Puerto Rico city offices raided for corruption,and why is San Juan's mouthy mayor sounding so bland?

In Puerto Rico, municipal offices not far from San Juan's mayor were raided by dozens of FBI agents yesterday, with lawmen looking for evidence of fixed contracts and falsified documents. An FBI spokesman told the Washington Examiner the operation was "pretty big" and the tips came from disgusted insiders.

According to the Examiner:

Agents were seen entering the Municipal Tower with dozens of empty boxes. The federal agents deployed to the third, fourth, 14th, and 15th floors of the 16-floor building, Osorio said. They were looking for any paper and electronic documents related to "corruption" inside the city administration's purchasing and contracting departments.

This, in light of the island's bankruptcy, wasted hurricane aid, and other evidence of fiscal mismanagement, is telling.

San Juan's obnoxious mayor, Carmen Yulin Cruz Soto, whose office wasn't raided but who runs the Centro de Gobierno municipal operation as the city's top official, is the lefty mayor who tried to make so much political hay against President Trump during Hurricane Maria by accusing Trump's his relief effort of being intentionally incompetent and racist. Speaking to the cameras, Cruz said:

We are dying here and I cannot fathom the thought that the greatest nation in the world cannot figure out logistics for a small island of 100 miles by 35 miles long[.]...People are drinking off a creek. So I am done being polite. I am done being politically correct. I am mad as hell[.]... So I am asking the members of the press, to send a mayday call all over the world. We are dying here[.]...And if it doesn't stop, and if we don't get the food and the water into people's hands, what we are going to see is something close to a genocide.

It was a page drawn straight out of the Democratic Party's playbook

I have to wonder, with the hurricane that hit them, how was she able to get a t shirt screen printed so quickly?
