Carwash Op

When someone comes into a position of power in a government, it is for the purpose of taking care of business for the "common good" of the people. When that person uses their power for their own benefit instead of for the common good, it's called corruption.

Accusations and investigations, bribery and sweet deals, firings and arrests, all of these are convulsing Brazilian politics. "Operation Carwash"is a big campaign to clean up government corruption.

According to a "popular media commentator," "in the last hundred days we have impeached a president, ousted and arrested a leader of the house, arrested a senator for interfering with investigations under orders from the former president, arrested and convicted dozens of politicians, and just hours ago ousted the president of the senate."
