There are major questions about how Flavio Bolsonaro left Brazil this morning with his family for the US without detection by Brazil.
All morning, Brazilian authorities were utterly confused and clueless. As rumors circulated that Bolsonaro had left Brazil, they had no idea if it was true. At one point, they thought they had located a plane in Argentina, but Bolsonaro wasn't on it. That seems to have been a decoy.
Some Brazilian media outlets are now reporting that the US Govt did not merely agree to allow Bolsonaro to enter, but actively planned, participated in and even executed the exit of Bolsonaro and his family from Brazil to the US: meaning that it was a covert extraction operation by US officials carried out right under the noses of Brazilian intelligence and law-enforcement agencies, who had no idea it was happening.
(Bolsonaro has now arrived in the US, but the secrecy of all this means the US Govt has not publicly spoken on it. Everyone, including me, is working on finding out their version).
There are lots of questions for both governments, some pretty serious implications as well, and ultimately lots of embarrassment for Brazilian officials no matter how it happened (to say nothing of the authoritarian and anti-democratic stench of having Brazil's globally notorious tyrannical judge order the passport seizure of Lula's opponent a mere 7 minutes after Lula was declared the winner).

Bolton previously urged that Edward Snowden be executed, and Julian Assange be imprisoned for life, for informing the public.

Who was running the US Government and Executive Branch during the extensive amounts of time that Joe Biden was cognitively incapable of making decisions?
Those who exploited that situation to empower themselves were the ones who also hid the truth. Sounds a bit coup-like.

Their main problem is they can't explain why Americans who aren't paid to follow politics clearly saw for years Biden's cognitive decline, but somehow Dems and media allies with the greatest access, and whose job it is to know such things, were the only ones who couldn't see it.

This headline is exactly right: the scandal about the years-long cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline is not about Biden's actions, but the actions of Democrats and their media allies who brazenly lied to the public to try to help him win the 2024 election.
That's what makes it so intensely repulsive for Hakeem Jeffries and David Axelrod to demand everyone stop talking about this due to Biden's health. They're not protecting Biden, as they pretend. They're exploiting Biden's cancer to protect themselves:
