Who said that in a statement?

DNC spokesman Adam Hodge.

AH, there's some real news for ya. A DNC spokesman is bemoaning Trump's picks.

Yeah, no bias from THAT GUY.

So, you aren't disputing the fact of mnuchin's background, just complaining that the link is to CNN?

OK - here are some other links, incluindg one that links to the AP (is that one of your evil nasty MSM sources? I keep forgetting which ones y'all hate) that show the guy's background. So, do you like his background or not?

"Trump is set to announce that Steven Mnuchin will be his Treasury secretary, per a recommendation from his own transition team, the Associated Press reports."

Love the guy's history in the article - changing locks, throwing old widow wimmen into the street... great guy to put in charge of the Treasury, eh?

Trump Picks Foreclosure King Mnuchin for Treasury Secretary - The Daily Beast

Fox is better, tho, right? They don't mention the guy's predatory practices AT ALL.

And, let's not forget breitbart. They don't mention anything at all about the guy's history, other than to say he worked at a couple of places. I guess they couldn't think of anything good to say about his history....

And we worried about the Democratic swamp.

Someone commented on radio today that the ordinary citizens who voted for Trump have no idea he's not on their side. They will, said the call-in commentator, be in for a sorry awakening. When their medicare, medicaid, social security and the environment are decimated, they'll wake up. Every new cabinet pick reveals he is on the side of the one percenters. Let the Trump fantasy go on.

Too bad Rand Paul didn't make a stronger showing.
He won't "drain the swamp" by adding all the reptiles he's releasing.

Let's be honest, were there any picks Trump could make that wouldn't have the left screaming and crying? Try not to act like you actually care about his picks. You're just looking for a reason to complain about Trump.

The topic was based on a link to an opinion from CNN.

If you want to talk specifics then please do so, but the battle of the web links isn't something I do. You ought to have learned this by now since the 100s of posts you made with sort of thing, were all proven wrong. Trump won the election.

Here's an excerpt from the article:

Trump picked his top fundraiser and former Goldman Sachs banker Steven Mnuchin to the Treasury Department, pulling from a Wall Street world he once criticized as having "total control" over his campaign opponents. Wilbur Ross, a billionaire businessman, will be his Commerce secretary. Tuesday's announcements of Georgia Rep. Tom Price to run the Department of Health and Human Services and Elaine Chao to lead the Department of Transportation added two more Washington movers and shakers to the Trump Cabinet.


Trump pledged in his campaign to "drain the swamp" in Washington, but has also repeatedly said that he will look to people who understand the capital to help him govern. His selection of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, a former congressman, as vice president and chairman of his transition and choosing long-time political powerbrokers like GOP fundraiser Betsy DeVos as secretary of Education is part of that pattern.

Is any of this untrue?

Nope. But you conveniently left off this part.
.....is a slap in the face to voters who hoped he would shake up Washington," ....... "Trump is already heading into office as the most corrupt, conflicted, and unpopular president-elect in history, and now he's breaking his signature promise to the voters who elected him."

Opinion given as "fact". Typical CNN.

Doesn't matter to me if you think CNN is the best news organization in the world. You did after all tell us that Hillary Clinton would win the election. This speaks for itself.

The rest of us, know better.

Why yes, yes, they did.

They were WRONG ABOUT TRUMP!

According to some, that means they are forever discredited, doesn't it?

The claim that some media organizations are not credible seems somewhat elastic. If they report something a tRumpzi agrees with, why, they seem to be suddenly credible, just for a moment.

I was informed earlier that Wikipedia is not a credible source because "Soros finances it."
