Emails Reveal Coordinations Between Chao, McConnell Offices
« on: February 23, 2019, 05:03:20 pm »
A trove of more than 800 pages of emails sheds new light on the working relationship between Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, one of the most potent power couples in Washington — including their dealings with McConnell supporters from their home state of Kentucky.

Chao has met at least 10 times with politicians and business leaders from the state in response to requests from McConnell’s office, according to documents provided to Politico by the watchdog group American Oversight. In some cases, those people later received what they were hoping for from Chao’s department, including infrastructure grants, the designation of an interstate highway and assistance in getting state funds for a highway project — although the documents don’t indicate that the meetings led to those outcomes.

Swampy?  I always heard that where there is smoke there is fire.  It'll be interesting to see how this progresses

The shot across the bow. Apparently McConnell needed a reminder of who butters his toast.

    McConnell and his Kentucky political cronies were largely responsible for our new UN Ambassador, also.

Her pappy was chairman of the Barren County, Kentucky Democratic Party; I'm sure the McConnell's have some sort of relationship with them.

Coordination between McConnell and Chao???  Surely you jest! /s


I'll bet that if someone were to really look into this they would find the coordination extends far beyond just this husband and wife team.

Married couple communicates with each other. Shocking news.

In other news, water is wet, film at 11.

Funny thing is we have a bitch in NY who is hell bent on turning this country into a socialist state.  MSM doesn't seem so interested in that.

I wish Bevin or another conservative from Kentucky would run against him again.
