vote)was put in jail because a judge was "pretty sure" he was corrupt.
He used newspaper cuttings as "proof" of corruption. No actual

Not sure how you got that out of what he wrote.

  Operation "car wash" was part of the coup. It convicted
candidate Lula to over 20 years jail based on newspaper cuttings and
opinions of right wing reporters. And he was banned from running for
President in 2018 because anyone with a conviction for corruption
cannot run.
The judge in charge admitted he had no proof of corruption, He
also visited CIA and FBI headquarters once a month for "legal
guidance". Which is weird, because our laws are completely different
from US laws....
Ah, and Bolsonaro made him Minister of Justice as a "thank
you".

Ye, I followed the shenenigans. My comment was aimed at Andrews "'Car Wash' was all fiction??" - I'm not sure how he got that from what you wrote.
