Top aide of the former Brazilian President - and leftist icon - Lula, guilty of corruption

BBC:

The Supreme Court in Brazil has found a top aide of the former Brazilian President, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, guilty of corruption. 

Jose Dirceu, who was the president's chief of staff from 2003 to 2005, had been accused of setting up a scheme that used public funds to buy support from opposition parties in parliament.... The former head of President Lula's Workers Party, Jose Genoino, and its treasurer, Delubio Soares, were also convicted and are also facing a jail sentence. ... The former president is not implicated in the scandal.

THIS IS HOW THE LEFT OPERATES. THE LEFT'S SOP.

WHAT THEY DID IN BRAZIL WAS NOT SO DIFFERENT THAN HOW OBAMA PASSED OBAMACARE.
