What&#039;s the plan, you ask?

Maybe when all this calms down, an appointment to some lucrative position for Dalli presented on a silver platter by Joseph?

Surely, Joseph must have signed a few IOUs to Dalli over the last several years for attacking the NP on One TV.]]></description>

Since when is giving someone &quot;a break and believe her for once&quot;, a valid substitute for straight and plain truth, Kev?

Your remarks are indeed &#039;fazull!]]></description>

Well, it does test your idea of his motive and stamina under Barroso&#039;s &#039;pressure&#039;.  

He&#039;s from the procura nicknamed Fort Apache, his job was to formulate the charges. 

The UK has already expressed hostility at his super investigator role in the EU. But Britain, and Malta are alien to the possible five degrees of judgement which Kessler would have been accustomed to. 

You&#039;re wrong about his tactics, in that in Italy, being close to clan members, even if not an affiliate, carries charges as harsh. 

Belittling the investigator is distorting the investigation, not the other way round. 

If John Dalli tends to have his picture taken with what he describes later as complete unknowns, collating evidence becomes, sort of, obvious. 

The question here is why should Dalli lie? As for the evidence kept under wraps, well, when all of them keep changing their story, we don&#039;t want them knowing what&#039;s on Kessler&#039;s papers do we?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let&#039;s take a step back here, chaps. 

Even if absolutely everyone at the European Commission is lying, down to the lady who makes tea, is that a valid reason to reinstate our national embarrassment John Dalli? 

Because this is exactly what some of the more - ahem - conspiratorial arguments sound like.]]></description>

There you are, Jozef. And his investigative tactics reflect his experience in collating evidence against known clan members. It explains why he aimed at nailing Dalli, guilty or not, rather than objectively investigating the case, establishing the roles and actions of the tobacco company, its lobbyists and whoever was involved.

There is a huge operational and tactical difference between an investigation aimed at establishing the truth, and one directed towards collating evidence against a specific target. The former is the Common Law approach, the latter is the way of despots and tyrants.]]></description>

To be fair is that really so different to what is being done to discredit Dr Kimberley? Hypocrisy is something you have to be vigilant to avoid. 

If you want to dine with cannibals then you better be prepared to get eaten.  That&#039;s what Mr Kessler is learning. Believe me,  there is a lot more to come out here.]]></description>

Dazgur. 

http://mafiatoday.com/tag/giovanni-kessler/

Just the intelligence and knowhow to investigate organised crime and its ramifications. 

Back in 1996 he volunteered for investigating magistrate in Gela. His work brought 46 clan members to trial, condemned a total of over 900 years. 

He&#039;ll spend the rest of his days secluded to maximum security. What is it he has to do to impress you, be blown up like Falcone?]]></description>
