Now the PT (worker's party's) steamroller will get into action....they will do their best to block any attempt by Congress to have this scandal investigated....If the truth were to come out, it would probably be, not only the end of Dilma's re-election in October, but the end of Dilma and Lula.....One thinhg you can be sure of, if they cannot stop the investigation, then they will make sure it is delayed until after the World Cup and Dilma's re-election......and even then when /if “thoroughly” investigated, “Brazilian style”, the people who will take the blame are the small fish - who will later be regally rewarded by the PT for having sacrificed themselves for the “greater good”, i.e., the party.

'.. the purchase document was flawed and ”omitted any reference to clauses in the contract which, had they been known, would not have been approved” by the Petrobras board.'

OK, Mercopress, let us all see the missing sections,
so we can judge Rousseff's culpability.
