Prosecutors for KPK seats

Tony Spontana" - with this name the AG spokesperson could play in any mafia-themed movie and wouldn't even need to change it..(e.g. "Goodfellas" with its classic names like Paul Cicero, Frankie Carbone, Johnny Dio....)

Anyway, regarding all those candidates of highest esteem being dumped at the selection committee by various institutions with vested interests - most certainly there will be intense lobbying going on to get their candidates onto the chair - and if, for some mysterious reasons they won't make it the same ex-candidates and their backers will do everything and anything to find dirt on those who are being selected and chosen.

In any case, the KPK is flat-lining and if either the police and the AG get their candidates in this institution will be virtually destroyed from within like a radical cancer eating away its flesh and if not the very same will do (and as we all know in the meantime - they can!) to destroy it form the outside. Personally I think that the KPK's days are counted and it would need heaviest interference by the president as well as the constitutional court to reverse those granted pretrial motions, to stop the prosecution of suspended KPK commissioners and to give additional legal power to the KPK - but honestly - I don't expect that to happen. 

Corruption has won and the KPK will be just a cutout sticker to please the public without any power (and the will - depending on who may be the new commissioners) to actually fight against corruption. How very sad for Indonesia!
