Fototeca Gilardi/Getty Images President Joe Biden recently nominated Cornell University law professor Saule Omarova to a key Treasury Department position. Ahead of her testimony before Congress on Thursday, experts are warning that her confirmation would be disastrous for the American financial system.
As The Daily Wire has previously reported, Omarova — a Kazakh-American who graduated from Moscow State University in 1989 — was tapped by Biden to serve as Comptroller of the Currency, which “charters, regulates, and supervises all national banks.”
Omarova’s nomination originally made waves after the discovery of posts displaying apparent sympathy toward the fallen Soviet Union and its alleged gender equality. Omarova has also called for the bankruptcy of oil and gas companies to fight climate change, argued for the Federal Reserve to manage consumer bank deposits, and drafted a thesis entitled “Karl Marx’s Economic Analysis and the Theory of Revolution in Das Kapital ” during her college years.
In an interview with The Daily Wire, Norbert Michel — who directs the Cato Institute’s Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives — said that Omarova’s confirmation would effectively federalize the American banking sector.
The Comptroller of the Currency, according to Michel, is “the main federal regulator for federally chartered banks.” Beyond sitting on the boards of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Financial Stability Oversight Council, the Comptroller “has enormous discretion to direct banking activity through examination and enforcement actions, including which types of customers banks lend to.”
If she becomes Comptroller of the Currency, Omarova and other officials would have the power to “be allocating credit and funds” — deciding “who gets loans and straight transfers of money” — by putting money into people’s accounts or taking money out of their accounts, Michel added. Under her plan, “the private sector could not compete with the federal government.”
“The danger is that private banks would not be able to provide better interest rates to customers and charge lower rates to make loans,” Michel explained. “It would be a matter of policy that decided private banks’ fate.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
