Abe under fire over shady dealings claims

Shinzo "Pinocchio" Abe.

"There was no such instruction from the prime minister,"

It's no wonder Suga looks down at the podium and pretends to be reading most of the time when he spouts this kind of garbage. He's perhaps finally starting to suffer a moral dilemma from the constant lying and covering up for Abe.

They come a few months after the conservative premier was forced to deny connections to a controversial director of a school which had purchased government land at a huge discount -- and counted Abe's wife as its honorary principal.

This week, the education ministry and Cabinet Office confirmed the existence of documents similar to ones that the opposition pointed to as evidence Abe used his power improperly to pressure bureaucrats into helping a friend.

so much smoke I'm gagging "similar" what the hell is that? Things are well and truly arri when again and again Nippon Kaigie receive special favours from the PM. Isn't that a conspiracy? My J friends are very angry and embarrassed about the blatant corruption that we see.

Ho ho, it's only the beginning folks. Hang on to your breeches!!

The ministry flip-flopped a week later, saying the documents did exist.

Liar and thief! Get out Abe you are no good for Japan.... you only prop up your friends and corporate buddies.

Look at his nose getting longer!

He's perhaps finally starting to suffer a moral dilemma from the constant lying and covering up for Abe.

Suga? Japanese politician, right...."moral dilemma"? Naw Par for the course.

Dishonest Abe will go into hiding for the next few weeks until things calm down. Meanwhile lying Suga has lost what little credibility he had left.

His Mum must be so angry.

Most Japanese are fairly honest-it is disheartening to find that the PM of Japan is not.....

What else has he been up to at the behest of "Friends" from his Old Boys Club ?

It just doesn't cost them anything...so on with the show.

Abe is fired?

At this point, counting the number of times he's under fire is like counting the number of Abenomic's arrows.
