Gilmar Mendes's vote in HC 164.493 concludes that the duty of impartiality was violated, declares that the conclusion "is ascertainable from the facts narrated in the original petition" and includes, among the seven facts analyzed, the acceptance of the invitation to be Minister of Justice; the vote also cites Operation Spoofing dialogues "merely for historical record".

Limitations: A vote, not the final ruling. The majority of the Second Panel did not necessarily adopt all of the grounds; Cármen Lúcia said she was not relying on the messages (Poder360).
According to Gilmar Mendes's vote, on February 9, 2021 the STF Second Panel confirmed a decision by Ricardo Lewandowski that gave Lula's defense access to the Operation Spoofing dialogues (Rcl 43.007), without deciding on their use as evidence in criminal cases.
