I've argued from the beginning that bringing the CFPB online is how Obama funded his version of Operation Mockingbird. Insiders complain how the CFPB shakes down good actors for no reason other than money. The CFPB in turn funds Mockingbird Publications. The sad thing is, the minute you use "consumer" or "protection" in a law, the country goes batshit if you try to unroll it. It was their insurance the program would continue.
It's being unwound quietly under Trump, though. He appointed Mulvaney. And Mulvaney is apparently very good with managing money.
