A series of circumstances threw the Federal Supreme Court into the eye of a political hurricane that only subsided after those responsible were imprisoned. During this crisis, he wrote one of his best pages. The figure of the minister stood out in this succession of episodes.
After the hurricane, the court got confused in dealing with the case and its political and financial connections. Last week’s meeting, which reported on the case, had exquisite choreography, but it didn’t fool anyone. The purpose was to remove Toffoli, but to decorate the scene they attacked the Federal Police.
All Brazil doesn’t need is a conflict between the PF and the Supreme Court. Since then-president Jair Bolsonaro’s first attacks on the court, he has exhibited exemplary conduct and . After the trial of the palace generals, the Supreme Court should consider closing the police station or, at least, dropping the ball. Especially because the Court has more to do, apart from discussing a code of conduct for its peers.
The Federal Supreme Court is going through a period of extreme disrepute due to the activity of a bench dedicated to farofas and relatives. This is the bad side of the coin, irrelevant when compared to the good side. No matter how much stress the Master/Toffoli soap opera brought, it cannot be forgotten that in less than three months, the case’s rapporteur was removed. Almost a summary rite.
Having done the right thing, he signals (or pretends to signal) a fair deal with the Federal Police. I hope that the two-hour meeting between the PF director and minister André Mendonça, the new rapporteur of the Master case, calms tempers. The fair deal with the PF, as it turned out, served those interested in confusing the process. It is true that the Federal Government improperly investigated Minister Dias Toffoli, but it is also certain that, until now, not a single shred of falsehood has been identified in the 200 pages delivered to Minister Edson Fachin.
When minister Alexandre de Moraes orders the police station to reopen its operations, causing embarrassment to a niche of notables who are going through a dire phase, but are not the cause of national ills. The court knows how to evaluate inappropriate invitations, and even knows how to accept them, but things improve: ministers André Mendonça and Luiz Fux who predicted the possible participation of one of the members of a law firm he defends, owner of Banco Master. The congress would be in the city of Salamanca, a first class farofa. A few months ago, Toffoli was going to a football match in Peru, on a businessman’s jet and in the company of the lawyer of a Master director.
Functioning as a police station, the Supreme Court, which did a commendable job, going above and beyond in its investigative fury ends up helping its worst enemies: scammers and thieves.
