Hello everyone!

If it walks like a conflict of interest...

Looks like a conflict of interest...

And quacks like a conflict of interest...

Is it a conflict of interest?!

Well, you decide:

Pay attention to the information we've received:

Senior Senator Shelley Moore Capito recently purchased shares in General Electric - $GE.

General Electric, as part of its operations, manufactures jet engines for aircraft.

But do you know who General Electric's special VIP customer for jet engines is?

The U.S. Air Force!

And here's the twist, pay attention to this:

We discovered that Capito's role in the Senate is none other than serving on the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense.

In her role, Capito oversees the Senate's defense expenditures; in fact, Capito is privy to all Senate expenditures related to military and defense matters.

What does Capito know that we don't?

Good intel travels.
