Elaine Chao Cited for Misuse of Office by Inspector General

The Transportation Department’s Inspector General made public on Wednesday a report that cites repeated examples of former Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao allegedly using her staff and her office to help benefit her family and their business operations and revealed that staff members at the agency had raised ethics concerns.

Elaine Chao is Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) wife, who notably resigned the day after the Capitol riot.

The inspector general’s investigation detailed a series of instances in which Elaine Chao reportedly directed her staff to spend federal government time and resources to help with matters related to a family shipping company and her father.

“A formal investigation into potential misuses of position was warranted,” Mitch Behm, the department’s deputy inspector general, said on Tuesday in a letter to House lawmakers, accompanying a 44-page report detailing the investigation and the findings of wrongdoing.

Mitch and Mrs. are guilty of treason by colluding with the CCP. They both need some prison time.

Someone on Mark Levine a couple of weeks ago said she took Mitch and her Dad to China a few years ago and ended up with about $20million in their bank account.

Well, Mitch, I guess your sucking up to the RATs has done you no good. You truly are a fool.

Pandering to the Democrats and Never-Trumpers helped you not a bit, did it, Mitch?

People like to point at Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer as nasty, utterly
corrupt examples, when they have always been 2nd fiddle to the sneakiest,
most corrupt entity there... Mitch McConnell.

(And his sidekick Linsey Graham.)

NOTHING Prevents the AG from Kentucky from conducting his own Criminal Investigation into one of it’s residents, and now they can Subpoena McConnell’s Tax Returns without question.

Very Few Federal Laws can be Violated without also Violating State Laws.

No sympathy from here Mitch.

You gave cover to an election steal.

Enjoy what’s coming to you, while the rest of us sit on our hands
just like you did, while you get worse than Trump did.

Why spend your life as a real estate developer and toiling away under state and federal regulations when you can just join FedGov and have the taxpayers and foreign governments just throw the money at you?

Conflict schmonflict!

Chao’s dad has ties to the CCP; the CCP practically gave the family their shipping company and doubled their fleet of ships for free and gave them exclusive shipping contracts. Look it up if you don’t believe me, it was reported and can still be found on the internet way back machine.
