Politics

Corruption by all and political spectacle in France as Sarkozy questioned about corruption.

"The former president is accused of improperly using his influence by offering favors to two senior magistrates to find out details in an explosive 2007 case of illegal campaign financing. The late Col. Muammar Khadaffi claimed before his murder by French-linked insurgents that he had secretly given Sarkozy’s 2007 presidential campaign $68 million. Khadaffi knew too much…and was talking.
As the pirates used to say, dead men tell no tales."

Hillary Clinton cackled. I guess the fat lady sang. Sarkozy's treatment is reminiscent of the socialist candidate who was expected to when the presidency until he got busted in a honey-trap in New York shortly before the election that Hollande won.

"As I watched Sarkozy being carted off by the police,  I wondered, could this be payback by the left for the honey-trap that ended the career of former Socialist  luminary Strauss-Kahn?"

Apparently everybody thinks that.

"France’s problem with political sleaze stems in good part because its overly restrictive campaign laws cause presidential candidates to solicit “black” funds, then conceal them."

All politics is criminal.
