They have nothing

Tarık Toros

If they had…

They would not sue people for insulting the President based on a posted tweet or an innocent written criticism. They would not imprison so many peopleç

**

If they had…

They would not still raid schools or put financial pressure on companies…

Despite the fact that thousands of inspections yielded no result.

**

If they had…

They would not arrest journalists on grounds of four columns…

Although they left no stone unturned…

Wiretapped their telephones and put them under surveillance.

**

If they had…

They would not lock up prosecutors and judges…

Who did nothing except performing their duties.

**

If they had…

They would not decide for a confidentiality order on the files of police officers, prosecutors, judges and journalists who are kept in prison for 14 months now, without any bill of indictment…

They would not smuggle the (nonexistent) evidences from their lawyers.

**

If they had…

They would not keep the chairman of a major broadcasting group in prison for 10 months…

Based on a TV series script.

**

If they had…

They would not issue far-fetched charges on Fethullah Gülen’s weekly public talks, meticulously pulling his speeches to shreds.

**

If they had…

They would retire the blacklisted bureaucrats and public servants on justified grounds like neglect of duty…

Instead of blaming them for legitimate events like “going to an iftar invitation” or “attending a graduation ceremony”.

**

Because they have nothing, no proof.

And that is why they invented “reasonable doubt” and started a “partial genocide”. The wording is not mine. Look up the Turkish Penal Code, it is there.

**

They have nothing.

They themselves, their gunmen and the proponent opportunistic “center media” know it better.

There are occasional road accidents, yes: like the Hürriyet raid.

**

It has been two years and they keep making things up.

Have a heart!

If they had something, some proof…

They would have disclosed and made the most of it.

**

So, rest assured…

They have nothing.

Hence, their peevishness, ill temper and crankiness.

**

Don’t get stressed, it’s not worth it.

Go on with your life.

They have nothing.
