LAVA JATO OPERATION PROSECUTORS—IN HOT WATERS

A couple of years before #Bolsonaro became president, he was caught fishing in a place he wasn't supposed to. Messages exchanged by #LavaJato prosecutors and that have been leaked recently, shows that one prosecutor, #MoniqueCheker, after realizing Bolsonaro couldn't be prosecuted for environmental damages due to the fact that he only caught a couple of fish, texted that she knew a professor from the State University of #RiodeJaneiro that could write a report blaming Bolsonaro for some different kind of environmental issue. Another prosecutor said that Bolsonaro would not be convicted of any crime by a lower court, and then Monique wrote that if the process go to the #SupremeCourt (#STF), he would be convicted. Other parts show prosecutors calling Bolsonaro names and saying he had fascist and sexist ideals. At another text, she says, “OUR SELF-SACRIFICE IN THE NAME OF THE 'PLURALITY OF IDEAS' HAVE ALREADY COST US [TO LOSE] SOME [DEPARTMENTS]. THE DPU [federal prosecutors office], THE #PF [federal police]; I THINK THAT'S ENOUGH. I DON'T WANT THAT.” At another part, on a different topic, while discussing the need of #SergioMoro to distance himself from Bolsonaro in 2019, #DeltanDallagnol said, “THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS TO DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM BOZO—IN ORDER TO GET CLOSER TO JOURNALISTS—BUT WITHOUT LOSING SUPPORT OF BOZO'S SUPPORTERS ['Bozo' was the left's favorite way to refer to Bolsonaro]. In another part, #Moro, already serving as the Minister of Justice—so he was no longer part of Lava Jato—texts Dallagnol, who was still a prosecutor in Lava Jato, “I'M GOING TO BE IN #DAVOS DURING THE WEEK. COULD YOU TELL ME SUCCINTLY WHICH COUNTRIES WE ARE STILL FACING COOPERATION DIFFICULTIES WITH? DID #HONGKONG PROVIDE YOU WITH THOSE EVIDENCES? PLEASE, FIND THAT OUT AND LET ME KNOW.” According to journalist #OswaldoEustaquio, PTB's party president, #RobertoJefferson, and the recently arrested Congressman #DanielSilveira received copies of the Lava Jato conversations leaks. #Silveira was arrested a couple of days before the date he had planned to exposed them. Jefferson received the leaks back in December, but even with his constant and widely view interviews, he never exposed them, and many people are wondering why he didn't. Many are also wondering why Eustáquio didn't expose them earlier either.
