Mitch McConnell And His Wife In Hot Water After $78M Scandal Surfaces

[Cinnabar]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his wife, Transportation Department Secretary Elaine Chao, are facing a fierce backlash after a Politico report revealed that she helped steer $78 million for her husband’s favorite projects in his state.
As reported by The Independent, Chao, who was picked by Donald Trump as to head the Department of Transportation, assigned aide Todd Inman to serve as an intermediary to McConnell and state officials in Kentucky — the state for which he has been serving as a U.S. senator since the mid-1980s.

Walter Shaub, former director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, has denounced the arrangement as wildly inappropriate. “We are now a full-fledged banana republic,” Shaub posted on Twitter. “We have nothing to teach the rest of the world except what not to be.”

Shaub also tweeted, “This is the sort of thing that should lead to the impeachment of a corrupt official — that is, if her corrupt husband weren’t in a position to block that impeachment.”

Silicon Valley techie Adam Rifkin, in response to Shaub’s “banana republic” comment, tweeted, “How many of Mitch McConnell’s favored projects for Kentucky are funded by Russian oligarchs?”

But this is just the tip of the iceberg for McConnell. Recent reporting shows that the Senate Majority Leader is like the president. He is not only a shameless partisan, he The New York Times reports that Chao has blatantly leveraged her position in Trump’s Cabinet to benefit her family’s shipping business, the Foremost Group. In 2017, she had planned a visit to Beijing, ostensibly on government business, and has also arranged for members of the family to attend government meetings. This so alarmed the U.S. embassy that staffers there got in touch with the State Department to find out how to handle it.

McConnel is such a corrupt soulless POS that there will be people lined up to dance on his grave when he finally croaks. His blatant sociopathy is only rivaled by that of the orange monstrosity squatting in The White House.

This is scratching the surface. They are both in DEEP, corrupt, criminal and ugly.

Total horse mierda.

I will repeat...

This is scratching the surface. They are both in DEEP, corrupt, criminal and ugly business. But since TRUMP'S FAMILY BUSINESS allows MILLIONs in INCOME, undisclosed and disclosed, to roll in why shouldn't the SEC of TRANSP and her husband, the SEN MAJORITY LEADER?

Were through the looking glass folks!

PS Hear about the sale of Trump property in CALIFORNIA just sold (or just disclosed) and who BOUGHT IT? When a FOREIGN politician wants to cozy up to a US PRESIDENT, just pay double for a piece of a Trump property's worth. Might give you entre in the world of power. Of course it was only a $16,000,000 deal (valued last year at about $8MIL, maybe Trump won't even notice).
