“In a letter addressed to Mnuchin—helpfully accompanied by an explainer video—the congresswomen write that they are “deeply concerned by the financial engineering and potentially illegal activity” that took place at Sears while Mnuchin was a board member, and which led to tens of thousands of jobs being lost. Last month, Mnuchin was named in a lawsuit filed by Sears’ holding company accusing its former chairman, hedge-fund manager Eddie Lampert, of a “multiyear and multifaceted scheme” to siphon more than $2 billion from the company’s coffers to himself, his hedge fund E.S.L. Investments, and other insiders. Mnuchin, along with other former board members, is accused of approving deals that the suit argues ultimately benefited Lampert, whom the secretary roomed with at Yale, worked alongside at Goldman Sachs, and who Lampert named a vice chairman of his fund—in which Mnuchin was an investor—from 2002 to 2003. Warren and A.O.C. quote the suit’s claim that Lampert, Mnuchin, and the other defendants had zero plan to return the company to profitability after “cannibalizing [its] core assets,” that they “breached their fiduciary duties by engaging in . . . self-dealing,” and that “had Defendants not taken these improper and illegal actions, Sears would have had billions of dollars more to pay its third-party creditors today and would not have endured the amount of disruption, expense, and job losses resulting from its recent bankruptcy filing.”

A Treasury spokesperson did not respond to Politico’s request for comment. In addition to serving as a board member at Sears, Mnuchin’s past professional life included several years as the “Foreclosure King of California,” a nickname he’d prefer people not use, but one that’s well-earned considering his time at mortgage lender OneWest coincided with kicking 36,000 homeowners out of their houses.“

Ummmmm.... Okay,, so you think this is the first time this has ever happened, and it happened because Trump was in office???? Now that's funny....

These two women and Bernie are the only ones in congress who will tell the truth about the rich and corporate America, about everybody else is just in politics to enrich themselves and cash in after politics for loyally serving both the rich and corporate America. As Michael Moore used to say, corporate America and the rich are our enemies, anything else like the culture wars, is just distraction away from the class war and to make it seem like the major parties are actually that different. If Bernie were not in the race and AOC was older, they would be a dream ticket.
