You aren't going to staff something like the CFPB with people who don't understand finance at a high level, and people like that are going to have lucrative options available to them after they leave the bureau.
Right, I wouldn't expect anything less. But Progressives/Conservatives seem to think that they can setup the right mix of rules, hurdles and people to avoid this as well as any potential abuse of power all while keeping big business at bay or at least leashed.
APK seems to think the CFPB is immune unlike Treasury, the FCC, the SEC, et. al The thing is the freakin DHS of the financial industry with even less oversight. (Like literally, same as DHS they grabbed a whole bunch of various agencies and jammed them all together and told somebody to make a new org chart.)
