Like the Bolsonaro family, Chico Rodrigues (DEM-RR), deputy leader of the government in the Federal Senate, seems to like the use of cash.

So much so that the Federal Police claim to have found a handful in his underwear and another between his buttocks, this Wednesday (14), in operation against the diversion of public health resources.

Now, the PF wants to know if the values ​​that would be used to prevent people from dying in the pandemic were between the legs of one of Bolsonaro’s representatives in the upper house of the National Congress.

According to the agents, about R $ 30 thousand were found in Rodrigues’ house and, part of it, in the senator himself. The PF did not report on money laundering.

The Desvid-19 operation was carried out by the Federal Police and the General Comptroller’s Office of the Union, with orders issued by Minister Luís Roberto Barroso, of the Federal Supreme Court. The information was originally published by Crusoé magazine.

There are so many ironies embedded in this story that it will certainly enter Senate proceedings.

First, in a speech on October 7, the president said: “I finished with Lava Jato. Why is there no more corruption in the government.” This Wednesday (14), he brought up the issue again, saying that if someone walks outside the line, they will take “a flying woman on the neck.” The operation showed that the problem was lower.

Second, at the now iconic ministerial meeting on April 22, the president complained about political opponents, saying that “what the boys want is our hemorrhoids.” Political analysts who pointed to this as further proof that he and the people in his immediate circle had anal fixation came under heavy fire from his fans.

Third, Bolsonaro was criticized for launching the $ 200 bill. At the time, one of the possibilities raised was that this favored the transport of illegal money, including underwear. The Bolsonaristas said that this was the culmination. Nobody knows if the PF found maned wolves, groupers or jaguars in the senator.

“It’s almost a stable union, huh Boy?”

Not to mention that, in a video that circulates on social networks, Bolsonaro played with the long period he spent with Chico Rodrigues, in the Chamber of Deputies, describing the period of “almost stable union.” In the images, the senator comments that the president “is resuming his morals.”

On March 31, 2016, then-Deputy Bolsonaro criticized governments with allies trapped with money in underwear. “I want to tell the leader of the PT, who recently passed through this gallery, that coalition presidentialism is not MMA, no! It is not throwing at the Ministry and putting money in the underwear of a parliamentary adviser, no!” He was referring to the case of an attendant who was seen, in July 2005, with dollars in underwear at an airport.

Ironically, Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro (PSL-SP) called Congressman José Guimarães (PT-CE) “deputy of the cuecão” more than once, which indicates the nickname he will give Chico Rodrigues, if it is consistent.

“I have a clean past,” the senator said in a note. He said he trusts the courts and will show that he is not involved in any crime.

The day began with the debate on the extension of the preventive prison and the judgment of the Supreme Court on the André do Rap case. It ended with the hashtag #PropinaNaBunda in the trending topics of Twitter.

It should be remembered that the Public Ministry is also attentive to the cracks in another senator, Flávio Bolsonaro (Republicans-RJ), and his former adviser Fabrício Queiroz.
