Democrats hid the aid Trump sent to Puerto Rico. This is a crime.


From the comments:
They let people die so Trump would look bad.

They should be prosecuted for numerous grave charges - especially as it seems obvious someone had a plan to "salt" these in later with general sales & pocket the money.

These are treasures - no one overlooks this high value aid or "forgets" about it - this was orchestrated

Remember how the media made Trump look like he was evil for calling out this corruption.. Now they are crickets when they should be apologising and acknowledging the truth! Trump was right once again!...

Unbelievable. Intentionally withholding aid to victims of a natural disaster just to make your political opponent look bad is a crime against humanity. How many people died for lack of that aid? Sick....

Shall we hold our breath waiting for the mainstream media to deliver their apologies to Trump? Puerto Rico is plagued by corruption and incompetence.

Bib government Ryan: "Don't call Puerto Rico bill a 'bailout'"


When is a bailout not a bailout?  Let Paul Ryan, who's trying to pass a bailout bill for Puerto Rico explain:

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) blasted Wall Street investors on Wednesday as he tried to tamp down conservative discontent with a bill to assist Puerto Rico.

The GOP leader charged that “special money interest groups on Wall Street” are trying to sabotage the legislation by billing it as a “bailout.” ...

But at a hearing Wednesday on the bill, several conservative lawmakers argued the GOP-crafted legislation is effectively a bailout for an island struggling with an ailing economy that is billions of dollars in debt.

Several Republicans expressed concern with allowing the island to renegotiate its debts, and insisted taxpayers would eventually have to foot the bill for Puerto Rican relief.

Meanwhile, Democrats have expressed openness to the bill, but have said they cannot back it without some changes, most notably to the powers of an outside fiscal control board.

So the only difference between the Republicans who want to bail out Puerto Rico and Democrats who want to bail out Puerto Rico is that the Democrats don't want any oversight on the bailout money.
