I think it is a foregone conclusion that there MUST have been corruption on a grand scale in Petrobras BUT did it involve US nationals doing the bribing?

The rats are scurrying to get off the sinking ship....another 8 whistleblowers have presented themselves voluntarily to the federal police in the hopes that their testimony will render them lighter sentences....and very significant is the fact that their stories all coincide.....the same political parties - PT, PMDB, PP - and the same politicians are being named time after time....and all this happened on fatty Dilma's watch...she (as well as Lula) must be squirming at the thought of being impeached... ..f*ck 'em !
