BOLSONARO ARRESTED
POLICE SEARCHING BOLSONARO'S HOME AT THIS TIME
Hours after the release of "January 8 Files" showing illegal activity by Brazil's most powerful Supreme Court Justice, Alexandre de Moraes, he has ordered the house arrest of former President @jairbolsonaro
Ostenisibly it's for a violation the Supreme Court's censorship of Bolsonaro, prohbiting him from speaking to the media. Bolsonaro participated in a protest against the government yesterday.
But the underlying motivation of Moraes is to distract attention from his nakedly illegal behavior. "Of course it's not a coincidence," says Congressman @marcelvanhattem
Police are expected to seize Bolsonaro's cell phones, and Moraes has prevented anyone other than Bolsonaro's attorneys from visiting Bolsonaro.
Everyone in any position of power must demand that the tyrant Moraes step down.
