Have you noticed? The Lava Jato investigation is only making progress against the PSDB now, after Moro left Curitiba.

The selectivity and partisanship of former judge Sergio Moro becomes more evident each day as the Lava Jato investigations into the PSDB progress.

It's no coincidence: the protective wall of the beloved toucans is crumbling after Moro left the Republic of Curitiba to become Jair Bolsonaro's Minister of Justice.

Beto Richa, the former governor of Paraná from the PSDB party, is in prison, accused of several corruption crimes.

Paulo Preto, the notorious operative for the high-ranking members of the PSDB party in São Paulo, is also in prison.

Aloyzio Nunes Ferreira, former foreign minister from the PSDB party, was the target of search and seizure warrants at his homes, and is also under investigation.

In all the news reports about the new Lava Jato investigations involving members of the PSDB party, the name of former governor José Serra appears in passing.

At stake are R$ 100 million in bribes that Paulo Preto allegedly kept in an apartment in São Paulo and another US$ 100 million in accounts in Switzerland.

That's no small thing. Compared to the corrupt practices of the PSDB party, the renovations to the triplex apartment and the country house that don't belong to Lula, and which led to his imprisonment, are nothing more than pocket change.

Relentless in his criticism of the Workers' Party (PT), Sergio Moro has now even changed his mind about undeclared campaign contributions, which he now considers not to be as serious as it was when he was a judge.

In Paris, where he was attending a meeting on combating financial crimes, the former judge tried to explain himself:

"There was a misinterpretation by the press. What I said in the past was that when bribe money was directed towards illegal campaign financing, it was worse than when it generated illicit enrichment. Off-the-books campaign contributions are not corruption, it's another crime. Both are serious."

How wonderful… Just change the hat and the understanding of the national hero who is being turned into juice in Brasília changes completely.

Forced to split his anti-crime package into three parts, he will now spend the rest of his life explaining himself.

Speaking of which: does he have any news about the driver Queiroz and the investigations by COAF, now under the purview of the Ministry of Justice?

The country is experiencing an unprecedented crisis of cynicism in which words have lost their meaning. Neither the written nor the spoken word has any value anymore.

What isn't fake news now is crazy news; it's all the same old story.

Even Gilmar Mendes can't hold the line anymore. The PSDB (Brazilian Social Democracy Party) members should watch out.

Life goes on.
