- aerostable_slug 1y agoThat doesn't mean their intelligence services aren't also stoking various fires, some calling for more inquiries. Discord is to their benefit. A politician who is no longer able to exert influence going to prison isn't a big loss to them, in fact it's arguably a good outcome. They get to have had favors while Sarkozy was in office and an angry France now that's he's out.
