On Wednesday night the crisis took a bizarre turn, as a judge revealed phone conversations between President Dilma Rousseff and her predecessor Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and suggested they are trying to obstruct the course of an investigation into corruption.
...
Rousseff tells Lula that she is sending him a document which he can use "if necessary". That document confirmed Lula's nomination as a minister.
One reading of that conversation suggests that Lula should use it in case prosecutors want to charge him before he is sworn in. That would corroborate the idea that Lula's nomination is nothing but a plan to save him from prison.
