Mulvaney tells CFPB to "disregard" instruction from Leandra English
Axios ^ | 11/27/17 | Erica Pandy

Posted on 11/27/2017 11:54:28 AM PST by markomalley

White House budget director Mick Mulvaney, named by President Trump as acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, sent a memo to the agency's staff Monday that read: "Please disregard any instructions you receive from Ms. English in her presumed capacity as Acting Director," Reuters reports. He also brought donuts.

The backdrop: The CFPB currently has two chiefs. Leandra English is former director Richard Cordray's pick to lead the agency, and she has sued the Trump administration over Mulvaney's appointment. Mulvaney told staffers to report any communications from English to the general counsel of the CFPB, who has said she believes Mulvaney has the authority of acting director.

Have the cops escort her from the building. Cancel her key card. Empty her desk. Change the locks on her file cabinet. Quarantine her computer and all files.

In my book, whoever pays for the donuts is the boss. She
needs to get off the island.

The CFPB was set up under the jurisdiction of the FEDERAL RESERVE, which is itself unbelievable.

The fact that an Assistant Director is attempting a power grab and defying the elected head of the Federal Government is evidence enough of how biased and corrupt it is, and how it should be eliminated.

NUKE the unconstitutional CFPB!!!

The Constitution gives the feds no power to meddle in "consumer protection" issues.

Yep, take her badge & put her on paid administrative leave until paperwork can be created to discharge her permanently.

Maybe the US Marshalls would be a better choice in this case.

What kind of donuts? The kind you buy from the gas station or the kind you get from a actual bakery?

If you bring donuts you are the boss but if you bring bakery donuts I will call you sir. :)

“Richard Cordray’s pick to lead the agency”

In other words, Cordray was appointed to the agency, and he has more authority than the President of the United States.
