She was a trainee and, after graduation, a lawyer at the office of 2006 homage of the Secretariat

Dirceu in Lava Jato),[10][7] between 1995 and 2000, an adviser to Council of Narcotics
the Secretariat of Public Security of the government Geraldo
Alckmin in São Paulo from 2001 to 2002, the year in which she finished her doctorate and resigned to
accompany its adviser, the then minister of justice Miguel Reale Júnior, like adviser.[8]

In 2003, Paschoal became a professor at the University of São Paulo, where she teaches criminal law.[2] In
the same year, she and her sisters founded their own law firm, Paschoal Advogados,[11] located in the region
of Avenida Paulista and specializing in tax, financial and environmental law.[8]

In 2015, Paschoal co-authored the petition for impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff, received the same
year by Eduardo Cunha, and the following year, accepted by the Chamber of Deputies and judged by the
Federal Senate, which forced the president out of office.[12]

Douglas Kirchner, in an administrative proceeding after he was accused of physical and psychological
aggression against his wife, Tamires de Souza Alexander. Paschoal claimed religious freedom for the
aggressor, saying Kirchner had committed the acts under the influence of the pastor of the church to which
he belonged, and was being tried for having believed. The National Council of the Public Prosecution,
however, decided to fire the prosecutor.[14][15]

The impeachment of Dilma Rousseff

Protocol

On September 1, 2015, Paschoal filed a petition with the lawyers Hélio Bicudo and Miguel Reale Júnior in
the Chamber of Deputies that initiated the process of impeaching Dilma Rousseff.

According to lawyers, Dilma committed crimes of responsibility under the Constitution and Fiscal
Responsibility Law (LRF), including the following:

Acts against probity in administration;[16]

Acts against the budget law;[16]
Acts against compliance with laws and judicial decisions;[16]
Crime against custody and legal employment of public money.[16]

Answers
On March 30, 2016, in a statement to the special chamber committee analyzing the impeachment petition,
Janaina Paschoal alleged that through BNDES the government sent money to countries such as Angola,
Cuba, and others, which the bank contested in an official statement, saying it did not send funds abroad, nor
did it carry out any confidential operations, countering the lawyer's charge that shipments would have been
made in secrecy.

Political career
After working on the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff, reflecting on her future in politics and invitations
from diverse parties,[9] Paschoal joined the Liberal Social Party (PSL), the current party of Jair
Bolsonaro.[17]

"On the last day of the deadline, I joined the [PSL] party. Many people already linked to the acronym have
recommended me, except for one point or another, the party's status confers on what I think. There are
reports of corruption scandals involving the acronym, or its members, and I did not join in thinking about
being a candidate for position A or B. I joined in order to have the possibility, a possible candidacy would
not be possible," she said.

Initially, the leadership of the PSL in São Paulo invited her to join the governor's race for the party, but she
rejected them.[18] Other positions were also suggested to her, including the vice presidency, whose points
were being clarified in talks with Bolsonaro. However, on August 4, 2018, she gave up for family reasons,
since the family could not accompany her to Brasilia.[19]

On August 14, 2018, she announced that she would be a candidate for a state deputy of São Paulo, having
the electoral number 17317, with an education and public safety platform.[20] She was elected with
2,060,786 votes, 9.88% of the valid votes, being the state deputy with the most votes in the state of São
Paulo and the most in Brazil.[21]

Positions

In June 2016, Paschoal said that "politicians will think more before committing crimes", in reference to
Operation Lava Jato,[22] and the 10 Anti-Corruption Measures on the grounds that it will give the Public
Prosecutor greater power over other institutions. She also criticized the abuse of authority bill, also being
discussed in Congress. In her words, the legislation was proposed with the aim of "embarrassing those who
work in repression against corruption". The lawyer also opposed the bill restricting the Federal Supreme
Court's (STF) judgments being broadcast live on TV Justice, stating that this is to silence them.[23]

In November 2016, she voiced her opposition to the amnesty to Box 2.[24] On November 24, 2016, she said
that approving the amnesty is a breach of decorum. "The amnesty clause is an indication of what people
have been looking for in the streets," Paschoal posted on Twitter. According to her, "to approve the amnesty
is breach of propriety" of the parliamentarians and, even if the proposal were overturned by the STF in
future, the deputies that benefited from the amnesty would not be punished. "If the accused had their
punishment extinguished on the basis of the amnesty, any subsequent decision of the STF would not be
retroactive", she added.[25]

In May 2017, following the political upheaval surrounding JBS, she said that the audio of President Michel
Temer had to be analyzed in conjunction with the purchase of dollars by JBS on the day before the scandal,
which must also be investigated.[26][27] Paschoal also said that Temer should resign.[28]
