Steven Mnuchin, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for treasury secretary, found himself on the defensive for failing to disclose $100 million in real estate assets on his financial disclosure forms before today's confirmation hearing.

Regarding the omission about his position in a shell company, Mnuchin claimed the mistake was an oversight.
"As you all can appreciate, filling out these government forms is quite complicated", he testified before the Senate Finance Committee.

So the forms for evading taxes must be less complicated I take it. Seems like that swamp is getting deeper.

These poor babies.
They surely are not dummies. Perhaps "ego" gets in the path of clear thinking.

If he "forgot" about his multiple vacation homes worth $100 million, maybe I could borrow one for a couple of years

That is a good one. And he is going to run the Treasury? Talking about having a fox guarding the hen house.
