I really like Glenn Greenwald, but he&#x27;s really jumped the shark on reporting on Brazil. The amount of corruption surrounding Dilma, Lula and the PT in general is crazy out of control. Greenwald likes to wash over and not mention or barely mention the petrolão scandal like it&#x27;s a mere footnote.<p>Dilma was chairperson of the board of Petrobras during the entirety of the scandal. Given the magnitude of the corruption, either she was involved or was incompetent. Furthermore, her administration has cooked the books in terms of reporting on the economic health of the country and her administration is responsible for the biggest economic decline in years. Furthermore, we can&#x27;t really investigate wrongdoing because without things getting political because the constitution in Brazil makes it so only the STF, the equivalent of SCOTUS, is allowed to investigate and bring to trial the president and congresspeople. This bottle neck and the politics of bringing a trial mean that almost no one can be investigated. Dilma even used this fact to shield the former president from investigation by appointing him to a cabinet position just as he was about to be deposed.<p>I&#x27;m not saying those other side of this (politicians and media) are without wrongdoing. He does a good job of pointing out why they are scum too, but to gloss over many details in order to make Dilma out to be some sort of blameless victim of injustice is laughable.<p>No one on either side of the aisle is innocent in all this. It&#x27;s positively shameful.
