Could it be that Trump is simply moving the "swamp" to where he has better control of it?

"Unlike most Americans, Mnuchin made a great deal of money from the "great recession of 2008" after founding OneWest Bank (formerly IndyMac Bank) and Financial Freedom, which provided reverse mortgages and allegedly preyed on retired Americans. In fact, the company is being investigated by the government for potentially illegal home foreclosure practices.

"That's how Mnuchin earned the nickname 'Foreclosure King,' not to be confused with the cheapest bed at the Mattress Warehouse," Bee joked.

Mnuchin's bank is reportedly responsible for more than one-third of all reverse mortgage foreclosures. Reverse mortgages suspend payments for people over the age of 62 until their death. Their families must then take over the mortgages or the homes are foreclosed. They're referred to as "widow foreclosures" as many of the victims are women who typically outlive their husbands."

Not only widows, but retirees, and Veterans. Since he violated federal law why was he not prosecuted, and why is Trump nominating another crook to his cabinet?

"Brown then asked if OneWest violated federal law "by initiating foreclosures on 54 active-duty military families? Yes or no?"

Mnuchin acknowledged that "we unfortunately did foreclose on certain people in the military. It was quite unfortunate, it was inappropriate. We responded to those people and made them whole."

Naw, he just moved it a few hundred feet. His whole team is filled with billionaires, and lobbiests.
It's kind of hard arguing metaphors, but Trumps new swamp is full of a lot of people unqualified for their particular responsibility. Loyalty trumps experience, so to speak. A brain surgeon for education, a Wall Street defense lawyer to to head the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Etc.
