    Recall how angry the Democrats managed to make themselves over the Hurricanes that hammered Puerto Rico? Seems the FBI wants to see if it is true that the Mayor that harassed Trump is corrupt. Recall the hostile way the Democrats acted over the paper towels? Well is it Trumps fault the towels were in the shipment? Besides in context, nothing was wrong with the president tossing lightweight items. Had he tossed a case of Rum at them, all hell would have broken out.

    Read up on the Mayors troubles now. And let us all know why she is not corrupt

    Share on Facebook Tweet EmailSan Juan Mayor Carmen Yelin Cruz, who repeatedly appeared on various U.S. media outlets to cast blame for virtually every failure on Trump and his administration.


    Trump and his administration had accurately responded to those and other critiques by noting that the vast majority of the failures of the recovery effort were due to such pre-existent issues as a horrible lack of infrastructure, a culture of government favoritism and rampant corruption and inefficiency among the island’s political leaders.

    Trump may very well have been referring to Cruz — among others — when he called out the rampant corruption in Puerto Rico, as Cruz’s office — again, among others — was just raided by the FBI as part of an investigation into allegations of government corruption.

    Well said

    If the anti trump mayor is corrupt she should go to jail

    And I suspect she’s not smart enough to cover it up even from the bumbling US Dept of Justice under Rod Rosenstein

    The only surprise is that the Deep State has time to do anything except hound trump

    How do? Please point out in th original OP where anyone was said to be 100% guilty. Does the word allegations have a different meaning in Australia then th USA? Please show me where the FBI has said prove you have not been corrupt. They raided the offices to search for prove of corruption because there was a complaint. It amazes me just how intilecually dishonest the left is.

    True, but to be fair to the mayor, prior to Trump no Dem Party politician in Dem Party dominated Puerto Rico ever before had to cover up for corruption; since it's pretty much in the open and expected over there. So it's a new thing for her to have to cover her tracks.

    I am trying to figure out which post you are referring where anyone said she is guilty. None.

    You mean Kavanaugh that was investigated by the FBI seven times? The allegations from a person that didn't know what, where and when the alleged "attack" happened and couldn't even get the facts straight that she did remember?

    Are you telling us that the FBI didn't raid Cruz' office? Cruz isn't suspected of corruption? They didn't have probably cause to raid her office?

    The only ones that branded Kavanaugh guilty without any evidence at all, not one iota, is the Democrats. You don't have the moral high ground here. You are looking pretty lame right about now. My advice to you if you were a friend (which you aren't) would be to stop, just stop. Don't embarrass yourself anymore, but you aren't and you won't.

    I've spent much of the last 25 years in Latin America and there is corruption and incompetence everywhere. The one exception may be Costa Rica, which is at least trying to turn the system around as best they can. But tradition, culture, the laws and the bureaucracy are difficult obstacles to overcome.

    It may hurt their national pride but it's well past time to call in outside help to learn how to manage a country properly so these people don't have to leave their communities, homes and families. But of course that's not likely to ever happen.

    "In response to the raid, Cruz stated via Twitter that she had instructed her staff to engage in “total collaboration” with the FBI, and added, “If someone has done something wrong, they should be subjected to due process and face the consequences of their actions.”

    Wow, talk about the OPPOSITE of Trump...
