> They made those recordings confidential and stalled official attempts at investigation as much as possible.
They made the recordings unavailable to Congress because several members of Congress are being investigated for their involvement. Also, it's not a legal responsibility of Congress to investigate criminal and terrorist attacks - that responsibility belongs to the police, as the responsibility to ensure the safety of the president is with the Institutional Security Cabinet, which, until recently, was stacked with Bolsonaro supporters (one was recorded serving water to intruders).
It's naïve to the extreme to think the federal police doesn't have the full recordings (CNN showed a few, out of order, with selected faces blurred, including the guy serving the intruders) and hasn't had them from the start, as the first thing they'd request would be those recording (and they know how many cameras there are, and how much material they should have - running time times the number of cameras).
I know they had the recordings. They just didn't release them because they obviously implicated Lula and his people.
They literally buried Lava Jato. Biggest corruption scandal in the country and they erased it all. Lula actually gets to claim he's innocent, they dropped the charges. You think I trust anything these people "investigate"? Not a chance. I'll take my chances with the court of public opinion. It's got way more credibility than these "institutions".
Because the police wouldn't want to alert the people being investigated they were recorded committing crimes.

There is no evidence in any recording made available. Quite the contrary - there is ample evidence of misconduct by the district's police that answers to the secretary of public safety, who was visiting Bolsonaro at the time, by the military, and by the members of the institutional security cabinet, mostly carryovers from the Bolsonaro government.
Days prior to the events both ABIN (intelligence services) and PF (federal police) warned Flavio Dino (minister of law & order) of the build-up and he did nothing (which is a crime). Everyone in the country knew this thing was going to happen.
