Still no one has explained what supposedly nefarious ties to DB Clayton has.

Not necessarily nefarious but likely a conflict of interest. Clayton counted Deutsche Bank as a client and defended them in a massive Russian money-laundering scandal. “There is a criminal investigation into Deutsche Bank occurring in SDNY,” Stedman said, adding: “Deutsche Bank is Trump's lender.”

And you should be able to find many articles about Trump and DB. "Donald Trump’s relationship with Deutsche Bank has lasted longer than any of his marriages and is cloaked in more secrecy."

And the easy answer is that he would recuse himself from cases where he has a conflict of interest.

Hahahahahahahaha. Sure, he'll just recuse himself

Conflict of interest and cronyism is the point, with this administration. As sometsaid upthread, if they had done what normal administrations do and confirmed Clayton to the position through senate confirmation, no one would have blinked.

Then let's just skip him over. How many hours of his life has Trump wasted deriding Jeff Sessions? Next month he is traveling to Jeff Sessions hometown in Alabama to campaign against him. And he still tweets about him. Trump doesn't need this kind of distraction-- he has more important things to do. Just pick someone who don't have a conflict of interest.

No one does that in this administration.

That’s simply not true, generally (e.g., Sessions) or specifically with respect to Clayton. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and-practice/conflicts-of-interest-rarely-kept-sec-chairmen-from-voting/

Clayton didn’t vote at a similar rate to Mary Jo White, the prior Obama nominated chair who likewise came from a white shoe law firm.

Anyone who had experience in the private sector will have some conflicts. Even someone from government could.

If you look to nominate someone without any conflicts on any potential cases, you are likely to find someone who hasn’t practiced in the area and is unqualified.

Well, they are trying to get Clayton through the normal process, so I don’t think it is fair to tag him for the questionable dealings of trying to force out Berman until Clayton is confirmed.

Big difference between "someone with no conflicts of interest on any case" and "big conflict of interest on several very prominent cases of national importance, appointed by someone with big conflict of interest"

And in the case of Clayton, you have someone with conflicts and who hasn't practiced in the area and is unqualified. A trifecta!

Clayton hasn't been nominated. All that has happened is his name showed up on a press release at 11pm on Friday night. That was immediately shown to be wrong.

Optics don't matter anymore. When Trump was impeached but not removed, that was a green light. He can do anything. He will do anything.

When you're a star, you can do anything, he said.

Trying to fire someone at 10pm on a Friday night -- and it didn't work!

Tomorrow's going to be a doozy. Wonder how Tulsa will go.

I like this guy who won't step down. Rock on!

Trump always does stuff on Friday nights. It's the best time to tune into the news.

I'm so sick of people defending poor ethics and bad governance. I understand if this isn't a political dealbreaker for you, but to come here and defend it is just sad.

The fact Trump wants Clayton at SDNY makes me wonder what kind of favors he's done for Trump and his cronies at the SEC.

The SEC is looking at insider trading. Maybe Trump wants him out of there.

As long as he refuses where necessary, it’s not poor ethics or bad governance.
