In South Africa, President Jacob Zuma, accused of corruption, was forced to resign.
In Australia, Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce is under pressure to resign. He got his former media consultant pregnant.
And in Israel, the police have recommended criminal charges against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He's accused of accepting illegal gifts from Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan and promising favors to newspaper publisher Arnon Mozes in exchange for favorable coverage. (Neither co-defendant is related to me, though we could all be in SSS's new game. But another Israeli who's accused of crimes, diamond billionaire Beny Steinmetz, is my fourth cousin.)
I read these stories separately, and then John Oliver pointed out that they're related. All three leaders think that rules don't apply to them.

Re: Crooked leaders get their comeuppance
Update: Barnaby Joyce was removed from his leadership positions. And on yet another continent:
Peru's congress ready to replace scandal-tainted president
Meanwhile, Bibi continues to hang by a thread.

Boy, for someone posting daily news articles, it's hard to believe you didn't hear that she LOST the election. She has no more power. That's why the pay-for-play donations to her foundation have all dried up.Bob Juch wrote:Meanwhile, the biggest crook is still in power in Washington.jarnon wrote:Update: Barnaby Joyce was removed from his leadership positions.

Re: Crooked leaders get their comeuppance
Sara Netanyahu has been indicted for fraud. I can't imagine that Bibi is an honest politician while Sara plotted behind his back. That's as far-fetched as Mueller indicting Eric Trump and nobody else for collusion.
