Draining the Swamp

Fortunately, the candidate of Goldman Sachs lost in ’16:

Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin took military aircraft on at least seven occasions without adequate justification, his department’s inspector general said in a report.

The inspector general said that Mnuchin’s use of the planes was not illegal but that he had failed to meet rules that require that military flights be used only if the White House determines in advance that doing so is justified by costs or specific security or emergency needs.

If you’re in Trump’s candidate, the question is not whether you’re in on the grift but to what extent.

Meanwhile, Mnuchin is apparently balking about replacing Andrew Jackson on the $20. But maybe he’ll want to put something new on the back to spruce things up. So let’s have an LGM quiz: what would best represent the Republican Party of 2017?

• Nathan Bedford Forrest
• A Hermes scarf
• James Clark McReynolds
• Jesse Helms
• Bernie Maddoff

Or maybe they could have five different versions so they can all be represented!
