"Bounced business owners and industry reps from secret meetings it’s held with Democrat operatives, radical civil-rights activists, trial lawyers and other “community advisers,” according to a report by the House Financial Services Committee.

Retained GMMB, the liberal advocacy group that created ads for the Obama and Hillary Clinton presidential campaigns, for more than $40 million, making the Democrat shop the sole recipient of CFPB’s advertising expenditure, Rubin says. […]

Funneled a large portion of the more than $5 billion in penalties collected from defendants to community organizers aligned with Democrats — “a slush fund by another name,” said a consultant who worked with CFPB on its Civil Penalty Fund and requested anonymity.

Reports of the CFPB awarding lucrative contracts to left-leaning organizations is nothing new.

Of course, because the CFPB operates independently of the U.S. Government

JUST SHUT IT DOWN!

The corruption supporting the Dems is amazing. It is coming out now that the leftists in the Vatican (including the Pope) are suspected of having diverted funds from Peter’s Pence, an international fundraising campaign for funds to be used by the Pope in charitable activities, to the Hillary Clinton campaign last year.

The sources of leftwing funding are so corrupt that it’s only the protection by US agencies (thinking of the FBI and CIA) that has allowed this to continue.

I think many people already knew this. Rush Limbaugh has mentioned it many times in the past few weeks. Doesn’t make it any more palatable, but it wasn’t much of a secret. The Obamadorks were very criminal.

Yeah, they were sqwalking a bit too much about this appointment. I figured it was a cash cow for them. We’re going to have to add a wing to Leavenworth!

This and rampant media coverup/collusion has been the only reason the democratic party even manages to exist at all!

Shut it all down. Now!

The CFPB would shakedown banks, financial institutions, and others then redirected the fines. If the fine was $1 million, the CFPB would allow a $2 for $1 scheme if donated to MoveON.org, LaRaza, or other leftwing parasite organizations.

This is not a secret. This was how the agency was designed.

The CFPB is the Obama Administration government version of the Mafia's protection rackets

This deserves a RICO prosecution.

No wonder they flipped out with when The Chosen One lost. Time to make them pay for their theft and anti-American activities.

More to the point, the CFPB operates independently of the executive branch, the executive branch being the branch of government where government functions are supposed to be executed.

It's a place where the Deep State has taken over.

Sort of like the DOJ and the FBI.

Between this and the arrests of a lot of rich Saudis who backed the Democrats, the Swamp has really taken a couple of big hits in the last few weeks.

WINNING! I’m not tired of it yet.

If you aren’t getting enough swag from criminal asset forfeiture to bankroll your pet projects, manufacture violations and fine law-abiding Americans just trying to make a living.
These public sector entrepreneurs, wow. When do we shut down this orwellian, statist tyranny?

Is it reasonable to think that the republican’s in Congress stood silently by as Obama and his fellow commie travelers concocted this scheme? You would ar least think that they would have squealed like little piggies?
