WASHINGTON, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives are pushing to hold Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray in contempt of Congress for refusing to respond sufficiently to congressional subpoenas.

................................

The report marked the most direct threat yet to pursue legal action against Cordray, who was appointed by Democratic former President Barack Obama after the agency was created under the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law.

.............................
In response to the report, CFPB spokeswoman Jen Howard said the agency had already produced "thousands of pages" in response to the requests and was endeavoring to do more.

..........................




"The Republican attacks on Director Cordray and the Consumer Bureau are entirely baseless, and there are no grounds at all for them to hold the Director in contempt," Maxine Waters, the top Democrat on Hensarling's panel, said in a statement to Reuters.

1. Further confirmation that the GOPs do not know how to govern.

All GOPers know is blame, steal, cheat and falsely charge and do fake investigations and conduct fake news with no facts. GOPers are far far far away from the reality that sane people live in. GOPers create chaos and promote hatred.
