Feb 24th, 2016 - 05:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0St Lula is about to be put in the slammer for the rest of his short life!
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Evidence against the Lula-thief is piling up daily.......only an idiot would still defend him, and many of the PT rats are already scuttling off the sinking ship...
Feb 24th, 2016 - 05:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Can't wait to see the 9 fingered a.hole being dragged off in handcuffs, along with his ugly wife and two fat kids.
I'll say this, they really seem to be attempting to get to the bottom of this.
Feb 24th, 2016 - 11:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I would have expected an attempt to shut this down or derail it but so far they've keep following the money trail.
With every accusation and piece of evidence the nine fingered arse comes up with the most ridiculous and flimsy explanations, which then gets torn apart, only a matter of time before justice is served.

Feb 25th, 2016 - 12:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Long time in the making
I wonder if the current leaders will destroy the country to try to keep themselves out of jail.
Probably.

Feb 25th, 2016 - 07:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Considering that holding on to power is all that matters to the PT, wouldn't put it above them, but I think they will fail...
“investigation besieging the ex president” is a bit of an exaggeration.
Mar 02nd, 2016 - 06:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He is already covering his backside, changing the ministries, ministers and officials and also likely to change the system / laws - even the constitution; simply because he has too much at stake!
Latest news : Delcidio do Amaral, PT's ex-leader in the Senate, who was imprisoned 25th Nov last year, and now recently released to house arrest, has decided to accept a plea bargain ; he was imprisoned because he was caught red-handed, interfering with the Lava-Jato investigations - trying to get ex-PB director Nelson Cerveró to flee to Paraguay so that he wouldn't have to testify , in exchange for a handsome monthly stipend of R$ 50,000.00 - Delcídio has confirmed that he acted under direct instructions from Lula...
Mar 03rd, 2016 - 04:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And, José Cardozo, outgoing Justice Minister, who only 10 days ago was praising Delcídio, and making every effort to conduct him back to the Senate, has now said that Delcídio has no credibility...
Aren't these PT scumbags just hilarious ???
All these attempts of investigations are ultimately is just a farce and a waste of a lot of time and money. Watch the culprits escape one by one because of “insufficient evidence”.

Mar 03rd, 2016 - 07:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Unfortunately I have to agree ; despite the tons of evidence against the PB directors and the contractors - many of whom are already serving time - and now against Dilma and Lula, it is quite likely, knowing this country's stinking politics, that only the small fish will be accused, tried and sent to prison. While the LulaRat will probably stay out of jail, I don't think his political career has much future.
