My question, too!
Googling reveals that Rebecca Blank is the Deputy Secretary of Commerce. Very curious. Anyone with ideas about what she is up to?
Thomas Perez. Civil Rights lawyer in DOJ.
Penny Pritzker is an entrepreneur in Chicago, nominated to be the next Sec of Commerce. Real estate connections.
So two of the three are Commerce connected. What’s up with that? Who is getting deals under the table? Methinks there are plenty of smoking guns here. Let’s abolish the IRS and the income tax first, then go after whatever other corruption is involved at Commerce. Solyndra type deals?
I questioned why Penny P was there so often - here’s my post on another thread, for more info on her:
What I’d like to know and I haven’t heard anyone on TV asking is why did Penny Pritzker visit the WH the 4th most times and with whom did she meet - Obummer, valjal?
As I think all FReepers know, she was a hugh (and series) bundler for Obummer in Chicago. She was just recently nominated for Commerce Secretary. According to Wiki, she was on the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitveness and apparently also served on the President’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board. I thought the Jobs Council only met a few times over the 3-4 year period. Not sure about the Econ Recovery Board.

This is an interesting article about her and the nomination:
Penny Pritzker not a hit with the 99%
“Safely ensconced in his second and final term, President Obama finds all this dubious financial history by a longtime top fundraiser easy to overlook. But what messages does it really send? All in all, it sounds just like the right background for Commerce cabinet pick – if we are talking about the Commerce Department of a third world country.
What was that again about hope and change?”

I also remember Beck discussing her on his TV show a couple of years ago.
