When DeJoy was elected Postmaster General by a board whose members were all confirmed by Mitch McConnell, Elaine Chao’s brother in law made a $26.8M XPO Logistics purchase for his hedge fund—its first ever XPO purchase.

Yesterday, his fund reported $45.3M in XPO stock.

The hedge fund’s $26.8 million purchase of XPO Logistics stock occurred between April 1 and June 30, 2020.

The USPS announced that Louis DeJoy had been unanimously elected Postmaster General on May 6, 2020.

In yesterday’s filing, the hedge fund manager reported $45.3 million in XPO Logistics stock.

Despite shedding 23,398 shares over the past year, the value of the XPO stock held by the hedge fund increased by nearly 69%.

According to MarketBeat, Wells Fargo & Company currently has a $119.46 million stake in XPO Logistics.

During her tenure as Secretary of Transportation, Elaine Chao consistently reinvested her Wells Fargo dividends into Wells Fargo stock.

On September 23, 2014, the hedge fund manager’s wife—Elaine Chao’s sister, Christine, contributed $400,000 to a Super PAC from which every expenditure was made in opposition to Mitch McConnell’s 2014 opponent.

One McConnell ally, USPS Governor Robert Duncan, may have played a role in the FEC complaint that led to McConnell’s opponent’s father’s criminal prosecution—led by his son, the US Attorney for EDKY, who was praised and confirmed by Mitch McConnell.

Secretary Chao stated that she’d divested $500,001-$1,000,000 from her brother in law’s Caymans-registered offshore fund prior to her Senate confirmation.

Did I mention that Chao’s brother in law left SAC Capital shortly before the firm paid a record fine to the SEC for insider trading? He brought four other SAC Capital traders with him to his firm.

The hedge fund manager made a $69.8 million NIO purchase shortly before it was publicly announced that Chinese banks, including Bank of China, would extend a massive line of credit to NIO.

(10/)
Possibly just a lot of entirely coincidental adjacencies, but what seems clear is that both Elaine Chao and her brother in law stand to profit from any XPO value increases resultant to XPO-USPS partnerships.

Republican NC State Rep. Jeff McNeely proposed an illegal audit of a blue county’s voting machines eleven months after the election, citing “many, many millions of accusations" of "machine tampering and votes being switched because of modems.”
Durham’s Rep., Zack Hawkins:

“The people in Durham County take elections very seriously. You are not welcome in Durham County, and I'm not sure if you want to step foot in Durham County and try to inspect the machines. You will not be greeted as liberators, let me be clear.”

Is now a good time to take a look at #Facebook’s VP for Global Public Policy, Joel Kaplan; his connection to William Burck; Kaplan’s and Burck’s connections to Lindsey Graham—and how all three connect directly to Brett Kavanaugh?

We’ll start here:

(1/)
On second thought, maybe we should start with Senator Graham’s performance during Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing. Keep this image in mind while reading the rest of the thread.

Anyway, it’s weird that the Zuckerberg-funded nonprofit’s ad for Graham didn’t mention immigration.

Here’s Mitch McConnell’s brother in law explaining how Graham’s ad was purchased by a “smart team of political operatives,” including Joel Kaplan:

Did Mitch McConnell just mention Democrats, ports, and China in the same sentence? Is it my birthday?

It seems like a good time for a history lesson on Mitch McConnell’s connections to China, and to port funding.
(1/)
Here’s a partial quote:

“…Democrats have taken our roads, bridges, ports, airports, and waterways hostage to ram through an historically reckless taxing and spending spree that would hurt families and help China."

(2/)

The “ports” part is easy: Mitch McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, doled out over $64,000,000 to clients of the Florida lobbyist she hired as her “advisor on ports” shortly after her confirmation as Secretary of Transportation.

Yesterday, in Onslow County, NC.

I recognize three Onslow County Board of Education members, none of whom are wearing masks. This aligns with the “masks are a personal choice” policy they’ve mandated at all county schools for the upcoming school year.

@jacobbogage
In 2015, McConnell reported that his wife earned $50,001-$100,000 from her investment in said brother in law’s Caymans-registered offshore fund. I think it’s safe to say that they’re familiar with the hedge fund.
