The lawyer of the pork barrel scam whistle-blowers has VIRTUALLY CLEARED
Senators Juan Ponce Enrile, Jinggoy Estrada and Bong Revilla of the plunder
case they are facing over the anomaly.
Lawyer Levito Baligod admiited in an abs-cbnnews.com story today that NONE
OF THE SENATORS received money personally from Napoles.
So WHERE THE HELL IS THE PLUNDER?
Again, for those who don’t know, a major requirement of plunder is THE
ACCUSED RECEIVED MONEY from the principal in an illegal transaction.
If the senators didn’t receive money, WHAT are they liable for?
Baligod alleged the senators used their subordinates to receive money from
Napoles or her staff.
Assuming this is true, IT DOES NOT PROVE that the money ended up in the pockets
of the three senators. All that the senators have to do is DENY that they
received money from their subordinates.
Again, assuming this is true, there is the possibility that the
subordinates POCKETTED THE MONEY. The senators can readily say that they didn’t
even know that money was coming from Napoles.
Baligod claimed the whistle-blowers will narrate how Gigi Reyes, Enrile’s former chief of staff, communicated with
Napoles.
Again assuming this is true, Baligod had better have solid, indisputable
proof that the conversations were specifically about kickbacks or commissions
from Enrile’s pork barrel to supposedly bogus non-government organizations of
Napoles.
I am not a lawyer but I will dare say that unless Baligod and the
whistle-blowers have SPCIFIC, UNDENIABLE EVIDENCE, the filing of plunder cases
against them is NOTHING LESS THAN A MONUMENTAL CIRCUS.
That the supposed 175,000 pages of evidence against Enrile, Revilla and
Estrada are ONE THICK PILE OF TRASH.
As to why the cases were hastily filed, your guess is as good as mine.
I am NOT trying to defend the three senators I don’t work for anyone of
them and anybody can verify this anytime. I am simply reacting to the Napoles
we are facing.
A circus being staged at our expense. A circus trying to make fools out of
us.
