The Government of Brazil (AGU) cannot have it both ways when trying to defend Alexandre de Moraes. When addressing the U.S. Department of Justice, the Government of Brazil said its court orders “operate strictly within” Brazil, have no extraterritorial effect, and must be served…Mostrar mais

37 years ago, in his final speech as President, Ronald Reagan said something profound about what it means to be an American. America is not a bloodline. It is not a tribe. It is not reserved for those whose families came first. America is an idea and a promise. Anyone, from an…Mostrar mais

Do you think Alexandre de Moraes suddenly decided to investigate Rio de Janeiro Governor @claudiocastroRJ, right after he led Brazil’s biggest operation against Comando Vermelho, by coincidence? Or could it be because Castro’s popularity exploded overnight for doing what million…Mostrar mais

If Comando Vermelho were already designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) under U.S. law, as Argentina and Paraguay have designated it this week, the debate in Brazil today would look very different. Instead of investigating the governor and police officers who risked t…Mostrar mais

Do you think the United States should designate PCC and Comando Vermelho as FTOs?

It sounds unbelievable, but it’s true. Alexandre de Moraes is now investigating the Bolsonaro-aligned governor of Rio de Janeiro @claudiocastroRJ and the police officers who led Brazil’s largest operation against the Comando Vermelho — the same criminal faction the U.S. is consid…Mostrar mais

What’s happening in Rio was inevitable. The federal government has been paralyzed or unwilling to confront the PCC and Comando Vermelho. In May, the U.S. offered Brazil a partnership to classify these groups as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs). That status unlocks the full…Mostrar mais

The opinion issued by Brazil’s Prosecutor General’s Office (PGR) to the Superior Tribunal de Justiça (@STJnoticias is deeply disappointing and legally unsound. @rumblevideo’s U.S. lawsuit does not seek to “punish” Alexandre de Moraes for his lawful judicial acts in Brazil. It se…Mostrar mais

Oh @gilmarmendes, you are so generous with the content you create….

According to @CNNBrasil 42-43k people showed up to protest the amnesty bill in São Paulo….. 19 top singers and only 42k showed up. To a free music concert pretending to be a “protest.” Sounds like the Brazilian Congress can comfortably proceed to pass the amnesty bill into law.
