Glenn Greenwald & he hit many topics.

Around 1:55:30, they start on Brazil situation - with Lula, Bolsonaro etc.

If you believe GG - Lula & Bolsonaro are both halfway-decent people, Brazil is a tragi-comedy of corruption & censorship.

• GG is generally on Left. out Gay

• late 2010s, Lula was very popular

• but Brazil had a big anti-corruption probe, led by Judge Sergio Moro, considered a hero, & he jailed Lula

• 2018, Bolsonaro elected, put popular "hero" Judge Moro in charge of Justice Ministry

• which was too much, because Moro also turned out corrupt

• Glenn broke that story in Brazil media, became hated by Bolsonaro movement, who indicted Glenn on 126 lawfare felonies

• Glenn's reporting meanwhile got Lula out of jail; first person Lula called & thanked, was Glenn

• but Bolsonaro was never implicated in Moro corruption; had only followed a popular tide

• Brazil's "Establishment" Right - think RINO types, Mitch McConnell - hated Bolsonaro

• one of those, Brazil’s Federal Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, started crusade against Bolsonaro - with lots of authoritarian censorship & lawfare, ridiculous

• Glenn publicly objected to Moraes - on same reasons/principles as he objected to Moro

• Glenn is now liked by Bolsonaro movement, friends with both Lula & Bolsonaro people

Wild!
