Nothing surprising.
Americans can only dream.
As per Japanese traditions, scapegoat probably. The notion that a political secretary can trade “hundreds of millions of yen” all by himself/herself without a powerful backer is laughable. I won’t elaborate further as it can go into defamation territory, but people can draw the dots from there.
This guy had the ‘corrupt charlatan politician look’ all the time , no surprise. He will sure suffer jail time , right ? Sana-chan ? No way he isn’t included in this
“I was drunk, and don’t remember it.”
Good thing the LDP cleaned house, huh? 🙄
Where does a handsome devil like that spend all that money?
Coincidentally comes after LDP/JIP’s backed candidate in Hiroshi Hase lost to Yukiyoshi Amano (backed by DPFP).
Seems like whilst Takaichi is very popular but LDP is not?
