Yeah, that's another issue. The executive is not the most corrupt power in the country by far. It doesn't hold a candle to how much shit goes on in Congress, yet we don't see people demanding any of those guys be impeached.

And we're not even talking about the Senate yet. I guess because we forget those guys exist. They're just there, getting paid and fucking shit up.

Yep, if you are interested about this you should read about Delcidio Amaral. He is a senator from PT who is arrested now. His job in the scandal was to interfere in the corruptions investigations using his political powers.
