Rachel Maddow reviews some of the recent allegations of corruption against Trump Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, wife of Mitch McConnell, and relays a report from the Wall Street Journal that Chao has sold the stock she had in an asphalt company that drew criticism for appearances of a conflict of interest.

Chao? Mong Cha Cha ! HongKong DrainTheTrumps

Chao knows she’s under investigation, so suddenly decides to divest herself of stock she was supposed to take care of previously. Hope you’re booted like Pruitt!

................................... LOCK HIM UP

How come they're not in prison? The common man does less and spends a lifetime in prison!!! LockHerUp

Speaking of career criminals........

Only do right if you get caught sad

Cocain Mitch and is wily wife are at it again.

They need to leave their offices what they have done is a crime maybe McConnel will ask Cavanaugh for freeing him this is a sin and unjustified to our democracy

Gerrymandarin?

Ooops... Too late. We see what you did there.

Isn't it a little late for that? Can you imagine how she and her husband are laughing at us & what an easy mark America is.

Has he cracked his face

Too late! Pair of turtles have been caught! Uh-um...Where is the federal law agencies? Why are they not investigating this fragrant breach of trust, and illegality? Why hasn't McConnell been suspended, pending investigation into corruption of office!

morgfair SEC_Enforcement

What an odd couple.

P of 💩💩

Selling stock does not change fact that she fast-tracked millions of dollars of projects for KY so her husband Mitch McConnell can claim accomplishments for 2020 election. They both should be investigated & vacate their posts immediately.

So Mrs. Mitch is as corrupt as Mr. Mitch? Well whodathunk?!

Almost comically corrupt

Too little too late to not be a lie.

O Mitch....

McConnell & Chao, the married couple that’s been conning America through public office since 1993.

She should have never been allowed to be nominated Secretary of Transportation .

Guilty as charged. .senatemajldr & his wife, .ElaineChao are Swampcreatures & .realDonaldTrump is the SwampKing. IndivisibleTeam TheResistance SignOfResistance voteGOPout in 2020. resist Resistance indivisible

This should be a bigger story than it is especially since this is the majority leader’s wife and he has benefited from everything she has done too.

Better late than never. Criniminals everywhere in the gop.

.ElaineChao senatemajldr CorruptionTeam VoteThemOut VoteThemAllOut The CorruptGOP continues to look the other way and are stealing the AmericanPeople blind. We must get rid of all these CorruptPoliticians. MitchSoCorrupt mitchmustgo MitchMcConnell is a RussianAsset

Gotta love Mitch-the-Bitch's facial expression! 🤣😂😉

That’s why senatemajldr says he’s the grim reaper, covering up all the corruption. Republicans are as unethical as they come, no surprise they’re aiding and abetting the TrumpCrimeFamily

She’s with HIM? Dafuque

How much money did she make from the sell?

The whole bunch of them are just crooks

Crooked as her ancient useless to America husband!

Smart move. Time to cashier before the looming debt crisis. She has first hand info from “The Pinhead”.

Too little, too late

Too late.

Horrible person

Tooo late

Too late, cupcake!

There needs to be an investigation into the shady dealings of this couple...we know China has put millions into their pockets ..but how much..for what and who else is contributing to their bank accounts. What are they getting form Mr & Mrs in return?

swampy as a pit of gators

That’s not enough. Did Chao fire her assistant who only worked to arrange $78 million in DOT contracts for her husband’s home state (and his 2020 re-election campaign)? Chao needs to go and she and the aide should go before Congress.

Two ćorrupt people.

Oh Please.

Corruption on display

Mitch senatemajldr got💰 from his in-laws while believed he outsmarted his Chinese family, his in-laws in return hugely benefited from dumb Mitch, bc he’s a corrupt selfish coward. SecElaineChao maddow RepCohen heraldleader courierjournal USSenate washingtonpost ewarren

TOO LATE BABY! THE HORSE IS OUT OF THE BARN.

Is that like robbing a bank then returning just one bag of cash and no charges will be filed? 🤔 only for politicians because they're above our laws.

Investigations............oh can't wait for that barr thing......

That picture looks like, “she got him by the balls”!!!

Why now? If you are a realDonaldTrump supporter like KillBill Mitch senatemajldr or ChineseSpy Chao, then don't hold back, be a crook till you get fired or resign. They are after all the American Netanyahus.

Take this and consider whether some of the decisions they have made in the past (including judges for Mitch) were for the benefit of the country first or their bank accounts.

Too little too late. They've been caught with their hands in the cookie jar

TLTL=too little too late

Still not good enough.

He is cashing checks and blocking truth.

HC_Richardson Would the sell off be a part of the corruption - you know the profit part.

soledadobrien Their all criminals

Just a little late, don't you think?

HC_Richardson So telling that it took daylight to make her act. No one is swampier. Trumps gonna “Drain that swamp”. I have friends who bought into all his campaign bs and have paid no attention since, still believe he is.

McConnell and his wife both need to be investigated

Oh, so it's all cool if I sell the TV I ripped off?

Corrupt couple of Kentucky. The trump administration has corrupted the entire GOP party. They’ve sold out their country for trump & $$$. These people do no care. He know he’s going to be voted out. He & his wife are trying to steal all the $ that they can get their hand on

I think Mitch and Elaine should be forced to live out there golden years in a 17th floor apartment in Tokyo with there air purifier and not go outside because they can't breath outside.

StillUnsocial Oh, but she didn't really mean it. And look at that smile. How could that smile be deeply, offensively, dripping in international criminal corruption?

senatemajldr & wife so corrupt

HC_Richardson Why are elected officials (?) and the cabinet allowed to own stock in private companies in the first place

Susan_Hennessey Chao & McConnell are corrupt. In politics to get wealrhier. They lie, cheat & steal to enrich themselves. Perfect for this admin. Power & $ are all they care about. Get them out!

Now all of a sudden they see it smh

The TrumpsPartyOfCorruption

soledadobrien Lock her up.

What corruption

Lock ‘em up!

🦅🇺🇸

soledadobrien DISGRACEFUL ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE SWAMP

TOO LITTLE TOO LATE Cheater like the rest of the republicans Mitch is a really stupid !

Too late. She should be indicted like Martha Stewart

cowgirlup1a For a huge profit. CorruptGOP

Kaye3888 Clearly, Mitch McConnell is a dirt bag and a self-serving sycophant. senatemajldr

Is that like dumping stolen goods? senatemajldr SecElaineChao resign

Doesn't make them any less corrupt! ResignMcConnels senatemajldr SecElaineChao

Too late grifter. Keep following the money

But there no consequences, which is a privilege of power

soledadobrien Swampy!

soledadobrien What a choad

soledadobrien Lock them up

Sell off, while still benefiting from the corruption.

Thirty percent of white Americans are okay with her corruption judging from the poll numbers. What’s really sad is that FBI normally investigates political corruption has been ordered off investigating the McConnell’s by AG Barr.

soledadobrien Swamp

soledadobrien Kinda late, isn't it?

You can sell, run and hide but the the long arm of the law will find you.

Of press is going to go after her, fine but have to go after Elijah Cummings' wife too

soledadobrien Endless, bottomless corruption in all things modern day Republican, it seems

sunnyelmo8181 Chao definitely is a bad pick for the position of Secretary of Transportation! Her ties with CCP will harm Republican Party and realDonaldTrump in 2020. I think she’d better leave ASAP and her husband deserves a retirement.

Relax, they are Republicans. Nothing will happen to them.

Allegations, so it Must be True and she's Guilty. Liberal Lunatics Justice for all. No thanks I'll stick to the American Rule of law, Innocent Until Proven Guilty. STOPTHELYING

How sweet! And with her grandfather smiling on with her.

Sold off shares that made a profit because of their actions? I'm no financial expert, but isn't that insider trading? I seem to recall Martha Stewart going to prison for less...

soledadobrien Oh Allegations The new facts for mslsd Sprinkled with anonymous sources for flavor

Still Corrupt!

Too late. LockHerUp and her little Mitch too.

cuffs for both.

Just one more reason to 'DITCH MITCH!!!' Not only is he responsible for destroying our democracy one piece at a time, now we find out Chao is as corrupt as any of the 'CABINET OF CLOWNS' and McConnell is personally benefitting from her conflicts of interest!

Cover Hillary’s foundations and foreign donors and Maxine’s mansion and Bernie’s three houses. Even if this is true about Chao it’s nada.

Susan_Hennessey Too little, too late.... she's as corrupt as her dear hubby and should be out as Secretary of Transportation... And if she's done anything that's prosecutable, I would love to see that happen too....

She must be fired!!

Susan_Hennessey 'Doing the right thing starts at the beginning of the day, not after you've been caught.'

Too late for that

What a couple

CRIMINAL MITCH MCCONNELL FAMILY . TRAITORS TO AMERICA . LOCK THEM UP .

Two corrupt humans who have benefited at the expense of others!

A little late She should be fined 3x the amount she made since she was put in office

How McConnell & Chao used political power to enrich family March 2018

And the swamp just keeps on filling... Walkawayfromtrump

Entire God Damned Republican party are criminals.

More Washington greed. senatemajldr needs to get control of his house before telling the rest of us what’s good and not good. The example of power and greed. Swamp Hypocrite

That is not enough. She needs to resign!

Sure she did!

Can’t be trusted with the smaller stuff, who knows what type of malfeasance could be out of sight?

The most dangerous and corrupt people in government!! Please VOTE them out!!

Investigate McConnell!!!

soledadobrien

Chao is even making her case worse.

soledadobrien I hope they catch him but his crooked has Emoji he made known image but he don't know I just as freedom

soledadobrien Fire the heifer!

soledadobrien After the facts! Donating all her profits to charity?

So now the MSM wants it to be illegal to sell off stocks in a booming economy... ok

soledadobrien Like that’s going to set everything straight. Bet that stock has done pretty well, perhaps they should take every penny from that stock sale and donate it to groups in KY responding to the opioid crisis. I hope the bourbon that just shot out your nose burns. senatemajldr

Mitch the Crook..

soledadobrien Only believe it when you see the receipts, folks. All these fuckers do is lie and attempt to avoid accountability. Hold their feet to the fire!!! And it never hurts to contribute money to ANYONE running against Mitch. DitchMitch2020

soledadobrien Who did she 'transfer' her stock to and for how long?

soledadobrien Were all the Republicans treasonous and criminal all along or did Trump's false installation just allow them to come out from under their rocks?

soledadobrien Make all the $$$$$ you can, get caught and sell. Make a tidy profit, then claim you sold all of your holdings, hubris?

soledadobrien Corrupt

senatemajldr and his wife need to be investigated and locked up

It’s too late Chao you are officially on the “corrupt” radar along with Mitch

Lock them up,Lock them up

Susan_Hennessey It’s no wonder why senatemajldr is trying to distract everyone from this with his recent tweets about scary brown people.

CROOK CROOKS CROOK..... right in the OPEN AMERICA...... SHAME.

KosherSoul They should both resign

Looks like a marriage of convenience, she’s a brainy one ☝️ you go girl 👧.

Am I shocked to find out senatemajldr is a crook? No! Not at all.

djrothkopf Too late.

A bit like tossing the bag of cocaine out the window while the cops are chasing you. They saw you do it. They retrieved the evidence. You’re going to jail.

Lock her up!

djrothkopf “Follow the [dirty] money.”

djrothkopf Steal a lot and they make you king SenateMajLdr

The jig is up. They both belong in prison for corruption.

Corrupt & corrupt McConnells

To late The jury has heard and seen everything But wait.... There soooo Much more Stay tuned Don't touch that dial. The clouds are thickening I see a storm on the horizon.

She should resign, and go to jail. She’s a thief.

These two should not be holding office in our democracy what they should be holding are pitch forks for making us Americans go through hell. They belong in hell❗️

Too late! Force her resignation!!

Keep up the pressure on this amoral, greedy and corrupt couple. Shame on you KY for keeping McConnell in office.

I hope in 2020 America says No More of this corruption!

Before declared guilty even by your network, doesn’t Chao deserve an official charge & a fair & legal hearing. I think so! Don’t air your suspicions as if yours suspicions have been proven. That makes our country not a good place. Be responsible!!

They say some ppl w/good intentions go to hell on a road paved w/those intentions. How clever if wife in a couple having no good intentions invests in asphalt co & promotes biz for the co from her Cabinet job so the couple can both pave their road to hell & make $ fr the paving

Make an example of her!

Not sure that helps. LOL!

Lock her and him up

Rampant corruption to the core.

I'm surprised at how many actualy think Republicans are for the people they never have been Republicans have always been for the rich always

senatemajldr Put that corrupt Chao in jail . . .

Those two crooks should be in prison.

its all a.s.s.--allegations speculations smoke. no evidence, no crime. just a.s.s.

Too little too late. Greed is a slippery road 🤔❤️🇺🇸❤️🌎

That's why he is up 45 ass... 45 is turning a blind eye to what's going on in his own cabinet that's why all of them are Cooks.

McConnell in bed with China and Russia how do you expect this rat this disgusting colluding rat to ever do anything good for the American people

'Honey, zip up. Our kompromat is showing!'

While I'd love to see both Trump and McConnell defeated in 2020, if I had to choose - I'd rather see McConnell go for he is even worse than Trump.

typical swamp-monster behavior.

That has got to be a marriage IN NAME only 😂

.................................... LOCK HIM UP

There's more to scandal-laden family than meets the eye. This was just the tip of the iceberg; Chao still has an employee who serves as a conduit for federal funds to Ky in a special relationship that exists solely for her husband. McConnellIsCompromised resist

Republicans are corrupt!!

Guilty

The faces of evil! Treason is no longer a bug but a feature, huh, Mitch? Do you know what cancer is Mitch? The cells of a single organ go rogue. They stop supporting the body, growing tumors instead. The body eventually dies. Mitch, you are a cancer on your country

Mitch about to be living in China!

both the Democrats and Republicans are corrupt. You news media outlets are so bias when it comes to stories.

And I will bet she gets by with it.

Oh, so now that the spotlight peeks back in behind that stinking curtain, they sell off their shares. It was a clear conflict and unfair advantage, and the majority leader of the goddam US Senate knew it and let it slide and couldn’t care less. Goodbye to him. Vote Kentucky.

Sells the stocks that was supposed to be sold before taking her job as head of the Department of Transportation.

GUILTY AS CHARGED.

She still committed the CRIME!! Too late! You should BOTH suffer severe consequences. senatemajldr HeyMitchGTFO!

Sold shares after she was caught. Is she off the hook? Is the Investigation off?

I think this is McConnell's side piece👀

It’s a bit too late to unring that bell. More routine Republican corruption. ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW 77Lies LawlessPresident ObstructionOfJustice

These people should be thrown to the lions.

Lock her up!!!?

The GOP will do nothing because they're either just as crooked or without a spine And another thing does Ditch Mitch ever look like a normal human being. He either looks like a deranged serial killer or an escapee from the mental ward. Senatemajldr

A bit late, no? Investigate this power-hungry couple.

Sure she does

Please Put more spotlights on this duo of corrupt dirtbags There is so much more So much

_Breaking cnn cnnbrk Morning_Joe jheil mikebarnicle SNPonMSNBC newsweek time TheLastWord hardball allinwithchris WANTED: 'BONNIE & CLYDE' Wanted for CORRUPTION & grand THEFT for running the biggest CONSTRUCTION theft since the GAMBINO 'Concrete Club' in the '80's

Too little Too late. The criminals are everywhere in the Trump administration. Either his Cabinet appointees are criminal or they are incompetent or both.

Little late for that. CORRUPTION

😂😂😂😂😂sure after she made a millions! She promised to do it BEFORE taking office!

Chao and Chaos

Cheats

How much money did she make on that stick between her promise to sell and her actually doing so? That money should be donated to a charity not related to her or her family’s business in any way. ACLU comes to mind

Sell high by LOW

Little late for that.

So I guess people arent allowed to invest now. The head of the commission found no conflict. More made up outrage

Nothing to see here- anymore!

Still guilty.

Putin holding it in Trust until he can give it back?

Too late. She and the hubby need to be held accountable!

CORRUPTS

Democrats stand for the people while Republicans are for the love of money. Couldn’t be more obvious. Corrupting our government for their own financial gain.

Nobody smells a big ole rat here? DitchMitchAndChao DitchMitch2020

factsfaraone If information surrounding Elaine Chao is true then she needs to resign yesterday.Trump has named way more than one person who disgraced their office and were forced to resign in disgrace.This is what happens when you hire people to reward them.

The criminal GOP acts with absolute impunity. They control their voters with fear of brown people and infanticide and then loot the treasury at will. senatemajldr is a particularly revolting example.

zsarrina Better late then never huh Break laws till caught then go oh my did I do that here now I will put a bandaid on it These people are totally without a soul

RCalrcross That seems logical...it doesn’t ever make you look guilty when you dump stock amidst an investigation.

morgfair

Kevin94539511 You have corrupt traitor McConnell and corrupt wife Chao right next to McConnell that both need to be GONE.

It would bring me much joy to see her and her husband in prison. They are older so it would be an added bonus if they ended up dying in prison.

The stock she should have sold 800+ days ago? realDonaldTrump administration -- profiles in corruption.

Selling off the stock is to late. You've been caught.

Run while you can you grifters

Round her up and charge her!

Prove it ...most corrupt couple .

Two VERY CORRUPT people.....from Trump's orbit

McConnell is financially tied into TRUMP and foreign oligarchs. Trump is bankrupt and in huge debt to foreign banks and mobster lenders. Republicans cover for Trump/McConnell at the expense of US' security, while Trump uses US power to help his money sources Russia/Saudis/China.

These Corrupt Politicians think they are protected this will cause large riots an chaos a March on Washington like never before!!

A few thousand Americans storm the Capital with bad intentions you better Wake up!!

Call SecElaineChao before the House SpeakerPelosi to explain why she failed to sell said stock earlier. Let the American people hear the explanation. Right, senatemajldr ?

MajLeadMcConn e/spouses corruption.

The truth is, Chinese have no ethics!

Hypocrite!!

ChineseMafia

Lock them up!

Was the 'infrastructure deal' just a ruse to raise her stock?

How are those two an item?

Look at ole toad Mitch (Block Everything) McConnell, smdh, lmao

I only hope that I live to witness the cretinous parasite laid bare and exposed for all the world to see. There has to be a reckoning.

Follow the money.

Lock her up! Lock her up!

morgfair Dang, she has had some WORK done!!!!

Wow just wow!!

morgfair Look who TF she’s standing next to FFS.

morgfair Swamp monsters

This is what free press ‘Enemy of the People’ does, expose corruptions of these privileged politicians. lawlessness politicians must resign!

She'll look good in orange...I guess...

putin rejoices in the Trump presidency and all those who unquestioningly follow him. TrumpIsATraitor PutinsMitch

Garbage....

Four words: 90 pounds of cocaine. Google her and drug trafficking. Every story, every one, 90 pounds of cocaine.

senatemajldr and wife SecElaineChao will make their income one way or another, with no regard to the cost to American people. Shameful, Disgraceful, and Very Sad.

Do not let the Liberal Democrats and their Cronies,influence you... After all, they are the ' Enemy of the People'''. Never forget that...

And the cheat goes on.......the beat goes on.

Take The Money and Run! That headed to The Town of El Paso where they ran into a great big hassle! Take the money and Run!

I guess we now know mitch 's kompromat...

OK. What percentage of the time do you and 95% of other media focus on Trump/GOP vs Democrats? What % of Democrats are corrupt? You should really begin to ask basic and crucial questions and then make sure your answers are accurate.

Lock HER up...and her PATHETIC, CORRUPT (McCONNELL) HUSBAND !!!

Maybe we should alert the fbi

CLEARLY, BOTH MCCONNELLS ARE CORRUPT AND NOT DESERVING OF THEIR POSITIONS IN GOVERNMENT, BUT REPUBLICANS LIKE CORRUPT GOVERNMENT.

realDonaldTrump corrupt President, Cabinet, and Republican Senate! JohnMcCainDayJune14

She needs to shell off her turtle too

Story by Rachel Maddow? Does she get anything right ? No Thanks

These two are not the President. Throw them in the slam.

She crumbled? Oh that won’t go down well with the GOP... „Mitch i heard your wife actually sold her stocks“ „Ähh...yeah?“ „what a Rookie mistake...not so grim after all“

That train left the station. She's corrupt. That's why Trump hired her.

DitchMitch2020 & Ciao ElainChao senatemajldr
