WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

To My Enemies: Take a Number and Get on Line
You should know that when Rudy Giuliani was the U.S Attorney for the Southern District, he was practically an unknown until he decided to go after elected officials, mostly in Bronx County. Former U.S Attorney Giuliani indicted Bronx Congressman Robert Garcia, Bronx Borough President Stanley Simon, Bronx County leader Stanley Friedman, and many others.
Now, U.S. District Attorney Preet Bharara is following in Giuliani’s footsteps and has decided to go after elected officials – but contrary to Mr. Giuliani, Mr. Bharara has expanded his investigation beyond Bronx County.
You should also know that there is a lot of concern almost everywhere you go about who is going to be the next elected official to be indicted.
In that regard, there are some of my enemies who are going to different radio stations and television programs claiming to know everything, and in their way, bragging and saying that the next one will be me, Senator Reverend Ruben Diaz.
The first one of these people and the most vocal of them is Mr. “Know-It-All” Gerson Borrero. The hatred and bad will he has for me is well known. He refers to me as Satan, as Lucifer, as a viper, and he certainly does not need any opportunity to try to paint me as a crook.
You should know that this hostile individual, Mr. Borrero, has been unable to hold a steady job for many years due to his outbursts and lack of self-control. His lack of professionalism was on display for the public on NY1 a few years ago, when he walked right off the set during an interview with Andrew Kirtzman. He’s been fired and dismissed from many jobs, and he can’t control himself when someone questions him. Whoever questions him, he goes after, and I have to believe that this is the case with me.
Another person who claims to be an expert on who will be indicted next is former State Senator Israel Ruiz, who was a guest today on Fred Dicker’s “Live from the State Capitol” daily radio program. Disgraced politician Israel Ruiz publicly announced that I will probably be the next one who will be indicted.
I don’t know why Fred Dicker or anyone else would believe someone who was indicted and sentenced and has the history that Israel Ruiz does. We all know that Israel Ruiz went to jail and had to resign from his seat in the State Senate many years ago for being crooked. There is an old saying in Puerto Rico that goes like this: “A crooked person thinks that everyone is crooked.”
There are others who proudly proclaim to be among my enemies, and who refuse to give me credit for being an outspoken fighter who is dedicated to the service of my constituents. My job, my integrity, my transparency, and my clean record have already been proven by so many investigations.
Those who want to take me down and continue to ask the FBI and the Attorney General and anybody else to investigate me, have been unsuccessful. So ladies and gentlemen you should know that, yes, I have been investigated all my life. People keep accusing me of this and that, and people keep praying for me to go down.
And so to all of those who are losing sleep because they are so anxious waiting for time for me to go down, I must say: Take a number and stand in line because I am in the business of giving not in the business of taking.
I am Senator Rev. Rubén Díaz and this is what you should know.
