I had a master who amazed his colleagues with his special news. Now he has left active journalism and is enjoying his retirement. When I went to visit him, he was drinking his tea in front of the television set on the balcony. While passing through the channels, he stopped at one of them and showed his famous screen face with the remote in his hand. “There is this lady,” he said. “His wife is involved in money-making business,” he added. Of course, the wolf journalist has a pierced ear. If he wasn't too lazy, he would be able to get us the news again.

I knew the wife of the television personality that my colleague pointed out. He had an important seat in the security bureaucracy. I asked a few other sources what I learned. And bingo!

It was the beginning of the year. An illegal betting operation was carried out in Istanbul and two people were arrested. I am the liar of the state agency; 3 billion lira from the suspects' accounts was also confiscated.

Here it is said... One of those arrested became a confessor and went to the prosecutor's office and gave some names. The unfortunate thing is that among the people pointed out by the illegal betting suspect were some senior managers in the security bureaucracy. And yes, you guessed it right, our famous TV personality's wife was among them. What is being talked about, what... Anyway!

Well, what after? No one hears, sees or tells what happened next. I don't know if what the confessor said was ignored or something else happened. What I know is that the wife of the famous television personality was appointed to a passive position.

Since the government has embarked on a cleansing task within itself, no one should be bothered!

JAVAL THROWERS!

You go and acquit Fethullah Gülen in the organization case.

You go and meet with FETO's financial branch 93 times.

You go and talk to the senior Fethullahist imam 63 times.

Despite all this, go and become the president of the Supreme Court of Appeals, the highest court of appeal in your country.

If that is not enough, let your name be given to the conference hall in the new building of the Supreme Court of Appeals.

If that is not enough, the country's judicial year opening ceremony should be held in the place named after it.

Not enough, great things should be said there about sacred issues such as justice, judiciary and law.

İsmail Rüştü This is what being a javelin is like!

DID YOU KNOW?

1- The evidence of the arrest of Independent Maden-İş Union Chairman Gökay Çakır and the union's training and organization officer Başaran Aksu were their social media messages. Although both men were accused of "inciting the public to hatred and hostility" with their messages, the arrest warrant claimed that "evidence has not yet been collected".

2- Başaran Aksu started a hunger strike in Ankara Sincan Prison, where he was detained.

3- Detainee Gökay Çakır was a father of four daughters, a miner for 22 years, and a union president who made ends meet with a pension of 23 thousand 552 liras.
