| Obama Admin Tells Banks To Shut Up About Its Targeting of Consumers, Gun Dealers |
| 2015-01-30 |
| [DAILYCALLER] A shocking bulletin that CFPB issued to banks, which was obtained by The Daily Caller, was sent around this week in the midst of controversy regarding the administration’s Operation Choke Point program, by which the administration pressures banks to cut off accounts for supposedly suspicious businesses, including gun dealers. Operation Choke Point’s anti-gun mission was recently confirmed in a series of audiotapes published by the US Consumer Coalition, in which a bank teller explained to a gun dealer why his account was being shut down. “The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau [CFPB] issues this compliance bulletin as a reminder that, with limited exceptions, persons in possession of confidential information, including confidential supervisory information [CSI], may not disclose such information to third parties,” the bulletin states. “‘Confidential information’ means ‘confidential consumer complaint information, confidential investigative information, and confidential supervisory information, as well as any other CFPB information that may be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act pursuant,” according to the bulletin. |

| #8 I blame the banks as well because if they'd raised a fury over this some time ago the politicians would have scurried away from the plan. |

| #5 Richard Cordray, Director of the Bureau worked for several prominent Republicans and ran for several offices and was defeated each time. He has always been in high level government positions by appointment only. He is now considered a Democrat and political operative, appointed to Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau by Obama and is ultimately responsible for abusing the power of his office to prevent the commerce of products that are legal and indeed are specifically protected by the United States Constitution. General Contact information for this Bureau is 855-411-2372. |
