I've read this theme several times. What has she done to lead you to make this conclusion? Or is this no more than your own bias and fear?

Yeah, I read it. Which is how I know about it. It's not at all an unreasonable suggestion.

"Cook added that it was up to Congress and the president to enact tax reform, which he is "optimistic" will take place sometime next year."

I am actually both scared and biased, you got me!

It's entirely reasonable to assume that with this much money at stake Apple will pull all the stops for a tax holiday.

What I was wondering was if any politician had spoken publicly on this issue. It seems, unsurprisingly, they haven't.

Temporary 'tax holidays' have happened before. Sorry, no links atm.
