5. Now I'm confused.

What's been in the news is that she LEFT for China 3 days AFTER his heart attack and CPR resuscitation.

Now, she didn't "fly back" in the immediate aftermath - because it wasn't warranted? Fly back from where? Was she in China when it happened? Somewhere else like DC? Because Mitch was in Louisville, right?

Is this the timeline?
1. Mitch is in Louisville, has heart attack, is taken to the hospital.
2. Elaine is in DC, gets a call, decides it's not important to go to Kentucky.
3. 3 days later, flies to China for "philanthropy".
4. At some point, Elaine flies back to the US.
5. Mitch's liberal daughter deletes Twitter account.
6. Mitch and Scott Jennings talk.
7. Elaine issues cold, businesslike press statement.
