The award-winning Intercept reporter talks about charges filed against him by Brazil’s right-wing government

former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The hacked materials showed how a judge, Sergio Moro, gave prosecutors advance notice of his decisions, privately critiqued prosecutorial filings, and gave advice on the order of interrogations and warrant applications.

Before publication, the anonymous hacker source asked Greenwald if records of contacts with The Intercept should be destroyed. Greenwald replied, carefully, that by law he could not advise the source one way or another. This non-act is at the heart of the case against him, says Greenwald.Although the case sounds like a legal absurdity, Greenwald is aware that might not be much of a consolation. “There’s a question: Does the law even matter in Brazil anymore?” he asks, in a fatalistic voice.

“That’s what makes that [Assange] indictment so insidious,” he says. “It takes activity that journalists regularly engage in and calls it a crime.” “Trump and Bolsonaro are best friends, right?” he says. “Bolsonaro probably thinks, ‘If the U.S. can do this to Julian on such a thin reed, let’s come up with something too.’ ”

Same shit, different person. NoPasaran ForaBol卐onaro

Did it ever?

Law only pertains to those who get stuck at the bottom of the social pyramid. Those who hold high ranks when speaking of such social pyramid more than likely couldn’t even define the word “law”

what law?

There is NO law in Brazil..or anywhere south of the American border, for that point

Following in Pompeo's footsteps....quick head to the Ecuadorian embassy......oh, wait. C'mon you know who is really after you.

the Law died in Brazil a long time ago
