Trump to tap Wall Street lawyer, Jay Clayton, to head SEC

Clayton is a partner at Sullivan & Cromwell, a well-known law firm, and has represented some of the biggest names on Wall Street, including Goldman Sachs and Barclays, and helped them weather regulatory scrutiny. He has also helped large companies hold their raise money through an initial public offering, including Alibaba, the Chinese retail giant. But, according to the biography on the Sullivan & Cromwell website, Clayton has not held any government positions and has never served as a prosecutor.

The next 4-8 years are going to be hilarious.

Good news. The SEC will be headed by some one who understands both sides of the issues.

What are Democrats always so hostile to competent people?

No, I would be congratulating her on her first demonstration of good judgement in public office in her long, sordid career.

Neither wolves nor shepherds, but competent, successful people.

So the best way to regulate an industry is to appoint someone who doesn't know how the industry works, and who hates it and wants to see it destroyed, right?

See my sig. Robber barrons are exponentially better than the progressive statist doo gooders who want to use government to shape the rest of us to their interests.

So what you are saying is you don't know what the two sides are.

Better than the useless hyenas that progressives appoint.

The Democrats seem to think that MORE regulation equates with BETTER regulation.

The Republicans seem to think that markets can police themselves, completely ignoring the Meltdown.

Madness.

The best way to regulate an industry is to choose a man who has spent his career defending that industry from regulation?
