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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
