Incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says Trump nominees must do more to satisfy the need for disclosure.

 

Steven Mnuchin and Tom Price—Trump’s picks to lead the Treasury and Health and Human Services departments, respectively—have already given their three most recent years of tax returns to the Senate Finance Committee. Schumer tweeted Wednesday that other Cabinet picks “must” follow suit…

One of Schumer’s tweets singled out Rex Tillerson, Exxon Mobil’s CEO and Trump’s pick for secretary of State.

Tillerson and Exxon Mobil have extensive business ties with other countries, including Russia. Those connections have inspired Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.), the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, to press Tillerson on releasing his returns. But the committee’s chairman, Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), has said that the panel traditionally does not ask for returns.

    Presidents were not “traditionally” harassed about birth certificates either.

    It is a brave new world right wingers, and you idiots built it.

    So stopwhining, put on your big boy pants and deal with it, just like President Obama had to. Let’s see if you can muster a fraction of the grace and class that man demonstrated as he dealt with your 24x7x365 bullsh*t eruptions.
