Discussion: Trump's Choice To Be Navy Secretary Withdraws

Aww I see what you did there. Good move now don’t look back and keep running.

Last week Spice Boy called reports this was going to happen fake news

Apparently not many out-of-work billionaires these days ?

Bilden withdraws and spurts out a torrent of excuses, erm…reasons why he must turn down the nomination.

He relocated to Hong Kong to set up an Asian presence for HarbourVest Partners LLC, a global private equity management firm. Bilden recently retired from HarbourVest Partners after 25 years.

I suspect he didn’t want to expose himself to all those questions over his private Russian bussiness ties through his private equity management company. Hey, its possible. Why else would he have been chosen for this administration in the first place? Seems Drumpf got his exclusive list of appointees directly from the Kremlin at this point, most of whom have appeared to launder money for Trump, or Russia, or both.

A swamp thing of course:
Trump to nominate Richard Spencer for Navy secretary
President Donald Trump says he’s found a new candidate for the civilian post of Navy secretary.

His name is Richard Spencer, and he’s a former financial industry executive. Spencer is also a former Marine Corps captain.

The White House says Spencer most recently was managing partner of Fall Creek Management, a privately held management consulting company in Wyoming. Spencer also was vice chairman and chief financial officer for Intercontinental Exchange Inc., a financial market company, and president of Crossroads Group, a venture capital firm that was bought by Lehman Brothers in 2003.

Trump’s first choice for Navy secretary, businessman Philip Bilden, withdrew from consideration in February. Bilden cited privacy concerns and the difficulty of separating from his business interests.

The Senate must approve of Spencer’s nomination.
