It could be that Judge Zavascki's murder in January has turned Brazil's otherwise malleable judiciary against Temer.

Petrobras: Brazil judge Teori Zavascki dies in plane crash
20 January 2017

A prominent Brazilian Supreme Court judge has died in a plane crash.

Two other bodies were found at the crash site in the sea near Paraty, some 250km (160 miles) south of Rio de Janeiro.

Teori Zavascki, 68, was overseeing a massive corruption investigation at the state oil company, Petrobras.

Dozens of politicians have been arrested as part of the inquiry, known as Operation Car Wash, over the past two years.

. . .

The testimonies are expected to provide evidence against powerful politicians in Brazil - including members of the current government of President Temer.

Thanks for refreshing our memories about the murder of a Brazilian Supreme Court Judge. That's really aiming high, isn't it?
Hope it won't work for the assassins.

unfortunately, another version was installed in the U.S. White House recently. The corruption is just better managed and packaged in the U.S.

Plus, the media in Latin America tend to be in politicians' faces a lot more than our media is here.

Part of that may have to do with some differences between us and our neighbors to the south as far as public mindsets go.

We (generally) prefer to be told that everything's normal; Latin Americans, on the other hand, have stopped believing that about their countries so long ago, they expect - even demand - that their media tell them exactly how bad things are.

That said, Latin media does have one real problem though: they tend to be owned by ultra-conservative business/agrarian interests, such that right-wing wrongdoing usually gets lighter treatment than left-wing wrongdoing (or even alleged wrongdoing) does.
