The Guardian: Argentina’s Cristina Fernández sentenced to six years in $1bn fraud case
Vice-president and former president also given lifelong ban on holding public office after being found guilty
Argentina’s vice-president and former president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, has been sentenced to six years in prison and given a lifelong ban on holding public office after being found guilty in a $1bn fraud case related to public works.
Fernández de Kirchner – who was president of Argentina for two terms between 2007 and 2015 – was found guilty of fraud on Tuesday, though she is unlikely to serve any prison time soon as she has immunity due to her government roles and is expected to launch a lengthy appeals process that could take years.

WNU Editor: She is not going to jail. She has immunity because of her role in the government and I would not be surprised if she launches a lengthy appeals process that could take years.

Argentina is a beautiful country ruled by self seeking jerks.
South American politics are a mess. Usually {in some countries) as soon as the president leaves office they are charged with some type of crime. It is the revenge cycle of the political parties.
Sound familiar???
Yes, the USA is going down that same path.

It is happening now in the US.
Two examples of Trump:
(1) A man listened to the people. He built a border wall. He was criticized. He promised to put beautiful doors in the wall. Flowery language, but, he meant it. After the wall was built, I believe that he would have pushed an amnesty bill through Congress. He would have satisfied most people in the long run. In return he wanted adulation, approval or whatever you call it. Is that a fair exchange? It is cheap. It is a better deal than we got from most of the other 535+ people.
(2) And yet the adulation that he sought was less than that of Congress. Congress and others would make presidents of historical Black colleges bow and scrape every year for money. The politicians would get their photo op. Trump signed a 5 year deal. That is 4 years of missed photo ops. Now, who is the narcissist?
How have the west come to this... Politicians with immunity... Same here in Sweden. Recipe for the drastically decline in democracy in the world.
Where is Spiro Agnew now that we need him?
Old Spiro...what a great guy.
I still remember him calling Swathmore College the
"Kremlin on the Crum"
Laughed like hell.!!!!
