From a brat named Dallagnol, who filled your heads with lies, who managed to create a world of lies.” — Lula, ex-convict, talking about a company that made a leniency agreement to return 2 ,87 billions of reais (it’s BI, not MI) to the public coffers.

According to journalist Lauro Jardim, a former colleague of Marco Aurélio in the STF would have said “Thanks to God, Marco Aurélio here in the Supreme Court was always a losing vote”. Does the mysterious minister begin with G and end with Mendes”?

“I return pessimistic from the act in Largo S. Francisco. Very few people, average age, mine, very few young people, the same old intellectuals with moldy ideas and zero vibration.
