"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.

The CFPB should not exist.

It was created to be Elizabeth Warren’s personal bureaucratic dictatorship. It is, in its very construction, a rogue agency.

Congress should repeal the portion of Dodd-Frank that created it, if it does not have the gonads to do what it really should - repeal Dodd-Frank altogether.

Redirect all the money to GOP causes until the Dems squeal and then, when they inevitably do, act shocked and shut the whole thing down. Beat them at their own game.

Every damned penny of US taxpayer money needs to be clawed back and put back where it belongs.

And TEA party groups operate on a shoestring and a prayer.

If this sort of thing isn’t seriously cleaned up, we’re done as a country.

No wonder they are trying so hard to get rid of Trump in any way possible. The corruption the last decade (at least) has been through the roof.

They're protecting their necks. The only remaining gallows in the U.S.:

...CFPB is engaged in a wide-variety of corruption. Everything from amassing secret ledgers to using penalties to ‘launder,’ funds into left-wing causes.

Could this be the 'multiagency FBI et al ' thing going on today in DC?

A complete audit needs to be done of all of this agency’s activities from top to bottom.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)is an independent unit located inside and funded by the United States Federal Reserve, with interim affiliation with the U.S. Treasury Department. Because Congress created the CFPB as part of the Dodd-Frank financial reforms of 2010, the whole law – or, at least the provisions authorizing the consumer protection bureau – must be struck down or the entire CFPB needs to be dismantled.
