Journalist Victor Pougy joins The Katie Halper Show to give a brief rundown of the (literal) trials and tribulations of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, two-term Worker's Party president of Brazil, over the past five or so years. Lula was convicted of corruption and sent to prison after his presidency, but after appeals and various machinations/conspiracies and rulings and contradictory rulings, he is finally a free man without a criminal record. Victor explains what this means for upcoming elections and the effect that Lula's influence has already had on Brazilian politics and policy.
