i hope not, at least for a decade or two if she lives that long or if pubic opinion changes very heavily once the true extent of her presidency is known, they really don't want to make a martyr of her.

Much rather they went after the henchmen first and sent them to jail.

We all want Macri to be successful. But he enters office knowing that half the country either didn't want him or have serious doubts. 100% of his administration's energies must be seen - and understood - to be improving Argentine life. There is no time for him to be seen as engaging in vendettas or revenge.

For whatever crimes cfk may have committed there will be plenty of time to sort them out (see: Dirty War criminals). If M gets into a major pissing contest with the PJ in general, which would likely happen if he went after cfk, it's hard to see how he could survive politically. He's got to get a few PJ votes in Congress. Going after Cris insures that he doesn't.

So the answer, for me, is NO now, but YES eventually.

I want to have the only key and I'll threw it away as soon as she is locked up!

Serious question: do you think it can be done without destroying Macri's presidency?

Macri going after CFK directly now would be MAD.

And like the original MAD, it can be used to ensure a cold peace rather than hot war.

When Obama was elected in the US, there were many who wanted him to prosecute Bush and Cheney for war crimes. Wisely, he did not, because he chose to put the country's energy into repairing the economic damage and on concentrating on the future rather than the past. Macri is in the same situation. And he also has a huge, hostile congressional block opposing him. I think he, also, will try, despite the obstacles, to look to the future instead of the past.

It is just a wild dream of mine!

Seems Macri woke up good and early and got to work without hesitation. It's been a active day according to Clarin.

Took the helicopter to ruta 8 to advise the foreman that work must be completed in 3 months, met with representatives of major religions, then with the leaders of each of the political parties.

It's a good start.

And this story about Korruption was of particular interest. Reveals some of the behind-the-scenes activities between CFK and Macri since the elections.

15 years from now CFK will be given Prision domicilairia, House arrest, she will be over 75...! B) B)

Same as Menem today

It's pretty logical to assume that they will 'unblock' the cases that have been in the hands of judges and fiscales who have been loyal to the Ks and hopefully allow justice to take its course.
The killing of the Iran memorandum is a case in point. Many are speculating that this will finally put the investigation of Nisman's death back on course and who knows what else thereafter?
