Hello my friend. I don't understand well your point here. I am including Lula in that trend, although Ortega may be the worst case.

Yes, I do not mean you neglect to include Lula, but that your gentle treatment of his case shows great restraint. Sadly, convictions for corruption are not rare, and clearly there is a systemic problem because there are vastly more cases that never result in conviction. Just yesterday the utterly astounding (and blatantly false) claim by the US Dept. of Justice was made that there is no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed anyone, and President Trump derided a reporter that raised the issue.
Perhaps that case and the notorious complicity of Donald Trump, many celebrities, billionaires, and powerful persons - as well as the failure to convict Sean Combs (Puff Daddy, or P. Diddy) for his many terrible crimes that have been alleged to involve former US Presidents Obama and Clinton, LeBron James, and notables in the music industry - provide some illumination as to why corruption is so prevalent in the Americas, and why there is a network of the corrupt that give aid and comfort to each other.
Advancing the careers of corrupt criminals is very profitable to blackmailers.
I am not digging deep yet in the affair of the Epstein's files. For now, just seeing Elon apparently trolling Trump with it. But I agree with your general perspective on this issue. Thanks again for your sound feedback and regular support here, my friend.
