A report released on behalf of the Brazilian Senate shows that there are no grounds to impeach the democratically elected leader, but the slow-motion coup continues despite repeatedly being exposed.
A report by independent auditors on behalf of Brazils Senate indicates that the impeachment effort against democratically elected Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff is without basis nearly two months after the official was suspended from office for 180 days pending a final vote by legislators.
The justification for the impeachment effort against the Brazilian leader was that she used a budget trick known as pedaladas, or the illegal delay of repayments to state banks, to mask public debt in the lead up to her 2014 presidential election bid. However, the Senates expert report concluded that there was no indication of direct or indirect action by Dilma to engage in such budgetary malfeasance.
The Associated Press explained that "Independent auditors hired by Brazils Senate said in a report released Monday that suspended President Dilma Rousseff didnt engage in the creative accounting she was charged with at her impeachment trial."
On Tuesday, the top columnist for Brazils Folha de Sao Paulo paper, Elio Gaspari, blasted Michel Temer and his Brazilian Democratic Movement (PMDB) allies for staging a legalized mutiny under the title "There is a Coup" while even western media outlets favorable to the agenda of austerity and natural resource pillaging of the interim president are beginning to wonder whether the impeachment was more or less theatrical window dressing for an undemocratic overthrow.

(1,151 posts)The good guys keep winning, as usual just like the workers rights movements the civil rights movements just like the election of president Obama after 8 long years of shrub but the bad guys never rest. No matter how many fights they lose they never stop. They did not freeform in 1929 after they destroyed the entire world economy, they regrouped and gave us the Nazi party. They did not reform after we outlawed slavery they made Jim Crow laws and attacked our citizens . They did not learn anything from Vietnam, no they decided to spend us into oblivion and steal our SS trust fund so that now we are a poor debtor nation .
They never rest. They regroup make an evil plan and attack us again.
