Why do these guys do this? Most of them have the economic means to NOT STEAL. Why do they go down this road and set themselves' up for the embarrassment, and to their family, not to say the time they will spend in jail.

The worse part of this is next year, another handful of politicians will be caught in the act, again.

Here in PR what this Governor is doing really has no shame, even for a politician. He is now trying to persuade public opinion to his side (influencing possible jurors), playing the status card, saying that the 19 charges are against the people of PR and not him. This guy is clearly a disgrace to the office he was "appointed" to.
