) and brutal terrorists illegally occupying land that was never given to them, is reprehensible. But first, a brief history lesson …
The only binding resolution of international law, a resolution which has never been countermanded to this very day, is the July 1922 Mandate for Palestine. Adopted by the League of Nations, that resolution recognized the “historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country.” It called for the creation of a Jewish national homeland anywhere west of the Jordan River.

If he keeps playing around, Mr. Zero may find himself forever known as the President who tipped the US out of the UN and the UN thence into obscurity.
I could actually get on board with legacy bit like this!

More to come. Something January 15th they say. O wants to twist the knife in the back. This fellow is not going away. He is capable of anything at this point.

O should be careful. Of all the state actors that could successfully reach out and 'touch' him after he leaves office. Israel would be top of the list, Russers too.
