Former Minister of Justice Sergio Moro gave a deposition to the Federal Police on his WhatsApp conversations with Jair Bolsonaro. Within these WhatsApp conversations, President Bolsonaro pressed for the departure of Maurício Valeixo as leader of the Federal Police.

In Saturday's testimony (2), Moro also talked about his conversations with federal deputy Carla Zambelli (PSL-SP), an ally of the President. In one message already shared by the former minister, the parliamentarian offers him an appointment to the Supreme Court to get him to stay in the government.

Moro said that other ministers attended his meetings with Bolsonaro.

After the deposition, the ex-minister had to wait for the Federal Police experts to access his cell phone. The device was copied on to a hard drive, and Moro allowed investigators to retrieve old messages deleted by him.

1. exodus of qualified officials; Bolsonaro goes against reason.

This will not end well for the so-called President, and it's horrific at this time when the Covid19 wants to run all over Brazil.
Brazilians are tired of this Bolsonaro; Moro is very well respected, just like the Minister of Health Mandetta, who also cleaned out his desk last week. These qualified department heads are getting replaced by the not qualified.
