While an estimated 1.5 million Brazilians demonstrated asking for Dilma’s impeachment, an idea perked up from the political cesspool to grant Lula immunity from prosecution:
Brazil’s former president Lula da Silva ‘offered cabinet post’Job would provide immunity from prosecution as corruption probe casts shadow over government of Dilma Rousseff
Brazil’s top three papers also reported late on Monday that Mr Lula was expected to accept a ministerial position in the coming days, after a crusading federal judge was given jurisdiction to rule over money laundering charges presented against him

But a cabinet position would not grant him immunity from Brazil’s Supreme Court.
