Brazil: Judge Who Led Corruption Probe that Jailed Lula Elected Governor of His State
Breitbart ^

Posted on 10/05/2026 10:01:31 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

Sen. Sergio Moro, who rose to prominence as the judge who greenlit and oversaw the sprawling “Operation Car Wash” corruption investigation, was elected governor of Paraná state, Brazil, on Sunday.

Moro rode a wave of right-wing support in the general election, which also featured contests for seats in the Brazilian congress and the presidency. At the top of the ticket, Sen. Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair, won the election, but came under the 50-percent threshold to outright win the presidency. He will face socialist incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in a runoff election on October 25.

I'm sure its purely coincidence, but its remarkable the changes that have swept across Latin America after USAID was largely dismantled.

Throw into that no large scale 'peaceful protests' in the US and Democrat money troubles (although I agree with another political author that that may be Neville Singham, Soros, and assorted NGOs are being cautious, because they believe that a segment of the Feds are keeping an eye on money flows. Bessent actually alluded to this in several speeches).

But back to USAID....I know there have been questions raised about John Ratcliffe, but I would like to believe ar some level he is limiting the avenues by which a faction within a certain organization (think Brennan, Burns, etc) can operate . And I think pretty much shutting down USAID was a big blow to that faction.

Wasn’t Bolsanarro the guy who was fatally stabbed a few years ago, won, then Lula the imprisoned released and he imprisoned Bolsanarro?

Tough when USAID isn’t around to put its thumb on the scale for the Globalists...
