Hearsay, even used by a Macri pet judge, does not a case make - as opposed to Macri's offshore accounts which have his very name on them.

It's like an instinct. Macri gets caught money laundering, so he accuses his worst enemy of it. That's a VERY Republican way to handle a scandal here in the USA, if you think you can get away with it. From what I can see of the Argentine press, they aren't too fussy about news there either.

I get a lot of information just watching for what ideas politicians they try to fend off, what they try to distract you from, and attacking an enemy when you get caught is almost automatic for a con man. Set the audience after someone else, and look for the exit.

Here's a little something about the prosecutor that charged Mrs. Kirchner (actually, imputed - which in Argentina is extremely easy to do):

Guillermo Marijuán, 50, is a Buenos Aires federal prosecutor who made a name for himself in the 2000s by investigating insurance and social security fraud (and for trying to obstruct Dirty War prosecutions). He's best remembered, however, for mothballing the JP Morgan Argentina money laundering case, which began in 2008 when the Senior Vice President of JP Morgan Argentina, Hernán Arbizu, revealed that the bank was at the center of a massive tax evasion and money laundering scheme involving many of the best known names in Argentine business, entertainment, and politics - particularly right-wing politics.

Among those named in the decade-long, 85 billion-dollar scheme was Alfonso Prat-Gay - Macri's current Economy Minister (though probably not for long). The 2013 SwissLeaks further corroborated this.

As you can imagine, Marijuán's decision to sit on the case has earned him the undying devotion of many among Argentina's elite - including the Clarín Group, which controls half the country's media, and has, per the FBI itself, 11 Panamanian accounts themselves.

So, while Marijuán runs out the clock on the massive JP Morgan case despite abundant evidence (the statute of limitations runs out, I believe, in 2018), he acts with lightning speed to charge Cristina Kirchner on hearsay provided by a man currently in prison. And, of course, he does so on the very day that Macri's Panama Papers troubles are the talk of the town.
