Still no one has explained what supposedly nefarious ties to DB Clayton has.[/quote]

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.[/quote]
No one does that in this administration.[/quote]

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.[/quote]
