    Most politicians involved is the Progressive Party. Of the 42 politicians involved only 6 are the Workers' Party.

    Contrary to the Saxon media MercoPress speaks, there is no longer any research on Petrobras, everything has been clarified.

    The time is now to strengthen Petrobras and all Brazilian shipbuilding industry. The time is now to shield the energy chain in Brazil of any possibility of entry companies or interests that are not the same as the BRICS countries.

    We are providing the counter-coup in the PSDB and the ruling class. Our interest now is to dispossess them of any property which in Brazil or abroad. And of course, put the PSDB into lawlessness and extinction.
    The doomsday time for Editora Abril, Journal Estadão, Folha de São Paulo and Organizações Globo is also coming. Bankruptcies began.

    HSBC CPI!

    LULA 2018!

    Lula is one of the most corrupt, hypocritical, thieves in the world.
    He was exposed when he made a deal with the French to buy Rafale jet fighters that was so outrageous that Dilma had to cancel it.
    Brazil needs a strong government based to the far right with special enforcement decrees in order to incarcerate leftist socialist groups in special reeducation work camps for a mandatory 5 year period.

    @1, 3. Can you not read?
    'The investigation has led to the indictment of scores of executives from Brazil's top builders and implicated dozens of politicians, the majority of them from President Dilma Rousseff's Workers' Party, who allegedly received graft money.

    “The investigation is only beginning,” said prosecutor Carlos Fernando dos Santos Lima, adding that other Petrobras departments, like communications, would be investigated.'

    'the MAJORITY of them from President Dilma Rousseff's Workers' Party'. Do you have a problem with understanding the word 'MAJORITY'?

    And I thought you said 'there is no longer any research'. And the prosecutor says that the investigation is only beginning.

    And how much 'graft' did YOU take? Someone honest would want to see this corruption totally revealed. But YOU want to lie and keep it hidden. Want to reveal your name and address now so we can contact the prosecutor?

    Partido dos Trabalhadores is a corrupt mafia that pretends to fight for the poor and yet in truth line their pockets with riches of Brazil. Lula, Dilma and remainder of those theives should be incarcerated.
    The few that have been arrested are nothing more than “fall guys” to satisfy the public. “Workers Party” my arse! Brazil needs to rid itself of leftists.

    One would think Brazil is running from the USA if one payed any attention to the Brasshole de Ahole.

    But Dilma told us a few days ago that it was 'all clean' now...
    :-((
    Surely she wouldn't lie to us...
    ... would she?
    I am so disappointed.
    :-((
    She said we could trust her...
    “Oh say it aint, so Joe!” - “Yes, kid, I’m afraid it is.”

    (heavy sarcasm intended)

    PS: I know it is a misquote, but it kinda works here.

    @5 brasshole
    If only 6 of the 42 (sor far) indicted in the Lava-Jato investigation, are from the PT, the same is not true for the amount of money deviated and stolen from PB....the PT is by far, in the first place....more than double than all the rest together......Lula, Vaccari Neto, Dirceu, Palocci, Delubio, all shit from the same stinking crapper.
