"NEW YORK — President Donald Trump on Tuesday nominated one of the more low-profile but high-powered bankers on Wall Street to serve as Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s deputy.

Jim Donovan, a Goldman Sachs partner chosen to serve as deputy secretary, is expected to play a critical role in helping Mnuchin manage the sprawling Treasury Department and push through major legislative goals including fundamental re-writes of the corporate and individual tax codes.

Progressives will almost certainly target Donovan as yet another Goldman banker joining an administration already packed with former executives from the powerhouse bank, including National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn and top White House advisers Steve Bannon and Dina Powell.

Trump regularly knocked the financial industry during his populist run to the White House, singling out Goldman for specific criticisms. Trump’s final ad of the campaign portrayed Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein as a sinister force of globalism. He criticized Ted Cruz’s wife for her work at Goldman and his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, for her paid speeches to the Wall Street bank.

The nomination of Donovan, a Goldman Sachs partner who helped raise money for both Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush, comes after reports emerged that White House chief of staff Reince Priebus had pushed back against Mnuchin’s selection for the Treasury deputy job."

Tell me again how Hillary was bought and paid for by Wall St.? And that's why you voted for Trump?
