The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

The US government — administration to administration, regardless of political party — was clearly unaware that Rocha was betraying the country for more than four decades. At the very least someone should have realized that Rocha, who negatively impacted the 2002 presidential election in Bolivia, was deeply problematic and needed further investigation.

Pro-establishment narrative

This arrest was a victory for the DOJ and FBI. They caught wind of Rocha’s betrayal of the US in November 2022 and it took just about a year to accumulate enough evidence to bring him in. During the investigation, the FBI was able to acquire vital intelligence that could help with future investigations or dealings with Cuba in the future.
