90 Pounds of Cocaine Seized aboard Ship Owned by Mitch McConnell’s Family

[Soulless65]

Well I would say I'm surprised but then I would be lying to ya

The seizure of the narcotics shipment in the Caribbean port occurred far away from Kentucky, the state in which Senator Mitch McConnell is now facing a career-defining election. But the Republican Senate minority leader has the closest of ties to the owner of the Ping May, the vessel containing the illicit materials: the Foremost Maritime Corporation, a firm founded and owned by McConnell's in-laws, the Chao family.
Though Foremost has played a pivotal role in McConnell's life, bestowing the senator with most of his personal wealth and generating thousands in donations to his campaign committees, the drug bust went unnoticed in Kentucky, where every bit of McConnell-related news has generated fodder for the campaign trail. That's because, like many international shipping companies, Chao's firm is shrouded from public view, concealing its identity and limiting its legal liability through an array of tax shelters and foreign registrations. Registered through a limited liability company in the Marshall Islands, the Ping May flies the Liberian flag.

Yea, we've already beaten this one to death. Why don't you use the search bar up there for 10 seconds instead of wasting valuable pixel space...and being so lazy.

At least it was a ship this time, not a boat.

If this ship had belonged to George W Bush, he could have just claimed it was for personal use and went about his day.

Cocaine? Are you sure? Because I'd swear McConnell looks like he's on quaaludes.
