S[Inks] appears to be hitting the fan:

A senator accused of involvement in Brazil's biggest corruption scandal said on Saturday President Dilma Rousseff and her predecessor Lula were aware of it and tried to block investigations, as a poll showed support for her impeachment rising.

In an interview with Brazil's best-selling weekly news magazine, Senator Delcidio do Amaral said Rousseff's successful presidential campaigns in 2010 and 2014 were financed with money from the graft scheme.

Amaral was the leader of the ruling Workers' Party (PT) in the Senate and a close Rousseff ally until he was arrested in November on charges of attempting to bribe a former executive of state-run oil company Petrobras in exchange for his silence in the investigation..

He left the party this week after agreeing a plea bargain, one of several deals prosecutors have used to advance their probe.

I don't see how she isn't removed from office, regardless of the truth.

Was it a tactical error for Moro to go after Lula by releasing that audio transcript?

It certainly made the investigation appear more blatantly partisan, but I think it is too soon to say if it was an error.

You would think these idiots would stop talking about shady s[Inks] on telephones that might be tapped.

Congratulations President Lula!

Lula has been convinced and sentenced to nine and a half years in the slammer.

Great typo.
