Warren goes off on Trump over CFPB defense

Source: The Hill




BY MAX GREENWOOD - 11/25/17 07:02 PM EST

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) savaged President Trump on Saturday for his claim that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has crippled financial institutions, claiming that the president would destroy the watchdog agency.

In a series of tweets Saturday night, Warren defended CFPB's work, saying that the agency had forced financial institutions to return ill-gotten money to those they wronged and accusing Trump of taking up for powerful banks.








Hours earlier, Trump blasted the CFPB, saying that under the Obama administration it had left financial institutions "devastated and unable to properly serve the public."

The watchdog agency was established by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act, which sought to overhaul U.S. financial regulations in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.

something like 1600 in 10 months, not including election, or 16 per day or 1 every 30 minutes of 8 hour work day.
Oops that is 1603 after today.

Someone needs to file a state suit [federal he can "trump" his way out but not state] for libel, defamation, slander and LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE so the (p)Resident-in-chief can trade that funky red tie for an orange jump suit that matches his skin color and like matter/antimatter maybe he will disappear.

The Supreme President is the "fake news" of the day.
