Biden’s CIA Responsible For Brazil Riots

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)1 Comment

The Biden regime’s Central Intelligence Agency is responsible for instigating protests that rocked Brasília in the aftermath of a contentious election between the incumbent, conservative Jair Bolsonaro, and his opponent, liberal Leftist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who emerged victorious. Purported pro-Bolsonaro supporters stormed Congress, the Supreme Court and presidential palace Sunday, protesting what they deemed a crooked election. The demonstrators bypassed security barricades, climbed on roofs, smashed windows, and invaded all three buildings, which were believed to be largely vacant on the weekend. Some of the demonstrators called for a military intervention to either restore Bolsonaro to power or oust Lula from the presidency.

Brazil Is Having Its Own Jan. 6 Right Now (archived)

Much like former U.S. President Donald Trump, the right-wing populist Bolsonaro has claimed for years that the country’s elections are riddled with fraud, claims many elections officials, election security experts, and fact-checkers have adamantly refuted. Bolsonaro has even alleged that detractors attempted and failed to steal the election from him in 2018. For weeks since Bolsonaro’s defeat by leftist opponent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Nov. 1, his supporters have been calling for a coup. Trump allies Steve Bannon and Jason Miller have reportedly been advising Bolsonaro since his defeat, and his son, Brazilian congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro, has reportedly met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

Bolsonaro Backers Storm Government Buildings

The three buildings, representing Brazil’s three branches of government, are connected through Three Powers square. Brazilian TV aired footage of the attackers in the palace, per the AP. Bolsonaro, who left Brazil for Florida before Lula took office, did not immediately comment on the violence—evocative of the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol. Aides to former President Donald Trump have met with Bolsonaro’s aides since Brazil’s election, per the Insider, and Steve Bannon recommended contesting the results of the Oct. 30 vote. Like Trump, Bolsonaro has not conceded the election. Brazil’s justice minister tweeted Sunday that reinforcements are on the way to stop the invasion. “This absurd attempt to impose their will by force will not prevail,” said Justice Minister Flavio Dino posted.

The Onion Files Hilarious Amicus Brief In An Important Case, And Actually Makes A Key Point In The Best Way Possible

In most cases, it does not do you any good to try to be funny in legal filings. In most cases, judges will not be that amused (even if those same judges sometimes try to make jokey rulings). In the world of the courts, the judges can be funny, but no one else should try. But every so often it works. The ACLU’s Eat Shit, Bob filing, for example, was pretty good.

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes: “It’s Tom Fitton who ended up putting Donald Trump in arguably the most acute legal peril he has ever been in”

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes: “It’s Tom Fitton who ended up putting Donald Trump in arguably the most acute legal peril he has ever been in”

Now, I should note here, Tom Fitton is not a lawyer. He’s just a dude with some big money right-wing donors, I guess. But he’s been giving Donald Trump a lot of legal advice that the ex-president is actually listening to. Since as early as February, Fitton has reportedly been calling Trump, telling him it was a mistake to give the records from Mar-a-Lago to the National Archives, that his team should have never let the Archives quote, “strong-arm” him into returning them. Fitton said the records belonged to Trump, citing a 2012 court case involving his organization that he said gave the former president authority to do what he wanted with records from his own term in office. He suggested to Trump that if the Archives came back, he should not give up any additional records. Trump, quote, “began obsessing over Fitton’s arguments, complaining to aides about the 15 boxes that were handed over” and “even asked Fitton at one point to brief his attorneys.” I’m sure that they loved that one. As one person close to the ex-president put it, quote, “The moment Tom got in the boss’ ear, it was downhill from there.” You know, it’s like the Overstock guy or the Pillow guy.

It gives me no joy to write this piece.

Even a cursory review of the redacted version of the affidavit submitted in support of the government’s application for a search warrant at the home of former President Donald Trump reveals that he will soon be indicted by a federal grand jury for three crimes: Removing and concealing national defense information, giving NDI to those not legally entitled to possess it and obstruction of justice by failing to return NDI to those who are legally entitled to retrieve it.
