The HILL: Former SEN. Ted Kaufman Objects to SEC Nominee

[laserhaas]

According to the Congressional paper "The HILL", OpEd piece by former Democrat Delaware Senator Ted Kaufman;

'Jay Clayton as SEC chair akin to a fox guarding a hen house'

As reflected by the former Senator

The Trump campaign’s final TV commercial last November spelled out his pledge to take on Wall Street. It featured a photo of Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein and a voice over describing “a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class.”

If you worked for Goldman Sachs, you might have thought you were in for a tough time when the election results came in.

Senator Ted Kaufman continued....

It soon became apparent that Goldman had little to fear after the announcements of Trump appointees such as Steven Bannon, Trump's top advisor in the White House and a former Goldman partner; Secretary of Treasury Steven Mnuchin, a former Goldman partner; Chairman of the National Economic Club Gary Cohn, the former president of Goldman and Goldman Sach’s “go-to” lawyer, Walter “Jay” Clayton, for chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

We already have an Environmental Protection Agency head who has made a career out of suing that agency. Do we really want an SEC chairman who has spent his career fighting the SEC?

and the Senator closes - correctly - stating;
