This appointment has Steve Bannon’s paw prints all over it.  Mnuchin is also a Goldman Sachs alum and he was Trump’s national campaign finance director, which I’m sure Bannon will find useful in dealing with the petty annoyance of the complaint that was filed by the Democratic Coalition a few weeks ago alleging violations of federal campaign laws, by Bannon being illegally paid from a super PAC and before the 120 day cooling off period specified by campaign law had passed.

Additionally, Mnuchin is a Hollywood crony of Bannon’s, having bankrolled “X-Men” and “Avatar.”

Hand picked monied cronies of Bannon are going to line up like peas in a pod in the Trump administration, is my prediction.
