Marcos Rogério: Your Excellency made your own defense, with the conscience you have and with the knowledge of all the information that involves Your Excellency's conduct, but it is up to the institution of the Federal Senate to demand the truth, to demand that the investigation be deepened, to truly identify those who are involved in this plot, involved in this scandal.
Marcos Rogério: Now, another fact — and I will end my statement — is that this happens precisely at a moment after Your Excellency faced, within this Plenary of the Federal Senate, a nomination of someone who was presented to be a Minister of the STF.
Your Excellency faced — and, for the first time in the history of the Senate, in the last 132 years, the Federal Senate rejected a nomination for Minister of the STF.
Marcos Rogério: Suddenly, Your Excellency becomes the target of a set of orchestrated attacks...
Marcos Rogério: And I repeat: I am not defending Your Excellency, I am pointing to the facts — I am pointing to the facts — and these facts need and deserve to be investigated, but it is fair to ask — it is fair to ask — why this is happening precisely after Your Excellency took that position.
