Janot's new complaint against Temer will fall into Fufuca's hands.

"If Minister Luiz Edson Fachin doesn't delay, it will be – to make Brazil's situation even more tragicomic – to Congressman Fufuca that the Attorney General of the Republic, Rodrigo Janot, will direct the second request to prosecute Michel Temer for obstruction of justice (and who knows what else)," says Fernando Brito, editor of Tijolaço.

If Minister Luiz Edson Fachin doesn't delay, it will be – to make Brazil's situation even more tragicomic – to Congressman Fufuca that the Attorney General of the Republic, Rodrigo Janot, will direct the second request to prosecute Michel Temer for obstruction of justice (and who knows what else).

With the news that the plea bargain agreement is in his hands, it depends on Fachin how quickly it will be approved and, consequently, how quickly Janot will present the charges while the unknown congressman from Maranhão, a former member of the PSDB party, who was one of Eduardo Cunha's shock troops, is still in office.

Fufuquinha, as he is called at age 28, will have a tough mission today and tomorrow.

There's the definition of the new fiscal target and the electoral reform which, it seems, is "going down the drain".

The chaos is widespread.

The Senate's government leader, Romero Jucá, says that Janot has "a fetish" for him and, rudely, warns: "I'm married."

Marco Aurelio Mello, when asked about the request to recuse Gilmar Mendes in the Jacob Barata case, says, "I won't talk about that guy."

On second thought, Fufuca receiving the request from the Supreme Court and the Attorney General's Office to prosecute Temer almost feels like "poetic justice."

The portrait of Brazilian institutions becomes more expressive.
