pbhjpbhj | on: Brazilian Court Sanctions Lawyers for Prompt Injection in Court Filing
So you first argued that the courts were using false charges of foreign influence as a political weapon. Now you say that the charges are correct?

Nowhere did I say the charges were false.

> as a political weapon

It is a political weapon.

Seven minutes after losing the presidential election, an order to seize Flávio Bolsonaro's passports was signed by supreme court judge Alexandre de Moraes. He's being investigated for several things, including illegally receiving money from banker Daniel Vorcaro as funding for a film about his father, former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro. The order caused him to flee the country and seek political asylum in the USA.

The judge himself has dealings with Daniel Vorcaro: he messaged the judge on WhatsApp and asked whether he should leave the country in order to escape arrest. The judge's wife received millions of dollars from the banker as well.

It's all so brazen and transparent that I come off as unhinged when I try to explain it. Reality is unrealistic.

Selective enforcement is a pretty good political weapon
