Bolsonaro is Indicted! w/ journalist Mike Elk of Payday Report (G&R 338)

In our latest, Bob talks with Payday Report founder and senior labor reporter Mike Elk about the recent indictment of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro.

In addition to being a crack labor reporter, Mike Elk has spent a good deal of time in Brazil over the past couple years and we’ve had several conversations about Lula’s victory in 2022 and the role of Brazilian authorities to go after Jair Bolsonaro who’s now been indicted for forging a COVID passport, embezzlement for selling Rolex watches gifted by Saudi Arabians at a mall in Pennsylvania, and now for his role, along w/ 36 of his political cronies, in a plot to kill his successor, Lula. And of course we made the comparison between the way the Brazilians acted immediately to hold Bolsonaro legally liable and Merick Garland was so weak, slow, and feckless in dealing w/ Trump.
