Every single politician is a crook. Take Janones, for example, the guy who set up "Lula's Army". He's
admitted to the same "rachadinha" that people hold over Flávio's head.

> Janones admitiu a “rachadinha” em seu gabinete.
When you stack the courts with judges friendly to you, then it's obvious only your enemies are going to be judged, and that it isn't going to be a fair trial.
When you then order a seizure of your opponent's passports seven minutes after he loses an election against you, it's pretty difficult to interpret that as anything other than an attempt to put your opponent in jail for the crime of running against you.
The whole point of electing this guy was to impeach the out of control judges. The same judges who are now gunning for him. They will obviously act to make him regret ever challenging their power, so that nobody ever does it ever again.
Even the most radical extreme left wing party in Brazil, PCO, called it political persecution. Literal trotskyist communists called it political persecution...
