Those who were charged, did resign. Even if not all of them did, this is very importanct factor thta is not mentioned!!!Lulu Margarida yes? 17:23, 15 October 2007 (UTC) A historical fact, that made the country stop to wait for the result is IGNORED....Lulu Margarida yes? 17:23, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Resigning does not affect their being tried by the STF: the crimes were committed in the course of their duties as parliamentarians (and/or government ministers), so they have privileged forum. So their resignation has no bearing on parliamentarian immunity, and should be left to the article about the scandal. This is an article about parliamentary immunity, not current events.--Dali-Llama 17:40, 15 October 2007 (UTC)


 * The article must refer to this outstanding historical fact that they had their PI broken. Lulu Margarida yes? 17:49, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * That's fine, but that's not the same issue as whether or not they resigned. And the fact that their PI was broken is not historical--the fact that so many were indicted at the same time, is. Others have had their PI broken before: every time the STF adjuticates a case that means the court has already suspended their PI, whether it's Collor, Dirceu, Luiz Estevam or Jáder Barbalho. All of these either are or have been tried by the STF: in order to be tried, their PI must have already been suspended in one shape or another.--Dali-Llama 17:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
