Emails reveal coordination between Chao, McConnell offices [politico.com]

There's already evidence of even worse favoritism.

Mitch McConnell's wife and Donald Trump's Transportation Secretary, Elaine Chao, proposed a $1.5 trillion dollar infrastructure plan (1). Around that time, Blackstone Group launched a $40 billion investment vehicle dedicated to infrastructure (2). On the board of directors is McConnell and Chao's brother-in-law, Jim Breyer, married to Chao's sister (3).

$20 billion of those dollars for Blackstone came from Saudi Arabia, revealed May 2018 during Trump's visit to the country (4). Three weeks after the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, when most American investors were spooked away from Saudi Arabia, Breyer showed up at a business event in Saudi Arabia hosted by MBS alongside Kirill Dimitriev of the Russia Direct Investment Fund (5).

For those who don't remember, Erik Prince was introduced to Dimitriev in the Seychelles, a meeting currently being probed by Mueller. Prince and Dimitriev were introduced by MBS and George Nader, a cooperating witness (6). Jim Breyer and Erik Prince are co-investors in messaging app, Wickr (13).

Stephen Schwarzman, a member of the board of Blackstone Group, once sat on the board of the Russian Direct Investment Fund starting in 2011 (7). Since then, Blackstone had loaned Jared Kushner's company over $400 million across multiple projects (8). Schwarzman donated $5 million to a Pro-McConnell Super PAC during the 2018 midterms (11).

Another member of the board of Blackstone is Jacob Rothschild (9), who's brother, Nathan, is business partner to Russian oligarch and former business partner of Paul Manafort, Oleg Deripaska (10). Nathan is also an investor in RusAl as well as Glencore, the investor in the Rosneft deal detailed in the Steele Dossier (12).
