1/ Anti-corruption rhetoric was central to @JairBolsonaro's victory. His Vice President, General Hamilton Mourão, just received a stroke of huge luck: his son was given a mega-promotion by the state bank along with a *tripling* of his salary. Congrats! www1.folha.uol.com.br/poder/2019/01/… 
2/ Meanwhile, Bolsonaro's son Flavio, now a Senator, had his aide & driver caught transferring huge amounts of money - far more than his salary - including some deposited into the account of Jair Bolsonaro's wife. The aide & his family keep failing to appear for questioning.
3/ Then there's Bolsonaro's other son, Eduardo, just re-elected to Congress with the highest vote total in history. He's scheduled to respond to a criminal process for allegedly sending threats to his ex-girlfriend, a journalist once aligned with his party buzzfeed.com/julianakataoka…
4/ The Bolsonaro coalition is an unsustainable mix of oligarchs, generals, religious fanatics, political paranoids & assorted fringe figures. They are already warring with each over power & positioning, leaking incriminating things about each other. He's been in office 8 days.
