Argentina's 'notebook' scandal: police confirm calligraphic alterations and dictation

[peppertree]

2. Much like Biden's 'bribery' tropes, right-wingers believe these notebooks to be the Gospel truth

There's no amount of evidence that can come out as to the now obvious fact they were fabricated, that will change their minds in the slightest (maybe for 1 or 2% of them, with luck).

The same goes for many other lawfare scandals.

d'Alessiogate, where Marcelo d'Alessio can be heard in his own voice admitting to framing and extortion?

"He must be a Kirchnerist plant" (despite being the darling of RW cable news for two years-plus until the scandal broke).

David Cohen - convicted of fabricating the 'evidence' used to jail former Public Works Minister Julio de Vido?

"So what? You know Jews."

The fact that right-wing courts themselves have had to find Mrs. Kirchner innocent of most of the myriad charges against her - including the much-touted "K-Money Route" case - which the court had to admit was a media concoction?

"Those judges and prosecutors have turned coat! The "black bitch" must have bought them off!!"

Which, of course, doesn't mean the suspicions against her didn't merit investigations - just as Macri's don't.

But the difference is, the courts have routinely let him skate - even with hard evidence against him, such as in the espionage cases or the Panama Papers and Postal Service fraud cases among others.

And as you know, justice that works with a double standard is no justice at all. Middle-class Argentines - who are routinely ignored (or worse) by Argentina's Opus-Dei dominated courts - should know that by know.

Qué será.

Thanks as always Judi, and have a great weekend.
