Federal judge rules in favor of Trump administration in CFPB case

Buzzfeed phrases it differently. The judge denied a request for an emergency order to block Trump from appointing Mick Mulvaney as the acting head of CFPB. The judge said that Leandra English, the CFPB official suing Trump and Mulvaney who claims to be rightful acting director failed to show that she was likely to succeed in her lawsuit at this stage of the case.

Deepak Gupta is her lawyer. He and English are weighing options. They want to immediately appeal.

English is pursuing a two-pronged legal challenge. First, Dodd-Frank Act articulated a stand-alone succession order for the bureau that should take precedence. Second Mulvaney is an inappropriate pick due to him being director of OMB and that undermines CFPB independence.

Raj Shah, White House spokesperson said,

"Your self-serving plan to carve out a barony from government failed, Bitches, now knock it the f off. Jesus Christ on a jackhammer, you people never stop, do you? "

Wait. That was my thoughts intruding as I read,  not what Raj Shah said. Sorry. I got mixed up again.

Raj Shah actually said,

"It’s time for the Democrats to stop enabling this brazen political stunt by a rogue employee and allow Acting Director Mulvaney to continue the Bureau’s smooth transition into an agency that truly serves to help consumers." 

Kind of the same thing.

Maybe it'd be better if you read buzzfeed's report yourself. I'm translating buzzfeed bias to my own as I go so I leave out things like the judge was selected by Trump, and add things they omit like sweary words and, "for the win!"
