Poor wee Lula....while Delcidio was top PT senator, he was privy to all the monkey-business commanded by Lula ; if anyone, besides Marcelo Odebrecht, knows what a rotten egg Lula is, it's Delcídio...Strangely, Lula and his family use several properties as their own - the country-home in Atibaia, the US$ 2 million mansion in Punta Del Este, an enormous cattle farm (thousands of hectares) in Pará, not to mention the beachfront 'triplex' in Guarujá - which he never got to use because the scandal broke before it was transferred to his name - and yet, none of them belong to him.

As the chips are down and the thieves keep sinking deeper into their own shit, the muck-raking, mud-slinging and finger-pointing will be more fierce. However, it will not be totally without any escape-hatch: REF: “Uruguay prepared to receive Lula if he requests political asylum”

In the latest bout of depositions by Lula's several accusers, Lula's lawyers had the nerve to accuse judge Moro of being a CIA agent, and that they were in cahoots to steal the subsalt oil reserves from Brazil.....sound absurd ? sure does, but's it's true...

This is NOTHING! Just wait till :
- corruption gets officially &100% legalized in Brazil. [unofficially it almost is!].
- ALL the thieves go Scott-Free with all of their loot. Only as a token - symbolically - just a few of them will get away with minor light sentences by returning less than 1% of the loot - as a great favor to Brazil.
- all the thieves will continue to remain politically active
- their off-shore accounts: It will NEVER be discovered:
: How many accounts they have,
: in how many banks,
: and in how many countries.
In short; everything is well taken care of!

Thank God that ALL the criminals are not politicians!

In ANY case; the masses are more interested in their football clubs, their women / men, and the soap-operas. THE REST CAN GO TO HELL! :o))

A big (nasty) possibility. With the House or representatives doing their best - openly - to pass laws that gives them amnesty for past 'white-collar' crimes, what the hell can you expect for the future ? When the contents of Marcelo Odebrecht's plea-bargain are made public, you can be sure that for (Lula & Co., and) Congress, it'll be worse than setting the cat amongst the pigeons......better entertainment than any soap-opera.
