I've seen a couple of recent comments on the FB page from folks who understand Mexico. They make the point that in Mexico, politicos and others will tell you what they think you want to hear, rather than lose face by saying "No." JR is warned to be careful as he is an easy target for exploitation.
I wouldn't be surprised if that is what is behind the "good news, bad news" cycle referenced very accurately above. Even the sighting of Jenny catching a ride with the Corona driver could be just someone saying what the PI wanted to hear. Because bribing is expected, as he's been told repeatedly, he is possibly being given the runaround because he won't do it. At least he knew where he stood dealing with U.S. government representatives when they said they couldn't help because Jenny is not a citizen. He didn't like it, but he didn't get jerked around the way he is now. It's a tough cultural road for JR to navigate. He needed expert help from the beginning, I'm afraid. JMO
