Flip-Flop-Flip

First, justice secretary Simeon Datumanong finally admitted that the DOJ has no evidence linking Sen. Loi Estrada and her two children, Jackie Ejercito and Jude Ejercito to the failed mutiny last July 27.

Then on DZBB, Ignacio Bunye seconded Datumanong's statement and called for the PNP to stop this silly investigation and apologize to the former first family.

But now, Sec. Datumanong is reversing himself and is now denying having made his earlier statements.

He claims that he was just answering a "hypothetical question", and that it was too early to say that there's not enough evidence vs. the Estradas.

OTOH, the PNP insists that apologies are not yet warranted at this point because their investigation on the Estrada family is "ongoing".

Interesting. If Sec. Datumanong is saying that it's too early to exonerate the Estradas and the PNP insists that it's investigation against them is still continuing, then why did the police make premature accusations against the estradas, linking them to the Magdalo group, if there was not enough evidence (or if the evidence is flimsy) to begin with?

Should they not first gather enough credible evidence on the Estradas before they make accusations of coup-plotting against them?

But you and I know that this is nothing but pure politics on the part of this adminstration to link the opposition to everything bad that's going on right now in this country... from coups to bank robberies, kidnappings and drug-trafficking.

This illegitimate administration needs an excuse or somebody to blame for their inadequacies.
