... even though Kohl accuses them of treason

Today there were details about the consulting contract between Kohl and Kirch in the broadcast. Nice how all sorts of shady dealings around Kohl are coming to light. A contract that consists only of Kohl not having to do anything, except not reveal anything, while Kirch pays diligently. Well, the contract is at least making its way into a book - Die Korruptionsfalle, by Hans Leyendecker. It's a shame that he's never really held accountable for it - apparently nobody has a real interest in looking into it and ending it in court. At least one has to interpret the prosecuting attorney's egg dance around Kohl's donation problems this way.

It's quite a wonderful feeling knowing that you're living in a banana republic ...
