Elaine Chao resignation? Hmmmm?

Recently trump stopped the IG investigating her and Moscow Mitch. Recently her husband lost his majority position over the Senate, and the Democrats can , and she knows for sure they'll face a complete investigation soon. Look for Mitch to resign soon too claiming health or something, but knows Justice is coming after them both.

He is out of power and hopefully he is soon on the run from the law right behind his scumbag ass!

I will look forward to the Democratic Senator that Governor Beshear replaces him with.

If so, she most likely left so no one would question her why she didn't help to invoke the 25th.

Maybe by Chao getting out of there, Mitch is now free to go after Trump without consequences?

Mitch can now direct his caucus to vote to remove Trump.

McConnell had no patience for cruz and hawley last nt made them wrap up their bs fast as the house gop spewed on... now his wife bails.

What better way to take back control of the gop from the magas than disqualify trump in 24?

One more thing there was a report last nt mitch was pleading with cabinet members not to resign until they saw what shaked out... now wife resigns... what changed?
