“Proprietary information”? Does Mnuchin think that the 500-bil is some sort of widget that the Treasury Department invented? In one sense, of course, the money is “proprietary information” and we’re the damn proprietors. It’s our damn money. And it went to 4.5 million businesses, and we’re not entitled to know who they are? We have to take on faith that this bunch of brigands aren’t doling it out to lunch buddies and golfing buddies? Yeah, think again. Of course, once you’ve told Congress under oath that you forgot to disclose $100 million in assets, you can pretty much get folks to believe anything.

Nothing to add, really.
