"Mr. #Lula da Silva remains the front-runner in the October #election because of his success in reversing a long economic decline.
Judge Moro, in something that Americans might consider to be a kangaroo court proceeding, has sentenced Lula to 9 1/2 years in prison.
If Lula is barred, the election result could have very little legitimacy… in a system where a politicized judiciary can exclude a popular political leader from running for office."
