Judge Praised
“The Administration applauds the court’s decision, which provides further support for the president’s rightful authority to designate Director Mulvaney as acting Director,” Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah said in a statement.
Justice Department lawyer Brett Shumate “Mulvaney is in office as the acting Director.”
Trump tweeted “just won the lawsuit on leadership of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, CFPB. A big win for the Consumer!”
Trump also praised members of his own Party. He tweeted “great day for Tax Cuts and the Republican Party. But the biggest Winner will be our great Country!”
In a few weeks the effects of the change in the leadership at the CFPB could be not noticed. The greatest concern might be how consumers would be affected.
The agency had been called a “consumer watchdog”, so should consumers be happy or afraid?
Could there be any connection with the takeover and Trump’s tax bill?
Things had certainly been going in the President’s favor, where all this leads was anyone’s guess.
We all just have to wait to find out who will benefit from all of the changes. Let us hope everyone benefit and not just a select few.
