Apparently Glenn Greenwald's investigations were critical in getting him released.

If Bolsonaro thinks he is going to lose will he do something desperate? he's already had this guy locked up once to get him out of the way.
it could be an interesting time in Brazil
The fact that there is still a question about whether this is the end for Bolsonaro says so much about the current state of the world - I’d say Brazil has to be a serious candidate for the country which has dealt with Covid the worst and he was there at the front driving things, he has tens, possibly hundreds, of thousands of deaths on his hands.
