Good?

What's he accused of? Something from 2 years ago? Why would he need to be under house arrest, just start the trial immediately you had forever to prepare. If you can't get the evidence in 2 years then maybe they didn't commit the crime or you should have a slam dunk obstruction of justice case.

> What's he accused of?

The most serious accusation entails the creation of a "parallel intelligence apparatus" which was apparently keeping tabs on the supreme court judges. I don't doubt it.

He's also accused of ordering brazilian police to interfere in the elections in the northeast. I'm not sure if that can be directly attributed to him.

The "questioning of voting machines" and "incitation of protests" are just there to pad the list and insult our intelligence.

He trial is happening. There's a bunch of proofs. He likely will get convicted next month at worse.

This is just continuing a disturbing trend of lawfare, censorship, and constitutional violations from Brazil’s top courts. Whether it is Trump doing it or Brazil’s courts, targeting political rivals this way is corrupt and can destabilize society.

If Bolsonaro was responsible for

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_January_Bras%C3%ADlia_attack...

how should a democratic society respond?

matheusmoreira · a month ago
Brazil is not a democratic society, it's a dictatorship of the judiciary. Not a single brazilian voted for these judge-kings who also legislate and execute.

That "attack" was directly caused by the "activism" of these judge-kings on the eve of the 2022 election. They engaged in blatantly unconstitutional political censorship and disproportionately targeted Bolsonaro and his supporters. Journalists and online influencers were forced to seek political asylum in other countries.

It wasn't enough to make a mockery out of our constitution, they also had to brag about it in public. They actually went to public events to showboat about their accomplishments. "We defeated Bolsonarism!" -- Barroso, an "impartial" supreme court judge-king.

What's the part about this that's lawfare?
matheusmoreira · a month ago
The part where the current president's former lawyer is one of the "impartial" judge-kings involved in the case.

"We defeated Bolsonarism!" -- Barroso, one of the judge-kings.

Is further proof necessary?
