NEW YORK – Mary Jo White announced plans on Monday to step down as chair of the powerful Securities and Exchange Commission before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

White’s term at the helm of the SEC hadn’t been scheduled to expire until June 2019.

Trump has promised to roll back the sweeping regulation of Wall Street that White has spent nearly four years trying to install. In fact, implementing Dodd-Frank rules and other financial reforms had been one of the biggest challenges during White’s tenure at the SEC.

“I wonder what. It is not like liberals to leave power early...”

Maybe she wants to get a flight out of the US before the seats are all taken by the rest of the criminal DNC/Soros gang.

She probably needs the extra time to find a nation that doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the US.

The good news just keeps piling up.

These folks are just too “righteous” to be saddled with responsibility for working under a Trump administration. So what they are doing is leaving him 100% in control, with no opposing voices at all.

LOL, I just hate that! /s

Frankly, I don’t like no Leftist voices at all, and I wouldn’t want a Leftist government with no voices on the right at all.

It doesn’t hurt to hear the other side’s views. It’s just when you allow them to govern your actions that it gets dicey.

Not may, but a few...

That name is familiar...Mary Jo White... I’m recalling someone from the Giuliani era, Clinton appointed US attorney, maybe, that did something controversial that benefitted the Clintons. Am I on the right track or is my mind wandering?

Insider trading is rampant among the denizens of DC. That is how they become rich during their tenure. Don’t be surprised to learn she has relocated overseas.

From a wiki page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Jo_White):

White became Acting United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York in December 1992, and in March 1993 was appointed by President Bill Clinton as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District...

After President Bill Clinton’s controversial last-day presidential pardons, she was appointed by new Attorney General John Ashcroft to investigate Marc Rich’s pardon.[2]
