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 to take up an ethics probe into former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, according to watchdog report released Wednesday by House committee leaders. (read more)

At first blush this rather obtuse article seems like no big deal.  However, when you overlay the post election meetings between AG Bill Barr and then Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, one has to wonder if the dropping of this investigation was not part of the meeting that also never had a purposeful explanation.

In hindsight the appearance of some sketchy quid-pro-quo then takes on another level of sketch when we remind ourselves what Elaine Chao did to support the Deep State “insurrection” narrative after January 6, 2021.

During his CPAC speech President Trump identified some of the republican politicians by name in both the House and Senate who need to get primaried: …”The Democrats don’t have grand-standers like Mitt Romney, little Ben Sasse, Richard Burr, Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Pat Toomey; and in the House, Tom Rice, South Carolina, Adam Kinzinger, Dan Newhouse, Anthony Gonzalez. That’s another beauty. Fred Upton, Jamie Herrera Butler, Peter Meyer, John Katko, David Valadeo. And of course the warmonger, a person that loves seeing our troops fighting, Liz Cheney. How about that? The good news is in her state, she’s been censured. And in her state, her poll numbers have dropped faster than any human being I’ve ever seen. So hopefully, they’ll get rid of her with the next election. Get rid of them all.”…

Showcasing the ideological disconnect between MAGA and The DecptiCons, Mitch McConnell says today: “We support Senator Murkowski. We support all of our Republican incumbents. She’s in very strong shape and her home state of Alaska, there’s nobody going to come close to beating Lisa Murkowski“…  [09:38 Prompted]

In an article written by Mike Pence and published today, the former Vice-President has suddenly found a need to focus on election integrity.  After the timeframe has passed for his actions to bear any significant sunlight upon the 2020 election, Pence now expresses some concerns.

Writing with the Daily Signal the executive earworm now says he doesn’t like the idea that Nancy Pelosi and the Fascist party are attempting to make election manipulation a permanent feature of the U.S. voting system.

Mike Pence – After an election marked by significant voting irregularities and numerous instances of officials setting aside state election law, I share the concerns of millions of Americans about the integrity of the 2020 election.

That’s why when I was serving as presiding officer at the joint session of Congress certifying the Electoral College results, I pledged to ensure that all objections properly raised under the Electoral Count Act would be given a full hearing before Congress and the American people.

The tragic events of Jan. 6—the most significant being the loss of life and violence at our nation’s Capitol—also deprived the American people of a substantive discussion in Congress about election integrity in America.  (read more)

It would appear Nikki Haley has informed Pence if he doesn’t quickly jump into the MAGA ship, he will likely be left on the island of DeceptiCons starving for political relevance.

This is a rather remarkable soundbite all things considered.

Today, during his congressional testimony FBI Director Chris Wray was asked whether Antifa members participated in the January 6th Capitol Hill riot.   Director Wray says the FBI “has seen no evidence” of Antifa participating.  However, on January 14th the FBI literally arrested Antifa leader John Sullivan for his role in the planning, coordination and participation in the January 6th Capitol Hill riot. WATCH:

Senator Mike Lee questions FBI Director Chris Wray about the FBI using tenuous legal authorities to identify people who attended the DC protest rally on January 6, 2021.

Senator Lee specifically asks FBI Director Wray if they are using cell phone geolocation and under what legal authority this is being done:  National Security Letters? FISA Court? Search warrants based on probable cause?  Wray’s respons is disingenuous… WATCH:

Additionally, according to a segment aired February 4th on Tucker Carlson television show, Bank of America sent customer purchasing history to federal agencies to assist in their investigation of persons who attended the January 6th protest in Washington DC.

Again, demonstrating the ramifications from a lack of privacy protection, the assembly of an enemies list has been part of the overall investigation.  Gizmodo outlined how the phone numbers of Parler users were tracked using GPS and also used by investigators [SEE HERE] This type of exploitation should serve as a warning to Americans…. There is a big brother, and that system can/will be weaponized by government if/when an ideological administration is in power – like now.

Allow liberalism and leftist policies to be carried out to their logical conclusion and this is what happens. After Minneapolis, Minnesota decided to adopt a ‘Defund The Police’ posture, violent & property crime skyrocketed. Now the same city council that voted to disband the police, are voting to spend more money hiring 200 police officers….

(UK Daily Mail) Minneapolis is planning to spend $6.4million to hire dozens of police officers, at a time when some City Council members and activist groups have been advocating to replace the police department following the death of George Floyd.

The City Council voted unanimously Friday to approve the additional funding that police requested. According to the Minneapolis Police Department, there are only 638 officers available to work, which is roughly 200 fewer than usual.

CTH has watched this conniving, manipulating liar who lies for years.  Nikki Haley has absolutely no central value system other than her own manipulative self interest. It really is quite remarkable how Haley thinks she can just reverse course after criticizing President Trump because she thought the DC attacks had weakened him.

This is Nikki Haley after President Trump CPAC speech:

This was Nikki Haley two weeks ago:

“I don’t think [Trump’s] going to be in the picture,” she said, matter-of-factly. “I don’t think he can. He’s fallen so far.” […] “We need to acknowledge he let us down,” she said. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”  (link)

The difference is Nikki Haley now realizes she has ZERO political capital, Trump is stronger than ever, AND President Trump is going to use his power and influence to destroy the GOPe DeceptiCons.  President Trump refused to meet with Nikki Haley in Mar-a-Lago, and now she is panicking.

President Trump called-in after his CPAC speech for an interview with Fox News’ Steve Hilton.  The interview covered a variety of subjects and touched on current events that are critical for our nation.  However, Steve Hilton praising RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is a little disconcerting (take note of that).  Hilton might possibly have been activated by his handlers to protect the RNC after the CPAC speech. We’ll keep an eye out.  WATCH:

Note the DATE:

Here's a very serious suggestion for President @realDonaldTrump and @parscale. We know what's coming…

…Hire Catherine Englebrecht from @TrueTheVote to be RNC Chairwoman now, before it's too late. pic.twitter.com/Wm1iMwNyMO

[TRANSCRIPT] – Well thank you very much CPAC. Do you miss me yet? Do you miss me? A lot of things going on to so many wonderful friends, Conservatives and fellow citizens in this room all across our country.

I stand before you today to declare that the incredible journey we begun together we went through a journey like nobody else. There’s never been a journey like it, there’s never been a journey so successful. We began it together four years ago and it is far from being over. And you know what this is? The hardest working people, hard working American patriots, it’s just getting started and in the end we will win. We will win.

We’ve been doing a lot of winning. As we gather this week, we’re in the middle of a historic struggle for America’s future, America’s culture and America’s institutions, borders, and most cherished principles. Our security, our prosperity, and our very identity as Americans is at stake, like perhaps at no other time.

So no matter how much the Washington establishment and the powerful, special interests may want to silence us, let there be no doubt we will be victorious and America will be stronger and greater than ever before.

During his CPAC speech President Trump named some of the DeceptiCons in congress who have blocked the MAGA agenda.  President Trump identified some of the politicians by name in both the House and Senate who need to get primaried.  WATCH:

…”The Democrats don’t have grand-standers like Mitt Romney, little Ben Sasse, Richard Burr, Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Pat Toomey; and in the House, Tom Rice, South Carolina, Adam Kinzinger, Dan Newhouse, Anthony Gonzalez. That’s another beauty. Fred Upton, Jamie Herrera Butler, Peter Meyer, John Katko, David Valadeo. And of course the warmonger, a person that loves seeing our troops fighting, Liz Cheney. How about that? The good news is in her state, she’s been censured. And in her state, her poll numbers have dropped faster than any human being I’ve ever seen. So hopefully, they’ll get rid of her with the next election. Get rid of them all.”…

President Trump has established the Political Action Committee that will fund primary opponents to those republicans who have failed to support the America First agenda.

Let the MAGA voters take action to remove the targeted DeceptiCons and the Big Ugly will have officially begun…
