What do you mean well before the election? One month before – that’s “well before”? In what sense? You think a month is ample time to inform voters on what Trump & the Richies did with all that money?
Also, the NY Times is reporting that “[a]s the legislation is currently written, Mr. Mnuchin would not have to disclose the recipients until six months after the loans were disbursed. ”
Six month after the loans were disbursed ≠ six months from the date of the legislation
Mnuchkin just has to wait until late May to greenlight any potentially politically controversial loans from his slush fund, and the public won’t find out until after the election.
And to be clear, if Trump wins re-election, you’re never finding out who got that money. Six months is just the period in which Treasury is forbidden by law from disclosing who got the $$$. After that, what happens?
House: Tell us who you gave the money to.
Administration: Shan’t.
House: Here’s a subpoena.
A: Fuck your subpoena. Uh, I mean, executive privilege. Yeah, that’s it.
H: Judge, please make them tell us who they gave a half-trillion of taxpayer money to.
Trump-controlled courts: Fuck your subpoena. Er, I mean, not our place to get involved in these inter-branch disputes. Guess you could always impeach him (*snicker*)
I thought it was hidden for 6 months, which would be well before the election.

Or early May, even.
God, these people.
More nasty questions.
