Steve Mnuchin wound up playing the role of “guy who negotiates with congressional Democrats about stuff” which is a key job, but it’s not formally part of anyone’s job description. Personally, I doubt it will be Yellen’s role at Treasury. — PolitiTweet.org

One challenge with explaining “what does job X really do?” is that while various offices have various formal roles, it also just matters a lot who the president and chief of staff choose to listen to and who is *perceived* as able to credibly speak on the president’s behalf. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve also been told by career people that Mnuchin spent a lot of time on the national security aspects of the Treasury job basically because he enjoyed it, whereas Geithner largely delegated that because he didn’t enjoy it. — PolitiTweet.org
