I think the Beatles’ song “I’m a Loser” is appropriate here.

Yup. For insubordination, and trying to organize a coup against her boss.

Why in the world isn't this CFPB simply de-funded and disband? As in, months ago?

Arguing over who run's it gives it legitimacy.

Thanks for the lead. Here's the 2015 article:

"CFPB Joins Justice In Shaking Down Banks For Democrat Activist Groups"

Looking for the identity of the "secret donor" financing this suit? Start with those activist groups who were funneled all the penalty funds - and would lose it all if Trump cleans up the corruption in the CFPB.

Emails Confirm: Obama DOJ Funneled Big Bank Settlement Money To Liberal Groups

The Daily Caller / 10/24/2017 | Jack Crowe
FR Posted by ForYourChildren

Emails written by Obama administration Department of Justice officials confirm reports the agency engaged in a systemic effort to funnel money to liberal advocacy organizations from settlements reached with big banks.

The documents, obtained by the House Judiciary Committee as part of an ongoing investigation, reveal the Obama Justice Department effectively skirted Congress’s budgetary authority by requiring that major financial institutions donate to a group of affordable housing nonprofits and legal advocacy organizations as part of settlement agreements resulting from predatory mortgage lending practices.

The internal DOJ documents represent the latest revelation in a two-year investigation spearheaded by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte.

The investigation has thus far yielded evidence implicating the Obama DOJ in using mandatory donations to funnel roughly $1 billion in settlement money to activist groups, including The National Council of La Raza, the National Community Reinvestment Coalition and the National Urban League. The list of third party organizations were unrelated to the legal settlements, except through general claims that they would use the funds to aid the low income Americans most severely harmed by predatory lending practices.

SESSIONS STOPS Justice Department Ends Government Bankrolling of Liberal Groups in Legal Settlements

FR Posted by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
The Daily Signal ^ | June 7, 2017 | Rachel del Guidice

The federal government no longer will make settlement agreements with any person or organization not directly involved in a legal dispute, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Wednesday. The move by Sessions abolished a practice that has funneled likely millions of dollars in banking settlements to outside organizations in such “third-party” payments.

Left-wing groups, including La Raza and NeighborWorks America, benefited from the practice, The Daily Signal previously reported.

In a formal statement, Sessions said: Effective immediately, [Justice] Department attorneys may not enter into any agreement on behalf of the United States in settlement of federal claims or charges, including agreements... more on FR.

Sessions can’t muster. To ever raise himself from his comatose condition, and trouble himself to actually *lead* the Justice Department, has proven to be far too great a task.

“Sessionized” is the new “Borked”, the new caricature for poor Jeff, after a year of dithering do-nothing and the opposite performance, for which TRUMP nominated him.

Sadly disappointed, because so much depends on hapless Jeff actively displaying inaction, killing Trump softly and touching none and nothing of the enemies and plots against Trump.

Good point. If they can waste money and not care then only 2 possibilities. 1. They are the dark powers behind the swamp. 2. They are Karl Rove/Mitch McConnell donors. :>)

A stunning money hole, this goofy organism.

What are these funders going to say when the org is paraded into the public square as nothing, if not a trouble maker for banks and a lush slush fund for all those Leftist causes Obama had them keep propped up? With Federal Reserve money, no less.

How do you beat that, Mr. Donor Soros F. PAC?

Obama, Warren, Rats, and their ilk etc. are not smart enough to set something like this up. This whole thing reeks of Soros. As evil as this POS is, he would be the prime suspect in putting together a money-laundering scheme like this. The whole damn thing is illegal and those associated in any way with it need to be indicted and sent to jail....for a very long time. IF Soros is involved, it’s time to send in a team and take this bassturd out....once and for all. Better yet, ship his sorry azz to Putin as a goodwill measure.

It is a weird creation. It is funded by the Federal Reserve Bank so that Congress can't defund it. There is no Congressional oversight, either.

It was created by Congress and can be terminated by Congress.

"It was created by Congress and can be terminated by Congress."

Then congress should eliminate it post haste.

The damned swamp is deeper than many thought. And probably even deeper still.

It's looking like we will be fortunate if Trump is able to drain even 10% of it.

Bypassing congressional oversight is a subversion of the constitution. Bypassing congressional funding is criminal subversion of the constitution. Liawatha Warren should be impeached.

That needs to happen.

“Unfortunately, this will not be over until Trump gets his man in office, and then the new head guy, shuts down this cash cow for the rats.”

The GOP Congress needs to pass legislation that any money collected by a federal agency through the regulatory process or legal process must be deposited in the Treasury general fund. No agency can spend funds without an appropriate from Congress (per the Constitution). It is long past time to end the practice of federal agencies using the power of the government to shake money out of citizens and private sector companies and then pay that money out to leftist organizations.

“It [CFPB] was created by Congress and can be terminated by Congress.”

If Congress was performing under the one party leadership of Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell the termination of the CFPB could be accomplished in less than one day. The House passes a one paragraph bill killing the agency between 9:00 am and noon. At 1:00 pm the Senate takes up the bill and passes it by 2:00 pm. At 3:00 pm President Trump signs the bill and orders the acting secretary of the CFPB to start the process of dismantling the agency. At 8:00 am the next morning the firings take place.
