Brazil situation - per Glenn Greenwald
-
Tucker gets another great interview:
https://x.com/i/status/1803110427703812383
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!
