Possibility of arrest grows for Bolsonaro [former Conservative President of Brazil] over jewellery scandal
The Guardian ^ | 02 September 2023 | Tom Phillips

Bolsonaro could be close to arrest thanks to a tangle of criminal investigations and scandals involving luxury watches, phoney vaccination records, a four-star general, a computer hacker and a botched military coup...Some leftists worry Bolsonaro's arrest could backfire, allowing him to pose as the victim of political persecution like his mentor and ally Donald Trump.

(Excerpt) Read more at theguardian.com ...


TOPICS: Chit/Chat
KEYWORDS:
Joe Biden evicted Bolsonaro from Florida, where he had been sheltering from these false, and mostly frivolous, criminal charges in Brazil.

The Biden State Department openly assisted the neo-Marxist candidate who beat Bolsonaro in a fraudulent election.

Like Trump, Bolsonaro is facing criminal charges for questioning the outcome of a Presidential election.

The Guardian - which is publishing this article - is the most strident, neo-Marxist, English language, newspaper in the world.

Agreed.

Bolsonaro is guilty of being a Christian conservative that didn’t win the election.

So now persecution is the preferred way for Marxists to eliminate their opposition?

The usual fake political charges by the corrupt Leftist Brazilian administration....the one which stole their last election with help from the CIA and other US Deep state agencies.

I'm wondering how that worked out for them? Like so many Deep-state/DC policies, they seem to have stumbled into it, with many unexpected consequences.

Lula has embraced traditional US opponents in South America, and he's been among the loudest to promote BRICS and mutual trade outside the USD system, and the need to dismantle American power in the world. He is a proponent of fascist-homosexual power government, so perhaps the US deep state likes that.

Don’t give the Democrats any more ideas. They haven’t thought of charging President Trump with jewel theft and burglary. If the present indictments fail, you can be sure they’ll try that.

Hillary’s theft of known furniture and china with no justice.

Upon leaving office, Bill Clinton reported that he had retained $190,027 worth of gifts that he had received. The Washington Post reported this on Jan. 21, 2001 — a day after President George W. Bush gave his inaugural address.

On Feb. 5, 2001, the Post reported that some of those gifts — $28,000 worth — were intended for the White House, not for the Clintons personally, based on documents the newspaper reviewed and interviews it conducted with donors.

About a week later, the Washington Post reported that the Clintons returned the $28,000 worth of furnishings to the National Park Service. (The Post also reported that the Clintons days earlier had paid the government $86,000 for other items they received as gifts in his last year in office. We’ll get to that later.)

In general, presidents are “free to accept unsolicited personal gifts from the American public,” according to a 2012 report by the Congressional Research Service. Federal law requires that all gifts valued at more than $350 be disclosed in financial disclosure reports each year, but the president is free to keep them after moving out of the White House.

However, gifts from the public given directly to the White House are considered the property of the U.S. government and cannot be taken from the White House by the president or family members when the president leaves office.

And yet another reason why the founding fathers put the 2nd amendment into the US Constitution.

Go buy weapons and ammo, folks.
