Let’s keep up the heat on Mitch McConnell – because after reading this bombshell article below, you probably will agree that he deserves all of the pressure we can lay on him. Like a whack on the side of the head. this article from Alternet goes a long way in answering the question of why McConnell is acting as Trump’s sure – bet enabler.
Just follow the lines in the graphic as you read the article and then wonder why this information hasn’t been made public sooner.. His marriage to Elaine Chao (now Transportation Secretary) immediately made him a multi-millionaire and thrust him ultimately on the road to becoming the Senate Majority Leader where today he holds absolute power.
Another huge perk from the marriage was his gaining of a wealthy father-in-law, James Chao, an American shipping magnate, who was making powerful connections in international circles. Chao began doing a huge trade business with the Chinese and Russian governments and meeting powerful leaders in both countries. Mitch got to interact with these leaders as well. For their part, the oligarchs perceived that McConnell looked like a great mark; one who would promote their own interests with the American government. And sure enough the millions started pouring into McConnell’s political campaign, the Leadership Fund from these Chinese and Russian oligarchs.You know the term – quid pro quo.
Even with the best intentions, McConnell is immersed in serious conflicts of interest. i.e. the swamp. No wonder he has been been enabling Trump for the last two years. He has no allegiance to the Mueller report or opening the government because its revelations might put an end to whatever links he has established with his wealthy international contacts. Check out the article and see why it becomes apparent that Mitch is compromised. And how is it that his wife gets to be Transportation Secretary with a father in the international shipping business? Fearing discovery, maybe that is why he always appears to have such a woeful look on his face
It is sickening to learn this information. McConnell is making personal aggrandizement his first priority which puts us all in peril.
Pass this article on. More Americans need to know what McConnell is up to.
