caused an uproar after questioning the number of people who died as a result of Hurricane Maria.

No, Trump did not question the number of people who died. He questioned the fake statistics used to multiply the official death toll by about 50 fold.

As a brief reminder the report written mainly by SJWs at GWU used an unsupported estimate of the number of people who allegedly left the island in the months after the hurricane. There were 16,608 deaths in the sixth months following the hurricane. The report estimates that there should have only been 13,633 deaths. That's because they assumed the correctness of an estimate of 3,327,917 total population before MAria and an estimate of 3,048,173 afer Maria. Those are both unsupported estimates especially the latter which was based on surveys of airline passengers about whether they were leaving and not coming back.

If the FBI wanted to find some real corruption, they could have raided themselves in Washington and saved all those travel costs.

This is excellent. After seeing the videos and pictures of pallets of water and food intentionally left sitting on the tarmacs and warehouses while the mayor tries to score political points by complaining that Trump didn’t do enough to provide sustenance to the victims of the hurricane - well that political regime deserves some comeuppance.

If they didn’t make use of what was generously donated by private citizens and also provided by the federal government at extra care and cost, and then requisitioned via all kinds of insider-deals for duplicate supplies, then they deserve investigation and prosecution. I’ve had enough of corrupt government, and it’s just insult to injury to be corrupt and then complain that there isn’t enough left over to help people after you stole or stonewalled to prevent the supplies provided from getting to the people who need it most. This goes far beyond your routine day to day corruption and I’m glad to see it investigated. Draining the swamp, PR style.

It’s a bad idea to insult the boss. Even worse to insult him when you know he did right by you.
