The recent death of American shipping magnate Angela Chao, the sister-in-law of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, is now a "criminal investigation," according to the Texas sheriff's office investigating matter. Chao, the CEO of the Foremost Group was found dead shortly after midnight on Feb. 11 when pulled from a car that had gone into a pond on a private ranch about 40 miles from the Texas city of Austin, CNBC reported Thursday. “This incident was not a typical accident,” the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office told state Attorney General Ken Paxton in a letter. “Although the preliminary investigation indicated this...

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...

I’m not saying Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao resigned after the January 6 Capitol Hill riot just because she owed the DC team a favor following the post-election meeting between her husband, Mitch McConnell, and Attorney General Bill Barr; who just happened to *not* take up the ethics probe of Chao following the same meeting (noted below left), but….. It sure does look sketchy. Let me explain… HatTip Ziiggii and Ben. Today The Hill is reporting on an internal DC investigation into Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao for ethics issues while she was in office. [READ HERE] The Department of Justice declined...

Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer on Sunday detailed how Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and his wife Elaine Chao are financially tied to the Chinese Communist Party. Schweizer said on Fox News Channel’s “The Next Revolution” that McConnell’s “position on China has softened over the years,” which he argued is due to the growing relationship between the Chinese government and the Chao’s company. “Really, it goes to the fact that Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao, his wife, are financially tied to the Chinese government,” Schweizer outlined. “And it comes through the shipbuilding company that Elaine Chao’s family owns....

RUSH: Here we go. Well, looks like the wife of Cocaine Mitch, the Turtle, Cocaine Mitch, by the way, is his nickname on the blogs for a reason I’ve never seen explained. So don’t look to me.

She’s Secretary of Labor, I think, Secretary Treasury, Secretary of Busing. I don’t know what. She quit. (interruption) What? (interruption) Ah, I tell you, I got a staff here that… you can’t believe how...

In my observation, it's always a mistake when children don't cut the apron strings and it's definitely a mistake in the case of Mrs. Mitch McConnell aka our Secretary of Transportation, Elaine Chao. Even at the age of sixty-seven, she's still financially and politically tied to the apron strings of her still-deeply-involved-with-China father, James Chao, which is how Mitch has found himself so fabulously wealthy and accused of being in bed with China as well.
