US Removes Brazil Supreme Court Judge from Sanctions List (bloomberglaw.com)

Well, putting Supreme Court judges on this list solely to try to force the release and acquittal of a criminal never made any sense.


Bolsonaro is irrelevant, powerless, he's history. The problem is and has always been the supreme court. Bolsonaro's ordeal merely revealed this fact to the masses. They have essentially usurped all power. They walk all over our elected congress every day, constitution be damned.

After these sanctions were lifted, the judge gave a public speech on national television like some kind of supreme leader.

He won.

You don't even need to take my word for it. Here's a leftist source for good measure:

They all but admit it. Now that their political enemies are censored, jailed and all but dead and buried, they want to impose limits on this guy, on the supreme court.

Hope that works out for them. I'm tired. He won.


He leveraged it all into a rare earths deal with Brazil. They get rights until 2030 in exchange for this. Disappointing.


Source?


Read between the lines. Rare earths are part of China's table stakes and leverage against the US. Trump and Lula have been dancing around the subject for months now. Not too long ago they met and no doubt made a deal. These are the results.

But if you must have a media source:
