...which reveals President gave senior government position to her predecessor so he could avoid arrest over corruption

President Rousseff appointed Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva as her chief of staff She is battling impeachment attempt, recession and oil corruption scandal Judge heading oil probe orders phone call between pair to be made public Call seems to confirm Lula's job spared him possible arrest for corruption

Protests have erupted in Brazil's capital after a recorded phone call between President Dilma Rousseff and her once-popular predecessor was released, suggesting that she appointed him to her cabinet to spare him from arrest for corruption.

Rousseff appointed Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva as her chief of staff on Wednesday hoping that his political prowess can save her administration.

The president is battling an impeachment attempt, a deep recession, and the fallout of an explosive corruption scandal at state oil giant Petrobras.

However hours after Lula's appointment, federal judge Sergio Moro, who is heading a probe into the Petrobras scandal, ordered the release of a call recorded by police suggesting darker motives.

Rousseff called Lula's bugged phone to tell him she would be sending him the official decree nominating him as her chief of staff so that he could make use of it 'if necessary.'

That extract seems to confirm that Lula's nomination to the post was aimed at sparing him possible arrest for corruption.

Question: Why is the banner written in English?

[Buckeye McFrog]

A little taste of what’s on Hillary’s server.

[jsanders2001]

^ I mean don’t they speak Portuguese?

[Awgie]

Governments in general are the problem. Nothing but organized crime syndicates.

I checked with my Brasilian friend, the word for impeachment is - Impedimento

[Red Badger]

The word is universal?...............

[jsanders2001]

I just wondered if it was a media manipulation for U.S. news

[corkoman]

Thats how it is spelled in Portugeuse - they borrowed it from English.

The Brazilians are so totally pissed off that Dilma would stoop so low as to sheild Lula by appointing him on her staff.

The Brazilians are the LAST to go to pitchforks and torches but now is the time.

Reading some of the details on this scandals, would it be correct to state that at the core of the scandal, the collusion between corporations and the socialist Brasilian government caused a false appreciation of the value of the oil cartel assests. When the scandal of fraud was revealed, the value of the cartel assets was devalued over $70 Billion dollars figuratively overnight, causing a major collapse. The extend of bribes to the government exceeded $3 billion or 10% of the country's GDP at the time. The extent of fraud gets worse from that point on.

If I am incorrect, please correct me. Cheers!

And no, I don't discuss it with my friends in Brasil. I simply listen to them complain about socialists, after years of telling them it was a bad idea to vote for them.

Dilma is the Hillary of Brasil. She be a criminal, yet still get elected.
