You're Fired: Mick Mulvaney Fires Entire CFPB Advisory Board

It’s an agency that you wouldn’t think would be in the news much, but the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau became another front in the war against the Trump administration for the Left. Now, acting director Mick Mulvaney has just fired the entire 25-member advisory board, which was starting to criticize the front office. Last night, Mulvaney told its members that they were being replaced. You’re fired, as Trump would say. It’s a purge, some late spring-cleaning but one that could bring this administration into conflict with congressional Democrats (via WaPo):

    Mick Mulvaney, acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, fired the agency’s 25-member advisory board Wednesday, days after some of its members criticized his leadership of the watchdog agency.

    The CFPB said it will revamp the Consumer Advisory Board, known as the CAB, in the fall with all new members.

    The panel has traditionally played an influential role in advising the CFPB’s leadership on new regulations and policies. But some members, who include prominent consumer advocates, academics and industry executives, began to complain that Mulvaney was ignoring them and making unwise decisions about the agency’s future.

    On Monday, 11 CAB members held a news conference and criticized Mulvaney for, among other things, canceling legally required meetings with the group.

    On Wednesday, group members were notified that they were being replaced — and that they could not reapply for spots on the new board.

    In a statement, the agency’s spokesman, John Czwartacki, took a final swipe at the group. “The outspoken members of the Consumer Advisory Board seem more concerned about protecting their taxpayer funded junkets to Washington, D.C., and being wined and dined by the Bureau than protecting consumers,” he said.

Good for him.  IT was/is a useless commission anyway.

That's a pretty hilarious, ballsy move.  Good for him.  The whole stupid thing shouldn't exist anyway, but if you can't formally eliminate it, then firing everyone is the next best thing.

This is an Obama creation under the Dodd-Frank law.   

Trump just signed a law modifying Dodd-Frank.  It was originally proposed by Elizabeth Warren.

I like it.   Can we fire all the folks in the EPA also?

Mulvaney is awesome.  He alone makes the Trump Presidency worthwhile.  Wish his OMB had more influence.

Permission granted!   But why stop there?  Seems to me that about 2/3s of the current federal government staff is entirely redundant.

Redundancy is great if we still had a space program and sent people into space.   Not so much for the gubberment as you said!  888high58888
