Puerto Rico’s Inept Gov’t Finally Faces Justice as FBI Agents Descend in Corruption Investigation

In the aftermath of recent hurricanes on the United States mainland, President Donald Trump’s administration has worked hard to ensure aid delivery and recovery operations ran smoothly.

Trump did so as well with Puerto Rico, a territory of the U.S. that has, like the individual states do, its own government.

However, there has been a drastic difference between how things have been handled in the mainland versus how they have been handled in Puerto Rico in regard to dealing with hurricanes. There has also been quite a bit of speculation as to why.


A raid of city government offices in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Tuesday by FBI agents probing corruption allegations, as reported by the Washington Examiner, might suggest one reason.

Here is video of the beginning of the raid. According to a Google translation, the tweet reads: “Dozens of FBI agents occupy the 15th floor of the Municipal Tower. This is how the feds arrived this morning.”

One matter that has not been speculation has been how resources were handled after they were sent to Puerto Rico in the aftermath of hurricanes Irma and Maria, which struck the island in September and October 2017.


Many supplies were later discovered not to have been distributed to the people who needed them. In the meantime, some government officials in Puerto Rica took potshots at Trump for not helping them enough when, in fact, he did send plentiful aid.

Some say this points to utter incompetence on the part of officals there, particularly given how the administration handled Hurricane Harvey, which hit Texas in September 2017, Hurricane Florence, which struck North Carolina in September, and is handling the aftermath of Hurricane Michael, which hit mainly Florida and Georgia earlier this month.

Accusations have also flown that the “corrupt” island government intentionally mishandled aid. According to the Washington Examiner, alleged corruption of Puerto Rican government officials is exactly why the FBI just conducted its raid of San Juan’s Municipal Tower.

I was so glad to see the FBI continue to focus on the corruption there.

Then if they could get rid of the gangs in San Juan - that would be great too.
