Sheriff Office Confirms Mitch McConnell’s Sister-in-law Angela Chao Drowned After Car Went into Texas Pond
Gateway Pundit ^ | Feb. 18, 2024 2:40 pm | Anthony Scott

Posted on 02/18/2024 1:57:42 PM PST by hecticskeptic

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the sister-in-law of Senator Mitch McConnell, Angela Chao, died last week in a tragic “accident.”

Angela Chao, who is the sister of former U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, served as the CEO of the dry bulk company The Foremost Group, a company with deep connections to the Chinese Communist Party.

In an initial statement, the Foremost Group stated Angela Chao died in a “tragic car accident” but gave no further details on how the accident occurred.

Now, a week later, the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office has revealed Chao died after her car went into a pond located on a private ranch located 40 miles outside of Austin, Texas.

The Blanco County Sheriff’s Office, in a statement, disclosed that EMS crews “responded to a possible water rescue on a private ranch located in Blanco County, TX.”

The statement continued, “On arrival, Blanco County deputies along with Blanco County EMS and Fire recovered the body of Angela Chao from a pond on the ranch…EMS attempted emergency measures on Ms. Chao, but she succumbed from being under the water.”

Yes. It’s common knowledge that she has deep ties with the Chinese Community Party in more than one way.

“ She could play numerous musical instruments and could run a shipping company but she apparently never learned to swim.”

And join the communist party of China.

And sit in their boards, Bank of China, China Shipbuilding Corporation.

Why did the chicoms put out a story in great detail that she was hit by a drunk driver who was subsequently arrested.

Why would this happen on Chinese New Year. It’s like Christmas Eve.

Hi Jim, hope you’re doing well.

She’s almost certainly a Chinese Communist Party member.

She’s close to Mitch and her sister.

I think her job was to undo Trump sanctions against Chicom entities via Mitch and her sister, but couldn’t do it.

But who knows. It is fishy.

But, really how can we have these high government officials so close to Chinese communists.

Either she accidentally backed into the pond and her Tesla shorted out immediately and couldn’t get out or something nefarious happened via the deep state.

Bingo! At a threshold level it isn't too complicated. Of course, if it was a message it might not be limited to the "deep state'. It is curious as to why a married woman of her stature would be alone in the car at midnight "40 miles from Austin".

From the report, it appears she was breathing for a bit while in the water, but there is a question as to whether she was conscious or reasonably capable when she got into the vehicle.

A competent autopsy is indicated, but it is unlikely we would quickly learn of anything not of an accidental nature.

“ It’s sad the FR has turned this into a political football.”

How do you think it’s not political. She’s a Chinese communist whose sister and brother in law are former cabinet member and senate leader.

It’s suspicious as all get out, going for a drive on their ranch after midnight on Chinese New Year Eve.

It’s like Christmas Eve. You are home with your family.

Was she driving a Mercedes C250?

>>owned a sweeping tract of land

Billionaires not understanding that owning and living on a ranch requires one to be self sufficient in their own safety and ability to provide for their own rescue from situations that can occur in rural settings.

Large ranch and no one is able to operate heavy equipment (tractors & trucks), chains and hoist to rescue/recover one of their own vehicles submerged in water.

Kind of like the aliens I’ve come across in Hood & Erath counties (Texas, y’all) who bought 20+ acre tracks and complain about all the insects and critters where they moved to.

One wanted to call animal control…what ever that is.

Me: Why don’t you just shoot it yourself?

Speculation is she committed suicide or her Tesla was hacked and driven remotely.

Really, the silence is deafening and the lack of info and statements is suspicious.

The press sue isn’t curious.

Here is another big question/clue.

How did the Chinese media know about her death so soon, before any reports here?

It’s a rhetorical question, really.

This kind of stuff used to happen "over there" with our elites until Biden opened up the border to unrestricted access to military-aged males from every country on the planeet.

“She’s a Chinese communist whose sister and brother in law are former cabinet member and senate leader.”

AND, as Senate Leader, he has power and authority to make decisions that impact the entire world. He’s just been given a “suggestion” of how to vote in a vet extreme way.

Yes.

But I think she failed in something she was supposed to get done.

“Your sister in law told you to get these sanctions and tariffs rescinded. Now see what’s happened”

Mitch needs to retire and just get out, maybe too late though.

“According to google there is a mechanical door latch in a Tesla. Why this woman preferred to drown rather than use it is unknown.”

She was probably already unconscious when the car reached the water. At least that would be my guess.

And CNN is calling it a “car crash”. So she crashed into a pond?

Lots of things to speculate about... however, suicide seems like it would be well down the list unless there was something devastatingly bad coming down that she was aware of. Even if she planned to commit suicide, I can’t possibly imagine that she would pick this method....
- As you have asked, how was it possible that the Chinese were the first out of the gate on reporting on it?
- Why did the Chinese feel it necessary to concoct the story of the car crash with a drunk driving a truck going through a red light?
- Who made the call in to emergency?
- Who was all at the ranch when this happened? Where there guests there because it was Chinese New Years... but if there were, why would she be leaving?
- It would appear that given that the ambulance was reported to arrive at the ranch at 12:12 am and that it would take some unknown time to get there, this would suggest that the entry into the pond was sometime after say 11:30 pm. Was she at the ranch that she and her husband own and perhaps got into a fight which is why she was leaving late to go back to their home in Austin and was perhaps in an extreme state of carelessness and hurry? Did they really build a ranch house that close to a pond... and how was it necessary for her to allow herself to get close to it given that the property is likely hundreds or thousands of acres in size (it is Texas after all). Or perhaps all this happened at a neighbor’s place....or some other person she was visiting (you can use your imagination) and she didn’t know the property very well. She apparently was the sole occupant of the car... For that matter, if she left the ranch house, how did it come about that anyone knew what happened? When I leave the house, I don’t very often get the family I live with coming out to the driveway to see me off....well, it was Chinese New Year so perhaps family came out to see her off (and who would that family be... while her husband had children from a prior marriage, they didn’t have any together). Somebody must have been right there to witness it since I can’t see the car making much noise entering the water unless she had her hand on the horn.
- Is possible that once the car hit the water, both the doors and the windows electrically malfunctioned so that she was effectively locked in?
- And how is it possible that the car was in 12 to 15 feet of water. Ponds typically taper off at the edges and not have a rapid drop-off. Instead of backing slowly in, perhaps it was really moving to get that far out to where the water is deeper...
- And if the car was moving that fast, was there a malfunction that took it out of control... as some have suggested, it was being controlled by someone else who was somehow able to direct it into the water?
- Then there is that tweet by Kyle Bass and reported by Brian Costello that there is video that the sheriff has and it when it comes out, it will shock you. Was the place well lit enough at 11:30 pm so that it actually shows anything of value?

From this article the day after her death:

“The details surrounding the Angela Chao car crash have not been disclosed by Foremost Group, keeping the focus on her remarkable contributions and legacy. But according to the police report cited by local news agencies, her vehicle was hit by a truck that was speeding and ran a red light at an intersection, leading to her death. “

https://rtmlawfirm.com/foremost-group-ceo-angela-chao-dies-in-car-crash-at-age-50-austin-tx/


And this one:

“The shipping industry was plunged into mourning following the tragic car accident that claimed the life of Angela Chao, the visionary CEO of Foremost Group. On February 10, 2024, while conducting business in Austin, Texas, Angela’s life was abruptly cut short in a collision with a reckless driver who disregarded a red light. This article delves into the circumstances surrounding this heartbreaking incident, pays tribute to Angela’s exceptional contributions to the maritime world, and examines the profound impact of her loss on the industry she dedicated her life to. Moreover, we underscore the pressing need for enhanced road safety measures in light of this devastating event.”

https://goldsport.vn/angela-chao-car-accident/


Why do I suspect the details and cause of her death were not going to be released. Instead a general “car accident—not her fault—speeding evil truck” was going to be the story until someone who was first on the scene spilled the beans?

Of course, we still really have no way of knowing how she died. But, there is rumors she had gotten on the wrong side of the CCP.

Her husband, Jim Breyer, has unbelievably high-level connections. BA Stanford, MBA Harvard, big chunks of dozens of start-ups including Facebook, high honcho in WEF, sister-in-law, major Chinese PLA connections, etc. ad nauseum.

Twice is coincidence. Three times is ??? action. Messaging or turf war.
