San Juan Mayor Who Criticized Trump Now Being Investigated by FBI for Corruption
IWB ^ | Thinker

Posted on 06/18/2018 6:22:03 AM PDT by davikkm

San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz infamously picked a fight with President Trump in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria last year, the storm that devastated Puerto Rico. The official death toll was 64, but Gov. Ricardo Rossello suggested the actual number is higher. President Trump signed a $36.5 billion aid package for the nation. Some of the aid took awhile to get to its destination. Cruz took aim at the White House in those months, accusing the U.S. government of turning its back on them. Some of her messages were indirect. She wore a “Nasty Woman” shirt on CNN, in reference to Trump’s insult for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign. Others were not blatant, like when she said Trump “speaks out of both sides of his mouth.”

“On the one hand, he says he wants to help Puerto Rico. On the other hand, he imposed a 20% income tax on every good and service that comes from Puerto Rico into the United States. On the one hand, he says we will be with you for the long run. And on the other hand, the [Food and Drug Administration] is trying to convince pharmaceutical companies to leave Puerto Rico,” she told Amanpour. “He says he cares and he came here and threw paper towels at us,” she continued, referring to Trump’s visit to the city of Guaynabo in October. “And on the other hand, he doesn’t provide his administration with a clear set of goals to help Puerto Rico.”

She’s a Dem/Lib—She has nothing to worry about from the FBI.

The one from the island of lesbos had nothing but hate for Trump. So much that she blamed Trump for the island’s troubles.

Hopefully, that is changing. Besides, she is a small enough fish, that the Hillary gang won’t bother protecting her. They have too much to worry about right now.

"....she told Amanpour....."

That Mideastern wench is one of the nastier CNN anti-American snakes to grace the airwaves. But you would expect that from the fake news headquarters.

Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, the only city on the Gulf Coast with Democrats in both city and state government. The result was disaster. Puerto Rico has the same situation with the same result. Predictable.

Rep. Louis Guterez will be the next to be investigated for corruption following the PR hurricane.

“She’s a Dem/Lib—She has nothing to worry about from the FBI.”

FBI is in a shambles and totally without effective leadership.

No doubt the tip of the iceberg.

Still, I no longer have any blind faith in FBI. They’ll have to do better than “lying under oath” to convince me.

So what, Trump is forcing millions of immigrants to walk across the border so he can steal their children and force them into slave labor camps. /s

Investigated by the feds? What, she didn’t give them a large enough cut from all the millions of tax dollars she skimmed off?
