That totally adds up; she is a cabinet secretary ONLY to get Mitchie to nominally do SOMETHING for the administration in the senate, and Mitchie is a long time swamp denizen and an original "Never Trumper".
Caputo said something that stood out to me. Said something like “there’s nothing he can do about it.” Meaning Trump. The lack of classic English, the sadness that McCain is gone but there is still someone who holds his place. That sounds like a loyal wife defending her husband. Lodestar, etc. it all fits Elaine Chaio. Trump can’t do a thing about her and that is exactly why I was never happy that DJT gave her a position. He needed Turtle and still needs him. Turtle is dangerous.
